It has been featured in films by Quentin Tarantino, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, many Disney films, and quite a few more. More recently, the wilhelm scream has been used in television shows, music, video games, and internet videos.

2. A Wilhelm Scream is a melodic hardcore punk band from New Bedford, Massachusetts, started in 1996. Having been previously gone under the names Smackin' Isaiah and Koen, the band changed its name to A Wilhelm Scream, a reference to the above stock sound effect. Many critics have referenced Strike Anywhere, Propagandhi, and Hot Water Music as similar artists.

A Wilhelm Scream 

1. One of THE BEST melodic hardcore bands on the fucking market. They're amazing songwriters and every member of the band is a talented musician. Most often flamed as "just another yelling, angry band" solely because of their frequent use of the word "Fuck".
They recently picked up Mike Supina and Bri Robinson, who are amazing musicians.

Mike's a really rad guy.
The current line up as of March 28, 2008 is as follows:
Nuno Pereira-Vocals
Nick Angellini-Drums
Trevor Reilly-Guitar/Vocals
Bri Robinson-Bass/Vocals
Mike Supina-Guitar/Awesome

2. A repeated sound effect used in early films for the death of a male character.
1. On March 15th, I saw A Wilhelm Scream with The Unseen, The Side Affects, and Crack and Divide. I got to go backstage and meet the band, they fucking rock even more offstage than they do on.

And that's saying ALOT.

2. Did you here the wilhelm scream in God of War, it's so cheesy!

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
