About
"You Have No Conception of How Rare That Is! It Is Millions to One!" is a viral phrase said by Grand Theft Auto V streamer and speedrunner DarkViperAU after dying to a very rare event in the game. After the rage clip with the phrase was posted to YouTube in 2020, the line achieved popularity as a caption, while DarkViperAU's reaction was spread as a reaction video and an image macro format.
Origin
On December 5th, 2020, Grand Theft Auto V streamer and speedrunner DarkViperAU uploaded a fail video from his 2019 speedrun attempt of the game to his secondary DarkViperAU Extras YouTube[1] channel. In the clip, DarkViperAU is killed with a helicopter rocket, which is a rare occurrence, with DarkViperAU briefly raging. The clip (shown below) received over 730,000 views in three years, with an October 2022 YouTube[2] Short rehashing the clip gaining over 3.9 million views in one year.
You have no conception of how rare that is. It is millions to one!
In the original stream, shortly before he is killed, DarkViperAU comments, "if this helicopter blows me up with a rocket or takes out my tires, I'm gonna need to buy a new table."
Spread
The phrase achieved initial popularity within DarkViperAU fandom, and then the general Grand Theft Auto fandom.
