News on the radio, especially on [[NPR]], does something similar with sounds. Voiceover Guy will say "The Vermont maple syrup harvest is starting up this cold February day." This cues the sound editor to play crunching snow noises as the Vermont farmer is walking through the field of snow. There may or may not be a farmer remarking, "You can't get the-yah from he-yah."
Also known as the 'Lord Privy Seal' effect, after [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVlfvdH7qwY&NR=1 a sketch] in which the Lord Privy Seal (a sinecure post in the British government) was illustrated with pictures of a nobleman, a lavatory and a pinniped.

* Richard Dawkins [https://web.archive.org/web/20120722034700/http://richarddawkins.net/articles/2394 shredded the faux-documentary ''Expelled''] for a number of reasons (starting with the fact that the producers had gotten him to be in it under false pretenses), but took special aim at its excessive use of Lord Privy Seals.
