This clip is a generic, oversized explosion effect rather than a sound tied to one film, game or viral video, and its appeal comes from that flexibility. Online, creators use it as shorthand for destruction on an impossible scale, most famously for the joke that a planet has been destroyed or that an explosion is bigger than the universe itself. Because it is short, loud and instantly recognisable as a blast, it slots easily into meme edits, reaction videos and gaming montages, where a normal explosion would feel too small for the joke.
