Line 354:
** The "chief" character's warning came too late, it seems, as someone already made a move and got trashcanned, while the "vixen" is now blowing a bubble of chewing gum. The rest of the comic goes directly into "I Am Not Making This Up" territory (and in several places, makes me wish for some kind of mind/eye bleach).
** 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]''."
** A lot of older strips have TERAPORT! - what it sounds like is described [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2001-11-25 here].
** 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://www.schlockmercenary.com/2000-08-13 SPRIINT]... [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2006-05-17 {{small-caps|squib.}}] And "[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2011-07-10 ABLATE]" (as the sound of ablative armor popping apart).
** So it goes on. [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2014-11-18 {{small-caps|DISMOUNT}}]. [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2015-01-31 SHRUBBERY].
** During the Urtheep hot mess: an unsuspecting technician ran into some scary ''[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2017-07-03 DISCREPANCIES!]'' in inventory (see the previous page for what a "missing" suborned [[Do-Anything Robot]] was busy rigging). A more complex one [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2017-07-05 here]: there's BOOM, and under it is a shadow of [[There Was a Door|DOOR]]. [[Chekhov's Gun|C H E K H O V !]] (it was, indeed, [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2017-01-15 said] that this gun was in the initial project, but ditched in mass production version of the ship, in part because it's really good only at short range... so, of course, they had to use it [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2017-07-23 at point-blank range]).
** In the All-Star [[Virtual Reality]], when a high-ranking administrator caught Evvin on trying to impress the new arrivals as a mountain-sized tree god, it resulted in "BONSAI!" and "*blossom*".
* [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.
