Akrobeto rose to wider internet fame through his UTV programme Real News, where his serious delivery of English headlines collapses into laughter, and clips were reposted widely on YouTube, TikTok and WhatsApp from the late 2010s onward. Short extracts of his laugh began circulating as a standalone meme sound for reactions, separate from the full news segments. Its popularity comes from how recognisable the voice is in under two seconds, making it easy to drop into edits even for viewers who have never seen the original show.
