With no confirmed source work or named speaker attached to the recording, this sound has spread purely as a reusable reaction clip on meme soundboards and in short video edits. Its appeal is the blunt wording, which creators borrow whenever a joke, prank or comment crosses from funny into awkward. The truncated phrasing often quoted alongside it, that is not, there is nothing, reinforces how the speaker shuts the moment down mid-sentence. It remains popular because almost any failed comedy clip sets it up perfectly.
About this sound
That Is Not Funny is a flat reaction voice clip where a speaker insists there is nothing to laugh at, used in memes to shut down a bad or awkward joke.
The clip captures a deadpan voice cutting in to declare that something is not funny at all, insisting there is nothing to laugh about. The delivery is flat, frustrated and slightly drawn out, with the speaker repeating the point as if talking to someone who will not stop joking. It lands less like a punchline and more like a full stop, which is why it feels so awkward and funny in contrast. Placed over a failed joke or cringe moment, it instantly deflates the mood and makes the silence the joke.
