Jeopardy began as an American quiz show created by Merv Griffin in 1964 and has been adapted in many countries, including Sweden. Its music and stingers became shorthand for thinking time, final answers and sudden judgement. The Swedish version uses this localised sting, which spread online through soundboards as a reaction for quiz and reveal jokes. It sits alongside other television punctuation sounds like the Law and Order DUN DUN, where a two second hit instantly tells viewers a verdict has arrived.
