Bomb is one of the core flock in Angry Birds, the hit mobile game released by Rovio in 2009, where his special ability is exploding like his name suggests. His hurt sounds were part of the game's expressive, dialogue free audio design, with each bird given distinct grunts to show personality. As Angry Birds clips, edits and memes spread across YouTube and social media in the 2010s, those short character noises became reusable reaction sounds, and Bomb's frustrated grunt still signals an angry, heavy hit.
