Sample from "Arrgh!"

"My leg!" is a stock sound effect provided by Doug Lawrence that consists of the titular exclamation and is mostly associated with the character Fred. The effect has been used throughout the series as a running gag akin to the Wilhelm scream. The Season 11 episode "My Leg!" pays homage to this gag.

  • The gag was never used in seasons 4 or 7.
  • On the topic of the gag, Doug Lawrence said "and if you've ever wondered where the show's often-used exclamation of "My leg!" came from, Mr. Lawrence (voice of Plankton) had a definitive answer: "It was an ad-lib. [The scene called for] everyone writhing in pain and I said it and I kept saying it. Fans started talking about it and named him Fred. He has his own episode."[1]
