You know how when comedians make a joke, then someone does that drum thing that's like "badum tiss?" I was wondering... does anyone know the history of this? Who used it first and where did it start? I can't seem to find any information about it.

It's called a sting....I have no idea where it came from though.
If I find out I’ll let you know but your question reminded me of this:Quote:

From my own Google searching, people seem to say it originated with Vaudeville acts at some point. Nothing official though.
"Play me off, Johnny!"
Hm. Well, thanks for looking guys. I feel like its been around forever, probably not important enough to be documented, though. I think Vaudeville acts is a good assumption.
Hah, what the heck? :lol:Quote:
