Ladies and Gentlemen, We Got Him

A pairing: Breakbot's Baby I'm Yours dropped over footage of somebody being caught out, with a 2003 press-conference line by the American diplomat Paul Bremer announcing the capture of Saddam Hussein as the cue. Used for arrests, ambushes and jokes at a friend's expense.

The quotation is not from a film. It is from a real 2003 press conference given by an American diplomat, and most people using the audio have never heard the rest of the sentence.

The template needs three things and always the same three: the announcement, the horn stab, and footage of somebody realising too late. The subject matter is interchangeable.

Logged in a group chat where someone's browser history was screenshotted. The clip was edited, scored and sent within four minutes. The horn stab arrived before anyone typed a word.
