The Elites, also known as Sangheili, are the tall alien warriors of the Covenant in the Halo video game series, which began with Halo: Combat Evolved in 2001. Their guttural speech and repeated wort wort wort line became one of the most recognisable audio signatures in the series, quoted by players long after the early games. Compilations like this one spread through gaming videos, reaction edits and soundboards, where the laugh and chant work as shorthand for a Halo enemy. That instant recognition keeps the clip popular with fans and meme creators today.
