This sound is commonly used online as a general cartoon-like cue for bad smells and gross reveals rather than a clip tied to one famous character or movie scene. Short stinky effects like this spread through meme edits, reaction videos and soundboard posts because they communicate the joke instantly without dialogue. It stays popular because it is easy to layer into visual gags, especially alongside exaggerated disgust reactions or toilet humor. Creators often pair it with a fart sound for an extra obvious punchline.
