About

Ah! It's Coming Out! also known as "Ah! It's Coming Out" Kid Screaming or the It's Coming Out meme, refers to a viral TikTok sound of a kid crying and screaming "Ah! It's coming out!" The original video was a "Screaming In Bathroom" prank posted by YouTuber and TikToker Yoglo8 in which he was pretending that he needed to poop. The sound was remixed and turned into a Goofy Ahh sound that sped up and slowed down (similar to a Don Pollo sound) in late 2023, paired with a Fortnite gameplay video and Speaking Head emojis. The "It's Coming Out" TikTok sound gained usage as a photo slideshow audio manifesting in October 2023.
