The E meme grew around YouTuber Markiplier in 2018, pairing his face with Lord Farquaad from Shrek and a single spoken letter. It spread through Reddit, YouTube and other meme edits built on surreal, out of context humor rather than a traditional joke. The clip version isolates that deep E vocal, so creators can reuse it without the image. It remains popular because it is instantly recognizable, fits almost any awkward moment, and signals ironic humor in under two seconds.

Markiplier saying a deep, distorted letter E, a short meme sound effect used for random humor, awkward pauses and surreal video edits on TikTok and YouTube.
This clip is just Markiplier saying the letter E in a low, stretched and heavily distorted voice. The sound is brief, deep and oddly resonant, with the vowel held long enough to feel both deadpan and ridiculous. There is no setup or punchline, which is exactly why it works. Dropped into a normal moment it creates instant absurdity, as if something profound was said when nothing actually happened. Viewers recognize it immediately and expect a joke, making even a still image or a blank stare feel funnier because of the contrast.
