And when contestants reach the life-changing dollar figures and lose it all, it is painful to hear. Greed has these, usually heard after about 20 seconds of silent suspense.When the show took a more "serious" tone, the one from the upfront game was removed (as were most of the other sound effects), and the bonus loss sound was changed to a series of standard buzzers followed by a barely-audible effect of someone "sliding down the keys" on a piano, and even this was buried in the Theme Tune reprise. The first cycle of Wait Til You Have Kids had three: a one-note horn for no one getting a question right in the main game, and a stock foghorn followed by a standard theme-tune variation (therefore Type B mixed with A) for a bonus loss.possibly the most evil example of this trope ever produced. The cut that didn't make it to the air also featured the first bar of the theme played Shopping Spree-style and had even more horns. The Doug Davidson version of The Price Is Right replaced the original horns with a groan on an electric guitar.Shopping Spree has a comical one that is broken up into pieces.
Unfortunately, the new music package used by the U.S. Ken Basin was the first person in the US version to experience this disastrous outcome, although it came after he bragged like a douche he would get the million. The fanfare heard when someone wins the million is definitely Awesome Music, but should you happen to be the unfortunate soul who misses the million-dollar question, then you're in for one hell of a noise. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? uses a quick musical cue whenever someone answered a question correctly, and a sad inversion of said cue when someone's final answer was wrong.The American runs of Blockbusters had a different one for each version, each resembling that version's theme song.Recycled on the 1989 revival of Now You See It. The Alex Trebek version of Classic Concentration: One "groan" played on trombones, similar to Price but much more ominous, is heard after a bonus loss.Thanks to Memetic Mutation, this horn has come to indicate an Epic Fail at damn near anything.It consists of the first four notes of TPIR's main theme on a tuba, followed by a trombone "groan". Heard on Double Dare and the original version of Card Sharks in truncated form, and the 1980s versions of Card Sharks in full. These were also used on several other Goodson/Todman game shows. The CBS daytime version of The Price Is Right has one of the earliest examples and easily the most recognizable, used after double overbids in the Showcase end game and many pricing game losses (especially ones involving cars or large amounts of cash).
