The clip comes from Belgian singer and TV personality Eddy Wally, whose distinctive way of saying “wow” became a meme reaction online. It spread through short edits, reposts, and soundboards because the delivery is instantly recognizable and funny without needing context. The sound stays popular in meme culture because it is extremely short, easy to place after a visual reveal, and carries a playful tone similar to a shocked sound while feeling more camp and celebratory.
