Asdfmovie is a long-running YouTube animated sketch series by TomSka, built around very short, surreal jokes delivered in a simple cartoon style. Lines from the series are widely clipped and reused online because they are instantly recognisable even out of context, and this robbery line is a good example: it needs no setup to be understood. It continues to appear in TikTok edits, gaming videos and prank compilations, where creators use its deadpan tone to frame an ordinary theft as a miniature heist.
About this sound
The deadpan cartoon voice announces 'This is a robbery' in the style of TomSka's Asdfmovie sketches, perfect for prank edits, heist jokes and meme videos.
This short clip captures a flat, matter-of-fact cartoon voice declaring a robbery, in the abrupt, deadpan humour that defines Asdfmovie. There is no shouting, no dramatic music and no build-up, just the line delivered as if it were completely ordinary, which is exactly what makes it funny. The voice sounds deliberately simple and cartoonish, with a quick, clipped delivery that lands instantly and leaves room for a visual punchline. Dropped over a scene of someone stealing snacks, grabbing a controller or walking off with a friend's phone, it turns an everyday moment into a mock heist and signals to viewers that the joke is intentionally silly rather than serious.
