The clip comes from Brazilian Sunday television, linked to Domingão do Faustão and a video segment circulated around 2010. In Brazilian slang, an encosto is an unwelcome spirit or clingy presence, so the title frames the laugh as that figure coming back. Soundboard users picked it up because the short, recognisable cackle works without dialogue or translation, and it spread through meme edits and WhatsApp-style sharing where a quick villain cue lands instantly. It remains popular for comic returns rather than horror, especially in Portuguese-language humour.
