{{quote|<nowiki>*</nowiki>'''STAB'''*
[[Footnote Fever|*:]]Actually, the sound of a wombat being stabbed is a scratchy noise of bristles scraping on steel followed by a rather unpleasant "squlorp!" noise, followed by a damp smack of hilt. But "scratch-squlorp-squithud!" lacks a certain pithiness.

The [[Written Sound Effect]] is a basic technique for illustrating non-dialog sounds in visual media. The text is a transliteration of the sounds, usually written as onomatopoeia. But then some authors will start writing as sound effects words which only ''sound'' like onomatopoeia. "Bash!" and "Kick!" for instance, just happen to sound a bit like the impacts they're describing.

== Advertising ==
* It is common practice for closed captioning to caption sound effects as well. There is a Windex ad in which the mother cleans a window with Windex to let the sun shine in and wake up her kids. The kids rush out while the mother smirks—because it's Saturday. Her smirk is captioned as "''(mother smirks)''."
== Anime
* In ''[[One Piece]]'' Chimney did her own sound effect for staring (jiiiiiii).<ref>"Jii..." is for some reason the Japanese onomatopoeia for staring.</ref>
** In [https://web.archive.org/web/20111003205116/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v20/c181/15.html this page] during the Alabasta arc, the camel in the last panel gets, appropriately, ''CAMEL!!''
** When Zoro battles with Kaku in Enies Lobby, he is so underwhelmed and shocked by the lameness of Kaku's semi-human form he says "You look like sh*t!" To which Kaku says "GABEEN!!"<ref>"Gabeen" is the Japanese onomatopoeia for a jaw-drop or similar shocked reaction.</ref>
* The "Kaa" onomatopoeia is seldom used for a blinding sunlight in manga. The same sound effect is also used for [[Luminescent Blush]]es.
Line 49:
* One translation of the [[Hentai]] doujin ''Blue Eyes'' featured such sound effects as "ORGASM!", "CLIMAX!", and possibly funniest of all of all, "KA-FUCK!"
* In the space of two pages in the first chapter of ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'', we have "GRAB," "FIDGET," "SURPRISE," and of course, "THREATENING ATMOSPHERE."
* ''[[Otome Kikan Gretel]]'' has a rather freaked out Yuu with the effect "[https://web.archive.org/web/20091008220233/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/otome_kikan_gretel/v01/c002/24.html startle]." (next to, of course, someone who [[Say It with Hearts|talks with hearts]]
** The very next page has [https://web.archive.org/web/20091006131250/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/otome_kikan_gretel/v01/c002/26.html "Confused" and "Realization" on the same panel, then "The Culprit" immediately after]
* ''[[Chi's Sweet Home]]'' uses a number of these, including things like [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/chii_s_sweet_home/v02/c032/7.html "dejected"] and [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/chii_s_sweet_home/v02/c033/9.html "loom."]
* When the author of ''[[Kaiji]]'' discovered there wasn't an onomatopoeia for dramatic tension, he invented his own: ZAWA.
Line 84:
* The everpresent "WOW~!" used to punctuate fanservice in ''[[Fairy Tail]]''.
* '''[[Nichijou|GASCOIGNE!]]'''
* One [[Scanlation]] of the ''[[Yumekui Merry]]'' manga uses "{{
* [[Houou Gakuen Misoragumi]] has sounds effects such as [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/houou_gakuen_misoragumi/v01/c001/15.html 'gets up'] and [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/houou_gakuen_misoragumi/v01/c002/17.html 'barf']
* ''[[Sumomomo Momomo]]'' also, at one point, uses the aforementioned [[Pettanko|Petta~n]] sound effect for both Momoka and Iroha, for good reason.
Line 93:
* [[Acme Novelty Lirary]] by [[Chris Ware]], auther of [[Jimmy Corrigan, The Smartest Kid On Earth]] takes this trope to a new level by featuring a panel that says "Onomatopoeia: front door opening"
* In ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'', at least one X-Babies encounter ("Mojo Mayhem") has gone this way (with arguing murmurs written as "argue" or "debate" or "mutter" and the like.)
** [[Chris Claremont]] (as noted above, since he wrote the X-Babies storyline) tended to use this device, especially toward the end of his stint on Uncanny X-Men. In one issue we see an angry mob in the distance, and as they approach their angry murmuring is expressed as unsounds expressing their intent to do horrible things to the object of their wrath, such as [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|"murder," "mutilate," "bludgeon", and "sue
** In one issue by Claremont, Jubilee is served some [[Foreign Queasine]] and reacts with "That's it, that's it, that's IT!", followed by a speech bubble simply saying "hate, scream, cry, rage, rant, gripe, shriek!"
* Subverted in an issue of the ''[[The Mighty Thor|Thor]]'' comic book, where the Hulk hits Thor with an entire freight train (complete with attached cars). The editor's note on the page confesses that there's no onomatopoeia there because nothing they could think of would do the scene justice.
Line 103:
** Similarly, ''[[The Daily Show]]'' featured a comic mocking [[George W. Bush]] with sound effects such as "STALL!".
* [[Tiny Titans]] gives us some like [[It Makes Sense in Context|CHAIR!]] and [[It Makes Sense in Context|TIE!]]
* Frequently used in ''[[Twisted
** A much, much later strip features [[Christian Bale]] interrupting the Manly Men of Action's dancing with the sound effect of "record screeching to a halt!" [[Dolph Lundgren]] then displays his musical talent by playing a drum solo; the sound effect is "Drum Solo!"
* ''[[Spider-Man]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20160614171746/http://www.superdickery.com/walrus-man/ BUTTT!]
* German comic artist ''Ralf König'' is good at this. he rather describes the mood of scenes with his unsounds. One scene shows a guy laying in bed, hearing "sounds" like "cooking coffee" and "doorclap".
* ''[[The Tick (animation)]]'' is also fond of this, with the best being "CONTEMPLATE!"
Line 136:
* At least one Matt Howarth comic used the effect "REALLY LOUD SOUND BUT YOU CAN'T HEAR IT" repeated over and over in the background of a panel for some kind of [[Reality Warper|reality warping]] effect.
* Whenever superspeedster the Blur uses his powers in ''Grounded'', the sound effect is "Sonic ''BOOM''!"
*
* Brazilian comic ''[[Monica's Gang]]'' has a huge slew of onomatopoeia, but a few enter this trope, such as "COICE" (Portuguese for horse kick) and "HOPPITY" (to which a character asks "[[No Fourth Wall|what kind of onomatopoeia is that?]]").
* In ''[[The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck]]'', "The Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark", our intrepid hero experiences the Krakatoa explosion firsthand (he did, however, stuff his ears full of cotton, which somehow worked). We are treated to a beautiful rendition of the explosion, but the sound-bubble only contains an asterisk. A note from the editor points out:
{{quote|In consideration of the fact that on August 27, 1883, the island of Krakatoa exploded with a force equivalent to 10,000 hydrogen bombs and produced the loudest noise in history, we deemed it wise to delete the sound effect to preserve the sanity (and ears) of our readers.}}
* The [[Wallace and Gromit]] comic ''Anoraknophobia'' had sound effects including "LOUD CLICK" and "DEEP GLOOM AND CONCERN".
* ''[[PS238]]'' has [http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/02022011/ ''MOOSE!'']
== Fan
* From ''[[Calvin and Hobbes: The Series|Calvin and Hobbes The Series]]'': '''UN-BOINK!''' <ref>the [[Me's a Crowd|Duplicator]] being reversed</ref>
* In the ''[[Sailor Moon]]''/''[[Ranma ½]]'' [[Fuku Fic|crossover]] ''[[Relatively Absent]]'', Luna (a talking cat) says "Um, meow?" when she realizes that Usagi's mother Ikuko has heard every word she said in a moment of panic.
* Similar to the ''Relatively Absent'' example, ''[[Isekai by Moonlight]]'' has Artemis be the one caught talking:
{{quote|Ichigo-san looked at Artemis. "Did you just say the word 'nyan' instead of purring?"
"Don't be silly..." Naru-san said,}}
:* It became a [[Brick Joke]] three chapters later:
{{quote|"Did you just say the word 'squee' instead of squeeing?" Artemis asked.
"Don't be silly," Ichigo-san replied with a grin.}}
== Film ==
Line 157 ⟶ 164:
* In the movie ''[[Despicable Me]]'', Gru [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud|actually says "Lightbulb" whenever he gets an idea]].
* [[Simon Pegg]]'s character in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' says "idea" when, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|coming up with an idea]]. Thanks to the numerous cop show references there are a number of instances of characters [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]].
* Being based on the 1960s live-action TV series, ''[[Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders]]'' uses Unsound Effects in its fight scenes, and adds a few new ones (including "Spork!" and "[[Zot!]]")
== Literature ==
Line 165 ⟶ 172:
== Live
* The "Bicycle Repairman" sketch from ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' has intertitle cards with effects like: "Screw!", "Bend!", "Inflate!", and "Alter Saddle!"
* The 1960s ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' TV series had sound effects in every fight scene, and always slipped a few unsounds in as well (e.g. "Sock!" or "Ouch!").
Line 171 ⟶ 178:
** ''[[The Avengers (TV series)|The Avengers]]'' also parodies this in "The Winged Avenger". At the end of the episode, Steed fights the villain by hitting him with poster-sized mockups of comic book panels, each containing a word like "Pow!" and "Splat!" Meanwhile, "Batman"-like music is playing in the background.
* When a piece of viewer mail on ''[[Attack of the Show!]]'' asked what kind of sound effect they would want to have if they were in a comic, Kevin Pereira admitted he would want the word "SKANK!" to pop up when he slapped someone in the face.
* ''[[The Muppet Show]]'' did a sketch entirely in action and spoken sound/unsound words. It started with a creature (possibly played by Animal{{verify}}) trudging through the wilderness while muttering "trudge trudge trudge" until it got interrupted by something flying past with a loud "FLY! FLY!" which made it stop and go "ponder... ponder... ponder..." as it, well, pondered the strange event. After this had happened a couple of times the wanderer lost its patience and went "fret foam" as it picked up a heavy stick, and the next time the flyer passed it got stopped by a massive SMASH SMASH!
* On ''[[The Tonight Show]]'', Conan O'Brien visits a Foley stage and makes his own sound effects, including a shout of "Throw baby!" when a character throws a baby.
* While the well-loved "Sound Effects" game in ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' tends to slip into [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]] instead, a recent session in ''[[Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza]]'' flies straight into this trope when one audience member, faced with voicing over ''flexing biceps'', actually goes "Magnificent!" and "Powerful!" for each arm. [[Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza/Funny|And flexing buttcheeks go "Beyonce!" for some reason.]]
** During one game of "Props", Wayne had to somehow mime being a lamp that was turned on. So he just simply said "ON!" loudly.
== Music ==
Line 188 ⟶ 194:
** Another strip has Linus telling Charlie Brown that it's "soppping wet" outside. Charlie Brown remarks "I think you mean sopping wet", followed by Snoopy walking in accompanied by sound effects of "SOPPP SOPPP SOPPP".
** In yet another strip, one of Snoopy's bird friends goes, "Gripe gripe gripe, complain complain complain, crab crab crab," after which Snoopy wonders, "If he doesn't like it, why does he go there every year?"
* One ''[[Bloom County]]'' featured the wonderfully memorable "{{
* A ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' strip has Calvin walking around in galoshes that go "galosh galosh galosh".
** In a school strip, the teacher asks Calvin to name the old capital of Poland, and hears him mutter, "KRAKOW! KRAKOW!" which happens to be the right answer but is really a sound effect from his [[Imagine Spot]] about Spaceman Spiff fighting aliens.

* [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] parodies the Adam West ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'' show's visual onomatopoeia in the second Batman episode. Visuals include ''[[Back to The Future|"Biff! Marty!"]]'', ''"Splash!"'', ''"Jugyiop!"'', ''[[Pac-Man|"Wakawaka!"]]'', and ''"FUCKBALLS!"''

[http://the-opt.com/?p=1229 This comic] has a very large unsound effect as a punchline.
* [http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com Flying Man and Friends] uses "scamper" as a sound effect in [https://web.archive.org/web/20110828074608/http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=373 this strip].
* ''[[Erfworld]]'', as pictured above. Also includes sound effects like "Warn", "Sweep", or even [https://web.archive.org/web/20130830161058/http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0120.html "redox"]. Interestingly, it avoids this trope more often than not, sometimes confusing readers as to what the sound effect represents. For example, some were unsure what "free-deep" was, until it was explained that it was a cricket chirp.
** Some of the comic's pop-culture references are written into sound effects (e.g. "NWOBHM"—New Wave Of British Heavy Metal).
** The joke of the '''PLOT''' effect is, of course, that it is ''also'' representing the sound of what's happening.
** Other sound effects include [https://web.archive.org/web/20130830170334/http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0139.html "YTMND," "NSFW," and "4CHAN."]
*** And the incantation for the spell that caused the "NSFW" sound effect was "[[Shock Site|Lemonparty, Tubgirl, Meatspin, Goatse]]." The epitome of NSFW sites.

** Both series use them to the point that an actual sound effect in either goes on to become pretty rare, and there's a running gag of "ka-something" sounds. "Ka-zap" eventually becomes "Ka-*effect here* " which is how "ka-girl" got started (and eventually became a verb. "Why am I always the one you ka-girl for a joke?") Eventually, you have stuff like "Ka-annoyed!" after too many transformations, and "Ka-meraderie!" when 32 tries to gloss over the fact that ''nobody'' believes she's the person she's standing in for by acting all chummy. The best is "ka-asking-for-it!"
