This clip is widely recognized from the Talking Ben character, which became a recurring meme online through app recordings, reposts and short-form edits. Ben’s blunt voice lines and odd laugh made the character easy to use in bait-and-switch jokes and reaction posts. The “ho ho ho” clip is still used because it is very short, easy to time and instantly readable even without context. It often appears alongside other quick reaction staples such as bruh in rapid meme compilations.
