Semi-example: Twilight's First Day uses "pronk" (here and in the next part). (But in the show proper, a pony - usually Pinkie Pie - pronking [jumping using all four legs] is accompanied by a 'boing' sound effect.)

The latest page of Grrl Power has a pretty great example that I think might work ever better as the example image - see the final panel at http://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2864. I'm not particularly active around here - It's been so long since I edited that I forgot my old login info and had to make a new account - so I wanted to put it up for discussion before making such a big change.

The (only, as of right now) example in the Advertising section seems like a... not-example. It reads:

  • It is common practice for closed captioning to caption sound effects as well. There is a Windex ad in which the mother cleans a window with Windex to let the sun shine in and wake up her kids. The kids rush out while the mother smirks — because it's Saturday. Her smirk is captioned as "(mother smirks)".
...Except, as a facial expression "smirk" has no sound, so the Windex ad's captioning is pointlessly-and-redundantly narrating what's visible on the screen. That's... I don't know what that is, but I'm pretty sure it's not an example of any sort of Unsound Effect.

I'm new here and don't know what I'm doing. Could somebody who does add "Un-omatopoeia" to the "also known as" list?

Do you mean the "Alternative Titles" section?

Removing creepy example here, since I'm not sure whether it should be deleted or not.

  • American artist Smudge (just in case you were going to try to search for him) apparently thinks that the sound a (massive) penis makes when it's forced into a vagina is "FUCKIN-COCKA!"
  • "GOES GOOD ON GRAHAM CRACKERS!!"
    • "VARIOUS SQUISHY NOISES!"
    • "IN THE ASS!"
    • "FJORD!"

Hi, I'm looking for the picture or the page with the unsound effect "shiiiin" (the sound of silence) in the Mahou Sensei Negima! (Magister Negi Magi) - manga. Is there somebody how can help to find it (in which issue, year, ...) or who knows how to find ? I'm sound artist and want to work with unsound effects .... best -g-

see: The Mahou Sensei Negima! manga does this a lot. Of course, this is probably due to the translators being very faithful to the original; during a silent scene you'll see the giant "shiiiin" kana with tiny English "the sound of silence" written underneath.
