The phrase was popularized by a Robot Chicken sketch parodying filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, known for twist endings in films like The Sixth Sense and Signs. In the sketch, Shyamalan reacts to mundane events by exclaiming the line in the same dramatic voice heard in this clip. The joke spread online as a reaction sound during the early meme soundboard era, and it remains a shorthand way to sarcastically call out a predictable reveal or to celebrate a genuine surprise ending in films, shows and games.

What a Twist is a short voice clip shouting the phrase in mock surprise, popular from the Robot Chicken M. Night Shyamalan parody, used for plot reveals.
A male voice delivers the line 'What a twist' with exaggerated, drawn-out enthusiasm, stretching the final word like a game show announcement. The delivery is loud, theatrical, and intentionally over the top rather than genuinely shocked. It lasts just over two seconds, long enough to register as a punchline but short enough to drop cleanly over a reveal. The effect on the viewer is instant comic undercutting, turning any surprising moment, however small or predictable, into a mock dramatic plot twist worthy of a thriller ending.
