Harald Glööckler is a German fashion designer and television personality known for his flamboyant, theatrical public persona, which makes even a single word from him sound dramatic. Short clips of his voice circulate on soundboards and in meme edits in German speaking online spaces, where Mann works as a universal sigh of annoyance. The clip has stayed useful because it needs no setup or translation, a drawn out Mann instantly signals that something ridiculous, frustrating or unbelievable has just happened in the video.
