Also known as: "Who Da Fack Dare to Call Me When I'm So Busy"

"Who the Fuck Dare to Call Me When I'm so Busy" is a catchphrase and viral video meme originating from Bulgarian YouTuber Albena Vuleva, who said the line while receiving a phone call during a 2020 YouTube video1. Though the original clip sat largely unnoticed for over two years, TikTokers discovered it in early 2023 and turned it into a massively popular sound, with over 81,100 videos using the audio within weeks2.

Overview

The meme centers on a clip of Albena Vuleva, a blonde Bulgarian woman with a thick accent, sitting in front of her camera and getting interrupted by a phone call. She looks at her phone with exaggerated annoyance and declares, "Who the fuck dare to call me when I'm so busy?" before declining the call1. The combination of her deadpan delivery, heavy accent, and over-the-top attitude struck a chord with TikTok users, who adopted the audio clip for relatable comedy about being interrupted during important (or not-so-important) tasks.

On September 27, 2020, Bulgarian YouTuber Albena Vuleva uploaded a video titled "GOPRO- първи стъпки, хъ хъ" to her YouTube channel2. The video showed her speaking directly to the camera in what appeared to be a casual vlog. At the 12:34 mark, her phone rang, and she responded with the now-iconic line: "Who the fuck dare to call me when I'm so busy?"1 The video picked up roughly 3,700 views over the next three years, sitting in relative obscurity.

On September 27, 2020, Bulgarian YouTuber Albena Vuleva uploaded a video titled "GOPRO- първи стъпки, хъ хъ" to her YouTube channel2. The video showed her speaking directly to the camera in what appeared to be a casual vlog. At the 12:34 mark, her phone rang, and she responded with the now-iconic line: "Who the fuck dare to call me when I'm so busy?"1 The video picked up roughly 3,700 views over the next three years, sitting in relative obscurity.

How It Spread

The clip's second life began on February 21, 2023, when TikToker @ivonikoloff repackaged the moment as a CapCut template. That post pulled in approximately 432,700 plays and 62,000 likes within two months1. Seeing the response, @ivonikoloff followed up on March 20 with a cropped, more shareable version of the clip that earned around 509,200 plays and 86,500 likes in just over three weeks1.

Other TikTokers quickly picked up the format. On March 22, @stan_s1dney posted their own video using the clip and then uploaded a separate cropped version for others to use, which racked up roughly 304,400 plays1.

The real explosion came on March 28, 2023, when @livelaughlovelana.delrey posted a video using the sound that blew up to approximately 4.8 million plays and 884,100 likes in two weeks1. This spike triggered a wave of creators adopting the associated TikTok sound. A video from @barbiebleach on March 31 hit around 520,300 plays and 89,600 likes in 11 days1. Within two weeks of the major breakout, the sound had been used in over 81,100 TikTok videos1.

How to Use This Meme

The meme typically works in one of two ways:

1

Relatable interruption format: Show yourself deeply focused on an activity (gaming, studying, doing nothing at all), then cut to the Vuleva audio when your phone rings or someone interrupts. The humor comes from the contrast between how "busy" you claim to be and what you're actually doing.

2

Sassy response format: Use the audio as a general mood or reaction clip to express exaggerated annoyance at being bothered. Creators often lip-sync along with Vuleva's delivery for comedic effect.

Fun Facts

Vuleva's original video title translates roughly to "GOPRO- first steps, huh huh," suggesting she was testing out a new camera when the now-famous interruption happened2.

The clip sat dormant for nearly two and a half years before TikTok discovered it1.

The alternate spelling "Who Da Fack" reflects how many listeners heard Vuleva's accented pronunciation1.

@ivonikoloff played a key role in the meme's spread by posting both the original CapCut template and a follow-up cropped version optimized for sharing1.
