Punctuated! For! Emphasis!/Radio


Examples of Punctuated! For! Emphasis! in Radio include:

  • Bob and Ray's "Slow Talkers of America" skit works similarly to the Mirror Mask example above. Albeit in this one, in a nifty subversion of the trope, it's the relentless lack of drama that eventually sends the interviewer over the edge:

Bob: (as president Harlow P. Whitcomb) ... the STOA... the Slow...
Ray: Talkers of America, right. Now, you--
Bob: ... Talkers...
Ray: Of America!
Bob: ... of...
Ray: America! Of AMERICA!!
Bob: ... America.

  • From Adventures in Odyssey: During the "Darkness Before Dawn" arc, Richard Maxwell crosses paths with middle-management villain "Jellyfish". After being kept in jail about half a year longer than his sentence should have lasted, he isn't happy. As such, he informs him that apart from cleaning up his act, one thing hasn't changed:

"I. Never. Forget."
