If It Was Funny the First Time: Difference between revisions

* [[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]. 97% of the episodes feature Team Rocket introducing themselves by way of reciting their motto and being 'blasted off' at the end of the episode. The other 3% feature variations of the same jokes. No longer done as of "Best Wishes" season.

* ''[[Clannad (Visual Novel)|Clannad]]'': The "Akio insults Sanae's bread, Sanae accidentally hears him, runs away crying and Akio runs after her eating it and yelling "I LOVE YOU!" gag" is used in exactly the above described fashion every time it crops up. And it appears ''eight'' times, the last two ''in the same episode''. To a lesser extent, nearly every appearance of Kotomi in the second season has her either [[Dreadful Musician|wanting to play her violin]], mentioning someone is a "bully", or both, and both are things she already did in the first season. Fortunately, most other gags are more original and funny, so this is forgivable.

* ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'': The cast (usually Colin) will take a hilarious moment from early in the episode and use it in everything from then on out. Usually this works out in their favor, as repeating it over and over tends to genuinely be funny (see: MEOW!). Subverted in one episode: during the infamous "TAPIOOOOCA!" fiasco during a game of ''Greatest Hits'' that left Ryan in stitches, Colin later tried to repeat the magic to try to crack Ryan up again, but Ryan signals that he doesn't find it that funny anymore and they continue without missing a beat.
