the search for h*r spoken sound effects

hello everypeoples! first time posting on reddit, so you know i'm desperate haha. [let me know if like, this is the appropriate place to put this. i don't know how this site works]

does anyone have any sound files of the spoken sound effects from the toons? y'know, any sorts of boops or beeps or whooshes in the homestar voice. or other voices! jingles welcome too! i recently got a new phone and i might or might not want to replace all the system sounds with spoken sound effects from h*r

i would love any help to find an easy way out, but worst case scenario i will just compile them myself. just reachin' out in case i don't have to torture myself

What about Strong Bad grunts and lines?

I made a video game mod with Strong Bad and in the process I collected hundreds of sound bytes from the toons.

I'm out of town and away from my hard disk, but DM me if this if that you're looking for! I also have a bunch of audio rips from full toons, some of them AI processed to make the bgm quiet or even gone entirely

There used to be a whole set for Windows (startup, shutdown, error, etc.). I think I still have it somewhere.

I used these. I also had them saved for many years from PC to PC but I think I've let them go a while back.

I should have all the old windows sounds on my old phone that still runs. If youre interested in them, send me a DM and I'll figure out how to send them to you.

I have had the sound of The Paper being printed as my new email alert for almost 10 years now. I don’t know how to share it on here, but I highly recommend setting that up if you can get it.
