Martin Prince is the nerdy, rule-loving classmate of Bart Simpson in The Simpsons, the long-running animated sitcom from Matt Groening that debuted in 1989. His timid owie owie whimper captures his classic pushover persona in just a few seconds. The line became a staple on meme soundboards and reaction compilations, where users collect short cartoon pain sounds. It endures because the voice is instantly recognizable to Simpsons fans and the delivery is too pathetic to sound truly hurt, making it perfect for lighthearted fail content.
