Noah Ritter was five when WNEP reporter Sofia Ojeda interviewed him at the Wayne County Fair in Pennsylvania in August 2014. The local news segment went viral on YouTube because he kept steering every answer back to apparently, a word he said he learned from his grandfather. National talk shows invited him on, turning a brief fair interview into a lasting meme. This short verdict survived because it captures that same earnest energy in one line, separate from the longer interview that made him famous.
About this sound
Short clip of Apparently Kid Noah Ritter saying apparently it was great during his viral 2014 fair interview, used for funny innocent reactions.
This is the bright, earnest voice of five year old Noah Ritter, caught mid interview and delivering his verdict with total confidence. He stretches apparently into his signature catchphrase before landing on it was great, in a high, cheerful, completely unfiltered tone. The clip lasts just over a second, but the contrast between the adult reporter setup and the child's dead serious summary makes it instantly funny. It works as a pure, wholesome reaction, the sound of someone discovering something on live television and deciding, on the spot, that they loved it.
