Line 195:
== [[Radio]]: Or, The spoken word of the human voice transmitted miraculously upon the aether by the appropriate application of wireless emissions of suitable wavelength, to be received across great distances by a carefully calibrated apparatus ==
* Although the actual title is given as ''Punt and Dennis: It's Been A Bad Week'', that comedy current-affairs show is often referred to by the title of its prize - ''[[Department of Redundancy Department|The Worst Week of the Week Award, Awarded Weekly on a Week-by-Week Basis]]''. Which is mentioned at the end of every round.
* One episode of BBC radio comedy ''[[The Burkiss Way]]'' is usually referred to as "Lesson 45: Write Extremely Long Titles The Burkiss Way". The ''full'' title, given in the Radio Times, was "Lesson 45: Write Extremely Long Titles With Lots And Lots Of Words In, Like This, So That The Radio Times Will Have To Allot More Space Than The Measly Half A Centimetre Of Billing Space We Usually Get And At Least It'll Look A Bit More Prominent On The Page, Although Still Nowhere Near The 50 Column Inches They Give To The Hitch-hiker's Guide To The Galaxy The Burkiss Way".
== [[Recorded and Stand Up Comedy]]: Or, Amusingly Droll Presentations Given for the Entertainment of Listeners Either In Person or Through Some Manner of Mechanical or Electric Transcription ==
* The comedy troupe [[The Firesign Theatre]] is known for (among other things) the very long titles they gave their earliest albums: ''Waiting for the Electrician or Someone Like Him'' (1968), ''How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All'' (1969) and ''Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers'' (1970).
== [[Theatre]]: Or, Works written with the intention of live performance in front of an audience upon the theatrical stage ==
