This sound is taken from Markiplier, a long-running YouTube creator known for gaming videos, horror playthroughs and expressive commentary.

Pro Tip for Usage

Place this right after the exact moment a clip turns confusing, like a bug, bad decision or abrupt reveal. Keep a tiny pause before the line, and avoid stacking another spoken reaction over it or the joke gets muddy.
