Garnold is one of the characters in Sprunki, the fan-made horror take on the music-mixing game Incredibox. In horror mode each character gets a distorted redesign and a jumpscare, and Garnold's has become a favourite for its harsh, robotic edge. Clips of the scare spread through gameplay videos and meme edits, then onto soundboards where creators grab it for pranks. It stays popular because the sound is instantly recognisable to Sprunki fans and reliably startles viewers who do not see it coming.
