Daleks first appeared in Doctor Who in 1963, created by writer Terry Nation as the Doctor's most enduring enemies, and their grating, electronic voices became instantly recognisable across decades of the British science fiction series. The creatures are known for their catchphrase Exterminate and for their obsession with Dalek supremacy, which gives a line about making a good Dalek its sinister edge. Shared through fan edits, reaction videos and soundboards, the clip survives because it works even without context, sounding both threatening and absurd.
