About this sound

Maccio Capatonda says goodnight and asks how to sleep in this Italian comedy clip from The Jackal, perfect for ending videos or replying to late-night chats.

Maccio Capatonda delivers the line in a calm, slightly bewildered tone, as if he has just been left alone and is genuinely wondering how anyone is supposed to fall asleep in that moment. The phrase 'Buonanotte, come si dorme?' lands softly rather than loudly, with a deadpan Italian delivery that makes the confusion feel both sincere and absurd. Listeners hear a quiet, conversational voice rather than a shout or a laugh track, which is why it works so well as a gentle punchline. It turns an ordinary goodnight into a small, relatable joke about not being able to sleep.

Pro tip

Drop it at the very end of a clip after everyone else has left, with a beat of silence before he speaks. Pair it with a slow zoom on an empty sofa, and avoid adding music underneath, since the quiet deadpan delivery sells the joke.

How people use it

Ending a vlog after friends leave for the night.
Replying to a friend who stays up too late.
Closing a stream when the chat says goodnight.
Captioning a video of someone alone on a sofa.
