Andy made sure that he explained to his son, Opie, that they still were fond of Gomer, but they were annoyed with him trying to do good. When he spoke to Opie, he lowered his face to him and spoke to him in a sterner but soft and understanding voice to where Opie knew this was a learning experience. He was not mean but changed his tone to where Opie knows he was not joking around. Another change of tone in the Andy Griffith show was when Andy tried tricking Gomer that he had saved him. In this scene, Andy would speak to Gomer in a slower tone to make sure Gomer understood what he was trying to say. Gomer ended up hearing him loud and clear and fell for Andy’s “bait”.

Lorelai’s mother did now know that Lorelai was on the other end, but she thought it was a newly hired secretary. When Lorelai changed her voice and jokingly said, “Mr. Gilmore never mentioned he had a wife?” her mother got very upset. Lorelai later told her mother in the call that it was her. Her mother got annoyed with her changing her tone and hurried Lorelai to hand the phone over to her
