The sound comes from South Park, the long running animated comedy that began in 1997, and centres on Eric Cartman, one of its main characters and a frequent source of chaos for the other boys.

Short exasperated clips like this spread online as reaction sounds and soundboard favourites, shared in gaming videos, group chats and meme edits whenever someone needs a cartoon version of losing patience with a troublemaker.
