Gasp sound effect 3 times in less than 1 min (MasterChef)

This sound effect is becoming increasingly overplayed. When Masterchef used it 3 times in less than a minute I felt somebody should call them out on it. Any reality show with a large group or audience seems to be using this same audio clip several times per episode.

Feel free to post in the comments about times you've heard this sound effect used.

AGT must have used this literally about 10 times on Monday night. SO FAKE.

[esotericVideos]

I saw that. It was ridiculous.

[Jaysus777Live]

im just happy that someone else noticed this, first time i heard it i laughed and said really, a stock gasp effect? then i heard it used 3 more times within like 10 minutes and i died laughing. great upload, thank you

Couldn't be bothered to just use the real reaction? I'm sure these people were already plenty excited by their opportunity, but let's not cheapen it with this nonsense.

[Just3Boyzz]

they remind me of audiences that Tim and Eric portray in their show

[E. M. Lake]

SO WHAT?? Shows have added laugh tracks to promote laughing for 50 years. Nothing odd about it. Humans are emotional and when the audience does not produce enough actual emotional sound, it's easily added to make the show more enjoyable. Get a life and stop picking everything apart. It's a TV show. It's entertainment. Find something TRULY important to do with your life besides being critical of others. The internet has become THE home for nobodies to massage their own egos by being critical.

Was that black chick crying at the end? Was the master chef apron so damn AMAZING!!! that she couldn't hold back her tears? -__________-

I think every sound was exaggerated. Amazing, as if they thought we would never figure it out.

WHATS THE SONG ?? ITS SO GOOD !!

[Hanako Fairhall]

Mm, I know all about that, I have one of the Sound Libraries (something I picked up from Film School) but it doesn't have that in there.

[gab1159]

Yeah well almost every post-production studios use the same series of sound library. I studied sound engineering and it gets annoying when you hear sounds you're working with nights and days! Ahahaha still pretty funny though...

[gab1159]

Ahahahaha

[Piehash]

Thank you, I noticed this too and it pisses me off.

[Hanako Fairhall]

where did this sound even come from? o.0 there must be a stock library somewhere
