* There's a reason ''[[Harry Potter]]'' is the [[Trope Namer]] for [[Hold Your Hippogriffs]].
Line 24:
'''Daughter:''' Mouseke-yuck! }}
** Then, of course, there was the chant of "Meeska, mooska, Mouseketeer!" Given that the original show premiered during the height of the [[Cold War]], the Slavic sound of those first two words results in a bit of [[Fridge Logic|Fridge Humor]].
* Countless humor sites on the Web have tried to predict how things would go if [[Star Trek
* ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'' uses "wiz" as a prefix a lot. [[Lampshaded]] in one episode where Mason calls an echo a "wiz-echo". Alex tells him it's just an echo and that they don't just put "wiz" in front of everything, right before Jerry screams "[[Hypocritical Humour|the wiz-mergency wiz-light is on!]]"

* Subverted in one episode of ''[[I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again
* Kip Addotta's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEZG14eGmR8 "Wet Dream"] also goes for the fish puns; it often gets played on the Doctor Demento show.

** And, of course, ''[[The Jetsons]]'' did the same with "futuristic" and/or planetary themed puns.
* ''[[Futurama]]'' either parodies this or just uses it brilliantly by twisting the [[Planet of Hats]] concept into providing a different one of these almost every episode (using up every possible joke about shellfish along the way).
* ''[[
* The ''Abra-Catastrophe'' ''[[Fairly Oddparents]]'' special landed Timmy Turner in a world where the human race had been replaced by sentient apes. The primate-related puns flowed like water.
** Timmy then [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this by expressing his desire to "wish for a world without puns".
* ''[[Fish Police (
** And then there's ''[[Sharky And George]]'', [[Dueling Shows|a cop show set underwater, where all the characters were fish]], which also seemed to exist [[A Worldwide Punomenon|solely]] to make loads and loads of fish-related puns.
* The characters in ''[[Miss
* The ''[[Geronimo Stilton]]'' series lives and breathes puns related to rodents and cheese.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** Trottingham eventually became [[Ascended Fanon|canon]] as the birthplace of Pipsqeak, one of the series' minor characters.
* ''[[Birdz]]'', with an entirely avian (except one) cast, was up to its beak in bird puns. These usually manifested themselves in the names of celebrities (e.g. "Whippoorwill Smith"), but also in the setting of Birdland and the occasional "anybird".
