This sound is commonly shared online as a short gong sting rather than as a clip tied to one specific character or scene. It appears in meme edits, comedy videos and quick reaction posts as an audio cue for sudden importance, suspense or a sarcastic reveal. Its staying power comes from how recognizable the instrument is: one strike instantly changes the tone of a cut. It fills a similar role to a buzzer in fail edits, but with a more dramatic and theatrical feel.
