The phrase 'But why? Why would you do that?' became a reusable reaction clip on meme soundboards because it needs no context to be understood. Unlike sounds tied to a specific character or scene, its meaning is carried entirely by the wording and delivery, so creators can drop it onto almost any footage. It spread through short-form edits, gaming highlights and reaction compilations where a baffled response was needed quickly. It remains popular because the two-part question gives editors a natural beat for a reveal and a reaction in one clip.
