Magikarp is a fish-like Pokémon from Nintendo's Pokémon series, famous in the games and anime for being almost useless in battle until it evolves into the powerful Gyarados. Its short cry comes from the games, where each Pokémon has a distinctive electronic call, and fans have clipped and shared Magikarp's in particular because it fits the creature's reputation. Online, the sound spread through Pokémon memes, gameplay clips and soundboards, where it now works as shorthand for weakness, disappointment or a joke character arriving.
关于此声音
The short, high-pitched cry of Magikarp from Pokémon, used in memes, edits and streams to joke about a weak or useless character suddenly appearing.
The clip is Magikarp's brief in-game cry, a thin, warbling electronic chirp that lasts well under a second and sounds more like a startled squeak than a roar. It has almost no attack or power behind it, which is exactly the joke: the sound is small, weak and slightly ridiculous. Played on its own, it instantly signals that something unimpressive has arrived, undercutting any dramatic build-up and making the viewer expect failure, flopping or a completely anticlimactic reveal in a video.
