Rather than coming from one famous scene, this short scream has spread mainly as a reusable meme sound shared across short video platforms and soundboards. Creators attach it to moments of sudden panic because its exaggerated delivery is instantly recognisable even without context. Its under-two-second length makes it easy to drop into edits, reaction videos and gaming clips, and the simple repeated cry is easy to remember and imitate. That combination of brevity, clarity and comic panic has kept it circulating long after many similar reaction sounds have faded.
