The Rabbids first appeared in Rayman Raving Rabbids, released by Ubisoft in 2006, as chaotic rabbit-like creatures known for their nonsense shouting and slapstick behaviour. Their drawn-out Bwaaaaaah quickly became their trademark sound, repeated across sequels, party games and the later Rabbids Invasion television series. Clips of the scream spread online as a reaction sound because it needs no translation and instantly reads as manic excitement or panic. It remains popular in gaming edits and short-form videos for that same instant, recognisable burst of cartoon chaos.
