Duke Nukem says it is time to kick ass in French in this short voice line from the classic shooter, used for confident entrances and gaming edits.

This is a brief French-dubbed voice clip of Duke Nukem delivering his famous catchphrase, translated as it is time to kick ass. The delivery is deep, gravelly and deliberately overconfident, with a macho action-hero tone that lands in just over two seconds. There is no music or background effect, just the clean, punchy line. For viewers it works as an instant signal of bravado and readiness, turning an ordinary moment into a mock-heroic entrance. The contrast between the iconic English-speaking character and the French phrasing adds extra comic charm for gaming audiences.

Duke Nukem is the sunglasses-wearing hero of the Duke Nukem first-person shooter series, which became widely known with Duke Nukem 3D in 1996. His one-liners helped define the character, especially the line about kicking ass and chewing bubblegum, itself a nod to action movie bravado. This clip uses the French rendering, c'est l'heure de botter des culs, which circulates online among French-speaking gamers. It remains popular as a reaction and entrance sound because the attitude is instantly understood even without the full game context.
