About this sound

A parody of Sans's “bad time” warning from Undertale, altered to sound like “bad Tom.” Creators use it before ominous, awkward, or mock-serious moments.

This voice clip riffs on Sans’s famous warning about having a “bad time” in Undertale, changing the final word into “Tom.” The result sounds like a familiar game quote taking an unexpected, absurd turn. Its deliberate word swap gives the line a playful quality while preserving the threatening setup associated with Sans. Viewers who recognize the original can anticipate “time,” making the altered ending land as a quick surprise. The clip works especially well when a person named Tom makes a mistake, faces a challenge, or walks into an obviously troublesome situation.

Pro tip

Place the clip just before Tom encounters a difficult task or obvious consequence. Pair it with a slow zoom on his reaction, then cut immediately after “Tom” lands; avoid background dialogue that could obscure the altered final word.
