Team Fortress 2, Valve's class-based multiplayer shooter released in 2007, gave each of its nine classes a distinct personality through voice lines, and the Spy became famous for his calm French accent and disguise-based gameplay. Short clips of his threats circulated on soundboards and in gameplay videos as players reused his best lines outside matches. The line endures because it is short, instantly recognisable to TF2 players, and easy to drop into edits, streams and memes whenever a sneaky or dramatic moment needs a voice.
