The line comes from Woody Woodpecker, the long-running cartoon woodpecker, in the episode Teacher's Pet from The New Woody Woodpecker Show, where a tired Woody wakes to find something unexpected happening around him. Short reaction clips from classic cartoons have become popular on soundboards because they are instantly recognisable even without the picture, and this one is often shared alongside the Woody Woodpecker Laugh for sleepy, confused or caught-out moments in edits and memes.
About this sound
Woody Woodpecker yawns, then asks buddy what are you doing in the Teacher's Pet episode of the cartoon series, a drowsy reaction sound for confused moments.
This short clip opens with Woody Woodpecker letting out a long, sleepy yawn before he turns to someone nearby and asks, in a puzzled, half-awake voice, what they are doing. The yawn stretches the moment out, making the question sound less angry than genuinely baffled, as if Woody has just woken up to something strange happening right in front of him. That mix of tiredness and confusion gives the sound a gentle, comic timing that works well when a video needs a soft reaction rather than a loud outburst, letting the audience share Woody's bewildered pause before the joke lands.
