Famous Cries and Announcer's Calls Quiz

It's quiz time again on Numbsain's Unwind which means it's time to get out the old brain and test your random access memory processing ability. Tricky part is for something to be famous it has to have been around for some time. And time is the memories worst enemy. The longer it's been kickin' around the archives the harder it is to call it up. Plus when you get old you start to lose your memory so that's...why...um, well...I...what was I just talking about? Nevermind, just take the quiz and if you get 10 out of 12 answers right, reward yourself with a bowl of tapioca pudding. Oh and this is a timed quiz. You have until December of 2018 to complete it.
