* The ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' movies have a habit of making Splinter make a bad joke while doing this [[OnceAnEpisode once a movie]]. The original movie has him suggest the turtles' iconic Cowabunga catchphrase, which he ends with "I made a funny!" ''[[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze Secret of the Ooze]]'' has him punish his sons for being spotted by making them do flips while chanting "Go, Ninja, Go!" (to which he adds "I made another funny!") [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII The third movie]] has him imitate Elvis in ''Film/BlueHawaii'', [[DontExplainTheJoke even explaining the reference]]. However, that time, him laughing at himself was more justified as he was trying to cheer up Michelangelo, who feared he'd never laugh again.

* Happens fairly often on ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' due to the improvisational nature of the show. One of the best examples occurred immediately after the famous game of "Newsflash" where Colin ([[RunningGag the constant target of jokes regarding his hair loss]]), while unknowingly "reporting" on clips of himself from past episodes, answered the question "How did it start?" with, "It all started with a badly-timed bald joke!" Colin didn't laugh when making the joke, but rather as a DelayedReaction after the game ended and he suddenly realized, in the context that he hadn't been aware of at the time, that the joke was even funnier than he had intended.
-->'''Colin:''' ''(suddenly realizes)'' Oh, I said the bald joke thing, too! ''(laughs)''\\
'''Ryan:''' You did, you were right on it!
