6
7	!! This episode provides examples of:
8	* AsideGlance: Cosmo gives a wink to the audience twice.
9	* BlatantLies: At the end of the episode, Mr. Turner claims the charade trophies didn't mean anything to him anyway. He ends up exploding with rage when he finds out Dinkelberg melted them down into a solid gold toilet seat.
10	* BrickJoke: When there is no sound, Timmy puts a CD of loud music in big stereo in his house on full volume, as he can’t hear it. When the meteor is about to hit Dimmsdale, Mr. and Mrs. Turner huddle in front of it then the sound returns, and the loud music startles them.
11	* ChekhovsGun: The charades game is what Timmy uses to get Cosmo and Wanda to unwish the wish and bring the sound back.
12	* DisasterDominoes: At one point, Timmy causes a chain reaction that knocks over and breaks [[PricelessMingVase a contrived row of highly valuable objects his parents own]].
13	* DramaticIrony: At the end of the episode, after Timmy stopped the meteor by charading the sound back, his father apologizes for snapping at him earlier, stating it's not like their lives depended on the game.
14	* EpicFail: Timmy is quite awful at charades, and easily gives the Dinklebergs a victory in just 1.25 seconds.
15	-->'''Mr. Turner:''' ''(waves his arms wildly)'' ''This'' is not a bulldozer! ''(runs with his hands at his chest while leaning backward)'' ''This'' is not a fudgesicle! ''(pretending to row a boat)'' [[TakeThat And how is this]] ''Film/GhostbustersII''?!
16	* FireHoseCannon: To get Timmy's attention and warn him about the meteor, Cosmo and Wanda summon a firetruck and spray Timmy with the hose.
17	* InsaneTrollLogic: Somehow, Cosmo was able to get the word "Sound" from Timmy holding up a taco. Lampshaded by the resulting poof cloud having a question mark.
18	* IronicEchoCut:
19	-->'''Mr. Turner:''' Now, let's show the Dinklebergs how we Turners are the [[ItsTheBestWhateverEver best charades players ever!]]\
20	''[1.25 seconds later]''\
21	'''Mr. Turner:''' ''(to Timmy)'' You are the [[WorstWhateverEver worst charades player ever!!!]]
22	* JumpScare: Timmy's parents were holding onto each other waiting for the meteor to impact, but when sound returned they got startled by the stereo behind them that's been left on with the volume all the way up.
23	* ModelPlanning: When Cosmo doesn't understand the danger of the meteor, Wanda uses Timmy's block set to create a model of Dimmsdale, followed by one of the meteor smashing into it. Unfortunately, when Cosmo tries to convey it to Timmy, he gets it backwards with the model smashing into the meteor.
24	* NoDialogueEpisode: The middle of the episode becomes this when Timmy wishes everything would be quiet.
25	* NoIndoorVoice: The "stop yelling" exchange in Timmy's bedroom, culminating in him wishing everything was silent.
26	* OverlyLongGag: The "stop yelling at me" exchange between Timmy and Wanda, with Cosmo cutting in and ending it with BlahBlahBlah. This leads to Timmy having a RageBreakingPoint and wishing the whole world was silent.
27	* RunningGag:
28	** Someone getting furious, followed by them screaming in rage and causing an explosion that blows their clothes off.
29	*** The final time this happens is at the end of the episode where, after Timmy finally finished his Eiffel Tower model, Mr. Turner causes it to collapse ''again'', rendering Timmy's success at finally completing it AllForNothing. Cue Timmy finally snapping as his RageBreakingPoint is hit, his face turns red, and he lets off a furious scream.
30	---> '''Cosmo:''' '''[[OhCrap INCOMING!!!]]'''\
31	''(After Timmy blows and things calm down, Timmy is shown to ''still'' be shaking with fury with an angry scowl on his face, clenched fists, and hunched back, minus his clothes.)''\
32	'''Wanda:''' Like father, like son.
33	** Someone gets surprised, then they drink their coffee and [[SpitTake spit it in someone else's face]].
34	*** Cosmo does this one more time near the end of the episode, earning some annoyed DeathGlare looks from Timmy and Wanda.
35	** During the charade game, Cosmo keeps guessing taco. Timmy ends up using this to help Cosmo and Wanda get the final word.
36	* SeriousBusiness: As a charades' champion, Mr. Turner takes the game ''very'' seriously.
37	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Seeing the approaching meteor about to hit Dimmsdale, nearly everyone flees.
38	* UnderwearFlag: A variation. Timmy raises Francis the Bully on a flagpole by stringing his underpants and having a hungry dog help raise him. The silent screams causes him to lose all his clothes.
39	* {{Wedgie}}: Francis does this to Chester and A.J. Since he can't hear anything, he does it so hard that they explode out of their clothes. [[LaserGuidedKarma Timmy gets even by tying Francis's underwear to a dog and having him pulled up a flagpole.]]
40	* YankTheDogsChain: When the meteor is about to hit Dimmsdale, Mr. Crocker sees Cosmo and Wanda out in the open, and tries to expose them. However, as everybody is too busy panicking about the meteor and there is no sound no one pays attention to Mr. Crocker.
