The line comes from the guard NPCs in The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion, the Bethesda RPG released in 2006 for PC, Xbox 360 and later PlayStation 3. Oblivion guards became famous online for their limited, heavily repeated dialogue, which players clipped and quoted for years. This combat line survived because it sums up that reputation in two seconds, sounding ready for battle and fed up at the same time. It remains a shorthand for reluctant duty in gaming edits, reaction videos and RPG memes.
