The voice is Carl Johnson, known as CJ, the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, whose weary reaction to returning to Los Santos became one of the game's most quoted moments. As clips from the game spread through YouTube, TikTok and meme edits, the line was lifted out of its original scene and reused as shorthand for trouble starting again. A longer version, Aw Shit, Here We Go Again, circulates alongside this shorter clip, and both remain popular because the delivery feels instantly recognisable even to people who have never played the game.
About this sound
CJ from GTA San Andreas says here we go again in this short voice clip, used in memes and edits when a familiar chaotic situation starts all over again.
CJ's weary, resigned voice delivers the phrase in a low, matter-of-fact tone, as if he already knows exactly how badly the next few minutes are going to go. The short clip captures that sigh-before-the-storm feeling, with no music or background noise to distract from the delivery, so it lands instantly even in a fast edit. For viewers who recognise the character, it works as a knowing nod to repeated chaos, failed plans and missions that never go smoothly, setting up the joke before anything else has even happened on screen.
