Do not confuse with Running Gag or anything (words or otherwise) that just happens a lot." Also examples should say were they are from, not just link to it.) |

* ''[[Broken Saints]]'' has a great many, most notably [[Tagline|"What would you give to know the truth?"]] "This was not meant for me!" the LEAR/SPEC/SILO [[Significant Anagram|anagram]], and anything printed on the Vagrant's board. |

* Several Strong Bad Emails in a row in ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' featured the words "DNA evidence," which later turned out to lead to a cartoon of the same name, where the seemingly out-of-context utterances were explained. (The last email to feature these words only did this in an [[Easter Egg]], which involved Homestar wearily saying these words after a long silence, as if he was obliged to continue the gag.) |

* From [[The Nostalgia Chick]]'s ''Dark Nella Saga'': "Embrace your inner fangirl". [[Squee]] over pretty boys and musicals is what manages to bring the old Nella back. |

* In an odd case ''[[RWBY]]'' has arc words not in its dialogue, but in its soundtrack and ''songs''. For instance, the phrase "bloody evolution" appears in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wwohhs3LvRQ "This Will Be The Day"], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzYAKDUaR18 "All Things Must Die"] and several other songs. Some songs act like a [[Leitmotif]], and keep reappearing in different forms, like Weiss's [[Image Song]] from the "White" Trailer, "Mirror, Mirror". |
