Psyduck is a long-running Pokémon character that appears across the franchise's games, anime and merchandise, which is why its cry is instantly familiar to many fans. Short clips of Pokémon voices and cries have circulated online for years in fan edits, reaction videos and soundboards. Psyduck stands out because the character's whole identity is tied to confusion and headaches, so the sound keeps getting reused as a quick audio shorthand for mental overload, cluelessness or a goofy anime reaction.
