The line comes from The Hangover, the 2009 comedy about a bachelor party in Las Vegas that goes badly wrong, and is associated with Ken Jeong, who plays the unpredictable Mr Chow. The film became a major box-office hit and a lasting source of quotable lines, with short clips circulating on video platforms and soundboards long after its release. This particular line survived because its dry, observational tone fits so many awkward moments online, from failed jokes to embarrassing clips, and creators still reach for it when they want a movie quote to do the judging for them.
À propos de ce son
Ken Jeong's line from The Hangover, 'It's funny because he's fat,' used as a dry reaction sound when a joke about someone's weight lands badly in a video.
This short movie quote captures a deadpan moment from The Hangover, delivered in Ken Jeong's sharp, matter-of-fact voice with a pause that makes the punchline land harder. The line is spoken flatly, almost like an observation rather than a joke, which gives it an uncomfortable, knowing edge. That contrast is what makes it work as a reaction sound: it sounds amused and slightly judgemental at the same time, without raising its voice or adding any music or effects. Used over a clip, it frames the moment as funny for the wrong reason, letting the listener feel the awkwardness while still laughing at it.
