== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[One Hundred and Twenty Seven127 Hours]]'': It's a movie about a man who gets his arm crushed under a rock. Three guesses where you hear this sound.
* ''[[Undercover Brother]]'': [[Subverted Trope|Subverted]]. The title character is about to stomp a [[Mook]] who's lying on the ground. We see him stomp and hear a horrible crunching sound as he twists his foot but we don't actually see the stomp connect. Just when you think he's smashed the [[Mook]]'s head in, the camera looks down and we see that UB actually smashed a bag of potato chips. Watch it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npLxflgAqzY#t=3m12s here].
* ''[[The Three Stooges]]'' used this effect to an absurd extent, which [[Amusing Injuries|added to the hilarity]]. For example, even Moe twisting Curly's nose or ears would be accompanied by a loud crackling noise.
* ''[[The Dark Knight]]'': Batman holds Maroni off the edge of a building, threatening him for information. When Maroni informs him that it's not high enough to kill him, Batman agrees, then promptly drops him. The crunch when he lands on his ''feet'' is sickening to say the least.
* ''[[The Ruins]]'': Two girls decide it is a [[What an Idiot!|good idea]] to ''pick up and move'' a man who has just fallen 20+ feet and says he can't feel his legs. [[Sickening Crunch]] [[Hilarity Ensues|Ensues]].
* ''[[Insidious (Film)|Insidious]]'': The sound that heralds the appearance of the demon is supposed to be the sounds of bones breaking, adding an extra shiver factor.
== [[Literature]] ==
* ''[[Discworld]]'': Used from time to time. [[Trope Overdosed|How could it not be?]]
* Pops up in [[A Song of Ice and Fire (Literature)|A Song of Ice and Fire]] when {{spoiler|Ser Gregor Clegane kills Oberyn Martell. It's not shown just how Ser Gregor kills Oberyn, but judging from the sound and Ellaria's and Tyrion's reactions, it was a horrific way to go.}}
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Most Extreme Elimination Challenge]]'', itself a [[Gag Dub]], would use and overuse this to a hilarious extent.
* ''[[Ultraman Leo]]'' uses this in the first ep.
* Happens in ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (TV)|Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'' where {{spoiler|Basco shows how powerful his 'true form' is by catching Gai's spear and then breaking his arm, complete with crunch.}}
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==

== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]'': Some of the more brutal finishing moves have audible ''crack''s of bones breaking.
* ''[[Dark Corners of the Earth|Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth]]'': If you walk around with a broken leg, a sickening ''crack'' is heard with every step.
* ''[[Fallout 3]]'': Fall damage is accompanied by a ''crunch''.
* ''[[Half-Life 2 (Video Game)|Half-Life 2]]'': If you take fall damage, the ''crack'' of a broken bone is heard, accompanied by the [[Powered Armor|HEV suit's]] computer informing you of the injuries.
** The same thing happens in ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'', minus the computer voice. Likely because these games are both made by [[Valve]], using a similar (if not the same) game engine.
* ''[[Mad WorldMadWorld]]'': Happens a lot here.
* ''[[Minecraft]]'' replaced the long-standing "OOGH" damage sound with an absolutely spine-chilling set of crunching, cracking, and gibbing sounds. Some of these are even given titles such as "Hurt Flesh.wav".
* ''[[MirrorsMirror's Edge]]'': Try jumping off a roof. You'll hear it.
* ''[[Samurai Shodown]]'': Hanzou's fatality consist in him swiftly breaking the arm, leg, ribs and then ''[[Family-Unfriendly Death|skull]]'' of his victim, all with audible cracks and shots of the broken bones inside.
* ''[[Super Paper Mario (Video Game)|Super Paper Mario]]'': When Mimi reveals her monster form, her neck ''snap''s as her head starts spinning around. Unexpectedly disturbing for a Mario game.
* [[WWE All Stars]] which has over the top versions of wrestling moves makes the submissions more extreme looking by stretching the victim more than normal and adding a loud bone cracking/crunching sound.
* In the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Kmmggc6jH8 intro movie] for ''[[BaldursBaldur's Gate]]'', [[Big Bad|Sarevok]] strangles an unnamed character so hard it makes scrunching noises. The dead body falling to the ground from a height after that also makes a crunch.
* Some moves in [[Soul Calibur]] are accompanied by sickening crunches. Ivy's "wrap the whip sword around their neck and pull it '''through'''" move is especially nasty.
 
Line 52:
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* On one episode of ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'', [[The Hero|Finn's]] legs get crushed by a stag, which causes a very cringeworthy sound.
