The clip comes from the French dub of Pokemon, specifically season 4 episode 47, Le Pokémon qui aimait les pommes, where Wobbuffet is known as Qulbutoke. In the French version the Pokemon announces its name in that distinctive voice, a tradition carried across the anime for its mascot-like companions. French-speaking fans later lifted the short cry onto soundboards and meme edits, where its recognisable pronunciation works even for viewers who do not follow the series closely. It endures mainly as nostalgic shorthand for the French dub and for Wobbuffet himself.
