Foley Dogs

Posted on by


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?

  10. Best wishes, OC…I do mean that too.
    It takes courage to swim against the tide and even though I was sometimes a prick to you, I salute your contributions and wish yoy well.
    Same goes for Allan.
    Have a great Christmas and all the best to you and yours.

      • Hi JP,
        That was in response to OC’s farewell post which got took down.
        Hey, I’m a nice guy…you know that.
        And all the guests in my love dungeon would concur…

      • I missed that post, but I’m glad you’re not dying ( well, not any earlier than the expected four score and ten) as I have you pencilled in to do the decorations for the Christmas revels.

        We thought a Draculas’ cave theme would be amusing, and with your expertise creating cosy dungeon like environments, I thought you may have some ideas.

        Chin, chin!

      • I’m sorry I missed that post from OC Thomas but I agree with you 100%. If people hold opposing views to mine I have absolutely no desire to see them cancelled. This is Isac not that breeding ground for politicians the university of fucking Oxford. I for one would be very happy to see your return OC and best of luck with the driving!

      • I second that Arfur.

        I’ll say this, Opey knew his own mind.
        Didn’t pander and arse lick to curry favour,
        He stuck by his opinion.

        I wish him well.

        Ps
        Why did Admin take his post down?

      • So what?

        If he’s saying bye what’s wrong with saying bye to cunters?
        He contributed for years !

        Hey Cuntengine.
        Nice one👍
        I think more of you for that post wishing him happy Christmas 🎄
        And I liked you already.

        Ps
        Although I think you should be jailed and chemically castrated.😂

    • I like OC and totally empathise with his challenges of looking after an autistic family member.

      It is unimaginably fucking hard, emotionally gruelling and you’ll find *a cunt around every corner who tries to make your life even more difficult, I.e. local authorities, schools, health care.

      *A saying coined by a dear friend of mind. I didn’t appreciate just how apposite it was until I gave it some deep thought.

      • Couldn’t agree more Paul and I would add to your list of cunts social services, in fact they would be top of my list. Given half a chance they will really fuck you up, I’ve seen it with family members.

  11. 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

      A kookaburra in a African jungle despite being Australian

      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.

      • I think someone said that the soundtrack needed Howler monkeys, and some penny pinching idiot said “use this, it’s similar and those thick Northern cunts won’t know the difference”

        Good spot, Mis.

    • You old paperhanger!

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

  14. Pedant? moi? but obvious wrong sound effect for type/age of m/bike is sloppy production as is when “that isn’t a Merlin!” is said and as for the Austin Seven sounding like it’s got a straight 6 hidden somewhere. However I do believe Genevive did play the mouth organ (harmonica, before you start sniggering in the back row) in the film of that name.
    And it’s Bertram if you don’t mind BBC.
    Afternoon.

      • Oh that brings back sweet memories Chris. We had a Capri with that Essex lump. No temperament, anywhere, any speed, just push the loud pedal and it surged forward. Climbing a long, steep, straight hill, dual carriageway, on the A30 once, an Escort ahead pulled out into lane two to overtake slower traffic. I wondered why he was going so slowly, glanced at the clock, showing 105.

      • Years ago, arfur, when I still drove, I was going to some soleless place down the M1, in a brand new Nissan Primera. It had 56 miles on the clock when I picked it up.

        I’m steaming down, using all the lanes because I can actually drive, thinking “there’s a load of slow buggers on here today”, looks at the clock and I’m nudging a ton!

        Fuck me sideways! In my defence, it was such a smooth ride, like a magic carpet, and I was really enjoying myself.

      • Milton Keynes, that’s where I was going. What a soleless, featureless and depressing hole.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if the suicide rate there was higher than the national average.

      • Drove one of those as a hire car silky smooth it was too nit jelly mould looks didn’t do it for me.

      • Yes, that was a hire car, and a fucking revelation from the usual cheap and cheerful I used to buy.

        After that honey, I never bought a banger again ( except as a first car for Elder, to practice on)

      • Ho ho, yes indeed Odin!
        And a truck can leap off a bridge, clearly snapping the steering and suspension then carry on driving, despite the wheels looking like Marty Feldman’s eyes!

      • Trouble is these Hollywood/actor types have less technical knowledge than our cat. In the days when “Top Gear” was worth watching, i.e. before JC departed, the slot where they had a “star” driving round the track, half of them couldn’t drive a manual! Fatso Corden comes to mind. It gets in my fillings when some autocue reader on the BBC tries talking anything technical and are obviously clueless. Out of sight on this side of the camera is a whole crowd of technical people any one of whom could explain it to them if they had the humility to listen.

  19. Just watching the comedy show called the HoC, all the crying over Gaza and the arrest warrant for Netanyahu.

    The Labour cunts, the team P*ki, the SNP and the libs are a fucking disgrace. The government have put up some fucking no mark to fend off questions.

    I just wish the cunts would say yes we will arrest Netanyahu and hand him over to the ICC then mosad can take out the Labour front bench 😂

  25. Steve Foley played for Colchester in the 70s. He married the woman who lived next door to us.

    Too hot for a coat here.

    • My maths teacher was married to George Buchan.

      The (briefly) ex- Manchester United player, and brother of the legendary Martin Buchan. Unfortunately, George did not have his brother’s footballing talent or his brains.

      She died very young, aged about 35. Only teacher’s death I ever felt sad about when I was a lad. Very nice woman.

  26. Adding to His Lordship’s Cunting of motorcycle sound effects, where the fuck do they get the idea that bikes have 20+ fucking gears?
    Riders are constantly clicking up the box, but you never hear them changing down.
    Cunts.

  27. There are some everyday sounds permanently absent (I see in a 2nd tab “Silent Props Grocery Store Bags” – brown paper bags for movies etc., at $32.49 per unit!) … but anyways ; on two different occasions in ‘The Americans’, .. conversations that took place in a car that had been just driven but were by now in a garage, and engine turned-off .. the clanking of a cooling-down engine block were left-in, and it was all the better for it.

  28. I used to love the sound effects in Bottom.

    The crunching sound when Richie got his balls caught in a door or his nose smashed by a roof hatch.

    Or the cracking noises when Richie breaks his leg on his birthday.

    Then there’s the squelching, when Richie puts a pencil up Eddie’s nose.

    And there was also the dogs barking, as they attacked Richie and Eddie every time they left the pub.

  29. And the Batman TV series was, of course, ace.

    The day-glo sond effects hitting the screen in words, with usually a brass instruments stab to go with them.

    ‘POW!’ ‘SOCK!’ ‘KER-WhACK!’ ‘WHAMMM!’
