The line began as the closing sign-off for Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, delivered by Porky Pig at the end of the short. Porky, who first appeared in the 1930s, became closely linked with the phrase, and repeated television broadcasts kept it familiar to generations of viewers. As cartoons moved online, creators began using the clip as a ready-made ending for videos, memes and compilations, borrowing its instant recognition. It remains popular because it signals a clear, friendly finish in just a few seconds.
About this sound
Porky Pig's classic That's All Folks closing line from Looney Tunes, used to end videos, memes and compilations with a nostalgic cartoon sign-off.
Porky Pig delivers the famous That's All Folks sign-off in his warm, stuttering voice, stretching the final words with a cheerful, slightly wobbly charm that instantly recalls Saturday morning cartoons. The short clip captures the playful brass fanfare feel of a classic Looney Tunes ending, even as Porky's gentle lisp and friendly tone take centre stage. It sounds cosy, familiar and a little silly, like the last page of a storybook closing with a smile. Hearing it gives viewers an instant hit of nostalgia, making any ending feel lighter, friendlier and unmistakably cartoonish.
