The tolling bell is best known as the opening cue for WWE wrestler The Undertaker, whose dark, funeral-inspired entrance used slow bell strikes to announce his arrival in the ring. Clips of that entrance were later shared widely on YouTube, TikTok and meme pages, where editors cut the bells away from wrestling and placed them over everyday fails, dramatic reveals and ominous entrances. The sound remains popular because it is instantly recognisable, needs no dialogue, and turns an ordinary moment into a mock funeral for a person, plan or reputation.
