Line 38:
*''[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31492754?view_full_work=true Mars Attacks: Simpsons]'' had a random character call a random location or person for a prank in each chapter.
* Paperwork in the ''[[Worm]]'' [[Alternate Universe Fic]] ''[[Mauling Snarks]]'' -- it seems like someone has to fill out paperwork for something ''every single day'', and the variety and purposes of the forms to be filled out sometimes reaches pinnacles of absurdity -- there's a form that has to be completed in order to play a prank on someone in the PRT building, for instance. Played with [[In-Universe]] with the requirements for submitting oneself to a tinker fugue, which are ridiculously (and intentionally) over-the-top and complex, combining excessive paperwork with what for all purposes is a scavenger hunt.
** Another in-universe running gag -- referred to as such by the participants -- exists, in which the Wards are subject to a conspiracy of silence about the courses and resources available to them, with the intention of teaching them to ask questions rather than just accept things as they seem to be. Those participating in the conspiracy gladly answer all questions, but do not volunteer any information, not even to suggest that the Wards should be asking questions.
