The Es Laugh clip was uploaded to a user generated soundboard under the bare title eslaugh and listed in the games section, with no credited speaker, show or game attached, so its exact origin remains undocumented. At just over three seconds it spread the way short reaction audio usually does, passed between meme edits, gaming montages and chat threads as a quick taunt. Its staying power comes from versatility, since a short wordless meme laugh fits almost any fail, in the same spirit as the wordless meme laugh behind Trololo.
