The clip comes from a July 2021 exchange between President Joe Biden and reporters on the White House South Lawn, where his muffled reply was widely transcribed online as my butt's been wiped. The short video spread quickly on social media because the line seemed completely disconnected from the immigration question being asked, leading to endless replays, captions, and debates about what was actually said. That uncertainty helped it survive as a meme, reused whenever a public statement sounds absurd, misheard, or impossible to explain.
About this sound
Joe Biden saying my butt's been wiped in a brief press clip that became a viral meme sound for awkward, confused or out-of-context reaction moments.
This short clip captures President Joe Biden delivering the line my butt's been wiped in a flat, matter-of-fact tone during a brief exchange with reporters. The audio lasts just over a second, with the phrase landing abruptly and without clear context, which is exactly why it stands out. Listeners hear a familiar political voice saying something unexpectedly personal and odd, creating an instant sense of confusion and secondhand embarrassment. The humor comes from the contrast between the formal setting and the strange remark, making the sound feel surreal, awkward, and perfectly suited to moments that make no sense.
