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:
“Let us think this thought in its most terrible form: existence as it is, without meaning or aim, and yet recurring inevitably, without a finale in nothingness—”eternal recurrence.””
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“O, I am smitten with a hatchet’s jaw;
And that in deed and not in word alone.
chorus: I thought I heard a sound within the house
Unlike the voice of one that jumps for joy.
He splits my skull, not in a friendly way,
Once more: he purposes to kill me dead”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“One of the effects of a safe and civilised life is an immense oversensitiveness which makes all the primary emotions somewhat disgusting. Generosity is as painful as meanness, gratitude as hateful as ingratitude.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
