We've all experienced it: We're reading a book, or a comic, or a website, when all of a sudden: *POW!* You get hit by an onomatopoeia. Sound effects written out as onomatopoeia can be used in many media, but they play a special role in Sequential Art. Comics are highly visual media that show a scene in pictures instead of describing it in words. Without written sound effects, those scenes would live in a peculiarly silent space in the reader's head, where the only imagined sounds would be the dialogue, if any. Some very creative things can be done with fonts, sizes, colors, shadows or glow, placement, spatial orientations, and curvatures to make a Written Sound Effect more evocative and fit it with the art. The Written Roar is one specific kind of Written Sound Effect. Contrast the Unsound Effect, which is a written effect that is not onomatopoeia. A particularly common form of Editorial Synaesthesia. Can be used for Sound-Effect Bleep with Speechbubbles Interruption. See also Saying Sound Effects Out Loud. Sometimes combines with a Hit Flash. A fundamental tool of the trade, widely used in Sequential Art in general. Called kakimoji in the Manga industry. Light Novels tend to have these a lot, probably since they are closely related to manga. Especially romantic novels tend to be filled with sound effects ranging from falling petals, the rain, wind to the fast beating of the human heart. Examples |

The old Batman (1966) Live-Action TV series used comic-style written sound effects for The Hit Flash. "BIFF! ZOK! POW!". The Simpsons' Batman parody, Radioactive Man, featured these and more, including back references to previous episodes. "BORT! MINT! SNUH!". The Avengers (1960s) parodied a Batman fight sequence in "The Winged Avenger". Also, the comic book writer in the episode uses rather odd onomatopoeia. "Eeee-erp!". Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy in Sponge Bob Square Pants use this as well, along with Unsound Effects - punching over cardboard cut-outs of villains in their opening sequence produce "PROP", "CARDBOARD", and "LAME". Parodied in The John Dredge Nothing To Do With Anything Show as well during the Gasman & Robert sketch: Done as a Mythology Gag in Batman and Harley Quinn when Batman fights an entire Bad Guy Bar of henchman done up like the Adam West-era mooks. However there's more violence allowed now, so the words say "BREAK!", "BLEED!", and "OW MY BALLS!" |

In Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise, these will occasionally pop up after killing enemies, quickly turning into either powerups or just drop to the ground upon which they can be picked up and used to beat enemies to death. One of these is "HIDEBU!", which is what Fat Bastard Heart says when he dies in most adaptations (though other villains said it when they died in the anime as well). Which ones pop up depend on the exact nature of the enemy, the attacks used to kill them, and the location of the fight; there's an achievement for finding all of them. | |

Persona 3, Persona 4 and Persona 5 use this both in and out of combat. Persona 5 especially uses them a lot more liberally, in keeping with the stylish comic book-esque aesthetic. A few examples include groups of chatting people having "Whisper" or "Murmur" written above their heads, Morgana's dialogue in his housecat form being accompanied by "Nya~"s (changed to "Meow~" for the English version), "BANG!"s filling the screen when Joker uses his Down Shot skill, and even "Pi pi pi"s accompanying Joker's phone ringing. | |

Speaking of Marvel, they even have trademarked onomatopoeiae, like SNIKT (Wolverine sheathing his claws - temporarily changed to SCHLIKT when he had the adamantium sucked out of his bones), THWIP (Spider-Man casting his webbing) or BAMF (Nightcrawler teleporting). | |

MAD artist Don Martin was a master of wild onomatopoeia, including such sounds as "SPLOYDOING!" (something springing out jack-in-the-box style), "SWAKLAKKO!" (leaning too far back in a wheeled desk chair on a tiled floor), and a personal favorite, "SKWEEBEEDEEBEEDAP!" (five cockroaches squashed under a board). Martin himself had a vanity license plate that read "SHTOINK". Spoofed in one particular issue, where it was revealed where companies got their names, such as "BOEING!" (the sound an engine makes when it falls off a plane and hits the ground) and "SPAM!" (the sound of a slab of said meat product falling out of the can and onto your foot). In another issue, "Don Martin's Guide to Some Very Obscure Comics Sound Effects" had specialized onomatopoeias for famous comic characters performing various actions. For example, "THIZ-ZIZ-ZIZ-ZIZ-ZIZ..." represented Spider-Man's web-shooters malfunctioning; "SNAP! PLOOBADOOF" represented Wonder Woman taking off her corset; "GEEEEN" represented Plastic Man giving someone on the 20th floor the finger; and "PLAB-LAB-LAB-LAB-LAB" represented the Batmobile driving off with a flat tire. Yet another (drawn by Paul Coker and written by Duck Edwing) had a similar guide to cartoon sound effects. Among them was "Batflurglegloopblub", which is either Batman flushing his toilet, or a fish blowing bubbles into a fat man's navel. Martin indulged in some self-parody now and then: In a Captain Klutz story, after a Mad Scientist gets blown up by his own doomsday device, he seems more concerned about the unimpressive sound effect it produced. A MAD self-parody catalog offered for sale an assortment of unused Don Martin sound effects, said to include "37 THLUPs, 24 FWAPs, a dozen or so THOOMPs and SPROINGs, plus the usual BREEP-BREEPs, FWADDAPPs, KABOOMs, FWISKs and SKLISHKs, and an occasional SKLOOSH, FLABADAP and a FOONGA-FOONGA." The sound "BUSH!" of a defecating cow was in MAD, but probably not drawn by Don Martin. That one came courtesy of John Caldwell, who also drew cartoons for National Lampoon. |

Tembo the Badass Elephant, a game with the same art director as HarmoKnight, takes this to the extreme by having just about every sound effect accompanied by one of these. Among them are "BOOM" for explosions, "OUCH!" for taking damage, "BADABADABADABADA" for running, and "HRAAAANH!" for the protagonist's battle cry. | |

The Perry Bible Fellowship parodies this with Slur, a Luke Cage parody who creates sound effects that sound like ethnic slurs based on who he fights (punching a Mafia goon creates "WOP!", stabbing a Mexican stereotype creates "SPIK!"). When the Iron Fist parody tells him that his fighting style is "problematic", Slur proceeds to break his back Bane-style, creating the effect "CCRRCKKKRRR!" | |

Doraemon: There's a drink that makes your sound solid, turned it into letters. The size is according to how loud you speak it. In "A World Without Sound", the characters write various sound effects on paper, such as "Whistle" and "CLAP CLAP". Happens in "Soap Bubbles". When Big G punches Sneech, Sneech's scream is written out as text. |

In Gintama, these are normally played straight, but on one occasion, Gintoki tries to save Otae during a universe wide time stop by editing the sound of her being hit in the head with a rocket punch (Gossu). He initially just removes a "s" from it to make it sound less painful, but ultimately decides to turn it into a stick figure he calls "Gossan", who's trying to save her from the rocket punch by holding it back. It works...then the two of them end up getting married. | |

The Spider-Man: Spider-Verse film series has these all over the place. Some such as "Boom!" and "Ponk" appear in appropriately comic book-style big letters in some action scenes. Others are small, such as little "THWIP"s coming out of the Spiders wrists when web-slinging in some scenes. One notable scene in the first film has a small "Bagel!" appearing when a bagel gets thrown at someone's head, and said person is later revealed to be the second film's Big Bad. | |

Digger: Occasionally has oddly specific ones with the meaning described in a footnote. For example: "SQUITHMPGLUGH note The sound of a large gourd committing a kamikaze assault. Difficult to render phonetically at the best of times. The comic also makes a Running Gag of footnotes explaining what the proper sound effect is, why they couldn't use it, and going with the Unsound Effect version instead. Ex: "The correct sound of a wombat being hit in the shoulder with a crossbow bolt is a squishy sound followed by 'thud', but we found that lacked a certain pithiness." |

"Skronk"—an onomatopoetic rendering of the skreeching honk made by a deliberately-mistreated saxophone—has become a recognized genre classification, though you might be more likely to encounter terms like "free improv" or "avant-noise". As performances by Arto Lindsay or Oren Ambarchi might attest, a string- and ear-damaging guitarist can skronk in as great a manner as, say: John Zorn, Kenta Tsugami (or both) on tenor or alto. | |

An episode of Duckman features Ajax going off to college as part of a plot by King Chicken. While visiting him at school, Duckman and his family are treated to Ajax giving a lecture on onomatopoeia. This becomes a Brick Joke later when Duckman and King Chicken fight.

Being beaned in the head with a baseball in Team Fortress 2 results in a flashing, neon sign above your head, reading "BONK!", which is a fairly accurate description of what just happened.

Super Bonk has Bonk able to launch the word "RAGE!" out when he's small. The word actually travels forward and bounces off of walls, allowing the player to use it as a makeshift platform (in fact, certain sections require this.) | |

XIII actually uses them to enhance gameplay, allowing the player to tell which direction sounds are coming from (like seeing the "tap, tap, tap" of patrolling guards' footsteps over some foliage.) As well as in MadWorld, because of the Sin City inspired asthetic. |

The brazillian Comic Monica's Gang has this all over the place like when someone is hit or on fights obscured by a Big Ball of Violence. Usally combined with a Hit Flash. This also happens on it's Animated Adaptation and it's teen spinoff manga. | |

During one episode of How I Met Your Mother, the sound of glass shattering symbolised a sudden realisation. When a deaf character has a sudden realisation at the end of the episode, we are treated to a subtitle saying "*shatter*". | |

Kingdom of Loathing uses these whenever someone takes damage. If you're dealing it, it's blue ZAP!s, POW!s, and BARF!s; while if you're taking damage, you see red Ouch!es and Ow!s. | |

Parallel Dementia has some good examples of the written sound effect at work. Strip #32 shows how the basic choices make a difference. Strip #97 shows how to simulate echoes with layered lettering and connect the action across panels with an extended effect. The next link is rather spoilery if you haven't read the comic yet, but in addition to another example of how written sound effects can give more dynamism to panels frozen in time, strip #341 also has an example of how they can be used with creative panel arrangements to show causality and simultaneity of events in different places. | |
