More about this sound

About our version

Our main take is 1.2 seconds: a man's dry, deadpan "oh no", close to the mic. The variations are "oh no", a pause, then a cheerful "anyway"; a gasping, panicked "OH NO!"; and a squeaky cartoon "oh no, oh no, oh no".

Every take was made with AI from a description. None is cut from a TV show, a song or a TikTok, so they are free to use in edits and on stream.

Questions

Where is the oh no anyway meme from?

It's best known as a reaction GIF of a TV presenter saying "Oh no! Anyway..." and moving straight on. People use it to say they don't care. Our "anyway" take is an original voice that reads the same line.

Is this the oh no song from TikTok?

No. That one samples a 1960s song. This page is the spoken reaction: our own voices saying "oh no", with no music.

Which take should I use for a meme?

The flat main take for sarcasm, "anyway" when you want to move on, the dramatic one for real disasters and the cartoon one for panic.
