Place it near the end of an edit, just after the moment that almost succeeds, then follow it with Oh My God Wow for the punchline. Put sudden suspense before the attempt to build the near miss, and keep this clip as the closing comment.

This is a very short spoken clip, about 1.8 seconds long, in which a voice delivers the German line 'Das wäre aber nicht schlecht gewesen' in a Saxon dialect. The flat, understated delivery makes it feel dryly amused and faintly disappointed at the same time, like a shrug after a near miss. It comes from a Saxon German speaker, giving the familiar phrase a distinct regional colour.
