With no widely documented original source, kick in the neuts circulates mainly as a short user-shared meme clip on soundboards and in short-form video edits, where its deliberately silly wording is part of the appeal. Creators reuse it because it is instantly recognisable as a joke about a painful hit without needing any setup or explanation, and its brevity makes it easy to loop, remix or drop into reaction compilations. That combination of absurd wording, quick timing and broad reuse has kept it in circulation as a lighthearted reaction sound for fails and pranks.
