Having watched a lot of silly videos made in Gary's Mod, I have noticed a recurring gag: a black bald guy in a white shirt who is obsessed with pills. I assume he is from Half-Life (which I haven't played) but as funny as I find him, I have no idea where the gag stems from.

Can anybody explain where the "pills pills pills!" joke actually originates?

He's one of the characters in Left 4 Dead, not Half Life.

I've played L4D but only briefly so I can't give you any more info there

The black guy in a white shirt is Louis from Left 4 Dead. He's not actually obsessed with pills in game, but the game has some easily abused voice commands/responses because painkiller pills are one of the two healing items.

Only when you play as him, purple.

I'm thinking you're projecting onto Louis, who cannot defend himself due to being a fictional video game character.

Shame on you.

Oh, so you view the "Black, pill addicted guy" as expendable. Nice way to be racially sensitive.

You utter racist.

Pretty much what the others said. Character from left 4 dead that spawned a sort of meme because of how excited and strange he sounds when he finds pills.
