Line 10: {{examples}} == [[Film]] ==▼ ~~== Comedy ==~~ * [[Brian Posehn]] in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chiVMrWMHko Metal By Numbers]:▼ {{quote\|We're coming to the end of the first verse▼ Then comes the breakdown, a pretty chorus and then the second verse▼ I know I just rhymed "verse" with "verse"▼ That's because [[Heavy Meta\|I'm so metal]], [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch\|bitch]], where's your fucking purse? }}▼ ▲== Film == * "Star Spangled Man" from ''[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]'' rhymes "America" with, "America" too many times to count. Considering the song is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of 1940s patriotic propaganda songs, they might have done this for [[Stylistic Suck]] purposes. ** And because not much rhymes with America anyway. * ''[[Wag the Dog]]'': Albania rhymes with ... Albania. == [[Literature]] ==▼ ▲== Literature == * The actual last piece of original material in the seventy-three-book [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe\|Eighth Doctor Adventures]] is a song with a certain amount of this. Way to be, Fitz. All the rhyming lines rhyme with each other, and two lines end with the word "true", two with "do", two with "you", one with "too" and one with "to". Also, there's an "oh so true" in there. * From Eeyore's poem in ''[[Winnie the Pooh\|The House at Pooh Corner]]'': Line 33 ⟶ 24: Buther. }} === Poetry === * In most of [[Edward Lear]]'s early limericks, the first and last lines are the same, with this as the inevitable consequence. [http://wonderingminstrels.blogspot.com/2000/03/there-was-old-man-with-beard-edward.html One] rhymes "beard" with "beard".▼ * Dante Alighieri did this intentionally in the Divine Comedy. To prevent any sense of blasphemy, he only rhymed the word "Christ" with "Christ." Notable in that he had to do it three times do to the rhyming system of the Comedy (ABA CAC).▼ * [[Edgar Allan Poe]] sometimes did this to deliberate effect, e.g., in ''The Raven'':▼ {{quote\|"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,▼ Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly ''shore''--▼ Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian ''shore''!" }}▼ * [[Jorge Luis Borges]] did it occasionally, most notably in [https://web.archive.org/web/20111211072224/http://www.cafenocturno.com/poesia/arte_poetica.htm "Arte Poetica"], where every rhyme is of this kind, with system ABBA.▼ == [[Live-Action TV]] == * In ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', Lister explains that there aren't many things that rhyme with Kochanski's name, so his song uses "underpantski" twice. == [[Music]] ==▼ ▲== Music == * [[Eminem]] is guilty of this at times, most notably in "Still Don't Give A Fuck": {{quote\|Got your girl on my arm and I'm armed with a firearm Line 293 ⟶ 291: * Big Sean's "Dance" rhymes "what's up" with "shut up". == [[Recorded and Stand Up Comedy]] == ▲* [[Brian Posehn]] in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chiVMrWMHko Metal By Numbers]: ▲{{quote\|We're coming to the end of the first verse ▲Then comes the breakdown, a pretty chorus and then the second verse ▲I know I just rhymed "verse" with "verse" ▲That's because [[Heavy Meta\|I'm so metal]], [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch\|bitch]], where's your fucking purse? }} == ~~Poetry~~[[Theatre]] == ▲* In most of [[Edward Lear]]'s early limericks, the first and last lines are the same, with this as the inevitable consequence. [http://wonderingminstrels.blogspot.com/2000/03/there-was-old-man-with-beard-edward.html One] rhymes "beard" with "beard". ▲* Dante Alighieri did this intentionally in the Divine Comedy.

Line 311 ⟶ 305: * [[Red House Painters]]' Mark Kozelek usually avoids this. On the song "Have You Forgotten", though, he accidentally lets one slip: "That's when friends were nice, To think of them just makes you feel nice." == [[Video Games]] ==▼ ▲== Video Games == * Though written, Pokiehl in ''[[Legend of Mana]]'' tries writing a poem about Watts, but is clearly struggling to come up with anything to say about him. The first three lines all end with the word "helm", and the last doesn't even try to rhyme. * Occurs twice in the song "Full Tank (All Masters' RAP)" from [[Parappa the Rapper]]: Line 323 ⟶ 316: I gotta go, so yes open up, ya know! }} == [[Web Animation]] ==▼ * ''[[Homestar Runner]]'': ▲== Web Animation == ** ~~[[Homestar Runner\|~~Strong Bad]] comments on this during Marzipan's song "[http://hrwiki.org/wiki/Sensitive_To_Bees Sensitive to Bees]," where she rhymes "cute" with "cute" and "cute," after rhyming it with [[Painful Rhyme\|"fruit"]]. {{quote\|'''Strong Bad:''' "Cute", ''"cute"'' and "cute." [[Sarcasm Mode\|You're the poet laureate of-]]}} : Crackotage generally [[Rhymes on a Dime]], but in [https://web.archive.org/web/20131112215917/http://www.homestarrunner.com/cheatcommandos4.html Commandos in the Classroom]: {{quote\|'''Crackotage:''' Movie night is my favorite night. I think it is my favorite night. Hee hee hoo hoo! '''Silent Rip:''' Are you even trying anymore? And in an [[Easter Egg]]... '''Crackotage:''' [[Lampshade Hanging\|I think my rhymes are truly broke!]] Broke, broke, broke, broke, broke, broke, broke! }} * The [[~~Jib Jab~~JibJab]] Christmas song "Santa Claus" has one: {{quote\|'''Santa:''' I'm running out of dough, The bills ain't getting paid. ''[camera cuts to Santa in bed with Ma Claus]'' I can't remember when, The last time I got... ''<nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Beat]], camera cuts back to Santa grabbing dollar bills]'' paid! }} == [[Web Original]] == * The theme to the joke [[I'm a Marvel And I'm a DC\|"Rorschach and Wolverine"]] rhymes "psychopath" with itself: {{quote\|Rorschach and Wolverine, they make a great team. He's a psychopath, he's also a psychopath. I don't think the premise really works.}} Line 353 ⟶ 345: * ''[[Todd in the Shadows]]'' complains about this, especially when it's done multiple times in the same song. Though he reacts worse when people "rhyme" words that obviously don't rhyme, no matter how much you distort them. == [[Western Animation]] == * In ''[[The Simpsons (animation)\|The Simpsons]]'' episode "Team Homer," the bowling team has taken to chanting motivational chants at each other during games: {{quote\|All but Homer: Come on, Homer! Come on, Homer! / Pretend this is baseball and hit us a homer! ''(Homer gets a strike; they cheer)'' Line 394 ⟶ 386: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Poetry Tropes~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Music Tropes]] [[Category:~~Rhyming~~Poetry ~~with Itself~~Tropes]]
