Scout is one of the nine playable classes in Valve's Team Fortress 2, a team-based shooter first released in 2007, and his fast, brash Boston persona helped make his lines and sound effects widely recognisable. Bonk became a familiar part of that identity, partly through Bonk! Atomic Punch, the energy drink Scout can use in the game. As TF2 clips, animations and fan edits circulated online, the short impact sound was lifted into soundboards and meme videos, where it now works independently of the original gameplay as a quick comic hit.

The short bonk sound associated with Team Fortress 2's Scout, used for comic hits, failed plays and meme edits when a character takes a sudden knock on screen.
This clip is a fraction-of-a-second bonk, a hollow, springy thud that lands hard and disappears almost immediately. It has the exaggerated impact of a cartoon hit rather than a realistic punch, with a quick attack and no lingering echo, which makes it feel sudden and funny instead of violent. In edits, it works as an instant punctuation mark: a character walks into something, misses a jump, or gets caught out, and the bonk sells the mistake before the viewer has time to think about it.
