The clip comes from a Lego City advertisement for the rescue helicopter set, part of a series of Lego City ads that later promoted Lego City Undercover. The full advert begins with the shouted hey before announcing that a man has fallen into the river in Lego City. In early 2020 the advert became a copypasta and remix meme online, with people reciting, editing and parodying the script. The opening shout survived on its own as a short soundboard clip for alerts and jokes.
About this sound
The Lego City Hey sound effect is the shouted call from the famous rescue helicopter advert, used for funny entrances, alerts and meme edits and videos.
This is a short, loud shout of the word hey delivered with urgent energy, taken from the famous Lego City rescue scene. A man falls into a river in Lego City and another character yells for a helicopter to save him, which turned the line into an instantly recognizable call for help. The voice is clear, panicked and slightly over the top, lasting just over a second. That urgency is what makes it funny out of context, because such a dramatic shout can be dropped onto any minor problem or sudden entrance.
