Online, the phrase what are those has become shorthand for calling out footwear that looks out of place, and short soundboard versions keep it alive long after the original videos stopped trending. This two-part clip pairs that familiar roast with rak na this, giving creators a ready-made call-and-response they can drop over streetwear clips, sneaker unboxings and everyday reaction videos. Its brevity makes it easy to loop, meme and reuse, which is why it still appears in edits whenever someone wants an instant, recognisable joke about shoes.
About this sound
A loud, drawn-out shout asking what are those, followed by rak na this, used in short videos to roast a friend's shoes or outfit in a funny, exaggerated way.
This clip opens with a stretched, incredulous voice yelling what are those, dragging the last word out for comic emphasis before landing on the punchy, slang-filled tag rak na this. The delivery is loud, playful and deliberately over the top, with a rising, teasing tone that makes the insult feel like a joke between friends rather than a real attack. It works because the listener instantly recognises the shoe-roasting setup and waits for the punchline, and the sudden switch to the second phrase gives editors a sharp cut point. Played over a reaction shot, it turns a small fashion detail into the funniest moment in the video.
