Dutch Rundfunk clip where the teacher announces jullie hebben allemaal een voldoende, used for pass results, school wins and sarcastic good news.

This is a short Dutch voice line from the school sketches in Rundfunk, delivered by a teacher with cheerful finality as he tells the whole class they have all scraped a pass. The phrase voldoende means just enough to pass, not excellent, which gives the announcement its comic sting. It sounds tidy, upbeat and slightly smug, like good news that is also a quiet insult. Viewers instantly read it as relief mixed with disbelief, making the clip land perfectly after low expectations, a barely survived test or any result that is technically a win but nothing to brag about.

Rundfunk is a Dutch comedy television series created by Tom van Kalmthout and Yannick van de Velde, built around absurd sketches set largely in a secondary school. The voldoende line comes from its classroom world, where teachers announce grades with far more confidence than the results deserve. Clips from the show circulate widely among Dutch viewers on soundboards and in school group chats, and this one survives because a passing grade is universal. It needs no setup beyond a disappointing score, so creators reuse it whenever minimal success deserves maximum ceremony.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place it right after the reveal, not under it: show the failed attempt or exam result first, hold half a second, then let the teacher deliver the verdict clean and dry. Do not add music, the smug classroom tone is the joke.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Drop after a test you barely passed somehow.
  • Use for exam results that are technically good enough.
  • Add to school edits celebrating a mediocre final grade.
  • Play when a whole group survives by one point.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does allemaal een voldoende mean?
It is Dutch for everyone got a sufficient grade, meaning the whole class passed but not with a high mark. A voldoende is the minimum satisfactory result in Dutch schools, which is why the line feels both celebratory and a little backhanded.
Where is the allemaal een voldoende sound from?
It comes from Rundfunk, the Dutch school comedy series starring Tom van Kalmthout and Yannick van de Velde. The clip is taken from a classroom sketch where a teacher calmly tells his students that every one of them has passed.
How do people use this sound in edits?
Creators place it after exam reveals, report cards or any barely successful attempt. The joke works best when expectations were low, because the cheerful announcement treats a minimum pass like a major achievement, turning relief into a dry punchline.
