About this sound

✦ AI

Chris Tucker's famous 'you got knocked the f out' line from Friday, used as a reaction sound for knockouts, fails and brutal takedowns online.

This is the shocked, high-pitched delivery of the classic knockout line, shouted right after a character gets flattened in a fight. The voice cracks with disbelief and laughter, stretching the final words for comic effect. It does not sound threatening so much as gleeful, like a friend on the sidelines who cannot believe what he just saw. Dropped over a clip, it instantly turns a fall, a punch or an embarrassing wipeout into a punchline, letting the audience know the hit was total and there is no getting up from it.

The line comes from the 1995 comedy Friday, spoken by Smokey, played by Chris Tucker, right after Deebo knocks out Red in front of the neighborhood. Tucker's exaggerated delivery made the moment one of the film's most quoted scenes. Clips of the line spread through early meme videos, Vine edits and gaming montages in the 2010s, and the censored 'fugg out' version became popular on soundboards because it keeps the joke usable in more places. It remains a go-to shorthand for a complete, embarrassing knockout.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place it a half second after the impact lands, not over it, so the hit reads first and the line lands as the reaction. Keep the original fight audio low underneath, and cut to black or freeze-frame on the final word for extra sting.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Drop after a brutal knockout in a fight compilation.
  • Use when a gamer gets instantly eliminated mid match.
  • Add to a fail video where someone wipes out hard.
  • Play as a reaction to a savage verbal takedown.
