Plankton is the tiny villain from SpongeBob SquarePants, which premiered in 1999, and is voiced by Mr. Lawrence with a theatrical, scheming delivery that suits short meme clips. This drawn-out shout circulated on meme soundboards and in fan edits, where long Plankton screams are paired with slides, falls and dramatic reactions. Its length sets it apart from quick reaction sounds like the bruh effect, and editors keep reusing it because the escalating wail works even without the original scene for context.
