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 internet meme from the early 2020s and is now usually referred to by its onomatopoeia, "Boowomp".
