A quick time event from the 2013 video game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance in which the protagonist Raiden rapidly punches the main villain Senator Steven Armstrong in the stomach to no effect.
The scene, often combined from the song It Has to Be This Way (better known by its first lyric "Standing Here I Realize") from the game's soundtrack, has been used as source material for image macros, video captions, GIF captions and remakes. Note that the song doesn't play in this part but rather the final phase in actual gameplay.
