* The CBS daytime version of ''[[The Price Is Right]]'' has one of the [[Ur Example|earliest examples]] and easily the [[Trope Maker|most recognizable]], used after double overbids in the Showcase end game and many pricing game losses. These were also used on several other Goodson/Todman game shows. Heard on ''[[Double Dare (1976 TV Show)||Double Dare]]'' and the original version of ''[[Card Sharks]]'' in truncated form, and the 1980s versions of ''Card Sharks'' in full. Consists of the first four notes of TPIR's main theme, followed by a trombone "groan". Listen to it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A here.]
** Thanks to [[Memetic Mutation]], this horn has come to indicate an [[Epic Fail]] at damn near anything.
* The Alex Trebek version of ''Classic [[Concentration]]'': One "groan" played on trombones, similar to (but not exactly like) ''Price'', is heard after a bonus loss. Recycled on the 1989 revival of ''[[Now You See It]]''.
Line 33:
* Losing the "nine keys" version of the [[Bonus Round]] on the Bergeron version of ''[[The Hollywood Squares]]''.
* The British version of ''Blockbusters'' used a three-note version as the Gold Run's time buzzer.
* Heard on occasion when a challenge was lost on [[Nickelodeon]]'s ''[[What Would You Do?
* Bonus losses on [[MTV]]'s ''Idiot Savants''.
* A two-note synth "fog horn"-like sound played whenever anyone hit the [[Whammy]] on ''[[Press Your Luck]]''. Though it was no different with the fourth Whammy that eliminated a player, there were specialized Whammy animations for those situations (most notably the umpire Whammy).
