About this sound
A short clip of Silvio Berlusconi joking with supporters in Italian that he must leave to visit prostitutes, used for risqué political reactions online.
This three-second voice clip captures Silvio Berlusconi speaking informally to a group of supporters. In Italian, he says he has to say goodbye because he needs to “andare a puttane,” a vulgar phrase meaning to go visit prostitutes. The delivery is casual and joking, so the abrupt punchline lands as a mix of political gaffe, bawdy humor, and surprise. Editors use the recording to cap scenes about making an outrageous excuse, leaving suddenly, or saying the quiet part aloud, especially when a knowingly inappropriate reaction is the point.
