Place it immediately after the mistake is revealed, then follow it with an Oh My God Wow reaction to sell the shock, or a Sad Violin cue for mock sympathy. Keep the confession as the turning point, with the follow-up reaction arriving straight after it.
About this sound
This 5.4-second Portuguese voice clip features Sr. K speaking on the phone, delivering the line 'Porque eu sou burro' in a blunt, self-deprecating tone. It feels awkward and funny, like catching someone admitting a foolish mistake without trying to soften it. The recording comes from Nerdcast, where Sr. K's phone call gives the confession its deadpan comic timing.
