Gangplank is a pirate champion in League of Legends, Riot Games' popular team-based battle arena game, and this clip uses his Portuguese voice line threatening to hear an enemy's entrails boil. The Portuguese dub gives the threat a distinctive, theatrical edge that Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking players recognise instantly, which helped the line travel beyond matches into memes, edits and soundboards. It remains popular because the wording is so vivid and over-the-top that it works as a shorthand for villainy, menace and dark humour in short videos.
