The line comes from Conan the Barbarian, the 1982 sword-and-sorcery film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Cimmerian warrior Conan. In the scene, Conan is asked what is best in life and gives his brutal answer about crushing enemies, a moment that quickly became the film's most quoted exchange. Shared for decades in film discussions, it later spread through YouTube edits, gaming videos and short-form memes, where its over-the-top confidence made it a shorthand for victory and revenge.

The famous answer to what is best in life, from Conan the Barbarian, in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice, used for victory and revenge meme edits.
The clip opens with the question posed to Conan, then cuts to his slow, gravelly reply listing crushing enemies, driving them before him, and hearing the lamentation of their women. Arnold Schwarzenegger delivers each phrase with heavy pauses and a low, menacing calm, backed by the film's tense atmosphere, so the line lands less like a joke and more like a declaration of dominance. Listeners instantly recognise the swagger and brutality of the character, which is why the audio feels triumphant, intimidating, and darkly funny all at once, especially when it follows a win or a comeback.
