This sound comes from South Park, the long-running animated TV series that began in 1997, and features Eric Cartman, one of the show's most recognizable characters. Cartman's over-the-top crying became popular in meme culture because his voice is instantly identifiable and naturally comedic. The clip is still widely used in short edits, gaming reactions, and sarcastic posts whenever someone wants to exaggerate disappointment, self-pity, or childish frustration without needing any extra context.
