About this sound

The iconic Big Shaq line from Man's Not Hot where the ting goes skrrrahh, used as a punchy sound effect for reveals, fails and comedic edits.

The clip captures Big Shaq delivering the famous ting goes skrrrahh line in his deadpan, rapid-fire flow, with the exaggerated skrrrahh stretched out like a gunshot sound and a sharp percussive hit underneath it. His calm, almost bored delivery makes the nonsense lyric land harder, turning a throwaway bar into an instant punchline. When it drops in a video, viewers recognise it immediately and expect something ridiculous, impressive or badly timed to follow, which is why it works so well as a reaction, a reveal or a cut to chaos.

Pro tip

Drop the skrrrahh exactly on the visual impact, like a fail landing or a surprising reveal, then pause the music for a beat so the line breathes. Avoid layering it over dialogue or repeating it twice, because crowded timing kills the joke.

How people use it

Punctuating a failed trick or clumsy stunt in a clip.
Revealing an unexpected outfit, car or room transformation.
Cutting to a friend's overconfident boast going wrong.
Soundtracking a gaming kill, goal or dramatic comeback moment.

More information

The line comes from Big Shaq, the comic character created by Michael Dapaah, performing his Fire in the Booth freestyle for BBC Radio 1Xtra in 2017. The session was later released as Man's Not Hot, and clips of the deadpan delivery and the ting goes skrrrahh hook spread quickly across YouTube, Vine and social media. Its mix of parody grime, absurd lyrics and confident delivery made it a lasting meme sound, still used for comedic reveals and reactions years after the original freestyle.
