Music People: Is there a term for this?

I hear this particular arrangement of notes pop up a fair amount in music. Is there a specific term or something dedicated to it, or is it just a common sound and that’s that?

Examples with timestamps, a few seconds of each should get the point across:

My first thought was syncopation, though the oom cha cha I believe is just a 3/4 beat typical of waltzes. Not that I’m a music person.

Sounds like a standard waltz to me. 3/4 time, usually in a lighter key and mid tempo for dancing.

Other than that no specific term.
