About
Wow, That's Awesome is a catchphrase and sound effect that emerged from a TikTok trend in early 2023. After a video showing cows slipping on black ice with an AI-generated voice effect saying, "wow, that's awesome" was shared on TikTok, other users began using the sound effect to share the disturbing things they would watch and do as young children with internet access.
