The moment comes from Nostalgia Critic's review of the 2017 horror film IT, where Doug Walker's character leans into self-aware internet humour by demanding meme status. Lifted as a short standalone clip, it found a second life on soundboards and in meme edits, where its blunt, attention-seeking demand works without needing the full review for context. It endures because the joke is instantly recognisable to viewers who know the review style and still funny as a generic reaction to wanting to be noticed online.
About this sound
A clip from Nostalgia Critic's review of 2017's IT where he shouts for a meme, used as a reaction sound for forcing a joke or demanding attention in edits.
This is a short, loud excerpt from Nostalgia Critic's review of the 2017 film IT, built around his repeated demand to be turned into a meme. His voice rises in pitch and urgency as he pleads, almost shouts, and stretches the phrase out, giving the clip a frantic, self-aware energy that feels both desperate and funny. Because it is so direct and over-the-top, it lands instantly as a punchline, making the person using it seem eager for attention or determined to force a joke to work, even when everyone else has moved on.
