whom = object of the preposition "for" (think: For Whom the Bell Tolls)


** Another episode ended with Klinger opening the jukebox in the Officer's Club and smashing a record. He had spent the episode devastated at finding out his ex-wife (who he still had feelings for) was marrying his best friend and felt he had nothing to go home to. He repeatedly played "their song" on the jukebox during the episode and his smashing the record symbolized he had finally gotten over her.

Not to be confused with BrokenRecord, the gag where the soundtrack incessantly repeats a short phrase similarly to the RepetitiveAudioGlitch you get when a record is damaged. Also see RecordNeedleScratch.

* Vinyl records from the [=70s=] oil crisis have a negative reputation for doing this. These records are thin, made from recycled vinyl, and have lost their flexibility in the decades since they were pressed. It may not make the dramatic glass like sound effect, but you'll probably need a broom.

* As WebVideo/TheSlowMoGuys [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-DTjpde9-0 demonstrate]], vinyl records ''can'' shatter, if you put them on a Dyson vacuum motor and spin them at ridiculous speeds. The guys add shattering-glass sound effects during editing, but in reality, the break happens so fast that it makes more of a loud "pop."

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'', Mr. Van Driessen rewards Beavis and Butt-Head with LPs from his own collection. The duo ends up using the records like Frisbees, and one of them shatters noisily.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


** The Hebrew version is [[UpToEleven even worse]]. Not only do the shattered pieces [[SpecialEffectFailure look like they're made of paper]], but the records themselves land [[ArtisticLicensePhysics on a carpet]], no less!

* ''WesternAnimation/BeanyAndCecil'' took this UpToEleven in the episode "D.J. the D.J." when Dishonest John gets Cecil to produce his song as a record. He sings "Kid, your records are going to sell like hotcakes!" and stuffs a huge stack of [=LPs=] into Cecil's mouth and [[VisualPun pours syrup over the records]]. Then he adds, "I think that you're [[HurricaneOfPuns going to be a smash]]!" and hits Cecil on the head with a huge mallet, shattering the records.
