Frank is the lead sausage character from the 2016 animated comedy Sausage Party, and fan creators on GoAnimate, later rebranded as Vyond, rebuilt familiar movie characters in that simple animation style for parody videos. Crying clips in that style spread through YouTube and soundboards because the platform made character acting and stock vocal reactions easy to reuse. This wailing version became a shorthand for fake emotional damage, disappointment and dramatic sadness in grounded videos, compilations and meme edits, where an overlong cry turns a minor setback into the joke itself.
