When listing things, a character will repeat an item. Might end with "Did I mention X already?" when making a list. Common ways for it to show up are a list going "A, B, C, B, D, B, E... and did I mention B?" and "[[Blazing Saddles|You said X twice]]." "[[SpongeBob SquarePants|I]] ''[[So Good We Mentioned It Twice|like]]'' [[Blazing Saddles|X]]." These occur frequently, especially when listing things. This might also cause another character to remark "But of course!" in a French accent (in a play on the French expression ''mais bien sûr'').

With some websites and occasionally in [[Real Life]], the Department of Redundancy Department is referred to as an actual organization run by [[Captain Obvious]] with a side branch called the Branch of Awkward Wording (or, for bonus points, the Branch Of Awkward Wording Branch).

* [http://theodoregray.com Theodore Gray] created a "Periodic table table", which collects samples of (almost) all known elements in the ''periodic'' table in slots in an ''actual'' table. It became so popular that he decided to sell printed posters of it and announced their availability on Usenet. Promptly, it was pointed out that if he ever repeated that announcement, he might become a ''periodic periodic table table poster poster''. (This ''isn't'' actually an example of redundancy...).
