Ezio Greggio is an Italian television presenter, comedian and actor best known as the long running host of the satirical show Striscia la Notizia, which he has fronted since its launch in 1988. His exaggerated delivery and repeated catchphrases became a staple of Italian popular television, and short clips of his voice later circulated online as reaction sounds. Upapapa survives in that form, shared on soundboards and in chat edits because a single familiar shout can signal joking disbelief without needing any context or explanation from the original broadcast.
About this sound
Ezio Greggio shouting his playful Upapapa catchphrase in a classic TV voice clip. People use it as a funny reaction sound for silly or surprising moments.
This short clip captures Italian presenter Ezio Greggio delivering his nonsense catchphrase Upapapa with full comic energy. The voice jumps in loud and cheerful, stretching the syllables in a rhythmic, almost musical chant that feels instantly recognisable. It is not a full line of dialogue, more a burst of personality that turns a normal moment into a joke. Viewers hear it as pure variety show humour, exaggerated and warm rather than mean, which makes the sound easy to drop into edits when a reaction needs to feel absurd, celebratory, and slightly over the top.
