"Rare footage of [blank] actually [blank]"

What is the origin of that saying? I've heard at least three or so different times said in like a snarky, sarcastic tone by commentators during a match. They were something like "Rare footage of M2K actually smiling" and "Rare footage of Mango actually mad" or something along those lines.

Is that a reference to something?

It's a meme originating from the street fighter tournament scene. Here's what tvtropes had to say on the subject.

  • "Rare footage of X [insert phrase here]." A derivative of the commentary from the above EVO match, which, upon seeing Umehara backed into a corner and on the verge of a loss, notes that this is "Rare footage of Daigo angry."
