About this sound

This short voice clip features Rick from Rick and Morty delivering his line 'and that's the way the news goes' in a flat, matter-of-fact tone. It feels dry, sarcastic and oddly final, like a shrug after bad news. The line comes from the animated series Rick and Morty, where Rick uses it as a throwaway sign-off.

How to use this button

Play it after delivering bad news to friends to close the topic with a shrug
Drop it at the end of a group chat rant when nobody has a reply
Use it after reading out a weird headline to underline how absurd it is
Hit it when a meeting ends on disappointing results and everyone needs a laugh

Where people drop it

WhatsApp
Send it in a family group after sharing a strange headline so everyone gets the deadpan sign-off
Discord
Play it on voice chat right after announcing a lost game round to defuse the frustration
TikTok
Add it at the very end of a bad news storytime video for a dry closing punchline
YouTube
Place it after the final update in a commentary video to sign off without extra explanation

Pro tip

Use it only once, right at the very end of your bit. The joke works as a full stop, and repeating it or talking over it afterward kills the deadpan finality that makes the line land.

Good to know

Place this clip as the last audio element in your edit, after your main segment finishes. Pair it with a record scratch before it for a sudden stop, or a sad trombone earlier in the piece so this acts as the closing tag.

FAQ

How do I save the That's The Way The News Goes MP3?

Use the download option on this page to save the MP3 to your device, then open it from your files or music app. Once saved, it plays offline like any other audio file on your phone.

What kind of bad news moment suits the News Goes line best?

It suits low-stakes, absurd updates where a dramatic reaction would be too much, like a cancelled plan or a weird headline. The deadpan delivery turns disappointment into a shared joke instead of a complaint.

Who will get the News Goes joke without any context?

Rick and Morty fans will recognise Rick's sign-off instantly, but the line also works for anyone else because the wording itself sounds like a news anchor closing a segment on disappointing news.
