Red Foreman is the strict, exasperated father at the centre of That '70s Show, the American sitcom that ran from 1998 to 2006, and his threat to put his foot in someone's ass became one of his defining catchphrases. Played by Kurtwood Smith, Red used the line whenever Eric, his friends or another character did something foolish, and fans quoted it long after the show ended. Clipped from the series, the line now circulates as a short reaction sound for videos and memes about bad choices, stubborn behaviour and deserved scoldings.
About this sound
Red Foreman's classic threat from That '70s Show, warning that he will put his foot in your ass, used as a stern and funny reaction to foolish behaviour.
This short clip captures Red Foreman delivering his signature threat in a gruff, no-nonsense voice, telling someone he is about to put his foot in their ass. The delivery is blunt, fatherly and just menacing enough to be funny, with the emphasis landing hard on the final words. It works because Red is not shouting wildly; he is calmly stating a consequence, which makes the line feel both intimidating and absurd. Played over a bad decision, a dumb comment or a friend acting up, it instantly frames the moment as a scolding from the toughest dad on television.
