Horst Schlemmer is one of German comedian Hape Kerkeling's most beloved creations, a bumbling fictional journalist whose slurred, lisping interviews became television classics. Long after the sketches aired, his voice lived on as a cult punchline, and short clips of Schlemmer now circulate on meme soundboards as instantly recognisable voice reaction sounds. Creators use them the way they use other comedy voice clips: to puncture pomposity, to cap a joke, or simply because the delivery is funny on its own.

The unmistakable voice of Horst Schlemmer, Hape Kerkeling's iconic German comedy character. A short, funny meme sound for reaction videos and streams.
This clip captures the unmistakable voice of Horst Schlemmer, the fictional deputy editor played by German comedian Hape Kerkeling. Delivered in the character's trademark slurred, slightly lisping drawl, the short line lands like a deadpan punchline that needs no translation for German comedy fans. Listeners recognise it instantly from Kerkeling's classic television sketches, where Schlemmer's overconfident rambling interviews made him a cult figure. The voice alone carries the joke: pompous, bumbling and oddly charming, it turns any video cut into a moment of absurd, familiar comedy that viewers can feel even before they catch the words.
