Goofy first appeared in Disney cartoons in 1932 and became known for clumsy, good natured mishaps and a distinctive wavering scream often called the Goofy Holler. Short vocal clips like this yelp were later ripped from cartoons and shared online as isolated reaction sounds. Editors began dropping the cry over pratfalls, sports bloopers and gaming fails because audiences recognised the character instantly. Its continued use comes from that recognition and from its brevity, which fits short form video without needing any setup or explanation.
