About
She-Hulk Clapping is a scene from the 2022 Marvel superhero series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law in which the character Jennifer Walters / She-Hulk (played by Tatiana Maslany) claps forcefully, emitting thunderous booms. In late August 2022, the scene gained virality as an exploitable meme format as users paired it with the 21st Century Humor sound effects such as the Taco Bell Bong and the Vine Boom.
Origin
