31 Minutos is a Chilean children's television series that first aired in 2003, built around a puppet news programme hosted by Tulio Triviño and Juan Carlos Bodoque. Its parody of TV news made short stings and catchphrases easy to lift for memes, especially across Spanish-speaking social media. Extra, extra is the traditional cry of newspaper sellers announcing a special edition, and the show's exaggerated version became a reusable shorthand online for mock breaking news, dramatic announcements and ironic updates that do not deserve a headline.
About this sound
The breaking news sting from Chilean puppet show 31 Minutos, shouting extra extra extra to announce a sudden reveal, joke headline or urgent update.
This is the urgent breaking-news call from 31 Minutos, the Chilean puppet television series, with a voice rapidly shouting extra, extra, extra as if selling newspapers on the street. It is short, loud and deliberately over the top, lasting only a few seconds but instantly signalling that something important is about to be announced. The old-fashioned newsboy delivery turns even a minor update into a headline moment, which is why the clip lands as a comedic interruption rather than real news and makes viewers pause for the reveal that follows.
