The clip belongs to the stonks meme tradition, in which an obviously bad financial move is presented as if it were clever. Here, the joke is turned around by answering in Italian, with per niente meaning not at all, so the sound works as a quick rejection rather than a celebration. Shared as a short reaction sound in memes and social videos, it is easy to recognise even for viewers who do not speak Italian, because stonks signals the joke. Its length helps it fit the end of a gag, where a longer explanation would spoil the timing.
