The line comes from Team Fortress 2, Valve's class-based shooter released in 2007, where Scout is the fast-talking Boston runner known for taunts about food, baseball and himself. Voiced as an in-game response, the bucket of chicken quote became a favourite clip among TF2 players because it sums up Scout's bragging personality in a few seconds. It later spread through gaming videos, remixes and soundboards, staying popular as a short reaction for players who grew up quoting Scout lines with friends.
