About this sound

Louis de Funès delivers the line ne vous excusez pas in this movie clip, used in memes and edits to brush off an apology with comic authority.

This four-second clip captures Louis de Funès at his most imperious, delivering the French phrase ne vous excusez pas in a brisk, scolding tone that sounds both dismissive and hilariously self-important. His voice rises sharply, then cuts off with clipped authority, as if the apology itself is an inconvenience he refuses to entertain. The delivery is pure de Funès: theatrical, impatient, and instantly recognisable even to listeners who do not speak French. Used over a failed excuse or an awkward apology, it lands as a comic shutdown, turning embarrassment into a punchline and giving the speaker the upper hand without saying anything else.

Pro tip

Drop it after someone offers a weak excuse in your edit, then cut to the offender's reaction. Keep volume above dialogue so scolding tone lands, but do not loop it, because joke depends on abrupt, dismissive ending.

How people use it

Reacting to a friend's half-hearted apology in a meme.
Ending a skit where an excuse falls completely flat.
Captioning a pet caught misbehaving on camera.
Replying to a teammate's late homework excuse online.
