This bouncing effect was created by sound designer Jimmy MacDonald for the Goofy cartoon Victory Vehicles, released in 1943, where it helped sell Goofy's clumsy, spring-loaded movement. It later entered the Hollywood Edge sound library as a boing-bounce effect, which is how editors and meme makers rediscovered it outside its original cartoon. Because the boing is instantly recognisable as cartoon physics, it still works today in short videos, edits, and soundboards whenever a creator wants a quick, silly bounce without any spoken joke.
