About this sound

This just-over-a-second clip has Andy Kaufman as Latka Gravas, the gentle foreign mechanic from Taxi, saying thank you very much in a slow, heavily accented, singsong voice, with each word spaced apart. It feels funny and slightly uneasy, because the gratitude sounds genuine yet oddly formal, as if the speaker is not quite sure how the phrase should land. Kaufman brought the character to Taxi, which began in 1978.

Pro tip

Save it for a favour that is far too small for such a formal thank you, because the gap between the tiny help and the grand delivery is what makes the reply funny.

Good to know

Place it as the final beat after the favour is shown, then follow it with Woody Woodpecker Laugh to keep the joke moving, or cut to You What when the other person looks confused by the thanks.

FAQ

Can I save the Andy Kaufman thank you clip as a ringtone?

Yes, the MP3 can be saved to your phone and chosen in your sound settings as a ringtone for calls, so the polite thanks plays whenever someone rings you.

What should I pair with the thank you very much clip in a reaction edit?

A short laugh or a confused reaction sound works well after the thanks, so the edit moves from the formal reply to the other person's surprise without losing the joke.

Is the thank you very much clip best for friends or for strangers online?

It works best with friends who already know the joke, because they will recognise the over-formal thanks, while strangers may simply take it as a sincere reply.
