The iconic “Ew, David” reaction from Schitt's Creek, used in memes, edits and chats to show disgust, disbelief or playful annoyance.
This clip is the sharp, instantly recognisable “Ew, David” line delivered with exaggerated disgust from Schitt's Creek. It is very short, punchy and expressive, making it perfect for quick reaction moments where a normal eye roll is not enough. The sound lands best when something feels gross, awkward, cringey or absurdly out of touch. Because the delivery is dramatic but still funny, it adds a light, sarcastic tone instead of sounding genuinely mean, which is why it works so well in meme edits and everyday reaction posts.
“Ew, David” comes from the TV comedy Schitt's Creek, where the line became closely associated with Alexis Rose, played by Annie Murphy, in scenes with David Rose, played by Dan Levy. The quote spread widely through GIFs, short clips and social posts because its delivery is so specific and reusable. It remains popular as a reaction sound for cringe, secondhand embarrassment and playful disapproval, especially in short-form edits where a fast, character-based punch line works better than a longer clip.
