About this sound

✦ AI

The famous 'Errou' shout from Brazilian TV host Faustão, used in memes and reaction videos to mark a wrong answer, a mistake or a failed attempt.

This is a short, punchy shout of the Portuguese word for 'wrong' delivered in the booming, theatrical voice of Brazilian television presenter Faustão. The single word lands hard and fast, with a stretched, emphatic vowel that makes it feel like a game-show buzzer in human form. Hearing it instantly signals failure, a bad guess or a clumsy mistake, which is why it works so well as a reaction: it cuts through a clip, delivers the joke in under two seconds and leaves no doubt that something just went badly wrong.

Faustão, whose real name is Fausto Silva, became one of Brazil's best-known television presenters hosting Sunday variety and game shows, where a wrong answer could earn this blunt, drawn-out 'Errou'. The catchphrase travelled far beyond television as Brazilian internet culture turned his reactions into memes, WhatsApp audios and short reaction clips for failed guesses and bad decisions. Its brevity and instantly recognisable tone keep it useful today, especially in Portuguese-language videos, streams and social posts where a single word can deliver the verdict.
