'''Eddie''': No, but ''[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|this does!]]'' ([[Groin Attack|kicks Smarty in the junk]]) }}

* Variation from the musical ''[[Altar Boyz]]'': The song is about waiting until marriage to have sex. The line rhymes, but it's still not the word that the audience might be expecting:

Keeps your radio free from static. It will fumigate your...attic. (And so on...) }}

** Sometimes inverted in concert.

** Laura Shavin:

And it's not just that men have got...a Y-chromosome...it's Radio 4...not sure we can say [[Subverted Trop|penis]]. }}

* At least one [[Abbott and Costello]] radio episode featured these.

** Also in ''Banjo-Tooie'', Gruntilda, who has spoken entirely in rhyming couplets all through Banjo-Kazooie, and up to that point in the sequel, says "Oh, very well then" in response to a demand by her sisters to stop the incessant rhyming.

* In ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', {{spoiler|Shantotto}} [[Rhymes on a Dime|always speaks in rhyme]] during {{spoiler|her}} cutscenes, except on one occasion:

I hereby score you a solid B minus. }}

** [[Don't Explain the Joke|The gag here, of course, is that]] {{spoiler|"B plus" would have been the more obvious grade.}}

* In ''[[Tweep]]'', [[http://www.tweep.com/comic/?date=07-23-04 when the blender explodes

* From the alt text of [http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=2213 this] ''[[Dinosaur Comics]]'': "it happens to me randomly / though when i force it you can see / it gets bad pretty quickly / and that's why rhyming is... difficult"

From the tip of my head to my gorgeous...knees. }}

** Let's not forget Animal School Musical...in this one song Jake was singing, he subverted every single rhyme. And the song was about his incapability to rhyme.

* An episode of ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this, with Timmy being sent to the planet Yugopotamia, which has been conquered by the Gigglepies, an alien species that wear cuteness and rhyming [[Planet of Hats|as a hat]]. When Timmy inquires to their overlord about what they will do to their planet:

'''Overlord:''' [to the Gigglepies] He's on to us! GET HIM. }}

* ''[[Garfield and Friends]]'': 47's told in verse, except the last line which is not. Don't worry, folks, he wouldn't curse, but see the twist this cat hath...made:

* There is a Dutch poem which for the whole of the poem actually changes words to rhyme with the previous line. It's about a knight going to rescue a damsel from a dragon. The dragon agrees to let her go if the knight composes a verse on them - he doesn't get her: he can't rhyme.
