As is so often the case, particularly with things in this thread, TV Tropes has a trope for the phenomenon – it's called Audible Sharpness. And the way audiences become conditioned to hear or see such stock effects (the 'whump' of punches connecting, the beeping of computers doing something, lens flare, noisy explosions in space, etc. etc.) s known there as The Coconut Effect: named for the way in which coconut shells were used to create the sound of horses' hooves so often, audiences have come to expect that sound even though it's not what horses' hooves actually sound like unless they're trotting over cobbles. Both tropes are subtropes of one called Reality Is Unrealistic.

Wasn't Compo's technique to take a spoonful of sugar from the bowl, upend the bowl into his cup then replace the spoonful?
