* ''[[Numb3rs]]'': In the later seasons whenever the FBI field agents go to a potential suspect, the suspects run, the agents tend to treat it more as an annoyance than an actual worry that the suspect might get away. Colby especially cottoned on to this to the point of becoming [[Genre Savvy]] and [[Lampshade Hanging]] whenever it happened or was about to happen, making this an example of a literal ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Running Gag]]''.
* ''[[You Can't Do That on Television]]'' built itself on running gags. For instance, any time someone on the show says "Water", they get water dumped all over them. Any time someone says "I don't know", they get covered in green slime (sometimes different colors).

** Soft Kitty - you know what, the main page for the show has all of them.
* Done a lot in [[Only Fools and Horses]]. Apart from the series gags like Trigger calling Rodney Dave, various others come up in individual episodes.

** Billy's constant use of [[Techno Babble]], requiring Trini to translate. This was retired after season 1.

** The high school principal's [[Dodgy Toupee]]; happens almost every time he appears.
** Rita Repulsa's frequent headaches, undoubtedly caused by stress, usually part of her [[Surrounded by Idiots]] rants. Sadly for Rita, her eventual [[Heel Face Turn]] did not help, as she still has stress headaches in ''[[Power Rangers Mystic Force]]'' when the heroes are in trouble.
