I wonder why they felt they needed to trademark SNIKT but not THWIP

Nightcrawler's BAMF teleportation sound effect has always been one of my favorites. Felt like sound affect used for the White House attack scene in the Xmen movie was a solid representation.

BAMF (nightcrawler teleportation sound) i think is registered too.

I particularly don't like trademarks of words. Mainly words that were created way before you decided to pay a bit of money to "trademark". But this is a great video.

"I have no idea how this rumor got started." :D

With you Scott! A year or so ago you did a video where you explicitly said it!

bamf! (nightcrawler's teleportation sound)

[BurnRoddy]

My favorite sound is *_Tuff_* basically because it's both a sound and a word.
Back in the day *_Mr.Tuff_* was one of my favorite games.

[AHeroAlmost]

I should trademark this and make millions...

[AllThatGoodStuff]

Bloo-ding! That's the sound in the intro!!


...TRADEMARK IT NOW!!

Me and my brother have this running joke where he annoys me by saying the wrong sound effect. Like, he’ll do the spiderman hand sign, and say “Pew pew” or “f’tang” or whatever, and I pretend to get super annoyed. It’s pretty funny.

"Did I just have a stroke?" I died laughing lol

[briangohzhen]

Now watch me TWHIP
Now watch me nae nae.

[GamesFromSpace]

DC should trademark this word, until Marvel gives Captain Marvel to them.

[BingBangPoe]

I love the "Thwipp" sound from the 90's animated series. So satisfying to hear.

[flavoredchin]

what about BAMF? y'know nightcrawler

[michaelkrumbein]

My first thought at the beginning of this video; "What about *snikt*?"

Well played, sir.

MAD Magazine's Don Martin once had a funny bit about superhero sound effects that we don't usually see like the sound of Spider-Man's web-shooters backfiring.

Now I got to quickly secure the copyright for thwip
