Wait for the scream...

Wilhelm

Exactly.

I have a minor OCD problem with the Wilhelm. Even when in a movie theater I point to the screen and (rather quietly) say "There it is" when they use it. It's like I can't help myself.

That's pretty understandable. It's iconic, but really overused.

I just heard it on the animated "Guardians of the Galaxy" yesterday. Drax got thrown by someone and they used the WS for Drax.

PS - The animated GotG is not very good.

Hmm, I've heard of it, but haven't seen it. Using the Wilhelm Scream is not a good indication.

This is the first I'd heard of that sound effect having it's own name, actually. In retrospect it does seem like a common thing.

The name of it does conjure the odd idea of invoking it in a documentary about the ill-fated Kaiser Wilhelm II. Perhaps he is depicted as falling (with the scream) when he announces his abdication of the throne?

Yup. The Wilhelm Scream.



And that idea? You FOOL! Now that it's out there, someone will do it!

I would honestly buy that as a tapestry.
