Little is documented about the original upload behind the WTF Daven clip, beyond its circulation as a YouTube reaction sound under that name. It spread in the same way as many short meme reactions, through soundboards, reuploads and edits where a single confused line could be reused out of context. Creators pair it with a bruh moment or an absurd reveal, letting the disbelief do the work without extra explanation. Its continued use comes from that simplicity, as the phrase instantly signals that something strange has just happened online today.
