humorous sounds . . .
On April 30, I posted the haiga:
cow pond --
the plop, plop
of frogs
now I'm searching for words that have a humorous sound AND that describe a sound. like burp, splosh, titter, thwack, gurgle . . . Any suggestions?

oh yes.
quack!
it cracks me up.
for some reason that made me think of another word that makes me laugh just to type it: pollywog
Years ago I saw someone accidentally knock over a lobby ashtray. The sound that came to mind was, "ker-sprinkle-sprinkle". It may not be amusing but seemed to fit the moment.
ker- in front of word does make sound more amusing, it must be that "k" sound. Kerplunk, kerthunk, kersprinkle . . .
and i've also found: honk, yowl, grumble, tinkle, poot, toot, gargle, slosh, snort & crinkle.
boing, zoom, whap, sniff, zing, etc. :)
boing is good! especially used in repetition. boing boing boing . . .
Of course their is Japanese Onomatopoeia:
