Unsound Effect: Difference between revisions

[[File:erf-plot229x247.jpg|link=Erfworld|frame|The plot thickens - or strikes - in Erfworld.]]

[[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.|''[[Digger]]''}}

** We also got LOOOOOOOOM for bad guys looking [[Badass]] followed by a much smaller <small>LOOOOM</small> for the good guys trying to but not managing it.

* ''[[A Lollipop or A Bullet]]'' features a non-humorous in-universe example when [[New Transfer Student|newly-arrived]] [[Strange Girl]] Umino Masachika introduces herself to the class:

'''Nonplussed Student:''' She actually said "Bow"! }}

* By the fourth episode of ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'', the sound effects have branched out into unusual territory. "Nice Dunk!", "Muffin Top", and "Red Carpet" (yeah...) are just a few examples.

** At least one scanlator translated the sound made by Madara teleporting to some place as "appear".'

** Deidara's explosions are always preceded by '''Yeeaagh!''' in the English manga. This lends itself to a [[Woolseyism]] when some of his bombs land near Tobi:

* ''[[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]'' once had Kenichi outlining to a bunch of delinquents exactly why being a delinquent was a bad lifestyle choice, punctuated with the words "SOUND ARGUMENT!" dramatically appearing at the end of his speech.

* Misaki's "INDIRECT KISS!" in ''[[Junjou Romantica]]''

* 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:

* The [[Wallace and Gromit]] comic ''Anoraknophobia'' had sound effects including "LOUD CLICK" and "DEEP GLOOM AND CONCERN".

* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'': Schlock's signature plasgun charges up with the sound effect "Ommmminous hummmm....". On one occasion where it's broken and he tries to fire it, the (lack of) sound effect is "Ominous ''[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20020221.html silence]''."

** And then there's [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20080521.html this strip]:

'''''P O T S H O T'''''<br />

'''Corporal:''' Correction. Two layers of hullmetal and one lieutenant. }}

** Unsound Effects are practically a [[Running Gag]] at this point; they show up in nearly every episode.

** The words written on the "Poof" clouds when Cosmo and Wanda (actually any magic-using character, actually) does something with magic are usually related to a wish or another event. Norm the Genie, on the other hand, only has "GONG!". The Pixies have "PING!", as well. Unsound effects show up a great deal in the Crimson Chin comics, which of course are parodies of normal superhero comics, which love this trope.

** The best comes from the opening cutscene of a videogame, where Cosmo summons up Da Rules with the "Poof" cloud [[MacGuffin|"PLOT DEVICE!"]]

* Appearances by Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy on ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' often use these as part of their being a Batman spoof: "HANG UP!" "SIT!" "WINK!"

* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Party of One", Applejack and her friends are up to something in the barn at Sweet Apple Acres, and keeping it a secret from Pinkie Pie. Applejack tells a skeptical Pinkie that they're doing renovations, and has the other girls make construction noises in the background... which includes Twilight Sparkle shouting "Safety gear!" and Rainbow Dash saying "Drill, drill!"

* The "Good Manners with Max" shorts on the old Playhouse Disney block always began like this:

'''Banjo:''' Bark! }}

* ''[[Family Guy]]'' got in on the act with a '60s Batman cutaway reference, with [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|four "Teabag!" exclamations]] directly following Peter standing over a knocked out Riddler.
