The clip features Fausto Silva, better known as Faustao, the longtime Brazilian television presenter famous for loud, energetic audience segments and game-show moments. Errou is Portuguese for wrong, and his exaggerated delivery turned a routine correction into a reusable reaction sound. Shared widely on Brazilian soundboards and social media, it became shorthand for instantly flagging a bad answer, especially in quiz, trivia and geography jokes. Its brevity, clear meaning and familiar voice keep it useful for Portuguese-speaking creators and for anyone making a quick wrong-answer gag.
About this sound
Faustao shouts Errou after a wrong answer about a country in Europe in this short Brazilian TV clip. Creators use it to call out mistakes in memes and videos.
This is a very short, punchy clip of Brazilian television presenter Faustao emphatically shouting Errou, the Portuguese word for wrong, stretching the final syllable for comic emphasis. His voice is loud, theatrical and instantly recognisable, rising sharply before the drawn-out ending lands like a buzzer. The moment comes from a quiz-style exchange about a country in Europe, so the correction feels playful rather than harsh. For a viewer, it works as an immediate verdict: the guess has failed, and everyone knows it. That clear, exaggerated delivery is why it cuts through edits, turning a small mistake into a funny, shareable reaction.
