About this sound
A short John Mulaney clip where he dryly calls something not funny, used as a reaction for jokes that fall flat and awkward moments in edits.
This is a brief, deadpan vocal clip from comedian John Mulaney, lasting just over two seconds. Delivered in his familiar dry, slightly exasperated tone, the line lands as a blunt verdict rather than a punchline, with a pause that makes the dismissal feel even sharper. It works because it sounds like a real reaction, not a performed joke, so listeners instantly recognise the feeling of watching something try too hard and miss. Dropped into a video, it punctures the moment, turning an awkward attempt at humour into the joke itself.
