Ronnie Kray is one of the notorious Kray twins from 1960s London, portrayed by Tom Hardy in the 2015 crime film Legend, where Hardy played both Ronnie and Reggie. Short dialogue clips from the film have circulated on soundboards as reaction memes, with this brief questioning line standing out for its deadpan delivery. It spread through meme edits, gaming videos and social posts where a confused reaction was needed in under two seconds. Its lasting appeal is simplicity, a recognisable character voice asking a universal question anyone would ask when faced with something odd.
About this sound
Ronnie Kray asking what is that in a confused tone, a short movie line used as a reaction sound for weird or unexpected moments online in videos.
This is a very short vocal clip of Ronnie Kray reacting with a bewildered what is that, delivered in a flat, incredulous tone that makes the confusion feel instantly funny. The line lands in just over a second, with no music or background build up, so the surprise is carried entirely by the voice and timing. It works because the reaction feels genuine rather than performed, turning an ordinary question into a perfect punchline for anything strange, suspicious or completely out of place appearing on screen without warning or explanation.
