Cartoon running sounds are a long-running staple of slapstick animation and comedy editing rather than one single famous quote or character clip. They became especially common online in meme videos, short skits, and reaction edits because they instantly communicate frantic movement in just a second or two. Creators still use them because the effect is readable even without context: the audience immediately understands that someone is fleeing, rushing, or making a ridiculous over-the-top exit.
