This sound effect can be found on the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library, which was made by Sound Ideas. It was originally a Warner Bros. sound effect which perhaps debuted in the Merrie Melodies short "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips" (1944) and used in a few MGM shorts afterward. Additionally, it's often used in Cinemassacre's Angry Video Game Nerd as its trademark explosion sound (along with 03) for anything that explodes.
This explosion is mostly associated with the Angry Video Game Nerd.
