With no clear single origin, this short clip belongs to the broad family of everyday object sounds shared on soundboards, where a familiar household noise becomes a reusable joke. Rubber band snaps have long been used in comedy and animation to suggest a flick, a sting, or a sudden snap back to reality, and the one-second length makes this version especially suited to short-form video. It works because listeners recognise the sound instantly, even without seeing the band itself.
