This sound is widely recognised as a Stewie Griffin line from Family Guy, the long-running animated television series created by Seth MacFarlane. Online, the clipped 'Say whaaaat?' spread as a reaction audio in short memes, reposted clips and caption videos because the delivery is instantly readable even without context. It remains popular because Stewie's voice is so distinctive and the line neatly expresses disbelief, curiosity and comic exaggeration in one quick beat. Creators often use it in the same reaction-sound space as Anime Wow.
