The clip is a variant of the cartoon bonk sound that became internet shorthand for the 'bonk, go to horny jail' meme, where a Doge character bonks someone for a mischievous or thirsty remark. That meme took off around 2020 on meme pages and soundboards, pairing the hollow bat-hit with images of Shiba Inus and captions about bad behavior. The exact uploader behind this 'tonic' variant is undocumented, but it follows the same pattern as other short meme hits like bruh and goofy ahh sounds that creators trade on meme soundboard pages for quick comedic punishment.

The Tonic Bonk is a short hollow cartoon hit sound effect popular in meme edits. Creators drop it to comically punish a dumb or cheeky moment in videos.
The Tonic Bonk is a short, punchy percussive hit built around the classic cartoon bonk, a hollow wooden knock like a bat tapping someone on the head. It lands with a springy, slightly pitched thud that reads instantly as playful punishment rather than real violence. At just over two seconds it usually includes the impact and a quick decay or tail, leaving room to cut straight back to the joke. The effect on viewers is a small jolt of slapstick: a wrong, horny or overconfident line gets swatted down, and the whole scene feels funnier because the punishment is silly instead of serious.
