Expunged comes from Dave and Bambi, a fan-made Friday Night Funkin' mod centred on the characters Dave and Bambi and their increasingly strange encounters. As one of the mod's antagonists, Expunged became a favourite for fan edits, soundboards and short-form videos because his distorted lines are instantly recognisable even out of context. Voicelines like this one spread through gameplay clips, memes and remixes, and they remain popular with Friday Night Funkin' fans who use them to signal a sudden shift in tone or a character breaking down.
