My fav sounds are from teh Hitchiker's Guide to the galaxy! Such as the sound of sperm whale falling fifty feet to the ground. Or the world being destoryed. Or simply the sound of an unidentified person bruiseing their upper arm.

One of my fav sounds is that of Kevin thwacking someone over the head with a rubber chicken.

One sound I think is funny when cartoon characters tiptoe, they make this little dinging sound. "DING, DING, DING, DING." It's like you're making more noise just by tiptoeing.

Also, I like in the Looney Tunes when someone plays a tiny little trumpet, it makes a cute little, "EEP, EEP, EEP, EEP, EEP, EEP, EEP!" sound. :smile: I think Mel Blanc did those little trumpet squeaks.

*That really low rumbling kettle drum sound effect that was used when Cookie Monster would enter a scene in the early days of SS freaked me out at the time, but I think it's quite clever and cool, now.
*Well timed farting noises have their charm.
*When I wash one of my kid's faces I make the squeaky-windexing-the-windows-sound-effect.

Oh boy there's countless great sound effects from many things. From the 3 Stooges alone there are numerous ones. My favorite, as I mentioned in the 3 Stooge thread before, is the sound effect of a sharp object flying into someone's rear end (sound goes "boy yoy yoy yoy yoy yoing!" really hilarious!).
