Big Smoke is a character from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, the 2004 open-world game from Rockstar Games, where his deep voice and larger-than-life personality made him a fan favourite. Clips of his exaggerated reactions later spread through YouTube edits, TikTok videos and meme soundboards, where this long ooh became shorthand for stunned disbelief. It endures because it is instantly recognisable even to viewers who have never played the game, and because a single vocal reaction can carry a joke across gaming, reaction and comedy content without any dialogue.

Big Smoke's drawn-out ooh from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, used in memes and edits to react to something shocking, impressive or unexpectedly funny.
This is Big Smoke letting out a long, rising ooh that stretches for several seconds, starting low and swelling into a surprised, almost awestruck groan. The voice is deep and gravelly, instantly recognisable to anyone who played Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, and the drawn-out delivery makes it feel exaggerated rather than serious. Hearing it over a reveal, a plot twist or an absurd moment lands as pure comic disbelief, as if the character cannot quite believe what he is seeing. It works because the sound itself does the reacting, turning a simple clip into a punchline without needing any extra explanation.
