This sound is associated with Scooby-Doo: Night of 100 Frights, a 2002 video game that used stock-style TV laughter for comedic moments. Online, short laugh track clips like this spread because they instantly signal sarcasm without needing context. Creators keep using them in reaction edits, gaming videos, and meme compilations because the sound is recognizable, very short, and easy to place right after a bad joke or uncomfortable silence.
