The line comes from Undertale, the 2015 role-playing game by Toby Fox, where Sans speaks it before his notoriously difficult boss fight on the game's Genocide Route. Because that fight became famous for its difficulty and for Sans breaking the game's usual rules, the warning quickly spread beyond the game as a meme. Clips and edits reused it whenever someone was about to face an impossible challenge, and it remains popular because it works even for viewers who have never played Undertale, as a short, ominous threat before a disaster.
