The line comes from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the 2025 role-playing game by French studio Sandfall Interactive, where Gustave is the lead character at the start of the story. A brief shouted exchange involving a password became a standout moment for players because the French delivery is so forceful compared with the short length of the clip. It spread through gameplay clips and soundboards as a standalone reaction, detached from the scene itself, and remains popular with fans who quote the game's French lines and use the shout for comedic exits.
About this sound
A French voice line from Clair Obscur Expedition 33 where Gustave shouts dégage de là, used as a meme sound for telling someone to move or leave.
This is a short, shouted French line delivered with urgent, slightly panicked energy. Gustave yells dégage de là, which means get out of there or move away, in a sharp burst that peaks quickly and then cuts off. The delivery sounds like a warning shouted across a room, half command and half password challenge, which makes it feel both serious and absurd out of context. Listeners do not need to speak French to get the meaning from the tone alone, and that mix of intensity and confusion is what makes the clip land as a joke.
