In a lot of dubstep remixes I hear there is a clip of a girl screaming "OH MY GOSH!" I'm wondering why this is such a popular splice, what its origin is or why it is so prevalent in dubstep mixes.

The clip sounds like it's from a video I've seen on YouTube of a girl stacking and collapsing cups very rapidly. When she completes she starts celebrating by shouting "YES! OH MY GOSH!" over and over.

Did it just appear in one mix that's been copied and changed or is it also appearing in original works?

Seems like Skrillex just really liked it and it became something of a meme due to their song (and probably due to the original video). From an interview:

Who’s the voice behind the “YES! OH MY GOD!” sample used in Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites?

This girl on youtube who does this cup stacking thing. She filmed herself breaking her record and freaking out saying “OMG OMG OMG” a thousand times. One of the best videos on youtube for sure! It was the perfect sample before the drop. Her voice really pumps you up! Here’s the link

Actually it sounds exactly the same as Ryan Lee's character Carey in the 2011 J.J Abrams directed film "Super 8". When the boys break into the school and view footage of scientists studying the creature. Doctor Woodward is briefly captured by the creature and Carey exclaims "Oh my God!". The clue is the audio just before the "Oh my God!" which matches the film exactly, but is not in the cup stacking girl video. Skrillex sampled Super 8.
