Comic sound

Despite criticisms of being a vulgar form of humour, use of comic sound as a way of causing laughter has become a recognized and commonly used method. These types of sounds are typical of children's cartoons and slapstick comedy.

Key examples of its use in society and media works are:

  • Flatulence - Various toys have been produced to replicate this sound, i.e., whoopie cushions.[1]
  • Ape or monkey-like noises.
  • Saying a commonly recognized name in a humorous or unusual way.
  • Saying the name of the person you are greeting on the exhale creating a skeletal voice tone.
  • Coughing or sneezing in large amounts to either:
  1. Annoy a nearby person, possibly an authority figure.
  2. Intentionally cover up the end of a sentence or a certain word.
