About this sound

A short clip from The Lizzie Bennet Diaries episode 15 asking, are you fake texting. Fans use it to call out pretend phone use in reaction videos.

This three-second clip captures a quick, pointed question delivered in a conversational, slightly exasperated tone, as if someone has just caught another person pretending to be busy on their phone. The voice is clear and close to the microphone, with no music or background noise to distract from the line, so the accusation lands instantly. It works because fake texting is such a familiar social dodge: everyone recognises the awkward pause, the averted eyes and the sudden interest in a blank screen. Played over a reaction shot, it turns a small, relatable moment into a joke about avoidance, embarrassment or trying too hard to look occupied.

Pro tip

Drop the clip right on the cut to someone glancing down at their phone, then hold the reaction for a beat before cutting away. Pair it with a text overlay, but avoid music underneath, since the dry delivery is what makes the callout funny.

How people use it

Calling out a friend pretending to text during an awkward conversation.
Reacting to a character ignoring everyone while staring at their phone.
Captioning a meme about avoiding eye contact at a party.
Adding a punchline to a skit about fake busyness at work.

More information

The clip comes from episode 15 of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, the web series that retold Pride and Prejudice through Lizzie Bennet's video diary and her friends' on-camera conversations. In that format, small interpersonal moments carry much of the comedy, and a blunt question about pretending to text fits the show's chatty, confessional style. Saved as a standalone sound, it has circulated among fans and editors as a reaction clip for moments of social avoidance. Its appeal is simple: the situation is instantly recognisable, the line needs no setup, and it works in edits, memes and short videos without explanation.
