This audio is widely recognized online as the setup line from the fish meme version of “you know what that means.” It spread through short-form meme edits, reposts, and reaction compilations where the phrase is followed by a fish image or another deliberately obvious payoff. Its staying power comes from how short and reusable it is: creators can drop it into almost any format to signal that a reveal is coming. The meme survives because viewers immediately understand the rhythm, even when the actual joke changes.
About this sound
Short voice clip of the viral “you know what that means” line, often tied to the fish meme and used before a punchline, reveal or absurd cutaway.
This sound is a very short spoken line saying, “you know what that means,” delivered like the setup to an obvious conclusion. Because the clip cuts off so quickly, it creates a neat pause that makes the next visual or sound hit harder. People use it as a reaction before showing a fish image, an absurd reveal, or a joke that everyone in the audience already understands. It works well in memes because the phrase is familiar, dramatic, and flexible enough to fit both deadpan edits and chaotic punchlines.
