Slippy Toad is the frog pilot and mechanic of the Star Fox team in Nintendo's Star Fox series, where he flies alongside Fox McCloud and frequently calls for help when enemy fighters latch onto his Arwing. Because his high, anxious voice is instantly recognisable to players, short clips of him shouting for Fox have become a shorthand in gaming videos and reaction edits for needing rescue, and the repeated name makes it easy to drop over a moment of panic without any explanation.
