The line comes from the 1996 science fiction film Independence Day, where a washed up pilot returns for the final attack on the alien invaders and delivers it over the radio before his last flight. Its mix of humour and self sacrifice made it one of the film's most quoted moments. Clips of the shout later spread on soundboards and in video edits, where it outlived the scene itself and became a shorthand comeback line for anyone reappearing after defeat, absence or being written off by everyone else.
