The 'We've Been Tricked, We've Been Backstabbed and We've Been, Quite Possibly, Bamboozled' meme originates from the long-running web series Red vs. Blue, a Halo-based machinima. Spoken by the character Sarge in Season 12, the line is a redundant and increasingly dramatic reaction to a perceived betrayal. Since its debut, the clip has become a staple for internet users wishing to express the feeling of being lied to or outsmarted by a convoluted scheme. It is widely used in gaming communities, online discourse, and everyday situations where a minor inconvenience feels like a grand conspiracy, often highlighted by the humorous and rhythmic escalation of Sarge's dialogue.
