Donald Duck is a Walt Disney cartoon character who first appeared in the 1934 short The Wise Little Hen and became famous for his short temper and distinctive, semi-intelligible voice, originally performed by Clarence Nash. Generations of viewers grew up hearing that raspy squawk in Disney shorts, films and television, so the voice alone instantly signals cartoon frustration. Online, short Donald Duck clips circulate widely as reaction sounds in memes, gaming videos and edits, where a few seconds of his ranting can replace a whole caption.
