The line comes from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the 2002 open world game set in a neon, sun-soaked version of Miami in the 1980s. It is part of the ambient street dialogue heard from passers-by as they wander the city in the heat. Players remembered the throwaway complaint because it summed up the setting so neatly, and short clips of it later spread on soundboards and in edits as a ready-made reaction for hot weather, summer scenes and sunny gameplay moments online.
