Line 3:
''"Fuck you," said the [[Ravens and Crows|raven]].''|''[[American Gods]]''}}
 
This is the usual response most people have when they hear a comment or joke they've heard [[Seen It a Million Times|a million times]] or more; particularly when said remark has long since stopped being funny, and moved past tiresome. For instance, when a person mentions [[Aquaman (Comic Book)|Aquaman]], she might mention that he talks to fish, and nothing else. The reaction of a comic fan? "Gee, I've [[Never Heard That One Before]] (often overlaid with heavy [[Sarcasm Mode|sarcasm]])." (It's also [[Did Not Do the Research|untrue]], for the record).
 
The recipient of the joke may also simply say, "[[If It Was Funny the First Time|It wasn't funny the first hundred times]]."
Line 55:
'''Eliot''': [awkward silence]<br />
'''Devil''': ''Yes'', there is a God. Honestly, you'd think meeting the Devil would be interesting enough. }}
* In ''[[The World Is Not Enough (Film)|The World Is Not Enough]]'', upon introducing herself to [[James Bond]], Doctor Christmas Jones says, "Don't make any jokes, I've heard 'em all." Bond effortlessly replies, "I don't know any doctor jokes." He does make a couple Christmas jokes eventually, including a truly wince-inducing one that's [[Quip to Black|the movie's last line]] ("I thought Christmas only comes once a year.").
** In ''[[Quantum of Solace]]'', being a more serious take on Bond, no jokes are made but the potential is noted by Ms. {{spoiler|[[The Beatles|Strawberry]]}} Fields.
* When the heroine of ''[[Juno]]'' introduces herself to the prospective adoptive father of her baby, he says "Like the city in Alaska!" She ''immediately'' deadpans "No." (She's actually named after the Roman queen of the gods; the city's name is spelled "Juneau.")
