A short Japanese voice clip meaning 'this is terrible', dropped over clips of fails, bad takes and cringe moments for instant comic effect in memes.

This is a one-and-a-half-second voice clip of someone saying the Japanese phrase 'kore wa hidoi', which translates roughly to 'this is terrible' or 'that's awful'. The delivery is flat and exasperated rather than shocked, which is exactly what makes it funny — it lands like a disappointed sigh from someone who has seen it all. Creators pair it with fails, cringe compilations and moments of spectacularly bad judgment, where the deadpan foreign-language reaction feels sharper than anything in English. Because the clip is so short, it works as a punchline stinger that ends a moment instead of interrupting it.

The phrase 'kore wa hidoi' (これはひどい) is everyday Japanese for 'this is terrible', and short clips of it circulate as a reaction sound on meme and soundboard communities. It caught on with editors who like foreign-language reactions that sound funnier out of context, joining a wave of Japanese audio memes shared across TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Nobody credits a single source — like many viral audio bites, it spread through reuploads and remixes. Today it sits alongside other deadpan reaction sounds such as bruh, usually linked in meme reaction compilations and soundboard collections.

Professionele tip voor gebruik

Drop it right after the fail lands, not over the action — the half-second of silence before it makes the deadpan delivery hit harder. Keep the subtitle 'this is terrible' on screen for viewers who do not speak Japanese.
