Age of Empires II launched in 1999 from Ensemble Studios with a numbered taunt system that let players trigger short voice lines in chat during multiplayer matches. Taunt 22 in English was Quit touchin me, and the French localisation replaced it with the idiomatic Bas les pattes. The lines became a shared language on LANs and online lobbies, repeated for comic timing rather than strategy. Re-releases including the HD and Definitive editions kept the classic taunts alive, helping short clips like this one move onto soundboards and into gaming videos decades later.
About this sound
The French AoE2 taunt 22 where a villager shouts Bas les pattes, used in Age of Empires 2 games to tell another player to stop touching your stuff.
This is the French version of Age of Empires 2 taunt number 22, a very short voice line that lasts less than a second. A male in-game voice snaps Bas les pattes in a sharp, annoyed tone, the French equivalent of quit touching me or hands off. There is no music or background noise, just the quick shouted phrase delivered like a warning. Players recognise it instantly from multiplayer lobbies, where it was spammed to tease allies and opponents and to react when someone interfered with a base, units or resources during a match.
