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:
“I am a writer and a feminist, and the two seem to be constantly in conflict.... ever since I became loosely involved with it, it has seemed to me one of the recurring ironies of this movement that there is no way to tell the truth about it without, in some small way, seeming to hurt it.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
“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)
“If one judges love according to the greatest part of the effects it produces, it would appear to resemble rather hatred than kindness.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
