The 15 best meme sounds to imitate

Ranked by how much your friends will laugh, not by how well you will do.

The easy ones (great to warm up)

  • "Bruh": one syllable, maximum disappointment. Everyone can do it, nobody does it the same.
  • "Nope": the Engineer from Team Fortress 2. Short, dry, perfect first round.
  • "Deez Nuts": the timing is everything. Say it too early and you lose the joke.
  • "Sheesh": long, high and nasal. Easy to start, hard to hold.
  • "Wow" (Owen Wilson): the most imitated word in Hollywood, and still nobody gets it right.

The medium ones (where votes get interesting)

  • "Emotional Damage": you need the accent, the pitch and the pause. A crowd favorite.
  • "It Is Wednesday My Dudes": a scream in the middle. Neighbours will hear it.
  • "Why Are You Running": a drawn out question with a very specific melody.
  • "My Name Is Jeff": the voice is squeezed, the rhythm is strange, the room is laughing.
  • "Oh No No No": the laugh at the end is the whole point.

The impossible ones (for legends only)

  • The Vine boom: a bass hit with your mouth. Beatboxers only.
  • The sad trombone: four descending notes, "wah wah wah waaah". Harder than it sounds.
  • The Wilhelm scream: the most used scream in cinema. Try not to hurt yourself.
  • The metal pipe falling: a clang, a bounce, a rattle. Pure chaos.
  • The Windows XP error: a two note chime that nobody can pitch.
