Purin is the Japanese name for Jigglypuff, the round pink Pokémon that appears as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube in 2001. Clips of game voices have long been ripped and remixed on soundboards, and this version adds a heavy echo to a high-pitched scream to make it sound larger and more dramatic. Shared as a short standalone effect, it moved beyond gameplay footage into meme edits and reaction videos, where its familiar game origin and exaggerated delivery make it instantly recognisable.
