What Are Those Sound Effect

“What Are Those Sound Effect” captures the loud, teasing spirit of the “What are those?” meme phrase, a catchphrase commonly associated with jokingly calling attention to someone’s shoes or an outfit that looks unusual. Its appeal comes from the contrast between an ordinary observation and the exaggerated urgency in the delivery: a simple question becomes a full-on public investigation.

The clip works especially well as a quick reaction because it communicates disbelief without needing additional explanation. Drop it into a video when a character reveals an odd pair of sneakers, an NPC appears in baffling clothing, or a friend makes a questionable fashion choice. It can also punctuate screenshots, gaming moments, livestream commentary, and group-chat jokes where the visual itself supplies the punchline.

There is a distinctly playful, confrontational rhythm to the phrase. It sounds less like a sincere request for information and more like a theatrical challenge, making the effect useful for mock roasting rather than genuine criticism. The short wording leaves room for the surrounding scene to do the work, while the recognizable meme language gives even a small reaction an immediate internet-culture flavor. Keep the timing tight, and the interruption becomes the joke.
