Rhodes Productions was the company behind Pitfall, the early-1980s game show hosted by Alex Trebek, and this clip is the jingle that played over its production card at the end of each episode. Logo stings from that era have become a small nostalgia genre online, traded on soundboards by game-show fans and meme editors who use them to sign off parody videos, much like the Law and Order DUN DUN bumper that closes dramatic edits. Decades later the Rhodes sting survives as shorthand for old-school television legitimacy.

The Rhodes Productions production-card jingle from the game show Pitfall. A short logo sting creators use for parody end cards and fake production credits.
This nine-second clip is the Rhodes Productions production-card jingle from the game show Pitfall, the kind of brief sign-off sting that once rolled over a company logo at the end of a broadcast. It has the unmistakable feel of early-eighties television: bright, brisk and self-important in a way modern end cards rarely attempt. The sound instantly tells a viewer that the show is over, the credits have rolled and a corporation was responsible. Dropped into a modern edit it lands as a joke about legitimacy, making anything from a backyard trivia video to a scripted sketch feel like a lost episode of vintage TV.
