Each cut usually lasts only a second or two, sometimes less; the exact timing can vary slightly from cut to cut. In some cases involving dialog, just the actor's last few words may be repeated rather than the whole line.

[[Rule of Three|Three]] cuts seems to be the favorite, but it's also not uncommon to see the technique [[Parody Satire Pastiche|parodied]] by doing a [[Overly Long Gag|ridiculously large]] number of cuts, often with a [[Lampshade Hanging|running commentary]] from the cast. For [[Rule of Funny|super extra hilarity]], the characters may even [[Medium Awareness|interact with the cuts]]. When something completely ordinary gets a Repeat Cut, it's [[What Do You Mean
