Gex 3, the late-1990s platform game starring the wisecracking gecko Gex, was packed with topical jokes and celebrity references, and this brief Linda Tripp sauna pants line is a typical example of that dated, scattergun humour. Linda Tripp was a well-known public figure at the time, so the reference would have landed as a contemporary gag for players in that era. Today it survives mainly because soundboard users rediscover obscure game dialogue, sharing it as a surreal reaction clip divorced from its original level and context.
