Forrest Gump is the 1994 film starring Tom Hanks as the kind-hearted title character, and clips linked to the film have long circulated as reaction sounds on soundboards and in short-form video edits. This eeee vocal is shared less as a famous quote and more as a reusable reaction, which helps it fit jokes that have nothing to do with the original story. Its short length and instantly recognisable tone make it easy to reuse, so editors keep returning to it whenever they need a quick, exaggerated response to surprise or silliness.
