Moyai refers to the moai stone head image and emoji that became a recurring internet joke across meme pages, short edits and chat culture. The exact audio source is often left unstated in reposts, but the clip spread widely as part of surreal and deadpan meme editing. It is still used because the sound instantly signals a stone-faced, absurd reaction with almost no setup. In many edits it fills the same punchline role as vine boom, but with a drier and weirder feel.
