Mr. Bones: Jan 2, 2011; ain't no law says a skeleton can't play the blues

I don't know why but I guess some sound designer in Japan in the early 2000s decided these goofy rear end Nickelodeon Gak sound effects were appropriate to put in survival horror games. Some of the worst offenders I can think of are The Ring: Terror's Realm and D2 on Dreamcast, which made copious use of them. I think Silent Hill 4 might have even used them - I know it definitely made some weird sound effect choices like generic burp sounds when hitting some enemies and the weird long-tongued dogs that roared like jaguars.

I love the part in Jurassic Park where Nedry slips and falls down a small hill, and there's a generic cartoon sound effect like you'd hear when someone slips on a banana peel (skip to 0:41)
