Untitled Goose Game was released in 2019 by Australian indie studio House House, casting the player as a mischievous goose wreaking havoc in a quiet English village, with honking as one of its main ways to interact with villagers and objects. Clips of the honk spread quickly on YouTube, Twitch and TikTok, where creators reused it as a shorthand for playful chaos outside the game itself. It remains popular because the sound is short, instantly recognisable and funny without needing any context from the original game.
