Age of Mythology, released in 2002, is a real-time strategy game from Ensemble Studios in which players build mythological civilisations and battle online. Like earlier Age of Empires games, it included a set of spoken taunts that players could send to opponents during a match, and this insult was one of those short, reusable lines. The taunts were later collected on soundboards and in gameplay videos, where the fool line survived as a quick way to gloat after a win or mock a rival's mistake.
