Flirty “Ohh Steven” voice clip from Laura Clery’s Me Trying to Flirt comedy skits. Creators use it for crush moments, flirting fails and thirst-trap edits.

Ohh Steven! is a two-second comedic voice clip of a woman gasping the name “Steven” in a breathy, exaggeratedly flirtatious tone, as if she has just spotted her crush across the room. Lifted from comedian Laura Clery’s “Me Trying to Flirt” compilation, the delivery is deliberately over-the-top: the “ohh” rises with mock surprise before landing on a swooning, almost cartoonish “Steven.” At under three seconds it lands instantly, and the knowing cheesiness of the performance makes any clip it touches feel like a punchline about desire, turning an ordinary reaction shot into a full-blown thirsty confession.

Comedian Laura Clery built a following with short character-driven comedy sketches on social video platforms, and her “Me Trying to Flirt” compilation collects bits about awkward attempts at seduction. The “Ohh Steven!” line comes from one of those flirting bits, delivered as a swooning reaction to an attractive man. As a short, instantly readable reaction sound it spread through meme soundboards and short-form edits, which creators use as a quick punchline for crush and thirst-trap jokes. Its staying power is the specificity: funnier than a generic gasp because the name and the swoon complete the joke.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Drop it the frame a crush appears on screen and cut it before the swoon fades so it stays punchy. Pair it with a slow zoom on the love interest, and never stack it over dialogue or music with vocals that bury the name.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Reacting to a celebrity crush appearing on screen.
  • Captioning a flirting fail in a comedy sketch.
  • Soundtracking a thirst-trap photo slideshow edit.
  • Punching up a dating app screenshot meme.
