Angry Birds Epic is Rovio's turn-based role-playing spin-off in the Angry Birds series, in which the birds battle waves of pig enemies, including low-level minion pigs. The defeated minion sound comes from those battles, marking the moment a small pig enemy is knocked out. Fans later ripped short game sounds for edits, memes and soundboards, where brief cartoon effects are easy to reuse. It remains popular because Angry Birds is widely recognised, the clip is under two seconds long, and a tiny enemy defeat is a versatile joke for fails, losses and rivalries.
