Or, if you will, "Unomatopoeia." In comics and shows emulating comics, we'll see words which indicate the action taking place. "Bash!" and "Kick!", for example, just happen to sound a bit like the impacts they're describing. They are almost, but not quite Written Sound Effects. Some authors will just bypass the whole "sounds like" thing and use words for the action in loud capital letters. "Glare!" "Leap!" "Flourish!" and even "Idea!" This is the Unsound Effect. It's a humorous technique, although it is also seen in fight scenes. ("Block!" "Slash!") This is usually attributed to Richie Rich in the original Harvey Comics versions, which lasted from the 1950s to the 1980s. They included such effects as "BOUNCE!" for large rubber balls impacting a hard surface, and went on to "EXPAND!" when Richie utilized one of Prof. Keenbean's Applied Phlebotinum devices meant to go from pocket-size miniature tool/vehicle/etc. to full-size. It's worth noting that manga has different conventions for use of non-spoken words, some of which aren't even meant as onomatopoeia. Japanese writers will use them to represent more abstract events like "smiling" ("niko niko", or just "ni!", or extended to "nikkori"), "sudden realization" ("ha"), "silence" ("shiiiiiiin"), "menacing atmosphere" ("gogogo"), "staring" ("jiiiiiiiiii") or even "blushing" ("kaaaaa"). These are known as phenomimes when they describe external phenomena and psychomimes when they describe psychological states (both can be referred to in Japanese as gitaigo, lit. "mimetic words", since they mimetize such cases). Some anime, generally the more surreal sort, turn these into actual sound effects or have a character say them aloud (like, for example, the character will actually say "jiiiiiiii" when staring at somebody). And sometimes, the unsound effect isn't even written. A Super-Deformed version of the character in the margin, a mascot, an animal, or other living thing in the background will say or represent the character's feelings. Related to Editorial Synaesthesia. See also Visible Silence, the Unsound Effect for no sound; and Sound Defect for real sounds that go wrong. When this occurs in-universe it's Saying Sound Effects Out Loud. |

One particular fan translation of Made in Abyss is infamous for using bizarrely literal translations of sound effects (such as "loli spilling noises", "struggling to poop quietly", and "rumble of scientific triumph") even in serious or dramatic scenes. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) had unsound effects in the early days before they went down the toilet. Two that stand out are "RABOOM" and "ROBOOMNIK". Guess who was getting blown up on those occasions. Came back in Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Collide when Drs. Wily and Eggman give each other an Evil Bro Fist◊. |

Averted in an issue of the 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. The same thing happened when the Thing punched Sandman into his component particles while both were underwater. Played straight during Walt Simonson's run on Thor, with effects such as "SHATTER!" and "DOOM!" |

The 1960s Batman (1966) TV series is technically the Trope Codifier (as noted in the below Space Ghost: Coast to Coast entry), with sound effects in every fight scene, and always slipped a few unsounds in as well (e.g. "Sock!" or "Ouch!"). | |

The Ranma ½ manga is lousy with the "Boot" onomatopoeia for whenever someone gets punted into the sky by a Megaton Kick. Ironically enough, NONE of the characters in the series, with the exception of Ryoga, ever wear boots. We also got LOOOOOOOOM for bad guys looking badass followed by a much smaller LOOOOM for the good guys trying to but not managing it. |

In 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 "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!" |

The manga MPD Psycho employs this trope in both humorous and straight forms, for instance, when Amamiya's glasses gleam with light, the other characters swear they can hear the "shing" noise that results. An example of the serious form of the trope in action is the "dokun" or "kadoom" noise that indicates Amamiya's personality changing. | |

Sluggy Freelance: ILLUMINATE PLEASANTLY Also: "wallet" (for mugging) and of course "lower da boom". Overall the unsound effects in Sluggy Freelance vary on a scale between humorous and action-explicating; these often overlap, such as in "stabbity stabbity STAB" being used for three consecutive attempts at stabbing the same target that keeps moving out of the way. Of course, the line to sound effects isn't entirely straightforward either. Ahem! May I present: Hugamundo! "CREEPY ORGAN MUSIC BUILDING TO CRESCENDOOOOOOOOOOO" "Spla-taminate!" "Sound-effect-representing-one's-spleen-being-shoved-through-an-eye-socket" "HASSELHOFF!" Parodied: "POUND POUND POUND lb." |

In the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Batmantis", Space Ghost notes the presence of word balloons out of the 1960s Batman series: "Oh, look! Shoot a ray, and you get a word." He then produces word balloons reading "Obvious Parody!", then at Zorak's prompting "Insipid!", "Kenny Rogers!", and three paragraphs of unreadably-small text offering a humorous explanation of the theory of evolution. | |

The Simpsons once parodied the 1960s Batman series with a similarly campy Radioactive Man show set in the same time period, complete with unsound effects such as "MINT!", "NEWT!" and "SNUH!" (the latter being the acronym name of Marge's organisation against cartoon violence from the earlier episode "Itchy, Scratchy and Marge"). | |

Himouto! Umaru-chan has "UMARU~UN", which seems to be the sound of Umaru being beautiful/graceful/perfect. The Animated Adaptation adds to it by having Umaru's voice actress Aimi Tanaka saying the effect, and occasionally using it as something of a transformation sound when she changes from "Indoor Umaru" to "Outdoor Umaru". | |

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. 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. |

Looney Tunes: The short "Now Hear This" climaxes with a gigantic explosion, accompanied by the words "GIGANTIC EXPLOSION" appearing onscreen, probably one of the most unimaginative onomatopoeia ever devised. Rule of Funny, of course. It was used again◊ in the Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner short "Soup or Sonic", to cap off the penultimate scene. When Bugs first sees the spaceship in "The Hasty Hare", he says "Gulp!" |

Naruto: The manga has "DREAMY!". At least one scanlator translated the sound made by Tobi 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: |

(during Shining Armor's attempts to sabotage Buck Withers) and "Bonding!" (between Cadance and a young Twilight Sparkle). Issue 2 of the micro-series contains sounds effects like "FAIL!", "FACE!" and "BROHOOF!". Issue 6 of the micro-series has Big Macintosh throwing a net over the Sass Squash accompanied by "NET SOUND!" |

For Better or for Worse is in love with this trope—partly because every other Sunday strip is mostly silent, save for the Unsound Effects flying all over the place. One panel where the family dog was eating something was accompanied by *gobble snarf eat*. Another, dealing with Elly's frustrations with a fax/copier, had UNPLUG, although the design of the balloon made it ambiguous whether that was a sound effect or Elly loudly vocalizing the action as a form of venting. |

Calvin and Hobbes: One strip has Calvin walking around in galoshes that go "galosh galosh galosh". In a school strip, Susie 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. Yet another involves Calvin asking Hobbes to go spelunking. When Hobbes points out that there are no caves nearby, Calvin takes him to a lake and they proceed to drop rocks into the water... which make a "spelunk" sound effect. The Scientific Progress Goes "Boink" arc lampshades this with the sound the duplicator makes. |

There is a Garfield comic where Garfield is unscrewing a saltshaker with the sound effect *unscrew* hanging in midair. It's unclear how that sounds any different from just plain ol' screwing. Pictured here◊ is the sound effect hammer, which is what Jon is using on a really long nail. A really early strip showed Jon dialing on a rotary telephone, the sounds of him operating the rotary mechanism were *dial dial dial*. |

Discworld Gaspode, a talking dog says 'woof'. Due to a near-universal Weirdness Censor, this mostly just makes people look at him funny. And there's a recurring theme in Discworld of words for the sounds that things would make if they did make a sound except that they don't. These are usually associated with reflected light, and for some reason usually begin with "gl." "Glint," "gleam," and "glisten" are given as examples. |

Nerf NOW!! likes this trope: It gives us "ZEEEERGLINGS" for the sound of Zerglings, er, being Zerglings. And loving it. There's also CAPTURE, Loot Loot and even MAIN PLOT HOOK! 'Dakka' is a favorite go-to onomatopoeia for gunfire, but it's never been quite as literal as BULLET BULLET BULLET BULLET. |

The Muppet Show did a sketch entirely in action and spoken sound/unsound words. It started with a creature (possibly played by Animal) 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! | |

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja: Dr McN jumps on a motorbike driven by a ninja and whispers something in his ear to creep him out and throw him off the bike. The resulting sound effect is "CREEPED OUT ENOUGH TO BE THROWN EASILY FROM THE BIKE". This is then Lampshaded in the Alt Text which reads "Oh come on. That is not a real sound effect at all." SICKNASTY! Also, BUTT PUNCH. CEASE AND DESISTED! Played with left to right and back to front here. WHCRUNCHnote Weird that the motorcycle guy landed right where Doc had painted WHCRUNCH in his parking lot. Because that's probably exactly what it sounded like. MAGIC! Followed by the Alt Text admission "I uh... I couldn't figure out a sound effect." EXECUTIVE POWER! "Other sound effect choices included "HIGHEST OFFICE IN THE LAND." CLONE! "Wait, stop hitting me for a second. Did that punch make a weird sound to you?" |

Ayakashi Triangle: In the English version, Mei teleporting from shadow is given the sound effect "voom", and the Extreme Close-Up of her breasts in the next panel "va-voom".

Homestuck: "Egg!" Lampshaded (uh, sort of) a little later, when the Peregrine Mendicant hears "EGG" and comments that "it almost sounded like a huge egg appeared in the sky and landed, and then someone mysterious teleported out of it." ...try. Inverted with PCHOOOOO, which John believes is a blast-off rocket sound effect, but it's actually the captcha code for the rocket pack. Due to Homestuck's animated nature, it mostly doesn't need sound effects. Any that show up are for humourous effect. Meaning this trope. UNSURPRISING DEVELOPMENT GENUINE DISTRESS! "WHALE!" followed quickly by "FISHFOOD" "STRONGJUMP!" as well as "RUIN!" When Tavros is finally shown falling down a flight of stairs, the effect is simply "HAPPEN" and later when Karkat falls down with Sollux, it's "HAPPEN 2x... COMBOB"]. Rose has used "distaction" [sic]. "DEAD." is a pretty spectacular example, along with a continuation of the comic's tradition of emoticon soundeffects. And again, now accompanied by a "KO'D." And again. And again, and again, and again, and again. (Obviously, major spoilers in all the links.) "HOPESPLODE!" There were also a few "ROBOSPLODE"! around. "CLOCK" is used when Cans literally punches Diamonds Droog into next week, and then punches Hearts Boxcars into a different calender entirely. What sound does breaking a magic sorry we mean "science" wand make? "DEBUNK!" of course! In Act 5, Karkat surmises that stabbing is how Jack Noir greets people. Jack later stabs Dream Jane with "greet." One of the more frequent uses is "+ify" for something being appearified and "-ify" for something being sendificated. When Dirk is drawing smut on Caliborn's request, after a "cop"◊ we are given the immortal "uncop"◊. John's adventure through Caliborn's horrible drawings in A6A6A2 gives us "HORSE ACCIDENT.". Yes, the period is part of the sound effect. In [S] Game Over, the fight between John and Caliborn is riddled with them, to hilarious effects. E%AMPLE HAPPEN! is particularly popular, especially around stairs, as a reference to the Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff meme "It keeps happening!"◊ |

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 also has plenty of these. For instance: *Petrified babble* *The lonliest whimper* *A squeal so pure and childlike, reminiscent of a simpler time to which we can never truly return* Many variations on *Thinking Sounds* This is all probably inspired by the (Japan-only) Puyo Puyo!! Quest's (one of the few games in the series without extensive voice acting) use of equally bizarre gitaigo, something which is sometimes even pointed out by Ringo in-universe. |

The Order of the Stick: In an early strip, Belkar says he could probably sunder Elan's sword just by talking too loudly. Shortly after, they get spotted by a chimera, and Belkar exclaims "DAMN IT!", and Elan's rapier breaks in two, the sound effect being written as "sunder". Pierce! Slash! Bludgeon! Sneak! AOO! is the sound effect for an attack of opportunity, apparently. Smooch! Grope! Quarter! Nuts! is used to indicate a Groin Attack. Apparently, Eee! Eee! Eee! Eee! is the sound of someone being stabbed in the shower. FTTH! is the sound of someone getting a Foot to the Head. Also, SCHTUTH! may or may not stand for something similar. Deflect! Unfurl! Thjunk! Swinganamiss! Stabbing a giant crustacean sounds like Shishkabob! In an intensely spoileriffic page, apparently the sound effect of someone overcoming a Dominate spell is "Snapoutta!". |

Schlock Mercenary: Schlock's signature plasgun charges up with the sound effect "Ommmminous hummmm...." — first appearing in the first strip. On one occasion where it's broken and he tries to fire it, the (lack of) sound effect is "Ominous silence." The second strip had "Ssssssinissster sssssstreeetch" when a doctor was putting on gloves for a cavity search. And then there's this strip: Or this one. Squib! A lot of older strips have TERAPORT! - what it sounds like is described here. BLAM BLAM KA-JAM. And "ABLATE" as the sound of ablative armor popping apart. A demi-sound effect: De-ploytch! When close air-support needs to adjust their aim you get a DISTANT BOOM. What is the sound of blocking a door with a tree? SHRUBBERY! In a simulated environment, the sound of a giant god-tree simulation being cut down to size is "BONSAI!" It then gets turned into a flower and effectively muzzled with a "BLOSSOM" effect. Sometimes they're used in response to, or as an Ironic Echo of, dialogue or narration: a comment about "discrepancies" leads to a "DISCREPANCIES!" sound effect when the shooting starts, and when the narration refers to battlefields as "ordinary places whose scheduled uses get interrupted by battles," the sound of Cynthetic Certainty opening up with its lighter weapons is written as "INTERRUPTION!" The first use of Cynthetic Certainty has a appropriate sound effect. |

xkcd dabbles with this occasionally. "Perl!" is used for some heroic programming (with regular expressions). This strip has an entire series of them. This strip has "park" as a sound effect. This strip features "release", "squeeze" and "radiate" as sound effects. The sound made by radiating heat is left up to imagination. |

MAD, illustrating the reality of a six-man utility crew - one guy digging a hole (accompanied by the sound effect "dig") while the other five are in various states of leisure (accompanied by "eat", "siiiip", "snooze", "hang out", and "read".) Another comic features a massive five-way collision accompanied by "HORRENDOUS UNSPELLABLE SOUND EFFECT!" Wally Wood once told a detective story entirely in pictures and exaggerated sound effects (with a couple of unsounds). All the murder victims produced the same sequence of AAAARGH!..THUD...BOUNCE BOUNCE and, in the first case the guy who had been shot rounded off with a quiet BLEED BLEED. The detective was quite mystified by the screams until he realized that the killer was one Joe Aaaargh, alias Joe Eeeech, alias Joe Uuuuugh. The Don Martin strips were famous for featuring bizarre sound effects like "wugga wugga!", "zit, zit, swizap!" or simply "fump!". Don Martin's Captain Klutz goes after a mad bomber in one story, with explosion sound effects "POWM", "BROON", "PLOOM", "FLOON", "FAKKAK", "KASH-SPLINTER", "FAGLOOM", and finally "reader's note: write in your own terrifying sound effect here." One article played with this by claiming some companies' names were derived from this, like the sound of a jet's engine falling off and bouncing with a BOEING!, or a certain meat product falling out of the can and hitting the person's foot with a SPAM! |

Sonichu uses this regularly. Often they are based on Pokémon moves since most of the characters are Pokémon, but there's also *CUTS VINES*, *TELEPORTS IN*, *CRASH TO GRASS*, and *MAKES GUN DO A 180*, among others. Lampshaded in the audiobooks when Dethchemist describes a character as using "TELEPORTS IN." | |

Grrl Power has a lot, due to Dave B. enjoying the concept of "nonomatopoeia" GIBBS! (for a Shout-Out to NCIS' Dope Slap) When Achilles headbutts a tank: ZIDANE! Reference here. Later on there's the memorable "KA-PANTS" after a villain's Hulk-out has a predictable reaction to his garments. A large number in a small space of time in this strip. When a werewolf assumes his true form And of course "FABRIC OF THE VERY UNIVERSE TORN ASUNDER" when exactly that happens. |

User Friendly had some 'interesting' sounds for coffee brewing: "sizzle", "congeal", "fold proteins", "curdle", "sprout". Of course, given that previous coffee-brewing efforts have intentionally created a brew that has the properties of Xenomorph acid-for-blood and one that was made with parts of Hastur, this may indicate a success. In another strip, when someone was writing a program to trick someone else, the Unsounds were 'Code Plot Plan' as he was typing. |

Lucky Star also has "ira-ira" appear as Kagami gets progressively more irritated with Tsukasa's attempts at texting. Tsukasa goes into lala-land about something, and she actually makes the sound "kira-kira" while her eyes twinkle. (This might even have been preserved in the English dub, with "twinkle-twinkle".) In the dub, Kagami starts reading a new manga that Konata had just handed to her, getting more and more drawn in as she reads on. Konata just stands there, waiting for a reaction, all while saying "Staaaaaaaaaaaaare~". It even intensifies as she "Staaaaaaaaaaaare~'s" in a higher octave. |

Amerimanga Ninja High School has used literal sound effects from the beginning of its run. They do sort of mirror manga's onomonepetic effects, but Ben Dunn has admitted he got the idea from Richie Rich. One example: a character lifts a huge tree out of the ground, to the sound of *UPROOT* The Time Traveling schoolteacher whisks a cloth away from her time machine: REVEAL! Also, two girls ponder a question with the effects: THINK THINK THINK THINK. |

Girl Genius has had lots of fun with these: One of Gil's inventions is the Hand Cranked Runcible Gun, which makes the sound "Spork! Spork! Spork!" as it fires... Sporks. Boot! Boot! Boot! Agatha hits Zola in the head with a large book (entitled "Using Found Objects as Weapons"), resulting in the sound effect "TOME!" Mechanicsburg's Doom Bell has the appropriate sound effect for its' effect on people. Othar searches in the remains of a crashed clank to the sound effect of Rummage Rummage. Ironic Shining Light of Doom! Violence! Mangle! Dismember! "RAIL!", the sound of being shot by a rail gun. "COSH!" is the sound of Martellus mysteriously falling uncouncious as if struck down by an invisible hand. |

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: | |

Axe Cop uses them; in "Axe Cop Gets Married", the fight with the final boss involves him transforming around into different forms, and all get their own written sound effects or unsound effects like "VINE!" (when he transforms into a plant), but when he transforms into a house with big long legs, even unsound effects fail and we get "?!?!!". | |

Having a sound for silence can actually be done quite seriously. In the Death Note episode entitled "Silence", a prominent scene combines a "shiiiin" noise with Muted Soundtrack, to great effect. (Along with For Doom the Bell Tolls, and Ominous Latin Chanting, and Red Filter of Doom, because Death Note is melodramatic even when it's not given a decent excuse to be.) | |

The anime versions of Pani Poni Dash!, Lucky Star, Hayate the Combat Butler, DD Fist of the North Star, Ōkami-san and Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei have all used "staring" ("jiiiiiiiiii") as a vocalised sound effect, in SZS's case as a Running Gag. Russia does this too in one episode of the anime of Hetalia: Axis Powers - as in, he actually says "jiiiiiii..." while staring at someone. A second later, he does it again, only louder. The other character looks severely uncomfortable by this point. Also in SZS, when The Voiceless Meru types abusive messages with her cell phone, we hear the sound "Meru Meru". The later seasons of SZS have all of the sound effects written on screen and read out loud with a humorously monotone, bored-sounding voice. Lucky Star also has "ira-ira" appear as Kagami gets progressively more irritated with Tsukasa's attempts at texting. Tsukasa goes into lala-land about something, and she actually makes the sound "kira-kira" while her eyes twinkle. (This might even have been preserved in the English dub, with "twinkle-twinkle".) In the dub, Kagami starts reading a new manga that Konata had just handed to her, getting more and more drawn in as she reads on. Konata just stands there, waiting for a reaction, all while saying "Staaaaaaaaaaaaare~". It even intensifies as she "Staaaaaaaaaaaare~'s" in a higher octave. |

Not used in Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but for whatever reason is very frequent in the wave 4 DLC's cutscenes - where their contents are more like parentheticals that were just in the script for voice direction. Examples include but are not limited to: (panting, running for dear life) (sigh of relief) (gasp of realization) This one in particular appears in the subtitles for such a short amount of time that it's unreadable in the first place. (resigned sigh) (offended breath) |

Another strip simply used the effect "*sound of pants falling*". Not What It Sounds Like, by the way. "*The Sound of Clothing Dropping at a Rapid Speed*", "*unbutton unbutton unbutton* ".

An odd example occurs during the torture sequence of Audition due to a trait of the Japanese language. When Asami is inserting acupuncture needles under Aoyama's eyes, she coos, "Kiri kiri kiri kiriiii", which is Japanese onomatopoea for sharp pain. note The subtitles for different languages translate this line in different ways, including "deeper deeper" and "cut cut". The German subtitles use "killekille", a good phonetic match that also translates to "tickle tickle", matching her playful tone. | |

Frequently used in Twisted Toyfare Theatre. Examples include Spider-Man running across some assorted Beanie Baby animals. They make sounds like "Moo. Moo.", "Me-mew. Me-mew.", "Quack. Quack." and "Kangaroo sound. Kangaroo sound.". And when he gets them to stampede, it's "Angry Moo! Moo!", "Angry Baa! Baa!" and "Angry kangaroo sound! Angry kangaroo sound!". 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!" |

The Touhou Project fancomic Touhou Nekokayou often uses these to compensate for the fact that it's hard to show actions in create.swf, i.e. "ready to pounce," or even for exposition, i.e. the same strip also has "was just faking it." KER-SLAMUEL! And now, JOKE STOLEN VERBATIM! Is that sOWNED~ |

One segment from AMV Hell 4 involved a Paranoia Agent / Batman mash-up. In it, Shonen Bat/Lil' Slugger is beating down people with his bat, with the typical Written Sound Effect staples seen in Adam West's Batman. The last one of the bunch (it's very briefly seen; you have to be quick to catch it) is OMGWTF!. The clip was titled "Shonen Batman". | |

The Fairly OddParents!: Unsound Effects are practically a Running Gag at this point; they show up in nearly every episode. It once has "Replacement hamster!" as a Written Sound Effect. For someone being punched: HURT! The words written on the "Poof" clouds when Cosmo and Wanda (or any other magic-using character) 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 The Fairly OddParents: Breakin' da Rules, where Cosmo summons up Da Rules with the "Poof" cloud "PLOT DEVICE!" |

Questionable Content creator Jeph Jacques uses these quite frequently. Notable and amusing examples include: The reviving effects of CAFFEINE! (also pictured◊ in Must Have Caffeine) are shown in this Questionable Content strip. In one guest comic Jacques drew, the characters of Niego walk into Coffee of Doom and are promptly assaulted by Raven with a chair, with the Unsound Effect of "CHAIR!" and "CHAIR AGAIN!" as they're beat upon. It would appear that SCORN! seems to have a corporeal form. Dancing is emphasized by the dancing sounds..."DANCE DANCE". The caption suggests this is less about humor and more about making sure the readers know she's dancing. Library carts move to the sound of Trundle Trundle. "ASS GRAB!" Now we have "POWER HUG!" This strip has the caption "[broom broom broom]". A gelatinous AI manifested with the sound "GLOOP," which is reasonable, but when she was then reabsorbed, it went "POOLG." |

As mentioned above, this is par for the course in anime and manga due to cultural differences, but the official subtitles for the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime dove into this territory by translating the already memetic ã‚´ã‚´ã‚´ (GO GO GO, "rumble" or "dramatic tension") as "[MENACING]". And let's not forget the Duwang Translation Trainwreck. |

In an early (1950s-era) Peanuts strip, Charlie Brown is perplexed when Lucy tosses a pebble into a pond with a "ker-SPLASH!", and Linus jumps into a pile of leaves with a "ker-LEAF!". There was also one about how Snoopy doesn't like to be scratched on the head; he prefers to be "skritched." Sure enough, when Schroeder works his fingers on Snoopy's head, the sound is "Skritch skritch skritch." Another strip has Linus telling Charlie Brown that it's "soppping wet" (notice the 3 "p"s) 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?" A 1962 strip has Snoopy playing "polkas, schottisches and waltzes" on the accordion — as in, literally making the accordion produce those words. |

The Incredible Hercules no longer even tries to have standard sound effects. Instead, the sound of an impressive punch to the face is WHATAMANNN, a dragon's firebreath goes SMAAAAAAAAAUG and an attack aimed squarely at the opponent's nipples is represented with a bright purple NURP. Arguably the best sound effect ever: Hercules smashing a wall while impersonating Thor: GODDATHUNDAA! Herculesnote still impersonating Thor punching Thornote the actual Thor, now impersonating Hercules in the face in mid-sentence: SUKKAPUNCH! Thor giving as good as he gets: BACKATCHA! Their EPIC battle reaching a suitably EPIC conclusion: NUHHKKRACK!note followed by a HWWWWEDGIE for good measure Hercules backhanding someone: BICHSLAPP! Hercules flinging The Sentry upwards by his cape: N-TU-DASUNNN! Sisyphus' boulder respawning in front of him: Sisy-poof! The sequel miniseries, Prince of Power, carries on the grand tradition with getting chucked into a table being IKKKEA!, among others. |

In Team Fortress 2, scoring a Critical Hit on an enemy causes CRITICAL HIT!!! to appear over his head. These are only visible to the player responsible. Subsequent updates have added "MINI CRIT" (from the Jarate and Buff Banner), "MISS" (from Bonk), and "YIKES!" (being scared by the ghost in the Halloween event map. When wearing the Tin Soldier costume, the Soldier will act like a robot. This includes going "beep boop" when firing his weapon, or sometimes just saying the phrase "Robot noises!" This Saxton Hale comic has sound effects that include "BRAVE JUMP" and "FLAWLESS ROLL" The Mac Update features PROPERTY DAMAGE! And BRAVE PRESS and A BOLD NEW PLAN!. Saxton Hale uses this trope a lot. If Saxton Hale says that "PROPERTY DAMAGE" is a sound effect, it IS a sound effect. If you want to question this fact, Saxton Hale will gladly demonstrate. NEMESIS KICK! Not even Saxton's ancestor Barnabus is immune to this. COUGAR! The Smissmass Update also brings us COMPOUND ELEVATED SKULL FRACTURE. With a Saxton Hale figurine. UNDISGUISED! and EXPLOSIPUNCH! in "A Fate Worse than Chess". NON-ROBOTIC SHUFFLING SOUND! "Robotic Boogaloo" offers *TIME-TRAVEL SOUND* and *TIME-TRAVEL SOUND AGAIN*. Taken to utterly ridiculous levels in Unhappy Returns with these: BORING MORAL CHOICE! Whenever Soldier snaps someone's neck in the comics, it's always accompanied by a NECK SNAP. In the one instance where he felt guilty about it, Soldier undid his violence by reverse-snapping a man's neck, with the sound effect NECK FIX. |

Doctor Who comics have had a variety of onomatopoeia for the TARDIS, of which the most famous is Doctor Who Magazine's "VWORP! VWORP!" At least one of the comedy strips, however, used Terrence Dicks's stock description "a strange wheezing groaning sound" as a sound effect. | |

Dick Tracy has had some very strange sound effects such as "sqlud" for Dick getting hit in the face, "qwink" for a machine powering down, and "qlunq" for a briefcase hitting Dick in the head. "Qlunq" is particularly odd, as it could have been written simply as "clunk", which is a real word. |

Pens in the Pearls Before Swine world make "write write write" and "scribble scribble scribble" sounds when used. The creator, Stefan Pastis, admits to this bit of creative license in the book commentaries. At least in the early days of the strip, there would also be "sound" effects such as "run run run run" and "hurl!" |

When the townspeople of South Park get upset, they form a mob and just yell "RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!" Which was once lampshaded by the mayor when she responded by asking the crowd how they thought standing around yelling "RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE" was going to help. Another episode, "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow", parodies it by having a group simply repeat "peas and carrots!" to simulate shocked murmuring. |

Erfworld includes sound effects like "PLOT", "Warn", "Sweep", or even "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 "YTMND," "NSFW," and "4CHAN." And the incantation for the spell that caused the "NSFW" sound effect was "Lemonparty, Tubgirl, Meatspin, Goatse." The epitome of NSFW sites. And someone was killed by the sound effect RROD referring to the Red Rings of Death. The greatly amusing HEISMAN! |

The Wotch and its spinoff Cheer! do this heavily, with examples such as: *Ka-girl* *open*, *swap*, *stare*, *harm*, *regress*, *swap*, *gravity*, *vertical ascent*, *tie up*, *disguise*, *not there*, *...psyche* , and many more. Yes, with the asterisks. 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!" "Pretty Cosmic Crystal Rainbow Overhead Smash!" "1812 Overture'd" |

Sandra on the Rocks: We're not allowed to see the action from the ultra-violent version of the "Carmen Chamelia" videogame; instead, we get the appropriately descriptive "SLASH! STAB! SPURT!"

The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob! makes frequent use of this trope. Space explosions are depicted as "SILENT KABOOM!" A breaking window, of course, has the sound "DEFENESTRATE!" A deflected borfomite beam "careens off into deep space..." The strip coined the word "Ninj!" as the official Sound of Silence, representing the silence produced by a ninja. So, an exploding spaceship can now have the sound effect "NINJ!" in big block letters. What sound does a falling pie make? |

Homestar Runner: Teen Girl Squad comics do this a lot, with such sound effects as "Children!" "MSG'd!" "Weirded Out!" "Late 360 Shove-It to Boneless'd!" and the immortal "POSSUMS..." The Strong Bad E-mail "bike thief" had Strong Bad dress up as a bush while stealing Pom Pom's bike. Upon being noticed, he starts staying "Bush. Bush. Leaves. Branch. Um... Berries." This gets repeated in a Easter Egg when Homestar (dressed as a trash can) tries stealing the Lappy: The Strong Bad Email "shapeshifter" has Strong Bad's "cool trademark sound effect" of Dwayne! One of the "sound based" cereals mentioned in "specially marked" is "Sugar-Rittled Gunshots in a Crowded Mall". A Teen Girl Squad segment in "love poems" brings us "SHAKESPEARED!". The website's "file not found" error page features 404'd!!! In the "dictionary" SBEmail we have "Hurl!" and "Tooth!", which are actually SAID by Strong Bad and Homestar respectively. |

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: By the fourth episode, the Gratuitous English sound effects have branched out into unusual territory. It just escalates from there on. A crowning example occurs in Episode 11: Panty is channel-surfing, and while we can't see the TV, we can see the Written Sound Effects that each channel produces. The first channel goes "Blah Blah Blah," the second channel goes "Yak Yak Yak," and the third channel (clearly porn by the sound) goes "A Cock Sucker." |

The Negima! Magister Negi Magi manga does this a lot. Of course, this is probably due to the translators being very faithful to the original; During a silent scene you'll see the giant "shiiiin" kana with tiny English "the sound of silence" written underneath. There's also a "Pettanko" sound effect when Anya first sees Yue and Nodoka. When Negi goes all out the Kanji for "Destruction" appears when he hits someone. Sometimes even the characters seem to hear or read those unsounds. |

Goblins uses this in some of the Tempts Fate side comics. TELEPORT NOISE! (Possibly "BAMF") is used in TF 5. In the next TF, it reappears with a different comment: TELEPORT NOISE (As per the order of Marvel Comics Legal Department, the noise is most definitely not "BAMF", nor is it "SNIKT" or "THWIP".)

In Fire Emblem: Awakening, Comically Serious Lon'qu combines this with Saying Sound Effects Out Loud when he plays house with Nowi. In fact, pretty much all Fire Emblem games have this, such as "NO DAMAGE!," which is shown when a character's defence stat completely nullifies an attack, and "MISS," which appears when you miss. |

During an undersea episode early in the Sgt. Frog anime, Keroro's platoon accidentally fire several torpedos at a city on the bottom of the sea. He hopes they all miss, but...they all hit. All of them. Direct hits too. The platoon's reaction can only be described as "Atmosphere of Oh Shit". In one chapter of the manga, Kululu decides to shake his team-mates out of a streak of complacency by brain-washing their friends and forcing them to fight. Fuyuki offers to face Keroro in a riddle contest instead, to which Keroro responds "Alright, but I should warn you, Master Fuyuki, I filibuster all riddles!" As the other members of the Keroro Platoon do battle, you can see little word balloons with the words "Riddle!" and "Filibuster!" in the background. Earlier in that same chapter Keroro threatens to eject Kululu from the platoon for the trouble he'd already been causing, accompanied with a "Decisive action!" In one episode of the anime's dub, Mr. Caption translated the on-screen sound effect for someone making a fist as "fisting"—which is the literal meaning of that word, but "fist" is rarely used as a verb anymore because the other meaning. |

The Journey's End update in Terraria introduces the three new town pet NPCs: the cat, dog and the bunny. Interacting with the cat and the dog will have them meow and bark, respectively, but since English has no onomatopoeia for bunny sounds, interacting with the bunny just gives you the humorous dialogue of "*Bunny noises*" and "*Rabbit noises*". | |
