Line 97:
* ''[[iCarly]]'': Happens more and more as the show goes into its fourth season. Notable example being the episode ''iGet Pranky''.
* Exaggerated and lampshaded in [[Community]], when Pierce prepares jokes in advance for viewing the [[So Bad It's Good]] movie, KickPuncher 2
{{quote| '''Pierce''': Change! Time to change the channel! This guy'll be begging for change soon, he keeps making movies this terrible! We should change to something good, this movie stinks! We should change his diaper. That's change we can believe in!<br />
'''Abed''': [Hits pause] Okay, it's obvious something strange is happening here.<br />
'''Pierce''': What are you talking about? I'm making jokes during a movie.<br />
'''Troy''': Yeah, but you're doing it with the speed and determination of the incomparable [[Robin Williams]]. }}
* ''[[Mork and Mindy]]'' often got into this; understandable, since [[Robin Williams]] was the star. [[Word of God]] is that the scriptwriters would often simply write "[[Harpo Does Something Funny|Robin does something funny]]" for him to improvise something on the spot.
Line 116:
** On at least one occasion they manage to keep a wild stream of jokes going until the first musical interlude (some seven or more minutes in) without even getting in-character let alone allowing any kind of plot to develop.
* ''[[Hello Cheeky]]'' tried to fit as many jokes into a half-hour as possible, with one or two musical interludes every episode. However, since the musical interludes were performed by the regular cast and written humorously, the jokes never actually stopped.
{{quote| '''Man:''' Waiter! This steak's off!<br />
'''Waiter:''' I'll get its hat and coat, sir.<br />
'''Man:''' Fetch me the manager!<br />
'''Waiter:''' I shouldn't bother, sir, he tastes worse than the steak. }}
 
Line 171:
** This is also quite evident in the '[[Marik Plays Bloodlines]]' [[Let's Play]] series.
* ''[[Loading Ready Run]]'' has two [http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/archive/bonus/date/desc?search=comedy+ so+ fast rapidfire] series.
{{quote| "Comedy so fast The Flash once said, 'Even though I am technically faster than Superman, I too agree that this comedy is quicker than what you typically see.'"}}
* ''[[5 Second Films|Five Second Films]]''; Each video is [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|five seconds long]]. And usually hilarious.
* [[AMV Hell]] is a series of fan videos with a style of humor curiously similar to Robot Chicken (in spite of being created before Robot Chicken aired). Anime clips, no more than a minute long, are set to music or audio from a different source for comedic effect. It also lasts for more than an hour, and it's [[Better Than It Sounds]].
Line 195:
* ''[[Back at the Barnyard]]''
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' can sneak up on you like this.
{{quote| '''Mr. Burns:''' It's as big as a football field and weighs as much as the state of New Hampshire. I only flew it once at an altitude of six feet for a distance of four feet. Then we discovered that rain makes it catch fire. Then the Fuhrer fired me.}}
* ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'' is fond of this as well. There are many scenes where literally every line of dialogue is a punchline.
* [[Megas XLR]]
