Dagoth Ur is the main antagonist of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, released in 2002, a godlike former councillor corrupted by the Heart of Lorkhan who confronts the player beneath Red Mountain. His distinctive, theatrical voice acting made many of his lines memorable long after the game's release, and short clips from his dialogue later circulated on soundboards and in meme edits. This brief 'ew, thank you' moment survives because it is instantly usable: it condenses his arrogant, dismissive personality into a single sarcastic reaction for modern videos.
