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... |
- 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." |
- "X! MINUS! ONE!"
- Lights Out: "It...is...later...than...you...think!"
- From the classic Barbara Frum interview on the CBC Radio show As It Happens: "WHAT! DID! YOU! FEED! THE! GODDAMN! CABBAGE?!?!"
- NPR's On The Media with Brooke Gladstone and Bob Garfield always ends with:
Bob Garfield: "And edited...by...Brooke" |
