S--t bits.

Nothing you don't know in this Guardian article on movie trailers, but it's still a decent read:
If it were a trailer for a comedy, this would be the point to introduce the "rug pull", the point at which the tone suddenly changes from mock-serious to unashamedly goofy; it is often accompanied on the soundtrack by the sound of a stylus being hurriedly removed from a record turntable. "There is a whole generation, raised on cassettes and CDs, for whom that sound has absolutely no meaning," Don Lafontaine points out. "And yet they continue to use it."

Speaking of the stylus scratch, even Tron wants to use that thing.
