This sneeze comes from The Riveter, a Donald Duck cartoon released in 1940, in which Billy Bletcher voiced Pete. The brief clip was later catalogued as a stock funny-man sneeze, which helped it circulate beyond the original short and into soundboard collections. Because the performance is so distinctive, with its raspy build and explosive finish, editors still reach for it when they need an instantly recognisable cartoon reaction. Its vintage Disney roots also give modern memes a nostalgic, hand-drawn feel that a clean studio recording cannot easily match.
