'Isso é um assalto' is a Brazilian Portuguese meme phrase meaning 'this is a robbery,' circulating online as a short voice clip used for prank-style humor. It spread through meme pages and short-form video, where creators pair the commanding line with harmless 'heists' like stealing a friend's fries or landing a surprise play. Because the audio is only about three seconds long, it slots neatly into reaction edits, gaming montages and WhatsApp joke chains. Its staying power comes from the format: one deadpan threat, instantly defused into comedy.

A short Portuguese voice clip yelling 'isso é um assalto' (this is a robbery). Creators use it as a prank sound to fake a holdup in memes and edits.
The clip is a blunt Portuguese voice line declaring 'isso é um assalto' — this is a robbery — delivered with the theatrical menace of a movie holdup. Lasting about three seconds, it pairs a commanding tone with a punchline setup: the listener braces for danger, then realizes it's a joke. The abruptness is the whole trick, which is why editors drop it over gameplay fails, surprise reveals and fakeout moments. It works best when the audience doesn't see it coming, turning an ordinary clip into a split-second heist scene with comedic timing.
