soundeffectfilter: Looking for the sound effect that is used when a bad joke falls flat.

This sound effect was used, most recently on Shooting Stars(UK TV show).

What usually happened was the host, Vic, would deliver a joke with a bad punchline and, of course, no-one laughs.
You then hear the sound of a lonley church bell and the wind blowing.

I am looking for this as a wav sound effect but can't seem to find it any where on t'internet.

help!

Just buy a 'spooky wind' ambient sound effect and church bell from a sound effects site and combine the two, it'll work fine.

Is that the UK version of crickets chirping?

Would the Nelson Muntz variant be of any use?

the opie&anthony pogram on xm satellite radio uses a few different sound effects when jokes bomb... a car crash sound effect and crickets 'chirping' are the ones they use most often.

One of the early Black Sabbath albums opens with exactly this sound. Seriously.

I just looked it up. The album AND the song are called "Black Sabbath."
