The holy hand grenade comes from Worms, the turn-based artillery series by Team17 that began in 1995, where it became one of the most recognisable super weapons. It is a playful nod to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and its hallelujah chorus borrows the famous refrain from Handel's Messiah. Players loved saving it for a final, match-ending throw, and clips of that cue later spread through gaming videos and soundboards as a shorthand for divine, over-the-top destruction.

The Worms holy hand grenade sound with its angelic hallelujah choir before the explosion, used in gaming edits and meme videos for dramatic finishes.
This is the iconic holy hand grenade moment from the Worms series, where a small choir sings hallelujah in a solemn, church-like harmony right before a huge explosion. The joke is the contrast: the reverent singing sounds sacred and peaceful, then the grenade detonates with comically oversized damage. The choir rises cleanly, holds for a moment of suspense, and makes the blast feel even bigger. It instantly signals a ridiculous, overpowered finishing move and gets a laugh from anyone who knows the game.
