About this sound

This 21-second clip is Michael Scott's slow, incredulous question to Toby Flenderson, delivered with weary disbelief as he lists everything he cannot understand about him. It feels awkward, exasperated and darkly funny, the sound of patience finally running out in an office argument. The line comes from The Office, where Michael directs it at Toby during one of their long-running feuds.

Pro tip

Show the baffling choice first, then let this question answer it. It lands hardest as a reaction to something the audience has already seen, not as an opening line on its own.

Good to know

Place it immediately after the questionable choice appears on screen, so the question responds to what viewers just saw. Follow it with the Law and Order Dun Dun sting for a mock-serious verdict, or open with the Windows XP Error sound when the choice reads as a system-level mistake.
