The word turkey has been theatre slang for a show that fails, and this clip borrows that blunt shorthand for online comedy. Shared as a short meme sound, it circulates as a reaction rather than as a quotation people trace back to an episode, and its two-second length makes it easy to drop into edits, streams, and comment-style videos. It stays useful because the joke is not tied to one news cycle: any new trailer, show, game, or event can be framed as the next turkey, so creators keep reaching for the verdict whenever hype looks likely to collapse.
About this sound
A short television clip where a speaker calls a show a turkey, used as a sarcastic reaction to a disappointing trailer, performance, or event that looks doomed.
This two-second television clip delivers a single blunt verdict in a dry, matter-of-fact voice: the show in question is going to be a turkey. The delivery is flat rather than shouted, which makes the insult land harder, like a backstage aside overheard by the audience. There is no music or laugh track to soften it, just the plain spoken line, so it works as a quick, cutting judgment. Dropped into a video, it instantly tells viewers that whatever follows is expected to flop, creating a knowing, slightly cruel laugh before the footage has even had a chance to prove itself.
