Baby Hazel is the young main character of a long running series of children's games and cartoons aimed at preschool viewers, where everyday routines often end in tears when she is tired, hungry or disappointed. Her crying clips began circulating separately from the episodes as short reaction audio, shared on soundboards and in meme edits. Because the sobbing is clear, short and instantly recognisable, creators reuse it as a stand in for any overblown upset, and it remains popular for family friendly pranks, gaming montages and comedic dubs.
