Foley Dogs


In filmmaking, Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to films, videos, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality. Foley is named after sound-effects artist Jack Foley. Foley sounds are used to enhance the auditory experience of a movie. They can be anything from the swishing of clothing and footsteps to squeaky doors and breaking glass.

Further to esteemed Cunter Ron [Knee]`s criticism of various motion picture `devices` this one is not directly aimed at Foley itself, rather Foley DOGS.

I mean, who can forget the massively successful, good clean harmless fun of the classic The Jazz Singer, the first film to employ the addition of extra sound …

The Jazz Singer.

So, why dogs? Well, it would appear that every single televisual thing Mr Beau and our 57 benefit-earning blackberries have recently watched – films, TV series, anything both old and new – ALL have somewhere in the background the sound of a dog barking in the distance. I wouldn`t care, but it`s the SAME fucking dog.

It`s got to the point where we actively listen for the first instance of the `woof-woof`. Listen out for it yourself.

They`re listed as “Foley Artist” in the credits: “Lazy Fucking probably Gen-Z Cunt” would be more fitting.

PS The Jazz Singer doesn`t have any dogs in it, but I thought I`d share the image to cheer us all up.

Nominated by : Sam Beau

With a second take by Lord Cuntingford:

Can I please second and add to Sam’s nom and cunt sound effects in general. What gets my goat on films as a biker (apart from no-one doing up a helmet properly) is that a bike that is obviously a wheezing 250cc fart has a sound track of a 1000cc plus super-bike – yes Tom Cruise, I’m looking at you.

  1. I knew the cunt would be a yank. That means he wouldn’t have been farting in the films I watch. The twat only broke wind in Motion shite from hamshankland in the sixties.

  2. I had a few punches to the face, and given a few, and it sounds NOTHING like the movies.

    It’s actually quite a sickening sound you never really get used to.

  3. It’s curious, why use the same sound effect?

    Is it laziness, used because it’s the first one on the ‘chose your dog barking sound’ list?
    Perhaps it’s the only free one.

    Does this apply to the creaking floorboard and the muffled thud?
    We already know the same dying scream has been used from an earlier nom.

    Any others?

  4. Speaking for my cats, Graham Washington Cuntster and Boris Wolfgang Cuntster, we consider this nomination to be quite righteous and worthy of unanimous and unequivocal support.

    • Not sure if it counts as a Foley dog or not ,
      But it for some reason it irritates me is as I’ve mentioned before

      It’s bothered me since I was a kid.
      Seems lazy?

      Also in Tarzan the Tarzan call used by Johnny Weissmuller is the one used in every Tarzan film ever made since.

    • You old paperhanger!

      Given the effectiveness of the Tiger and Panther tanks perhaps you and your dogs of war should reconsider.
