Recurring Sound Effects
- On self-inflicted deaths that are particularly senseless, a sound clip of a Ted Knight laugh (from the "How About A Fresca" scene in the movie "Caddyshack") may be used; Carr signals his producer for it by asking, "Is Ted in the house?"
- "Do you know who I am?"--a clip of Mo Greene in The Godfather--is often played when someone takes advantage of his political connections.
- "Everything free in America"--a clip of part of the song America from West Side Story--may be played when discussing entitlement programs or proposals for illegal aliens.
- After each traffic violation by a presumably illegal driver with a Hispanic name (see above), a sound clip of a car horn playing the first few bars of La Cucaracha is used.
- A sound effect suggesting strong wind accompanies the reports of "Biff Buffington" (see above).
- After police-blotter stories involving a naked man (there are many), a clip of the chorus of Randy Newman's Naked Man is played: "Beware, beware, beware of the naked man."

Famous quotes containing the words recurring, sound and/or effects:

“Methinks the human method of expression by sound of tongue is very elementary, & ought to be substituted for some ingenious invention which should be able to give vent to at least six coherent sentences at once.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“I am fearful that the paper system ... will ruin the state. Its demoralizing effects are already seen and spoken of everywhere ... I therefore protest against receiving any of that trash.”
