Ba dum tss, the rimshot after a bad joke, with a snare hit and cymbal crash. Creators use it to punctuate failed punchlines in comedy videos and memes.

This is the short rimshot universally used to mark a joke that did not land. It opens with a quick snare roll, then lands on a sharp snare hit followed by a bright cymbal crash, the classic ba dum tss rhythm comedians use on stage. The timing is deliberately anticlimactic, turning an awkward silence into a shared laugh by admitting the punchline failed. Played over a reaction shot or at the end of a sketch, it tells viewers not to take the joke seriously and invites them to laugh at the attempt itself, which is why it works just as well in short videos as in live comedy.

Suggerimento pro

Drop it immediately after the punchline, not before, and leave a half-beat of silence first so the failure lands. Pair it with a deadpan stare or a zoom-out, and avoid layering it over music or laughter, which buries the snare and cymbal timing.

Ulteriori informazioni

The rimshot comes from live comedy and vaudeville drumming, where a drummer accented a comedian's punchline with a snare and cymbal. As short comedy moved online, the ba dum tss became shorthand for a joke that falls flat, used in sketches, reaction videos and meme edits to signal the flop instantly. Like a buzzer for a wrong answer, it lets the audience in on the joke, and its brevity keeps it reusable across formats, from stage routines to short-form videos and streams.

Domande frequenti

What is the ba dum tss sound?

It is a quick drum rimshot made of a snare hit and a cymbal crash, traditionally played after a joke. In videos it signals that a punchline was deliberately bad or did not land.

Why do creators use it after bad jokes?

It turns an awkward failed punchline into the joke itself. The familiar timing tells viewers the flop was intentional, so they laugh at the attempt instead of sitting through silence.

How should I use this sound in a video?

Place it right after the punchline, after a brief pause, and keep it at full volume so the snare and cymbal are clear. It works best over a reaction shot or at the end of a short sketch.
