About this sound

The high-pitched scream of Tinky Winky from Teletubbies, used in memes and funny edits for sudden shock, panic, or exaggerated surprise reactions.

The clip captures Tinky Winky, the purple Teletubby, letting out a long, high-pitched scream that rises quickly and wobbles with cartoonish panic. It sounds silly rather than frightening, with a stretched, almost squeaky tone that makes a dramatic moment feel absurd. At just over eight seconds, it gives editors enough time to let the reaction build before cutting away. Hearing it instantly signals that something has gone wrong in a funny, over-the-top way, turning a small fail or surprise into a much bigger joke.

Pro tip

Drop it as a character notices the problem, let it run over a slow zoom or freeze frame, then cut hard to the next joke. Avoid looping it or layering it over dialogue, because its squeaky pitch quickly drowns out speech.

How people use it

Reacting to a jump scare in a gaming video.
Highlighting a fail in a funny compilation edit.
Mocking an over-the-top panic moment in a skit.
Punching up a surprise reveal in a short video.

More information

Tinky Winky is the purple, bag-carrying character from Teletubbies, the British children's television series first broadcast in 1997. Long after the show ended, short clips of its characters were remixed online for their cheerful voices and exaggerated reactions, which contrast sharply with adult meme humour. This scream fits that trend perfectly, because it takes a familiar childhood figure and drops him into moments of panic, failure or shock. Spanish-speaking meme communities in particular have shared versions titled as his scream, keeping the clip alive in edits, reaction videos and soundboards.
