Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

This seems to be the phrase sweeping the OT nation the past month or two. I remember when I first saw it I thought "damn, not bad". But now it's used daily on here by different posters seemingly as a "drop the mic" or "/thread" kind of closer.
Anyone else notice this? Who gets credit for it's first use? I imagine it has origins elsewhere. Point is it's become strikingly common here.

It is a catchphrase used by youtube commentator TJ Sotomayor. Some of his videos get linked here. That's when I first noticed it.

I also like it. I seem to remember it being used here for well over a year.

it's fitting for some situations.
like breaking into someone's house and getting shot dead in the process.

Really? I first noticed it a month or so ago.
I admit it started to feel really cheesy to me when people obviously started copying what they had seen. Difference between this and other trends is this is supposed to be a "profound" phrase as opposed to the more mindless/funny trends.

What would you have said before this phrase came to light?

The actual phrase in the YouTube video is "play dumb arse games, win dumb arse prizes." I like that better

It seems to be used by the less educated, rural folks here.

We had a coach in HS that would tell us that all the time and im 99.9% certain he wasn't smart enough to come up with that on his own, its been around a long time, I graduated in 95.
