Nikocado Avocado, real name Nicholas Perry, built a huge YouTube following in the late 2010s with extreme mukbang videos that often ended in emotional outbursts and arguments on camera. Clips of his crying were reposted across YouTube, TikTok and meme pages, detached from the original food videos and reused as a standalone reaction. It now sits alongside other exaggerated reaction sounds like the emotional damage clip, used whenever a creator wants instant, theatrical sadness that everyone recognises as a joke rather than real distress.
