Fortnite, released by Epic Games in 2017, built a huge library of emotes, taunts and expressive character sounds that players quickly ripped for memes and soundboards. Laughter clips from the game spread through TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Discord because they are short, clear and work without context. This laugh became a go-to gaming reaction alongside other game sounds like the roblox oof, used whenever a creator wants an instant, playful mock instead of adding commentary.
