The exact source of this specific punch clip is unclear, which is common for short impact sounds shared on soundboards and in meme edits. Sounds like this spread because they are instantly readable and easy to drop into almost any visual joke, fight scene or gameplay moment.

In online videos, this kind of sound often appears alongside other classic reaction effects such as the air horn or a rimshot-style sting.
