The clip comes from the American version of The Office, the NBC workplace sitcom that ran from 2005 to 2013. Oscar Martinez, played by Oscar Nuñez, was the level headed accountant in the Scranton branch, which is why his rare moments of exasperation became so quotable. Short lines from the show spread widely as reaction clips on social media and messaging apps, and this deadpan unbelievable survived because it fits almost any frustrating announcement, bad excuse or unbelievable story shared at work.
About this sound
Oscar Martinez saying unbelievable from The Office, a short deadpan reaction clip used for sarcastic disbelief in memes, video edits and group chats online.
This is Oscar Martinez delivering a flat, exasperated unbelievable in The Office, drawn out just enough to sound completely fed up. His calm accountant tone makes the disbelief funnier, because he is not shouting or overreacting, just stating that what he heard makes no sense. The clip lands as instant sarcasm, perfect for punctuating a bad take, an obvious lie or a coworker idea so flawed it does not deserve a longer reply. It feels dry, judgmental and very relatable in any office chat.
