Talking Ben comes from the Talking Tom and Friends mobile apps by Outfit7, where Ben is a grumpy old dog who answers phone calls with short replies and idle animations like reading a newspaper. The character became a major TikTok meme in 2022, when creators filmed themselves calling Ben late at night and editing his reactions into horror and comedy skits. The newspaper fold survived that wave because it is instantly recognisable without any dialogue, making it a quick shorthand for boredom, dismissal, and pretending not to listen in short-form videos.

The short newspaper fold sound from Talking Ben, a crisp paper rustle used in memes and edits when he reads the news or reacts to a question.
This is the short, dry rustle of Ben folding his newspaper in Talking Ben, a game where players call the dog and get a yes, no, or dismissive grunt in reply. The clip starts with a soft paper shuffle, then a sharper crease as the sheet is folded away, leaving a quiet pause that feels like Ben is ignoring you or waiting for you to speak. That pause is the joke: it makes a mundane action feel awkward, bored, and rude, which is why editors use it to punctuate an ignored question, a deadpan reaction, or a moment when a character pretends to be busy rather than answering.
