LMFAO has long been internet shorthand for laughing hard, and as a sound it works in exactly that spirit, a quick audible version of the acronym people type in comments and chats. It spread through meme edits, reaction videos and soundboard clips, where a single second of laughter could replace a caption or explain a reaction without words. Its brevity keeps it useful for short-form video, where creators need an instant emotional cue before the next cut, and its familiar, exaggerated tone still reads clearly even to viewers hearing it for the first time.
