The Moomins were created by Finnish author Tove Jansson, and Sniff has been part of that world since the early books as Moomintroll's timid, treasure-loving friend. This clip comes from the Norwegian-dubbed animation, where the series is known as Mummitrollet and Sniff's nervous personality is played up for comedy. Short voice lines like this travel well because the emotion needs no translation. Scandinavian editors and Moomin fans reuse it as a cute panic reaction, keeping the character's classic cowardice alive in memes, gaming clips and cartoon edits.
