Mutley first appeared in Hanna-Barbera's Wacky Races in 1968 as the snickering sidekick of villain Dick Dastardly, later returning in Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines. His wheezing laugh became his defining trait, heard whenever a scheme backfired. The clip circulates widely in Brazil, where 'rsrs' is shorthand for laughter online, giving this version its name. Shared as a quick reaction audio on messaging apps and meme edits, it has outlived the original cartoon and remains shorthand for sneaky amusement at a failed plan.
