Tsukkomi comes from Japanese manzai, a traditional double act where the boke says something foolish and the tsukkomi corrects him, often with a sharp slap from a paper fan. The format moved into anime, variety shows and online edits, where a single retort or hit became a reusable reaction sound. It sits alongside other popular anime reaction sounds such as Tuturu in soundboards and meme videos, kept alive because the joke needs no translation and the timing works in almost any language.
このサウンドについて
Tsukkomi is the sharp Japanese retort sound from anime and manzai comedy, used as a quick punchline reaction when someone says something absurd.
Tsukkomi is the fast, exasperated comeback at the heart of Japanese comedy, where the straight man snaps back at the fool with perfect timing. This clip captures that instant retort, a sharp vocal jab delivered with disbelief and a hint of a smack, as if calling out nonsense the second it is spoken. It lands like a verbal slapstick hit, instantly turning a silly line into a punchline. The energy is brief, loud and knowing, making the listener feel the correction before they even process the joke that caused it.
