Bass boosted and earrape edits became a staple of meme soundboards in the late 2010s, where normal reaction clips were re-uploaded louder and more distorted for comic shock value. This version takes a simple drawn-out call to the boys and pushes the low frequencies until it distorts, turning a casual shout into an absurd announcement. It is shared in the same rotation as other loud reaction staples like the bruh sound, and is still used because the distortion itself is the joke.
