Line 251:
* In ''[[Rick and Morty]]'', every time someone opens a door to Rick's spaceship/car (whether to enter or exit it), several empty beer bottles are certain to fall out with a clatter. Rick is well known to be an alcoholic, and often pilots it while drunk, to Morty's horror.
* In the episode of ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003 series)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' where the Shredder's Elite Guard first appear, when ''each'' of the Turtles sees them for the first time, he exclaims, "Nice hats!" [https://turtlepedia.fandom.com/wiki/Foot_Elite_(2003_TV_series) Which they certainly do have.]
* ''[[The Smurfs]]'':
** Starting with the episode "The Astrosmurf", the cartoon had a joke that went like this: Papa Smurf would lead the other smurfs on a long journey. One would start to get tired, and ask "Is it much farther Papa Smurf?" and he'd reply, "Not far now." Then the scene would shift, another smurf would ask the question again, and he'd reply the same way. After four scene-shifts and being asked the question four times, he'd finally lose patience and reply, "YES IT IS!!" After that episode, the joke, or a version of it was used frequently throughout ''the whole run of the series'', whenever there was a scene involving a long walk or journey. (Even Gargamel, who tagged along with Smurfs in one episode, complained about the journey being too long.) In fact, in a late season, the joke was lampshaded; after the question was asked a second time, Papa Smurf snapped, "Oh, now don't start that again!"
** Brainy had a running gag that ended a lot of episodes. One of the smurfs would get upset at his annoying lectures, and he'd be thrown out of the village, land on his head, and make some sort of funny comment. (For instance, in "The Gingerbread Smurfs" episode, it happened when it was clear he hadn't learned a thing, and said, "I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles!") One time the episode ended outside the village, and he was thrown ''into'' it, surprised that had actually happened
