About this sound

The classic 'thank you, come again' Apu quote from The Simpsons. A short TV catchphrase sound effect creators use to say goodbye or mock a store clerk.

This is the Spanish-dub version of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon's famous Simpsons catchphrase 'thank you, come again'. In the clip, a warm, cheerful voice delivers the line 'Gracias, vuelvas prontos' with the familiar singsong cadence of the Kwik-E-Mart clerk bidding a customer farewell. It lands as instantly recognizable Simpsons nostalgia, funny because it frames any checkout, exit or goodbye like a sitcom convenience-store moment.

The line 'thank you, come again' is the signature catchphrase of Apu, the Indian-American convenience store owner on The Simpsons, voiced by Hank Azaria from 1990 onward. It became one of the show's most quoted goodbye lines and a staple of soundboards and meme edits. Spanish dubs of the show adapted it as 'Gracias, vuelva pronto', and fans commonly misspell it 'vuelvas prontos', which is how the clip is usually labeled online. It persists as a lighthearted way to end videos and poke fun at service-industry goodbyes.

Pro Tip for Usage

Drop it right on the cut as a character walks out of frame or a receipt is handed over. It works best dry with no music underneath, so the cadence lands, and keep it under busy dialogue or it turns into mush.

Use Cases

  • Ending a skit with a character leaving a shop.
  • Mocking a cashier checkout moment in an edit.
