Babality is a joke finishing move from the Mortal Kombat fighting games, featured in Mortal Kombat Trilogy, where the winner turns the loser into a baby instead of delivering a fatality. It became a favourite among arcade players because it mocked the series reputation for gore with a harmless, cartoonish ending, and clips of it circulated as players shared hidden moves and compilations. It is still used today because that sudden switch from violence to cuteness works perfectly as a short meme sound for edits, streams and reaction videos.
