The clip comes from Donald's Tire Trouble, a Donald Duck cartoon released on January 29, 1943, in which Donald battles a flat tire and an uncooperative car jack. Sound effects from these wartime Disney shorts were built from stretched rubber, wood and studio props, and later rips isolated single effects for editors to reuse. This stretch survived because it is not tied to dialogue, so it can stand in for tires, tubes, balloons or any cartoon elastic, and it still turns up in meme edits and fan animations.
