Line 64:

* The Movie ''Plots With A View'' has it too. Alfred Molina, who plays Boris Plots, is dancing to a song which plays on a record player until Brenda Blethyn appear.Plots then accidentally kicks the needle from the vinyl,making this record needle scratch sound.

* Bizarrely averted by ''[[The Matrix]] Revolutions''. When Morpheus's team breaks into club Hel, The Merovingian shouts for silence. The scene then cuts to a DJ scratching on two turntables looking up...then hitting the "stop" button on his deck. This is noted in the [[Rifftrax]] of this film as well.

* Justified in ''Malibu's Most Wanted'' in the rap battle scene as they are using actual vinyl records, and B-rad has a problem with [[N Word Privileges]].

* Justified in ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'': Trying to introduce a little humanity to the prison, Andy is playing opera music over the intercom. Then the brutal guard shows up and walks towards Andy, and the camera pans away as the record scratches.

* Justified in ''[[Saving Private Ryan]]'' right before a major battle. The Americans are listening to a French record while one of them translates the lyrics - then everyone hears rumbling from an incoming German tank, the record scratches and stops, and the Americans get into position.

Line 84:

* One episode of ''[[Good Eats]]'' features Alton Brown trying to get a wedge of cheese to jump through a hula hoop, complete with circus organ. The scratch comes before he announces he'll have to make soup out of it.

* A record needle scratch interrupts a romantic moment in ''[[Ghost Whisperer]]'' when Melinda and Jim realize that a particularly angry ghost hadn't been accounted for due to {{spoiler|the suspected person being very much alive, not to mention very happy}}.

* Used often on ''[[~~Britains~~ Got Talent (TV)|Britains Got Talent]]'' and ''[[Americas Got Talent]]'', usually in the following two varieties:

* Used often on ''[[Britain's Got Talent (TV)|Britains Got Talent]]'' and ''[[Americas Got Talent]]'', usually in the following two varieties:

** [[Transvestite|Transvestites]] and [[Drag Queen|drag queens]] who reveal themselves to be men while on stage (like [[Britney Spears]] and [[Lady Gaga]] impersonators Derrick Barry and Max Oliver), or

** People who look relatively normal backstage, but then go on stage in bizarre outfits (like Manuela "the Mominatrix" Horn and John "Prince Poppycock" Quale).

Line 91:

* Used in ''[[X-Play]]'' at the end of Adam's review of ''[[Drake of the 99 Dragons]]'' after he gets sick of hearing Drake say "[[Nothing Can Stop Me Now]]!"<ref>a clip repeated throughout the review</ref>.

* Used in ''[[Come Dine With Me]]'' when one of the (male, heterosexual) contestants dressed in women's clothes to host his party greeted his first guest.

* Played straight on the [[~~Mash~~ (TV)|Mash]] episode "Tell It To The Marines." Potter returns from an away trip to find that Winchester, left in charge in Potter's absence, is using Klinger as his manservant and is blaring opera records. Potter puts an end to it by scraping the needle across a selection.

{{quote| Skkkrrrrrreeeee! (An attempt to render the sound of a phonographic needle skittering across a record through the medium of the alphabet, to signify a "whoa, hold on there little doggy!" reaction.)}}

* ''[[Homestar Runner (Web Animation)|Homestar Runner]]'' loves this trope, using it in [http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Sound_Effects at least ten cartoons so far]. They use a distinctly different sound effect for it than most works.

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh ~~the~~ Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'': When Tristan arrives with his motorbike.

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'': When Tristan arrives with his motorbike.

* This happens in [[Avatar the Abridged Series|Avatar: The Abridged Series]], when Chong starts playing the song "Secret Tunnel" about half a season ahead of schedule. He gives the excuse that he's "baked like an apple pie right now, man."

* [[Doctor Steel]] used it in ''The Dr. Steel Christmas Special''.

Line 158:

* In the [[Pixar]] short ''[[Pixar Shorts|Mater and the Ghost Light]]'', there's one right after Lightning McQueen says, "What is the Ghost Light?"

* Used in an episode of ''[[Spongebob SquarePants]]'' where Patrick is the one millionth recipient of a driver's license and wins a boatmobile. This trope occurs near the end when Patrick reveals that he threw the boatmobile away because the needle was on E, and he apparently thought it meant "end". [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* ''[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. Actually used quite frequently, because the music usually [[Mickey Mousing|follows the action]]. Just a couple of examples:

* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]''. Actually used quite frequently, because the music usually [[Mickey Mousing|follows the action]]. Just a couple of examples:

** In "Call of the Cutie", Apple Bloom trips right into an actual record player, causing it to scratch like this, and drawing attention to the fact that she still doesn't have her cutie mark and was trying to hide it.

** In "The Best Night Ever," Pinkie's disco music cuts off suddenly when Rarity is hit in the face with a layer cake.

** In "Hearts and Hooves Day", the Cutie Mark Crusaders play [[Shipper On Deck]] for their teacher and Big Macintosh. Not only does a needle scratch accompany the first attempt at a romantic moment being ruined, but because there was an actual record player present the music ''keeps'' playing only distorted.

* Inverted in [[Duck Amuck]]; Daffy asks for sound, and a quiet static can be heard. That is the sound of a record starting to play.

* A variant in ''[[The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh]]'', in "Paw and Order", with a chorus instead of record needle: The "Masked Bear" is preparing to fight the villain and is twirling an [[Edible Ammunition|ice cream]] [[Improbable Weapon User|spoon]] in his paw [[What Do You Mean ~~Its~~ Not Awesome|dramatically]], but then suddenly drops it...
