Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was released by Rockstar Games in 2004, and its opening introduces Carl Johnson returning to Los Santos after years away. His first line, spoken as trouble finds him almost immediately, became one of the game's most quoted moments. As clips, edits and reaction videos spread across YouTube and later TikTok, the phrase turned into shorthand for being dragged back into a familiar mess. It endures because the situation is universal, and because the game remains one of the most recognisable titles of its era.
