Plants vs Zombies was released by PopCap in 2009 and became known for its Peashooter plants firing peas across a lawn at waves of zombies. The pea splat became one of its most repeated combat sounds, heard hundreds of times in a single level. As gameplay clips and edits spread on YouTube and soundboards, fans isolated the tiny impact for reuse outside the game, much like other short gaming hits such as the Pop SFX. Its brevity and squelchy character keep it popular for comic timing.
About this sound
The pea splat sound effect from Plants vs Zombies, heard when a Peashooter shot hits a zombie. Gamers use it for funny hits and meme edits online.
This is the short, wet splat made when a pea fired by a Peashooter lands on a zombie in Plants vs Zombies. It lasts barely half a second, with a soft pop at the start and a juicy, squelchy tail that makes the hit feel squishy rather than violent. The sound is instantly recognisable to anyone who has defended a lawn in the game, because it repeats constantly during play. Dropped into a video, it turns an ordinary tap, toss or impact into a cartoonish plant-versus-zombie joke.
