Talking Ben the Dog is a virtual pet app from Outfit7, part of the Talking Tom and Friends series, where players call Ben on a phone and receive his deadpan replies. Clips of those calls became a widespread internet meme in the early 2020s, especially on TikTok and YouTube, as creators staged absurd conversations and edited Ben's reactions for comedy. The end call sound comes from that in-app phone interface, and editors now reuse it outside the game to recreate the familiar moment a call with Ben abruptly finishes.
