* This trope is comparatively rare in shorter works like webcomics and newspaper comics, but ''[[VG Cats]]'' stands out as an example—it often doesn't even have a punchline in the proper sense, ending the strip when it's out of jokes on the subject.
* [[Bug (webcomic)Martini|Bug]] uses this format all the time. The most common format for the comic is one panel of set-up and [[Rule of Three|three more panels]], each with a mini joke within them. "[http://www.bugcomic.com/comics/pizza-delivery/ Pizza Delivery]" is a good example of the comic's style, and it even has ''four'' mini jokes in it!
* A number of [[Xkcd]] comics, such as [http://xkcd.com/730/ this one] or [http://xkcd.com/482/ these] [http://xkcd.com/485/ two], present large panoramas built around a common theme saturated with jokes for this apparent purpose.
* The further [[Hiimdaisy]] goes, the more jokes in a single issue there are. Case in point: [[Little Kuriboh|LittleKuriboh's]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY8ZnAqUdgU voiceover of Let's Destroy Shagohod] ([[Metal Gear]] spoilers alert).

* Both of purpleeyeswtf's abridgements, [[Code MentMENT]] and [[None Piece]], make amazing use of this trope. Purpleyes' amazing comedic timing doesn't exactly hurt.
* ''[[Homestar Runner]]'' in general but especially ''[[Teen Girl Squad]]''.
* Chester A. Bum of ''[[Bum Reviews]]'' is practically the ''living embodiment'' of this trope.
Line 172:
* ''[[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]].
* All of [[Seanbaby]]'s writings are a cluster of connected jokes.
Line 185:
* Any cartoon produced by Jay Ward, especially ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]''.
* [[Tex Avery]] pioneered this in animation, starting with his work on ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' and then took it further at MGM. At [[Warner Bros]] the torch was carried by his acolyte Bob Clampett.
* The [[Tex Avery]]-inspired [[Steven Spielberg]]-produced cartoon shows ''[[Animaniacs]]'' and ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', and, to an even greater extent, ''[[Freakazoid!]]''.
* ''[[Xavier: Renegade Angel]]'' takes this to an extreme: pauses the voice actors put between jokes are ''digitally removed''.
* ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]''; made of Rapid-Fire Comedy and ADHD. Emphasis on "hyperactivity".
Line 191:
* ''[[Drawn Together]]''
* ''[[Robot Chicken]]''
* ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]''
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''
* ''[[Back at the Barnyard]]''
