Exterminate is the best-known catchphrase of the Daleks, the robotic enemies from the long-running British science-fiction series Doctor Who, while Torchwood is the show's adult-oriented spin-off set around a secret institute. The clipped, electronic delivery has made the word instantly recognisable far beyond the programmes themselves, and short clips of it have circulated widely as reaction sounds and meme audio. It remains popular because the single word carries threat, comedy and nostalgia at once, letting creators signal a villainous moment without needing any explanation.

Dalek voices shout exterminate in this Doctor Who and Torchwood sound effect, used for sci-fi memes, villain edits and dramatic reaction clips online.
This ten-second clip is dominated by a harsh, metallic robotic voice chanting the word Exterminate over and over, with the flattened vowels and staccato rhythm associated with the Daleks. The voice sounds processed and menacing, rising in intensity as the repetition continues, with little else competing for attention. Heard on its own, it instantly signals threat, comic villainy and science-fiction drama, which is why it lands so strongly even without any picture. It works as a punchline, a warning or a sudden interruption, turning an ordinary moment into something absurdly dramatic.
