The line comes from Star Fox Adventures, the 2002 GameCube adventure in which Fox McCloud explores Dinosaur Planet alongside Tricky, a young dinosaur who follows him through the journey. Tricky often trails behind Fox, so a short call asking him to wait fits the character and the gameplay. Short voice clips from older games like this have found a second life on soundboards and in short-form edits, where a single recognisable line can set up a joke without explanation. Its appeal is simple: the voice is distinctive, the meaning is clear, and being left behind is easy to recognise.
