The origin of this specific recording is not documented, but the guy yelling format became a staple of meme editing because a long, human scream needs no context to be understood. It circulated on soundboards and in short video edits in Russian and English speaking communities, where searchers look it up as a man screaming or yelling. Creators reuse it as a universal reaction for frustration and shock, pairing it with zoom ins, shaking screens and other exaggerated reaction sounds.
