About this sound

In Star Wars Andor season 2, Major Partagaz tells Supervisor Heert to calibrate his enthusiasm, a clip fans use for overeager replies and workplace jokes.

The clip captures Major Partagaz, the composed Imperial Security Bureau chief in Andor, calmly telling Supervisor Heert to calibrate his enthusiasm. Delivered in a low, measured, almost weary voice, the line lands as a polite but unmistakable order to tone it down, with none of the shouting usually associated with an Imperial superior. That restraint is the joke: the speaker sounds completely in control while the person being addressed is clearly too eager, too loud, or too pleased with himself. Listeners hear authority, dry humour, and a hint of menace, which makes the moment feel both funny and chilling, especially for viewers who know how ruthlessly the ISB operates.

Pro tip

Drop it right after someone gets visibly overexcited or celebrates too early, then cut to a deadpan reaction. Let the pause after enthusiasm land before the next line, and avoid laugh tracks or music that would soften Partagaz's cold delivery.

How people use it

Reacting to a friend who overcelebrates a small win.
Replying to an overly enthusiastic coworker in a group chat.
Mocking a teammate who brags before the game ends.
Captioning a pet sprinting wildly around the living room.

More information

The line comes from Star Wars: Andor season 2, episode 6, where Major Partagaz, an Imperial Security Bureau major, reins in Supervisor Heert during an ISB briefing. Fans clipped the exchange soon after the episode aired and shared it as a reaction sound for moments of excessive excitement, especially in Star Wars and workplace edits. Its appeal endures because it works without context: a calm authority figure telling someone to dial it back, much like the Imperial March signals Imperial power, but in words rather than music.
