* In the comedy radio program ''Fibber McGee and Molly'', Fibber McGee's infamous [[Exploding Closet|avalanche-waiting-to-happen closet]] was a skillfully managed [[Running Gag]], doled out at unpredictable intervals to simultaneously keep it fresh for the audience and build anticipation for its next appearance. (It was even subverted once or twice when Fibber went to his closet and the well-known crash and clatter of falling junk failed to materialize, after which Molly announced she had just cleaned it out the day before.) As a matter of fact, the entire show was constructed around a large collection of carefully husbanded running gags.
* The British 60s comedy show ''
* Internet radio show ''[[Two Sense]]'' has had several, including substituting foreign names the hosts can't pronounce with [[As Long As It Sounds Foreign|"Schleigelhoffen"]], uncovering the infamous Dead Baby Ring, and of course, screaming '''"FUCK! BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!"'''
* ''~CommanderBond.net~'''s podcast and "Anatole Taubman".
* ''[[The Frantics]]''' classic "Last Will and Temperment" sketch has an internal running gag -- "And one for Jenny and the Wimp!"
* What? No love for [[The Jack Benny Program|Jack Benny]]: the man who was born in 1894 and died in 1974 at the age of 39? And let's not forget his penny-pinching ways.
* ''[[The Goon Show]]'' has gags ''in'' episodes, and gags ''between'' episodes, and both qualify. Especially when [[They Killed Kenny|Bluebottle dies]].
