Payday 2 is a cooperative heist shooter first released in 2013 by Overkill Software, built around robberies, police standoffs and shouted orders to civilians and crew members. Short voice lines from the game spread easily on soundboards and in edits because they are clear out of context and instantly set a tense scene. This command survived as a gaming meme staple because the phrasing is oddly formal, making an ordinary surrender pose feel like an official police instruction.
