The Rabbids first appeared in Rayman Raving Rabbids, released by Ubisoft in 2006 as a spin-off from the Rayman platform games. The white rabbit-like creatures became known for their manic screams, often written as Bwaaah, and for slapstick mini-games built around physical comedy. Their popularity led to a separate Rabbids franchise across games, TV and online clips. Short bursts of their yelling have since circulated as reaction audio, reused whenever a scene needs instant cartoon panic without any dialogue.
