Gex: Enter the Gecko, released in 1998 as Gex 2, built its humour around constant pop culture one liners from its wisecracking gecko hero as he jumped between television themed worlds. Lines were designed to be short, odd and quotable, which made them natural material for later soundboards and clip sharing. This hairpiece line survives because it needs no context to sound strange, so gamers and editors reuse isolated Gex quotes as instant absurd reactions long after the original platform game.
