    Makes me think of how I always used to wonder what would happen if you had The Clapper connected to your TV when The Clapper commercial came on. Would you keep having to clap to turn your TV back on?

      Really any loud noise could trigger it. I don’t recall TVs really doing it, though. Maybe if the volume was way up, but in general I think they ignored normal levels of sound.

        My curiosity came from the old lady at in bed the end of the commercial who claps her TV off and then just sort of passes out.
