The Terminator appeared as a guest fighter in Mortal Kombat 11, the 2019 fighting game from NetherRealm Studios, bringing the film character into its roster of arcade combatants. As with every fighter, winning a match triggers a short announcer call naming the victor, and players began clipping and sharing those calls as standalone sounds. The Terminator version stuck because the contrast between the game's booming announcer and the famously terse film icon makes the win feel larger than life, and it still circulates in gaming edits, reaction videos and versus montages.
