Added DiffLines:
* Repeatedly on ''Series/ThirtyRock''. 'Gasp', 'Sigh', even with non-sounds, like 'Twist!' Perhaps the most amusing one is Judge Dredd: "Gavel gavel gavel! [[LampshadeHanging I lost my gavel over the weekend]], but it doesn't mean you can talk to me like that."
** Taken to a new level when a flashback shows young Tracy wearing a Chewbacca costume (made out of used hair extensions) shouting "Perfectly Executed Chewbacca Sound!"
** In episode "The Problem Solvers", Liz is eating with Jack. She expresses shock at something he tells her by saying the words "SpitTake, are you serious?"
* In ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'':
** When Skye is learning how to use a gun, Coulson notes she tends to say "Bang" when shooting, and to accidentally eject the clip instead of firing. [[BrickJoke She's later shown to do exactly that]] during a mission.
** In a later season, the team rehearses a fight scene Daisy had seen in a precognitive vision in order to try changing its outcome. Since they are using fake weapons, May says "Bang" whenever she's supposed to fire a gun.
* Series/{{Angel}} Investigations is being secretly bugged by supernatural law firm Wolfram & Hart. One of their minions is transcribing the surveillance recordings.
-->'''Gavin:''' Keee-yi-ha ow. Someone doing an incantation?\\
'''Transcriber:''' No. Angel started training the female in martial arts. I think she got in a lucky punch.
* Murdock does this ''all the time'' on ''Series/TheATeam''.
* ''Series/BabylonFive'': The first season had a minor RunningGag with Ivanova describing explosions with "Boom!"
-->'''Ivanova:''' No Boom today, Boom tomorrow. There's ''always'' a Boom tomorrow.\\
''[Sinclair and Garibaldi wordlessly walk away]''\\
'''Ivanova:''' [[DefensiveWhat What?]] Someone around here's gotta have some damn perspective. Boom. Sooner or later. '''''BOOM!'''''
* During the second half of the two-part ''Series/{{Batman|1966}}'' episode "The Minstrel's Shakedown" / "Barbequed Batman?", the Minstrel's moll, a NeutralFemale like always, is watching Batman and Robin beat down their gang, and begins {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall the multicolored "sound-effects" cards]].
-->'''Moll:''' POW! BAM! Look at the Dynamic Duo! ''[pause]'' [[HighHeelFaceTurn Do you really think they'll win, Minstrel]]?

--> '''Bob:''' Woof!!!

* On one episode of ''Series/BreakTheBank1985'', host [[Series/MatchGame Gene Rayburn]] somewhat randomly imitated the sounds throughout the game, such as the "buddle-buddle-oop" noise used when a card was inserted into the Bank and the code was displayed on the readout.
* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
** A few examples here
--->'''Xander:''' Have you seen Ampata?\\
'''Willow:''' ''[makes indistinct movement while wearing thick fur coat]''\\
'''Xander:''' What was that?\\
'''Willow:''' I shrugged.\\
'''Xander:''' Next time you should probably say "shrug". ''[leaves]''\\
'''Willow:''' "Sigh."
** Willow does this quite a bit. In the next episode she said "gulp" and in the one after that, it was "grr".
** Xander, upon seeing the insane contraption of a tower [[spoiler:that will claim Buffy's life]]: "[[Film/CannibalTheMusical Shpedoinkle]]!"
** Xander, brushed off by a distracted Buffy when he tries asking her out, stands there and lets out a long descending whistle and a crash noise, mimicking the sound of Wile E. Coyote falling off a cliff.
* ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'': Rebecca has a tendency to say "Gasp!" when she's surprised or happy about something.
* ''Series/DadsArmy:'' The platoon have converted Jones' van with holes they can fire out of. To save ammunition during a drill, the soldiers say "Bang!" when they're supposed to fire.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E8SilenceInTheLibrary "Silence in the Library"]], the Doctor and Donna are recited an ApocalypticLog by a computer terminal in a CreepyMonotone. Said log includes various noises that the computer terminal replicates as "Argh. Slaugh. Snick."
* In the ''Series/{{Frasier}}'' episode "Ham Radio", Daphne has the job of doing this during the rehearsal for Frasier's radio play, since the actual sound effects aren't available yet. She amuses herself by saying sound effects that aren't in the script; when the ManOfAThousandVoices storms out due to Frasier's micromanagement she says "Sound of door slamming", and when Frasier calls Niles to replace him, without saying that he'll be playing six characters, she says "Sound of ominous organ music indicating trouble ahead".
* In the ''Series/{{Friends}}'' episode "The One With The Evil Orthodontist" Chandler is staring intently at a telephone, waiting for a girl to call. Monica sneaks up on him and makes the phone buzzing/ringing sound to startle him. He scrambles for the handset to answer it before realizing that she tricked him. He sneers at her, "Hell is filled with people just like you", but Monica just defiantly tosses her head.
In an early episode of Series/GhostsUK, the Captain--unable to actually hold or fire a gun in his deceased state--mimes shooting at a hare with his walking stick. "Pom, pom!"
* ''Series/TheGoodPlace:'' Whenever Janet, the BenevolentAI who runs the titular neighborhood, appears in a scene she's usually accompanied by a chime she describes as a "pleasant bing sound". In the third season she becomes trapped on Earth and is cut off from her powers, including her ability to teleport and trigger the sound. She eventually starts saying "bing" when walking into a room because she misses it.
* A second season episode of ''Series/TheGoodWife'' has the Florricks attending an event on which an [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible incomprehensible poem]] is performed. More than half of the words of the poem demonstrate this trope.
* ''Series/HappyEndings'' Season 3, Episode 14 opens with Brad asking the gang who wants to see pics of him at his job at Chuckles & Hugs. Penny, Alex and Dave all say 'groan' and Max says 'farting noise.' Then,
-->'''Brad:''' C'mon what kind of monster doesn't want to see a pic of me, a chubby Korean kid and a state of the art Bubble Bot 9000 bubble machine?\\
'''Penny, Dave, Max:''' Me.\\
'''Alex:''' Farting noise.

''[Searches pockets for 3 seconds]''\\
'''BAM!!!!!!''' ''[business card in the face]''
* ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' often features Mac making "air whipping noises" while doing his karate moves.
* ''Series/LateNightWithConanOBrien'':
** One bit on the Academy Awards nominations showed a clip from ''Film/SpiderMan1'' (which was up for Best Sound Effects Editing) with all the sounds clearly being vocalized by some guy, ending with him actually saying "Grab!" as Spidey grabs Mary Jane.
** Another ''Late Night'' bit had a fake Geraldo Rivera on the TV where the picture is real but the lips are moved by someone else. "Geraldo" is trying to look like a hero in the middle of a warzone in Afghanistan, and Conan is skeptical as he can't see any fighting. "Geraldo" starts to make noises like "kaboom" and "ratatat" to try to convince Conan, but Conan points out he is making those noises with his mouth. "Geraldo" replies "well... they have very primitive technology here, Conan."
* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'':
** "Say no more, wink, wink, nudge, nudge."
** "Howls of derisive laughter, Bruce."
* ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'': In ''Film/TheDeadlyMantis'' [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S08E04TheDeadlyMantis episode]], since space has no noise, Servo supplies the sound of cars driving. "Watch, I'll downshift now!"
-->''[Tom Servo hums]''\\
'''Crow:''' What's that?\\
'''Servo:''' I'm idling.
* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdIGDOgr4Ps Trudge trudge]]
* ''Series/OddSquad'':
** One of Oscar's earliest quirks involved him providing his own sound effects whenever he activated gadgets, since the gadgets themselves don't have speakers and can't make their own noises. He demonstrates this in "Bad Luck Bears" by making a series of whooshing noises when he activates a scanner to scan the Burly Bears players for thirteens, but [[CharacterizationMarchesOn the trait was dropped from his overall character after that,]] with gadgets now having their own sounds when used. "Bad Lemonade" would later have Oscar making sniffing sounds along with his Truth-Sniffer-inator gadget as a ContinuityNod.
** In "Reindeer Games", numerous characters say "ding" whenever they locate a coordinate on the map. Olive in particular seems quite embarrassed when she first does it out of sheer habit.
** In "Rise of the Hydraclops", when measuring their way to the first treasure chest, Oscar gives various "whee's" as he uses Norman, his teddy bear, in place of a ruler. Olive and Otto shoot him confused reactions and he becomes defensive as he says that Norman likes it when he makes noises.
** "Moustache Confidential" has Oprah providing her own {{Sting}} when she orders Olive and Otto to stay in Headquarters to investigate a crime.
--> '''Oprah:''' Dun dun daaaaah.
** In "Odd Squad Needs You", Orchid refers to the titular commercial Otis is filming as a "trainwreck". Later on, she acts out the comment with a "Choo-choo, ''kaboom!''"
** The beginning of "Not OK Computer" has Olympia asking Otis what a blob sounds like and acting out her guesses. She thinks it either makes a "chhhh" sound or something akin to the sound of BlowingARaspberry, but Otis assures her it makes a sound that's similar to a cat's yowl and makes such a sound to demonstrate.
** In "Follow the Leader", Owl, an agent who's a MasterOfDisguise, explains that the villain disguises that Orla, Oswald and Omar need to wear on their mission to stop [[BigBad The Shadow]] can short-circuit if they come into contact with water, and describes the disguises wearing off with a "bzzzt, beep-''bow''".
* ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'' episode 11 featured the Rangers yelling "BattleCry!" as they piloted their Megazord into battle.
* ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'': On at least two occasions, the device that makes the Big Wheel beep has malfunctioned. As a result, Bob had the audience shout "beep beep beep" as it spun.
* ''Series/RedDwarf'':
** In one of the many episodes where the ship is threatening to explode, Cat enters the room where Rimmer and Lister are talking to Holly. Referring to the RedAlert sirens audible in the background, he says:
--->'''Cat:''' Hey guys, I think they're playing our tune, the Ahwooga Waltz! Anyone care to join me in a quickstep?
** In an earlier episode, the siren breaks, forcing Holly to improvise:
--->'''Holly:''' Awooga, awooga, abandon ship!
** In a later episode:
--->'''Kryten:''' Bing bong! Sorry, sirs - the "bing bong" machine is being serviced this evening. I'm afraid we're on manual.
* A regular feature of the Wayne's World sketches from ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' was Wayne and Garth providing the “diddly-doop, diddly-doop” sound effects for a DreamSequence. Also the famous "Schwiing" that Mike Myers described as the sound of a sword being drawn from its scabbard.
* An ad for the Creator/FoodNetwork show ''The Secret Life Of...'' had host Jim O'Connor referring to his show as "The Secret Life Of Dot Dot Dot."
* In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "Time's Arrow" Data is carrying an anvil with one hand. His assistant (who doesn't know he's an android) is surprised at this feat of strength. Data quickly tries to cover by letting the anvil pull his arm down to the ground. He grabs his shoulder as if it's been strained and says "ouch".
** In the episode "Phantasms" part of Data's going to bed routine is saying "Ah" as if he was actually yawning.
* In the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Penumbra" Ezri [[FakeStatic fakes communications static]] with her mouth instead of the equipment available to her.
* In Creator/JimHenson's ''Film/TheTaleOfTheBunnyPicnic'', the dog -- who is the main villain -- had a habit of doing this.
* ''Series/ThatsSoRaven'': "[[CatchPhrase Awww, snap!]]"
* Played with on the episode of ''Series/UnderTheUmbrellaTree'' in which the kids have to go to the doctor for their shots. Iggy goes last, and he is so scared that he asks permission to take along his headphones and favorite cassette of rap music to calm him. Gloria, Jacob and Holly are waiting when they suddenly hear a wild "OW, WOW!" sound and become frightened because they think Iggy is in pain - but then both Iggy and the doctor emerge from the office busting some hip-hop moves, and it turns out that "OW, WOW!" is one of the rap lyrics.
-->'''Iggy:''' OW, WOW! [[PissTakeRap Leapin' Lizards izz tha ONE!]]
* ''Series/Utopia2014'': The episode "Dot Dot Dot" has a number of characters [[TitleDrop drop the title]].
* ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' has [[FauxAffablyEvil Damon]] taunting [[CainAndAbel his brother]] [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Stefan]] about why he has returned to their hometown.
-->'''Damon:''' That's for me to know, and you to dot dot dot.
* Invoked on ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' with the game ''Sound Effects'', which takes one of two forms. In the first, one performer reacts to sound effects made by another who stands off-stage with a microphone, and the quality varies (in the US version, there's a RunningGag of Ryan Styles' "squeaky squeaky" sound for bicycle tires). In the second, two audience members provide the sounds for the performers, and this is '''always''' played for SoBadItsGood, as the audience members are nervous and giggly and do a poor but hilarious job.
* ''Series/TheXFiles'' had a few bleeped-out instances of swearing in ''Jose Chung's "From Outer Space"'' that, because of the RashomonStyle, were done as this trope
-->'''Detective Manners:''' Well that's a dead bleepin' alien if I ever bleepin' saw one.
* When Creator/TheWB show ''Series/ZoeDuncanJackAndJane'' was [[NewSeasonNewName renamed]] ''Zoe...'', it was referred to in commercials and whatnot as "Zoe dot dot dot."
