Sound Ideas, BORK, CARTOON - LOW BORK

This sound effect can be found on the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas.

Best known for being played over characters being dumbfounded and angry (among other emotions) in SpongeBob SquarePants; it has become popular as a meme from the early 2020s and is now usually referred to by its onomatopoeia, "Boowomp".
