Short distress and screaming clips labeled simply as torture have circulated on soundboards as generic reaction audio, shared without a clear credited source. The plain title is part of why it travels well, since creators can apply it to almost any scene of exaggerated pain or misery. Online it is used less for horror and more for meme edits, gaming moments, and reaction videos where suffering is played for laughs. Its brevity and intensity keep it popular as an instant, recognizable punchline.
