HeavyDrinker Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Here we go....cue the stream of replies banging on about the mental age of Thais etc.... It's simple entertainment, much of which can find it's roots in Old English (Victorian) Music Hall or US Vaudeville and it has been now been shaped into a distinctly Thai 'medium' albeit a modern one. Trust me, if you've ever had to spend a period of exile away from Thailand, the sound of all them 'honks', "parps" and "boings", whisk you back here in seconds.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaidDown Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 If they omitted all of the sound effects how will you know that it is supposed to be funny at that point? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costas2008 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Nothing to do with the mentality of Thai people. It's the effort of the producers and screenwriters to make their play a bit interesting to the audience, as the quality and contents of what they produce is not of any acceptable standard. Sometimes it works, sometimes gets annoying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namdocmai Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Making those dumb noises is a profession in Thailand. Once i was in a big restaurant with live music and when the presentator was speaking that special DJ had to make those "funny" noises. He was a very good DJ though and made a few of them noises in every sentence....so much fun! The volume was very loud so we had a great dinner! NOT.

Donnie Brasco Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Easier to cue up than a laugh track. There are serious political, academic, arts, film, history discussions on several Thai TV channels. If you want to appreciate them as a spectator you must learn to sapeak THAI. If you wish to contribute to them you must learn to converse politely in Thai. You getting this yet ? "Sometimes, 'fuggedabowdit' just means fuggedabowdit. . . .

HeijoshinCool Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Few years back, I bought a cooking video. Professional quality, great recipes, nice set, attractive female chefs. Okay, they were actually really hot, and it would have been a keeper video …. But, when they tossed an ingredient into the pan, it went boing! or made a Yogi Bear noggin klonk sound. Never heard noodles klonk or boing in my own wok. When a chef went for a pot, there was a Fred Flintstone feet scrambling sound. Try this, while visualizing a cute girl cooking you breakfast, she sounds like this when she goes to the fridge (press number one here:) http://www.soundboard.com/sb/Hanna_Barbera_sound_effec When they flipped an omelet, the whistle sound came. Yep, something to do with mentality. I trashed the video, but do use the Thai omelette recipe often. Quietly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Making those dumb noises is a profession in Thailand. It's actually a profession everywhere: Foley Artists. The funny sounds the OP is ranting on about probably originated in Vaudeville and Music Hall entertainment? There was a full band on hand, and they helped spice up the various acts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Mrs.Trans watches those Thai soaps that makes me think of hanging myself. Now is it me, or do you hear waterfalls when the dialog (shouting) goes quiet. ? I knowwwwwww, perhaps I have lost it, but if you can hear it too I will delay the rope.

Does it not reflect on one's mentality though, if you need these cretinous accompanying sounds to elevate something to an artistically acceptable level ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coobah666 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 was watching Tom and Jerry today with the little nephew and the same noises are used and can be enjoyable to watch as there is no language So I treat Thai TV shows the same as Tom and Jerry,turn the volume down and look at all the hot girls and it starts to make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware TV was specific to Thailand, I think you'll find its multi cultural if there was annoying sounds on the tv anywhere I would have a moan, just so happens I live in thailand now, I love the culture and never moan about it but if your gonna generalize about anything said in thailand is about the culture then you are the one that needs to rethink.

Tchooptip Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 ...an old German gentelman have 6 or 7dogs in his house across the street sometimes they started an incredible concerto of barking, yelping, snarling, howling altogether, an absolute dog orchestra madness. The tenants before in my house were mad, the old man's wife told us, when personally I almost die laughing so much so I will record the band and use it for my phone ringtone. ...so sorry but those dumb booooings, honk and company make me laugh most of the time!
