The clip takes its name from the single Chinese character Peng, presented here in its pinyin spelling. No original film, game or show source is documented for this recording, so its life has been mainly on soundboards and in short-form edits. Creators reuse the same brief hit across unrelated videos, which is how such effects spread: one editor uses it for a fall or reveal, viewers recognise the timing, and others borrow it. Its lasting appeal is simplicity, since a single unmistakable hit fits almost any abrupt visual joke.
