Command and Conquer Generals is a real time strategy game released in 2003, and the Worker is the basic construction and supply unit for the Global Liberation Army faction. His exaggerated voice lines became the faction's most quoted jokes, shared in forums, videos and soundboards long after release. This build reply is one of several short acknowledgements recorded for the unit, and its popularity sits alongside the wider gla worker meme, which strategy fans still use to joke about labour, obedience and bad working conditions.
About this sound
GLA Worker build order voice line from Command and Conquer Generals, the short reply played when you assign a Worker to construct a building in game.
This is a brief voice clip of the GLA Worker unit responding to a build order in Command and Conquer Generals. Lasting just over a second, it features the unit's distinctive eager, heavily accented delivery as he acknowledges the command before shuffling off to work. The line is instantly recognisable to strategy players because Workers are used constantly for construction and resource gathering. Its earnest, overworked tone makes the sound funny out of context, turning a routine real time strategy instruction into a small character moment that fans quote and recognise immediately.
