Still: We're everywhere! We're everywhere!
Greetings, Highly Expendibles!
Glad you made it this far, because without a little help, I doubt half of you are going to get today's cartoon. But this is important, damn it! I'm adding something indispensable to your cultural literacy here, by introducing many of you to the "Wilhelm Scream!"
The "Wilhelm" screen is a commonly used sound effect that has been passed through generations of Hollywood sound editors, and is in many of the best-loved films of all time! You've heard it dozens, if not hundreds of times, without knowing it. But once you've heard it out of context, you won't forget it, and can have a secret laugh next time you hear it in a movie or TV show. (I heard it as a bad-guy fell from a cable-car in last week's episode of "Human Target," for example.)
Here are a couple of fan-edited compilation videos from YouTube featuring various instances of the "Wilhelm Scream." See how many you've seen (or heard) before! Fun! Enjoy!
So, there you have it, the Wilhelm Scream!
See you guys back here next week!
- Minion Master Steve
