You've activated my trap card

A stupid rhetorical phrase used in the 4Kids version of the anime YuGiOh, that makes most anime fans embarrassed to watch it.

"You activated my trap card! A costly mistake!"

Seriously...wtf!? Well, that's what you get for watching an anime about a fraking card game.

Main character plays a card in a ridiculously nonsensical children's card game in which there seems to be no identifiable rules.

Main character: "You've activated my trap card! A costly mistake!"

Minor character is physically injured from the results of said children's card game.

You just activated my trap card.

A catch phrase that came from the Yu-Gi-Oh Trading Card game, and is usually said when someone is about to get owned, with complete confidence.

*man 1 gets enraged with fury*
Man 2: Ha, you couldn't beat me even if you tried!
Man 1: You just activated my trap card.
