Ness is the young protagonist of EarthBound, released for the Super Nintendo in 1994 as Mother 2 in Japan, and later became widely recognised through the Super Smash Bros series. His short okay line became associated with his taunt and text prompts in the games, making it easy to detach from its source and reuse as a reaction sound. Short game voice clips like this spread through soundboards and meme edits because they are instantly recognisable, easy to loop, and work as a complete joke in under two seconds.
