No confirmed origin exists for this upload, so its history is really the history of the raspberry itself: the Bronx cheer has mocked bad performances since the early 1900s, and the blowing-lips gag travelled from vaudeville into cartoons and meme culture. On soundboards the clip sits alongside other comedy staples like sad trombone and sitcom laugh, a quick way to brand any moment a flop. Its nineteen-second length makes it a favourite for stretching a joke across a slow-motion fail.
