Karlsson is the rotund, propeller-powered character from Astrid Lindgren’s stories, made famous in Russia by the Soviet animated films about Malysh and Karlsson. The phrase “What are you yelling?” circulates as a Russian-language reaction meme, shared in chats and short videos to deflate someone who is overreacting. Like the broader scream meme tradition, its humor comes from an adult voice scolding unnecessary noise. With only a few seconds of dialogue, it remains a handy, instantly understood put-down for loud moments online.
About this sound
A Russian voice clip of Karlsson snapping “What are you yelling?” in an annoyed tone. Creators use it to mock loud arguments, shouting gamers and chaotic chats.
This is a short Russian voice line where Karlsson, the cheeky flying man from the classic Soviet cartoon, irritably asks why someone is shouting. His tone is gruff, impatient and slightly comedic, with a rising emphasis on the question that makes it sound like a scolding. The delivery is theatrical and instantly recognizable to viewers who grew up with the character. When dropped over a video, it lands like a deadpan parental interruption, cutting through noise with humor and making the yelling person look overdramatic by contrast.
