The clip is listed as coming from Gex 2, the wise-cracking gecko platformer series. Short enemy callouts like this were commonly ripped from late-90s console games and shared on user soundboards, where the oddly specific wording helped it stand out. It never became a mainstream meme, but it survives as a niche reaction sound for gaming edits. Creators keep using it because the phrase is instantly visual, turning any red shirt in a crowd or lobby into an instant joke without extra context.
