The line comes from Star Fox 64, released for Nintendo 64 in 1997, where Falco Lombardi flies alongside Fox McCloud as a Star Fox team wingman. It plays in missions when the player hits Falco's Arwing with friendly fire, prompting his sarcastic complaint. Clips of Nintendo 64 voice lines later circulated on forums, YouTube compilations, and soundboards, where this quote stood out for its attitude. It remains popular with retro fans who use it as shorthand for mistakenly attacking an ally.
