The BFG is one of the most famous weapons in the Doom series, and its sound is strongly associated with massive damage and sci-fi firepower. Across different Doom games, the BFG 9000 became shorthand for the biggest possible attack, so clips labeled with this sound spread easily in gaming edits and meme videos. People still use it because even a very short BFG audio cue instantly signals overkill, power and classic FPS nostalgia to viewers who recognize Doom.
