I want sound effects. People cheering or booing, maybe a rim shot Welcome to Instant Rimshot, grumbling, "you're fired", or a mweep mwa.

Could you make that happen, moderator?

When I was a media specialist I had a hidden speaker by the charge out desk. If I or someone else said something I thought was funny, I could push a hidden button for a laugh track. It was very silly and very popular for a little while.

I also kept a drop ceiling, ceiling vent nearby behind the desk. Whenever someone started complaining about something, I would interrupt, pull out my "prop" and ask them if they would like to "vent". That was popular too and more often than not turned the situation around.
