About the Sanctuary Guardian (WHAT) sound

Something absurd is said, the frame freezes, and this brass blast arrives to confirm that everyone present is losing their mind. The sting comes from the Sanctuary Guardian boss theme in EarthBound, a 1994 SNES game whose soundtrack has aged far better than most, and meme culture repurposed it as the definitive audio for pure WHAT. Maximum alarm applied to minimum provocation. No ratio is funnier. Two of the most recognisable seconds in meme editing, and a decent argument for going back and playing the game properly.

OriginFrom Earthbound's Sanctuary Guardian boss theme, meme-ified for shocked captions.
