The line comes from Command and Conquer Generals, the 2003 real-time strategy game in which the GLA, or Global Liberation Army, is one of the playable factions. Its workers are the faction's basic builders and resource gatherers, and selecting one cycles through a set of short spoken responses, of which this pleading line is one. Fans later ripped and shared the game's unit voices on soundboards, where the worker's nervous personality made this line a favourite for comedy edits, reaction videos and strategy-game streams, long after the original game left the spotlight.
