The legendary 'What Time Is It? Gametime!' chant features Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis leading his Baltimore Ravens teammates in an electrifying pre-game ritual. This specific sequence was a hallmark of the Ravens' locker room and field entrances throughout the early 2010s, notably captured in various NFL Films productions and Super Bowl XLVII coverage. In the clip, Lewis shouts the prompt 'What time is it?' to which the team roars back 'Game time!' followed by 'How hard?' and 'All day!' This display of raw leadership and intensity became synonymous with Lewis's career. In the meme world, this clip is the go-to template for 'hype' or 'locking in.' It represents a transition from procrastination to extreme focus, or the moment a group of people collectively decides to commit to a chaotic or difficult task. It is often used to satirize mundane situations by applying NFL-level intensity to them, such as preparing for a buffet, a video game match, or a last-minute study session. Example caption ideas include: 'Me and the boys walking into the 3 AM Waffle House run,' 'When the pre-workout kicks in right as you pull into the gym parking lot,' and 'My last two brain cells deciding it is finally time to start the 10-page essay due in an hour.'
