The sound is linked to Patrick Star, the pink starfish from SpongeBob SquarePants, and it is published on soundboards under the Portuguese label Acorda Patrick, meaning wake up Patrick. That label explains its most common online life: short wake-up and morning edits, reaction videos and meme compilations that reuse the scream as a quick joke about being startled awake. Because the character and the exaggerated cry are widely recognised, the clip keeps circulating as a reusable reaction sound rather than tied to one specific scene.
