Sting (music): Difference between revisions

Line 7:

When used for a cheap shock, the '''sting''' becomes a [[Scare Chord]]. If it comes at the very end of the entire episode, then it's a [[The Stinger|Sting]]''[[The Stinger|er]]''.

A common version of [[Lampshade Hanging]] is when a character is shown to have [[Sorry I Left the BGM On|''heard'']] the sound effect, it often crops up in the form of something like "Who keeps ''doing'' that?'' or "Ok, seriously. Knock it off." An even better lampshade, or perhaps an outright subversion, is when the characters themselves provide the sound effects -- "Dun dun DAH!".

Compare [[Screamer Trailer]]. Do not confuse with [[The Stinger]]. Or with the ''musician'' [[The Police|Sting]], or the ''[[Professional Wrestling|wrestler]]'' [[Sting (wrestling)|Sting]] or the film ''[[The Sting]]''. Or that dagger used by [[Lord of the Rings|Frodo and his Uncle]], [[Overly Long Gag|or the police tactic of pretending to be a customer for drug salesmen or prostitutes, or the pain, action, or body part that occurs at the back of a bee or wasp.]]
