This sound is best understood as a general reaction and prank scream rather than a quote tied to one widely known source. Short, blown-out screaming clips have circulated for years across meme edits, gaming videos, prank compilations and chat app forwards because they create an instant spike of chaos in under a second. Its staying power comes from that speed: editors can drop it onto a reveal, fall or zoom cut and immediately change the tone from normal to absurd without needing any setup.
