Anybody else remember the 90s TV gag about souffles? (hexbear.net)

The set up is that somebody is making one of these things and they were so delicate that any noise above a whisper could deflate them, ruining them. Then the punchline is when someone or something makes a loud noise and the souffle collapses as predicted.

It feels like such a relic these days. They don't do the gag anymore and I wonder what that said about pop culture at the time.

Has that joke come up again in recent years or am I that detached from TV?

What are some other jokes that seemingly vanished?

The Big Bang Theory started in 2007. I can't think of a more recent one but then again i don't watch much.
