* In-movie example: Andrew tries doing this in ''BicentennialMan'', but he doesn't understand that humor is about delivery and so he simply recites a bunch of jokes one after the other without transitioning or even pausing between words and sentences.

* ''MADMagazine'', like the aforementioned ''Discworld'', does not have a page without a joke. This includes the table of contents, which inevitably will feature a fake article mixed in with all the real ones. It could be argued that with the addition of full-page ads, this is no longer true, but you still have to at least look because there's probably a 50-50 shot that it will actually be yet another MAD parody.

* Exaggerated and lampshaded in {{Community}}, when Pierce prepares jokes in advance for viewing the SoBadItsGood movie, [=KickPuncher 2=]
--> '''Pierce''': Change! Time to change the channel! This guy'll be begging for change soon, he keeps making movies this terrible! We should change to something good, this movie stinks! We should change his diaper. That's change we can believe in!
-->'''Abed''': [Hits pause] Okay, it's obvious something strange is happening here.
-->'''Pierce''': What are you talking about? I'm making jokes during a movie.
-->'''Troy''': Yeah, but you're doing it with the speed and determination of the incomparable {{Robin Williams}}.

* This is the trope that defines {{Bug}} and makes it stand out. It follows a standard five-stips-per-week, four or six panel per strip webcomic format. But instead of just having a punchline in the end, it usually has a theme of the strip defined in the first panel and several {{Visual Pun}}s with captions. Captions itself are often funny as well, and the first panel can have a VisualPun too. You can theoretically get twelve jokes a day.

** Pretty much all of [[TelltaleGames Telltale's]] games are like this, except ''CSI'', the darker parts of ''TalesOfMonkeyIsland'' and maybe ''WallaceAndGromit''. The sheer amount of dialogue, descriptions, and TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything makes every game loaded with jokes. A good example is the miscellaneous items in Stinky's in the second season of ''SamAndMax''. Not only does every item have its own humorous description, but for the first 3 episodes, the description changes each episode.
