Unsound Effect: Difference between revisions

** Also, Gonterman's short-lived "Kitsune .44" gives us the infamous "[http://commuterbarnacle.com/gonterman/4413.html "AUTOMATIC MACHINE GUN FIRE!"], "[http://commuterbarnacle.com/gonterman/4415.html TAKE OFF...]", [http://commuterbarnacle.com/gonterman/4416.html "tap tap tappity tap tap and so on tap tappit"], "DISARM!" and "...HOLSTER" and one instance where a character ''[http://commuterbarnacle.com/gonterman/4419.html says ":-)"]''.

* ''[[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/2002-02-21 silence]''."

** And then there's [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-05-21 this strip]:

{{quote|'''Lieutenant:''' What are they going to do? [[Tempting Fate|Take a potshot through two layers of hullmetal]]?

'''''P O T S H O T'''''

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

** A ''demi''-sound effect: [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-03-07 De-ploytch]!

* [http://derwen.deviantart.com/art/The-Contest-72255448 This cartoon] from [[Deviant ART]] utilizes a lot of unsound effects, like *drink*, *belch*, *incredible loud belch*, and *crickets chirp*. Strangely, it also includes the best onomatopoeia for a power belch ever seen.

* Strip 12 of ''[http://www.atomictoy.org/comics/omfe/ OMFE]'' averts another trope by having an orbital cannon fire with a mighty "[[Space Is Noisy|NOSOUNDINSPACE]]"

* ''[[The Noob]]'' has [http://www.thenoobcomic.com/index.php?pos=306 "Zerg! Zerg! Zerg"] for an onrushing horde. [[Starcraft|Zerg rush, get it?]]

** That's not an unsound effect, but a battle cry. A particular (rather clueless) guild is ''named'' Z.E.R.G. (short for Zealot Elite Righteous Guardians). That, of course, is the joke.

** There's also '''CAPTURE''', '''Loot Loot''' and even '''MAIN PLOT HOOK!'''

* After several more conventional sound effects, the sound effect on the last panel on [http://www.drunkduck.com/Final_Blasphemy/index.php?p=128710 this] page gets a bit abstract.

* [http://taleotc.com/155 This] ''Tale of the Cave'' strip features insults hidden in the miss sound effects. Naturally, the protagonist shoots the sound effect guy. This is the only shot he has successfully made to date.

* ''[[Mac Hall]]'' had one strip where a human character in ''[[The Matrix]]'' universe who points out the film's plotholes is blasted by a laser gun, which makes the sound '''*VOIP!*'''. Not really an Unsound Effect...until one sees the strip immediately after, where one of the machines points out a plothole, and is blasted by a '''*VERY ADVANCED VOIP!*'''

* ''[[Friendly Hostility]]'' does this a lot. [http://friendlyhostility.com/d/20081231.html One strip] featured a character opening and then closing a sash window, with the sound effects *UUUUP* and *DOOOWN*.

** [http://friendlyhostility.com/d/20080123.html Another strip] simply used the effect "*sound of pants falling*". [[Not What It Looks Like|Not What It Sounds Like]], by the way.

* ''[[Skin Horse]]'' has "[http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-998/ SCYTHE!]"

* In ''[[Does Not Play Well With Others]]'', John Johnson, the muscle wizard, attacks with a [http://www.doesnotplaywellwithothers.com/comics/pwc-0169 Ka-Fist!].
