Lucille comes from The Walking Dead, where Negan, leader of the Saviors, names his barbed wire wrapped baseball bat after his late wife. The character and weapon first appeared in the comics in 2012 before reaching television in 2016, and the bat quickly became one of the franchise's most recognisable symbols. Short voice clips calling to bring out Lucille spread through fan edits and soundboards because the reference needs no explanation for viewers who know what follows.
