Untitled Goose Game was released in 2019 by Australian studio House House, casting players as a horrible goose let loose on an English village to steal, chase and annoy its residents. The honk is the goose's main tool, used to lure and startle characters. Clips of the gameplay spread quickly after launch, and the isolated honk became a standalone meme sound for chaotic interruptions. Its brevity and instant recognition keep it popular in edits, streams and soundboards long after the game's release.
