About this sound

GLA Worker build order voice line from Command and Conquer Generals, the short reply the peasant unit gives when ordered to construct a building.

This is the GLA Worker build order response from Command and Conquer Generals, a very short voice clip of the lowly peasant unit acknowledging a construction order. His weary, resigned tone and thick accent turn a routine real time strategy click into instant comedy, because the worker sounds put upon even before the job begins. The delivery is dry, obedient and slightly miserable, which is why the line lands as a joke about thankless labor rather than a heroic battle cry, and why players still quote it decades later.

Pro tip

Place it right on the click when a character is assigned a choresome task, then cut to them actually doing it. Keep the game sound clean and upfront, do not bury it under music, and avoid repeating it for every order in the scene.

How people use it

Drop it when assigning tedious tasks in strategy gameplay videos.
Use it for memes about starting unwanted chores at work.
Play it when a friend volunteers for a thankless job.
Add it to edits showing construction starting in game builds.

More information

Command and Conquer Generals was released in 2003 by Electronic Arts as a real time strategy game, and the Worker is the Global Liberation Army's basic builder unit. Unlike other factions, the GLA uses individual workers instead of a construction vehicle, giving the unit many repeated voice responses that players heard constantly. Those resigned replies became the faction's most quoted joke, spread through forums, videos and soundboards, and remain a shorthand for reluctant labor and old school strategy nostalgia among fans of the series.
