This sound is best understood as a generic crowd laughter effect rather than a clip with a clearly documented origin. On meme pages, short laughing audio like this spreads because it instantly signals that a moment should be read as funny, embarrassing or ironic. Creators use it much like a canned laugh track from comedy TV, but in faster online edits for status videos, joke posts and short-form reaction memes. Its usefulness comes from being simple, familiar and easy to drop into almost any comedic setup.
