Olaf is the comic snowman created by Disney for Frozen, first released in 2013, and he quickly became one of the film's most quotable characters. The Dutch word huilen means crying, which points to the clip's focus on his tearful, over-the-top reaction. Short character reactions like this travel well on meme pages and in video edits because they need no dialogue to be understood. Fans reuse Olaf's sobbing to underline disappointment, embarrassment, or a joke falling flat, keeping the Frozen character familiar to new audiences long after the films.
