In case you didn't read the title, I'm interested in where you have heard game show sound effects, but NOT on other game shows.
Example: I have a clip on my site (http://\"http://www.gameshowvideos.com\") of a Beakman's World game show spoof with 4 Scrabble sound effects and one from Pyramid.

I am setting the over/under on when someone ignores this clarification at 10 posts.

Well, MG 7x used the TPiR bells (someone whispers to Brandon, then smacks him upside the head)...oh really? Damn!
;-)
Seriously, there's a "Fresh Prince" episode featuring a fictional game show, "Double Trouble" (hosted by Bob Eubanks). Not quite a sound effect, but the think music is "Supermarket Sweep"'s Round Robin music.
EDIT: I've heard the Wheel puzzle chimes on NBA games before.
-
I can't recall the titles of either individual episode, but here goes...
Spongebob Squarepants: When Spongebob threw an "alien" into [IIRC] Sandy's rocket, the TPIR bell sounded as a display read "01".
Dexter's Laboratory: I forgot what character it was, but they had a boggled look on their face, and the J! "boop boop boop" sounded.

While at an antique store, the cuckoo heard from a cuckoo clock sounded like the cuckoo heard on various Bob Stewart-produced programs.
The buzzer heard at a basketball game I attended last night was reminiscent of the tacky buzzer for the Peter Marshall-hosted episodes of The Hollywood Squares.
And someone's car horn in the supermarket parking lot which was tooting, tooting, tooting sure was a dead ringer from the time's up indicator on the 1990s editions of Pictionary.

Not as ridiculous as Don's, but I do know the Round Robin from the first season or two of Ruprecht's "Sweep" was also featured on "The Jeffersons" many years earlier in a game show spoof called "Wheel Of Forever".

Enh. Opinions vary. It's a little played out, for me. But it's probably just me.
EDIT: Let me qualify myself. I like Don. I just think the streak he's been on of late is more of a rut.

I thought the whole point of 'dry humor' was that it was funny. I don't see the humor in "I'm going to circumspectly poke fun at the original topic by saying "I heard the $20,000 Pyramid bell when I checked in at the Peoria Holiday Inn!" If you're going to be funny, be funny. If not, don't excrete in the punch bowl.

The only one that comes to my mind:
The buzz-in noise on Hollywood Showdown can be heard on some older Windows computers as an error noise.

Here are some: I have heard the "Times up" horns from the 1998 Hollywood Squares in the Hey Arnold ep "Rhonda Goes Broke." I have heard the Scrabble buzzer on an ep of "Saved by the Bell." I have heard the Eazy Az 123 think music on Black Family Channel during a segment called "Think About It."

However, it's been so long that I've seen Jackpot that I can't even begin to be sure that it's sound effect is in that song or not. Can anyone validate?

I checked the internet and found another sound they used from Windows. (The one they played when they were in the middle of a game on Friday.) So perhaps the rest of them are too.
Gee, there's an easy way of getting sound effects; take 'em right off a PC!

Actually, I've heard it somewhere else too; in a Burger King commercial. (It's stock music, but darn good stock music!)
As for King For A Day, it sounds similar, but I don't think it's the same sound effect. (One of my favorite songs of all-time, BTW)
Speaking of which, that reminded me of something. There's one GS sound effect I know is in a song; "Gone, Go On" by The Pinker Tones. At various times in the song, they play the door #4 intro sound effect from LMAD '84.

The FF answer reveal bell can be heard occasionally on America's Funniest Home Videos, among the other SFX they use in their vids.

In "Airplane II", the scene where passengers walk under a metal detector uses Feud SFX, mainly the strike buzz and lockout buzzer.
-
The radio station's trivia contests here always use the Match Game 7x "ding" noise for correct answers.
-
I've heard TPIR "losing horns" on the Adam Carolla Radio Show.
-
I use GS FX in lieu of various Windows sounds.
If that wasn't nerdy enough, I created a soundboard through Powerpoint which borrowed various GS and non-GS sounds because I had nothing better to do on Christmas vacation and because members of my schools gaming club desired wacky sounds.
-
CBS' NFL Today used the Feud answer reveal cue when the commentators made predictions on that day's games.

That reminds me to get the GS sounds back in my computer and into my audio software. Thanks! :)

If you consider theme music to be part of the sound effects, I remember being home sick from school one day in the mid'-70s, and watching the ABC Afternoon Playbreak - or whatever they called it. It was a monthly 90-minute special that usually aired from 1:30-3 p.m.
Anyway, they had a story one time about a woman who appeared on a game show, and they actually played the about 20 seconds of The Hollywood Squares theme as the theme from that show. I was quite surprised...

If William Loose was credited with the score--and if there was a credit to "Newman-Tillar Associates" in the credits (I believe it was the production house he worked for), it wouldn't be all that surprising.

On the Weekanders, The theme song had the TPIR bells.

On Glenn Beck's radio show, during Moron Trivia, he uses the famous CBS game show ding, the "Family Feud" strike sound and the time's up doot-doot-doot from "Jeopardy!"

[/quote]He does use the last two, but the "correct" sound is more like a generic clang.

For ye Strong Bad Email fans...the email "invisibility" uses the strike buzzer from Feud. Strong Bad accompanies it with "Survey says, you're an idiot."
-
Don't know why....
But at Six flags New Jersey, the simulator ride (Dino Island, Superstition) has a seat belt lock that sounds like the opening of the drop zone on "Russian Roulette". Probably not actually a sound effect but the actual mechanics of locking the seat belts on the ride (and possibly the mechanical sound on RR too.)

The name of that ABC Afternoon Playbreak special was The Girl Who Couldn't Lose; it starred Julie Kavner (then of Rhoda) and Jack Carter. The fake game show she was on was called Lucky 13.
-
I do remember that special. Pre-empted "The Big Showdown" that day. Not cool.
-
I've heard TPIR "losing horns" on the Adam Carolla Radio Show.
One of the radio stations I work for also uses them, among other SFX in their library.

On the animated show "Family Guy" there was this one episode in which the men were taking a tour of a beer factory. There's this one scene in which they enter a room that's a beer wonderland, complete with beer waterfalls and such, clearly a parody of the entry to the idyllic chocolate room or "nerve center" in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
The music played as they entered this beer fantasy room sounded remarkably similar to the Range Finder music on TPiR. It does have a similar note progression to the parallel soundtrack in the Wonka film.
-
I recently heard Family Game Night's spinning sound effect from the Twister Lights Out game on the "Schitt's Creek" episode "Rock On!"
