About this sound

Short clip of the phrase on the company's dime, used as a quick punchline for work spending jokes, free perks, and expense account memes online.

This ultra-short clip centres on the phrase on the company's dime, delivered as a fast, throwaway punchline rather than a full line of dialogue. Its brevity is the joke, landing instantly and disappearing before the scene moves on. Viewers hear it as a cheeky justification for spending someone else's money, turning an ordinary purchase, lunch or upgrade into a smug, knowing moment that needs no extra explanation. It works best as a reaction sting layered over a visual gag at exactly the right beat.

Pro tip

Place it right on the cut where a receipt, company card or expensive order appears on screen. Keep the original audio underneath low, let this clip sit clean on top, and do not stretch or loop it, because the humour depends on its sudden hit.

How people use it

Drop it when a coworker orders the priciest lunch option.
Use it over footage of booking business class flights.
Add it when someone charges snacks to the office card.
Play it after a friend requests an unnecessary work upgrade.
