The sound is based on the Alex Jones "they're turning the frogs gay" rant, a line that became a widely shared internet meme in the late 2010s. Short remixes and reposts spread across YouTube, TikTok and meme pages because the delivery is so intense and instantly recognizable. The clip stuck around as a reaction sound for moments that feel needlessly dramatic, paranoid or hilariously overcommitted. It often appears alongside other exaggerated reaction audio such as bruh or a buzzer for even sharper punchlines.
