The 'Funny Mic' meme refers to the use of low-quality, heavily distorted audio to create a comedic 'earrape' effect, most famously popularized by creators like Jschlatt and Tyler1. Often associated with budget hardware like the Logitech C270 webcam or cheap USB desk microphones, the meme highlights moments where someone’s voice becomes a wall of digital clipping and static. It is widely used in gaming clips, Discord calls, and shitposting to emphasize sudden frustration or chaotic energy. The visual template typically features the microphone itself or a character screaming, signifying that the viewer's ears are about to be overwhelmed by high-volume noise.
