If you only need the sound and want an MP3, Myinstants is the quickest. ClipKaboom doesn't offer MP3 downloads: every clip is an MP4 with its original audio, which video editors import directly.
If you want reaction video clips, Vlipsy and ClipKaboom overlap most. Both are free at 480p with a watermark; ClipKaboom's watermark is visual only, so it never shows when you use just the audio.
If you remember a line but not where it's from, Yarn is built for that. ClipKaboom searches quotes too, but its library is meme sounds and reactions rather than every movie and show.
Start with free meme sound effects by type or the vine boom sound effect.
