Unlike a clip taken from a single film or show, this punch is a generic cartoon impact associated with the era of Adobe Flash web animations and games, when short, exaggerated sound effects carried most of the comedy. Creators on soundboards and in video edits have kept that style alive because it reads instantly, even on a phone speaker. It works as shorthand for a hit without needing realistic violence, which is why it still appears in memes, animations and short-form edits today.
