The clip circulated on soundboards as Guy Making Foghorn Sound, credited in its file tags to SevTube 2, and picked up SpongeBob tags because the cartoon uses a foghorn as an alarm clock. Its stinky, gross out framing made it a go to joke for bad smells and ugly reveals in meme edits. Creators often swap it with other oversized reaction sounds like the faaah blast or a scream meme sting, but the human made horn stays distinct. It remains popular because one short blast instantly signals shock without needing any context or setup.
