The clip comes from the French catchphrase meaning these are not my glasses, they are my nostrils, a line long shared as a joke about a wildly wrong identification. Its humor relies on the confident tone rather than any visual context, which helped it travel easily as a short audio meme. French speaking users repost it on soundboards and in edits, often adding the translated line as a caption, and it remains popular because the setup is instantly understood even by listeners who only catch the final word.
About this sound
French meme clip of Michel Leeb saying these are not my glasses, they are my nostrils, used for absurd mistaken identity jokes and reaction edits.
A man delivers the line in French with exaggerated confusion, insisting that what looks like his glasses are actually his nostrils. The delivery is deadpan at first, then increasingly emphatic, turning a simple visual mix up into pure nonsense. That absurd contrast is what makes listeners laugh, because the voice treats an impossible explanation as completely obvious. It works best as a sudden punchline, landing after a close up or a mistaken identity moment and leaving the scene feeling deliberately ridiculous and surreal for a few seconds afterward.
