About this sound

Nicolas Sarkozy's 2008 Salon de l'Agriculture outburst telling a man to get lost. The 'casse-toi pauvre con' clip is used in French memes to dismiss someone.

This is the brief, heated exchange in which Nicolas Sarkozy, then President of France, loses his temper with a visitor who refuses to shake his hand and tells him not to touch him. Sarkozy's voice is sharp, raised and clipped as he fires back the insult in French, with the surrounding crowd noise and the bustle of the agricultural show audible behind him. The abruptness makes it land like a slap: formal presidential composure collapses in a few seconds into a blunt, personal put-down. Heard out of context, it feels startlingly rude and funny at once, which is why the line still cuts through edits and reaction videos.

Pro tip

Drop it on the cut right after someone is snubbed or told off, and let Sarkozy's raised voice be the punchline with no music underneath. Add subtitles for non-French viewers, but do not loop it, because the insult loses its shock on a second hearing.

How people use it

A creator dismisses a rude commenter in a reaction video.
An editor cuts to Sarkozy after a failed handshake attempt.
A gamer plays it after an opponent insults them in chat.
A TikToker uses it to reject an unwanted dating approach.

More information

The line comes from 23 February 2008, when Nicolas Sarkozy visited the Salon de l'Agriculture in Paris as President of France. After a visitor refused to shake his hand, Sarkozy replied with the blunt dismissal, and television cameras captured the exchange. The clip circulated on news programmes and online video, quickly becoming one of the most quoted moments of his presidency and a shorthand in France for losing patience in public. It endures because the contrast between the office and the language remains striking, and because the short phrase is instantly recognisable even without context.
