About this sound

✦ AI

A custom Vine Boom edit of the 20th Century Fox Television logo theme, layered with a deep bass hit and creepy laughter for dramatic meme reveals.

This clip takes the short, familiar fanfare from the 20th Century Fox Television logo and rebuilds it as a heavy meme boom. The brass opening is cut short by a deep, reverberant Vine Boom hit, then unsettling laughter creeps in underneath, turning a nostalgic TV ident into something ominous. It lasts only a few seconds, but the contrast does the work: the polished logo music promises something grand, and the boom and laugh undercut it with dread and absurdity, making the moment feel like a dramatic reveal gone wrong.

The sound is a fan-made Audacity edit credited to kalbright3275, combining the brief Twentieth Century Fox Television logo theme with the Vine Boom sound that became a staple of meme editing. The original television ident accompanied the end of shows produced by the studio, while the boom layer comes from the later internet edit culture that used exaggerated bass hits for reveals and punchlines. Mashing the two together, plus added laughter, created a compact logo parody that editors still reuse for fake endings, ominous intros and joke trailers.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place the boom exactly on the logo zoom or the frame you want to land as doom, keep the laughter low in the mix, and do not loop it. One clean hit works; repeating it kills the tension.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Drop under a TV logo parody for instant doom.
  • Punctuate a shocking reveal in meme edits.
  • Use after bad news for exaggerated dramatic effect.
  • Score a villain entrance in short comedy sketches.
