About this sound

Short Kaamelott voice clip saying deux trois poils de cul, the French expression for just barely. Used as a reaction for near misses and close calls.

This is a very short spoken clip from Kaamelott, built around the crude French expression deux trois poils de cul près, meaning within a hair's breadth. Delivered in a flat, matter of fact tone in under a second, it lands like a deadpan measurement rather than an insult. The humour comes from the contrast between the epic medieval setting and such a low, everyday way of saying something almost happened. Dropped after a scene, it instantly turns a near success or near disaster into a joke about how ridiculously close it was.

Pro tip

Place it right on the cut after a throw, jump or guess almost lands, and let the clip finish before any music returns. Keep the original scene audio low underneath so the deadpan delivery reads clearly, and do not stretch or loop it.

How people use it

Reacting to a game shot that misses by inches
Captioning a quiz answer that was almost correct
Punctuating a failed jump in a platformer clip
Joking about a deadline met at the last second

More information

Kaamelott is a French comedy series created by Alexandre Astier, broadcast on M6 from 2005 to 2009, which retells the Arthurian legend with anachronistic, everyday dialogue. Its short episodes produced hundreds of quotable lines that fans later cut into reaction clips and shared on forums and video platforms. This expression survived because it is instantly understandable even out of context and fits any close call. Fans still use Kaamelott quotes in gaming and chat culture in France, where the series remains a major source of meme sounds.
