I always smile when I see the text "Wilhelm scream" somewhere. Not becouse I'm a retard, but becouse my real name is Wilhelmi.

I <3 Wilhelm Scream! As a sound editior/director, I try to use it in all of my movies. I was literally ROFLing when I heard the little Transformer scream it in "Transformers".

There's some other great classic sounds out there, such as "The Castle Thunder", "The Goofy Holler" and "The Tarzan Yell"

There's also this one scream that I absolutely love, that I hear often. Howie Long screams it in the beginning of this clip:
