Hitting sounds like this have become a staple of short-form editing because a single impact can sell a joke without dialogue or explanation. Numbered variations are common on user-generated soundboards, where creators upload slightly different takes of the same basic thud for others to reuse in memes, gaming clips and reaction videos. This version is especially suited to quick cuts, since its brief length keeps the pace tight and lets the visual do the work. Its continued use comes from that simplicity: one clean hit, instantly understood, that works across almost any funny or dramatic moment.
