About this sound

A short Tagesschau-style bulletin clip with the German line Das sind die ersten News, used as a funny intro for parody reports and meme videos.

This 16-second clip opens like a television news bulletin, with a formal German announcement introducing the first news items of the day. The delivery is straight and authoritative, in the measured tone associated with Tagesschau, which makes the familiar broadcast style instantly recognisable even to viewers who do not speak German. Because the wording is so official, dropping it over an ordinary or absurd clip creates an immediate contrast: a mundane moment suddenly feels important, urgent and newsworthy. That contrast is the joke, and it works best when the visuals stay deadpan while the announcement treats them with complete seriousness.

Pro tip

Place it at the very start of the edit, before any music or punchline, and cut straight to your mundane scene on the word News so the bulletin framing lands first. Keep the announcement clean and unlayered, and avoid adding another news jingle underneath it.

How people use it

Opening a fake news report about everyday life.
Introducing a friend's dramatic but trivial announcement.
Parodying a serious broadcast in a comedy sketch.
Announcing a mundane update as breaking news.

More information

Tagesschau is Germany's long-running flagship television news programme, known for its formal presenters and restrained bulletin style, and that familiarity is what gives this short German announcement its comic power online. Shared as a meme sound, the clip is reused by creators who want an instantly recognisable news opening without recording their own voiceover. Its appeal is not tied to a single viral video, but to the format itself: a sober news frame makes any small, silly or everyday subject feel like a headline, so the sound keeps working across new edits and languages.
