The 'Wow, That's Awesome!' meme stems from a specific viral sound effect popularized on TikTok, characterized by an enthusiastic but frequently ironic male voice. While the audio is often used for genuine excitement, its most popular iteration involves pairing the sound with mundane or bizarrely specific scenarios, such as watching a niche documentary at 3 AM. The humor lies in the exaggerated delivery of the line compared to the often underwhelming visual it accompanies. It has become a staple for 'corecore' edits and ironic reaction videos, representing a specific brand of internet humor that celebrates (or mocks) the trivialities of daily life.
