Uh Oh Stinky became a widely shared internet meme through a short video featuring a gorilla puppet voice bit centered on poop jokes. The clip spread heavily on YouTube, Discord and meme pages around 2019, where its silly delivery made it perfect for remix culture. People kept using it because the setup is immediate, the joke is easy to recognize and the sound lands fast in edits. It sits in the same broad family of deliberately dumb reaction audio as hehe boi ainsley harriott.
