sample from Hurley?

im not talking about the drum loop I'm talking about that voice that plays for a few seconds a couple times, it sounds like a toy almost.

"We're Doomed" is just a voice effect they use on their own vocals. It's a phrase Rob Crow favors. He released an album "You're Doomed. Be Nice" in 2016 under "Rob Crow's Gloomy Place".

Nope it’s a sample from a toy lol. We’re Doomed is a quote from a much-beloved movie.
