Stock Audio Clip

Sometimes in cartoons, a character may say the same line over and over, with the same recording of the same line. There is a variation in which two characters may get into an argument (Duck Season, Rabbit Season) and use the same sound clip. A subtrope of catchphrase and Stock Sound Effect, and an audio variation on Stock Footage. Also common in video games, where it usually becomes annoying.

Examples:

Film — Animation

• Tarzan (1999) uses Jane's gasp from when she first sees Tarzan, some of Kercheck's roars and also Tarzan's Big "NO!"!
• The Emperor's New Groove uses Kuzco's yelp from when he falls into a pack of jaguars, his scream from when he gets chased by them, his whoop from when he's swept by the river and his gasp from when he sees he has hooves twice. Also Pacha's Big "NO!"!
• The Jungle Book 2 uses Shanti's yelp from when she stops at the river twice. Also her "Don't move" statement to Ranjan.
• In Hercules:
  • Hercules' grunts the same way twice during the Hydra battle. The first time it was heard after he cuts of the Hydra's one and only head, then the second time as Herc slides down the cliffside only to be pinned by the Hydra's claw.
  • Hades' scream after Hercules frees Zeus, and later after Herc punches Hades into the River of Styx.
• In The LEGO Batman Movie, an audio clip of Batman saying "I am so sorry!" is used thrice throughout the movie; the first time when Batman accidentally kicks Alfred into the piano, the second when Robin smacks into the dashboard of the Batmobile, and the third when Batman accidentally kicks Phyllis upon arriving in the Phantom Zone.
• Toy Story:
  • Woody's scream from the first film is used twice (first when Buzz scares him upon first meeting him and later when Babyface takes Buzz's arm away from him.)
    • His scream is reused three times in the third film (first during in Andy's imagination prologue when One-Eyed Betty (Mrs. Potato Head) knocks him off the train, second when he is dropped from a very tall height from a hang glider, and later when the Monkey scares him while he and Slinky are trying to sabotage him.)
    • His same screaming voice clip is used in the fourth film when he rips Bo Peep's arm off by accident.
  • Woody's "oof" when he falls off of Buster in the second film is reused from the first film when the bowling ball from the closet falls on his head.
  • Jessie's "Yee-haw!" is reused several times from the second film onwards.
  • All of Mr. Potato Head's dialogue in Toy Story 4 is recycled from the previous three films that are unused and other media. This was done due to his voice actor, Don Rickles, having passed away in 2017. Rickles' family suggested this approach rather than recasting the role.
• Monsters, Inc.:
  • In Monsters, Inc., some many characters same audio clips are used throughout the film (mostly from Boo) including Mike's pain scream (heard two times when Roz closes her office shutters on his hands and when Baby Smitty bites Mike's hand.), etc.
  • Mike's pain scream from the first movie is reused in Monsters University when he gets dragged out from under the bed by Archie the scare pig.
• In Sleeping Beauty: Aurora's crying just before Maleficent enchants her is actually a sped-up clip of Dopey's crying over Snow White's apparent death from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
• On The Sword in the Stone:
  • Whenever Wart stumbles or falls it's accompanied with the same "Wha...wait! Whoa!"
  • The gibbering noise the wolf makes whenever he falls down a hill.
  • The sound made when Crocodile Mim snaps her jaws shut is the exact same one heard whenever Maleficent slammed her staff on the ground or when her dragon form snapped its jaws.

Film — Live-Action

• A Hong Kong martial-arts movie titled Hapkido, in its original English dub, referred to the titular martial art as "kung fu". It was later redubbed to correct this— but rather than redubbing the dialogue completely, the dubbers just pasted the word "hapkido" over "kung fu". It's frequently the same recording of the word— even when several different characters are saying it. It must be seen to be believed.
• In "Humanoids From the Deep" during the attack on the carnival at the end, you hear the same audio of a woman screaming followed by a little boy saying "Mommy!" multiple times.
• Heat does this when a certain character says "Get down." in the same manner.
• In Mr. Nice Guy where a mob boss fights a rival gang called "Demons", Diana (who has the tape) and her accomplice Richard escape. Diana says "Richard, hurry!" twice in the same manner.

Live-Action TV

• In the Doctor Who serial The Chase during the Daleks' fight with the Mechanoids all the lines spoken by the Daleks were from earlier in the serial (in fact mostly from their first scene in the first episode).
• Inverted in a Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch, where a vox pop interviewee (Eric Idle) is stuck in a rut (stuck in a rut, stuck in a rut). Instead of replaying the same dialogue over and over, Idle just repeats the phrase.

Radio Drama

• The Lone Ranger always used the same recording of Earle Graser shouting "Hi yo Silver, away!" — even after Graser's death and replacement by another actor.

Video Games

• Super Mario Bros. games regularly reuse voice over clips from Super Mario Galaxy and other games.
  • Many of Yoshi's voice clips from Yoshi's Story is reused in any Mario games.
• Fox Hunt does this in Discs 2 and 3, where Jack, after winning the blackjack card game says "Yeah, the chicks dig me." The same line was said in the Dummied Out cinematic where he works for The Wolf.
• Super Smash Bros.: Some of the cast, playable or otherwise, reuses voice clips from their home video games. Even for characters who get new voice clips in Smash, their Smash voice clips are reused in later installments.

• On Multi Versus, Rick and Morty's voice lines are recycled and taken directly from many episodes of the show.
• In LEGO Dimensions, some characters' voice lines are reused from any media including the doctors from Doctor Who and Dan Castellaneta-voiced characters from The Simpsons.
• In 2005's Yakuza, Hirotaka Suzuoki played Prisoner No. 1356 in a very minor role before he passed away in 2006.

• LEGO Star Wars
  • Many characters voice clips on LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game are reused from the first two episodes of the original Star Wars prequel trilogy (for example: Obi-Wan's, Anakin's, Padme's, Yoda's, and C-3PO's death sounds are reused from Attack of the Clones). This was also used in its sequel, The Complete Saga, and the third game.
    • Some of the characters voice clips on LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars are reused from the second game including Greedo's death sound, Dengar's death sound (used for many characters including Plo Koon, Grand Moff Tarkin, etc.), the Rebel Troopers death sound (used for the clones, Jango Fett, Boba Fett, Stormtrooper, and its shadow variant), etc.
• In both Disney Dreamlight Valley and Disney Speedstorm, WALL•E and EVE speak entirely though reused audio from their home movie. Given that neither of them can say much to begin with, it's not immediately obvious.

Web Animation

• Happy Tree Friends frequently recycles character voices and background music to the point where the wiki has compiled a list of these instances.
• Object Shows:
  • Battle for Dream Island: Exaggerated with Ice Cube, who speaks entirely in recycled lines. Needle used to do so as well until she got a new VA in episode 5 of season 2 and hasn't used recycled lines since then.

  • Contest for Millions of Thousands would constantly used the same collective "wow" sound effect whenever the contestants excitedly react to something.

Western Animation

• Courage the Cowardly Dog:
  • Muriel: Two recordings of "Oh my!", one somewhat exasperated, one surprised.
  • Eustace: "Stupid dog!", "OOGA BOOGA BOOGA!", "What's- huh?", "Blah blah blah", various laughs and grumbles. These were used even after the original actor, Lionel Wilson, retired and Arthur Anderson took over.
  • Courage: The majority of his sounds are stock clips, especially after he speaks far less from season two on. "Oh no!", his whining noise, his scream, the oddly low-pitched laugh, "The things I do for love!", "Muriel, I'll save you!", and babbling all sound the same each time you hear them. It's quite possible that Marty Grabstein recorded one session and never stepped into the studio again.
  • All characters: screaming. Sometimes other characters use the same low-pitched laugh as Courage.
  • Dr. Vindaloo: What is up with that?
• Ed, Edd n Eddy: Has tons of 'em, usually laughs and other comical sounds the characters made are recycled.

  • Jimmy: "And it was such a cute squirrel, too", "Ouch!", "Wah-ha-ha-haaaa" (that whiny crying he does from time to time, such as getting hoodwinked by Eddy with "Smileyville" or after getting maimed by his own eyelash curler).
  • Sarah often makes a distinctive growl, usually as she's about to beat somebody up.
    • Edd also had a wheezy-sounding gasp that is used in many episodes. It almost sounds like he's yelling, "Ed!", and the Closed Captioning even misinterprets it as "Ed!" in "Ed-n-Seek".

    • In "From Here to Ed", Jimmy's lines "Farewell cruel world!", "Oh, my legs." and "My hair!" are reused from "Once Upon an Ed" and "Avast Ye Eds" while Ed and Edd's screaming clip is recycled from "Avast Ye Eds". Jonny's line "For crying out loud!" in the episode is later reused again on "Ed... Pass it On...".
• The Roadrunner's "Meep Meep". The practice is parodied in The Simpsons in the episode "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show", when one of the people working on the Itchy & Scratchy show claims that not only did Warners reuse a single "Meep Meep", they actually had the voice artist say "Meep" once and then doubled it up.
• Futurama:
  • The exact same scream is used every time Amy falls over.

  • Isabella: "Whatcha doin'?".
  • Bob Webber: "OK!"
• SpongeBob SquarePants:
  • Frequently has Fred (voiced by Doug Lawrence), often from off-screen, shout "My leg!", usually as the series equivalent of That Poor Cat.

    • Parodied in one episode in which a character screams about pain in his eyes, only to momentarily stop to nonchalantly say, "Also, my leg."
    • An entire episode was made about this gag, titled "My Leg!" Ironically, the original stock clip of the line is never used; the dozens of times Fred or someone else says the line are unique recordings.
    • The "My leg!" sound clip is also played in The SpongeBob Musical when Squidward unrolls a Long List that falls into the orchestra pit.

  • Mr. Krabs' scream from "Squeaky Boots" is reused in "Patty Hype" and "Squilliam Returns".

  • In "Sick as a Dog", Arthur has a nightmare involving D.W. unlocking Pal's cage while he stays at the veterinarian overnight. Right before she does so, she says, "No, wait. I can do it."

In "Food 'Tude", all three screams are played consecutively when Sabrina gets swarmed by butterfly-like creatures made out of sandwiches.
  • Maritza has a stock "Hmm..." used in several episodes. It's difficult to tell where it originated, as all of its uses sound unnatural within the context of the scene. It is also used for a random woman in "School Spirit".

  • The other characters' catchphrases are also recycled voice clips, such as Walden's "Yes, yes, yes!", Widget's "That wasn't supposed to happen!", Daizy's "Lavender lollipops!" plus a clip of her singing the background music that usually plays when she is on screen, and a Running Gag scenario when an orange squared kid says "That's koo-oo-ooky!" the exact same way every time when an unpredictable event happens, though sometimes the "That's" is edited out.
