Peitsche is simply the German word for a whip, and this clip is a generic whip crack rather than a line or moment taken from a particular film, show or character. Short whip sounds have long been used in comedy, cartoons and slapstick to suggest a sudden hit without showing real violence, and the same idea carried over to short-form video and soundboards. Because the crack is instantly recognisable and lasts less than a second, creators keep reusing it as a quick, funny punctuation mark for scolding, punishment and surprise.
