The clip comes from Tobuscus, the YouTube channel of Toby Turner, who built a following on song parodies and literal trailers in the early 2010s. It plays on Ylvis and their 2013 viral hit What Does The Fox Say, which listed animal noises before reaching the mysterious fox. Swapping the fox for a fax let Tobuscus replace melodic calls with modem screeches, a gag shared widely as a soundboard clip and short meme sound among fans of that era of YouTube comedy.

Tobuscus parody clip asking what does the fax say, with old fax machine beeps and dial up noises used for random comedy and meme edits online.
This short Tobuscus clip riffs on the viral fox song by asking what a fax machine would say instead. A playful sung question leads into a burst of screeching dial tones, beeps, whirs and paper feed chatter that imitates an old office fax connecting. The joke lands because the outdated machine noises are treated like an animal call, turning a mundane sound into something strangely musical. It feels deliberately silly and nostalgic, perfect for cutting into a scene when technology misbehaves or a character is waiting on an ancient printer.
