Chet Hanks, the son of Tom Hanks, first drew wide attention for speaking in Jamaican patois in videos around the 2020 Golden Globes, where he gave shoutouts using phrases like big up. The clips spread on Instagram and Twitter because the accent and confidence felt unexpected, and they were remixed into memes and reaction edits. He leaned into the persona in later social media posts, which kept the phrase associated with him. The short shoutout form made it easy to lift as a standalone sound for other videos.

Chet Hanks saying big up in his viral patois shoutout clip, used as a meme sound effect for greetings, hype intros and ironic shoutouts online.
This is a very short voice clip of Chet Hanks delivering his catchphrase-style shoutout, saying big up in an exaggerated Jamaican patois accent. The delivery is loud, confident and deliberately over the top, lasting just over a second with no music or background sound behind the voice. That contrast between the serious, celebratory tone and the brevity of the clip is what makes it funny as a reaction. It lands like an instant greeting or endorsement, and editors often drop it in without warning so the sudden shout feels absurd against whatever is happening on screen.
