In darts, a referee calls 'no score' when a dart fails to count, and Huw Ware is one of the professional darts officials whose voice is familiar from televised matches. The two-second clip strips that ruling down to its driest form, which is why editors reuse it far beyond darts. Online it has become a shorthand for any failed attempt, turning a sporting technicality into a meme-ready verdict for videos, streams and reaction edits.
About this sound
Huw Ware delivers a deadpan 'no score' darts call, perfect for missed shots, failed attempts and anticlimactic moments in videos and streams.
The clip is a short, dry announcement in Huw Ware's calm darts-commentary voice, with the two words delivered flatly and without any celebration or disappointment. There is no music, crowd noise or build-up, just the matter-of-fact verdict landing in under two seconds. That bluntness is the joke: it turns a miss, a failed trick or a plan falling apart into an official ruling. Played over a video, it makes the failure feel final, a little absurd and instantly recognisable to darts fans, while still landing for viewers who have never watched a match.
