In the commentary track of ''Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story'' DVD, [=MacFarlane=] said that he rather enjoys making gags run just a little bit longer than they should.

** The infamous chicken fights are frequently accused of being nothing more than Overly Long Gags, although there's usually a good wealth of film references in each.

{{Overly Long Gag}}s in western animation TV.
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:#]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' episode "Fish and Make Up", Caitlin bursts in the loathsome washrooms with a PottyEmergency...and then uses the bathroom and sighs in relief for ''twelve seconds straight''...plus some additional seconds when it seems like she's finished.
-->'''Caitlin''': Sorry. [[{{Understatement}} Kind of an emergency.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TwelveOunceMouse'' would sometimes have two Overly Long Gags running concurrently. In episode 5, Fitz and Skillet have an extended shoot-out with an offscreen assailant while Peanut tries to rob the Diner. In episode 11, Shark spends half the episode trying to get his car started, while Rectangular Businessman spends the other half trying to decide which one of many identical harmonicas to buy. By the end of the episode, neither has succeeded.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:A]]
* ''Creator/AdultSwim'' had a series of interstitial shorts about Captain Linger, a traditional FlyingBrick superhero who would save the day at the start of every cartoon, then spend the rest of the cartoon awkwardly hanging around in the aftermath, trying to make small talk or something.
-->''Captain Linger, Captain Linger\\
The day he saves may be his own!''
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' features two tiny space invaders attempting to off the duo. At one point the aliens get the jump on them, clinging to their faces, leaving them to run around their office screaming for 15 seconds straight. (Complete with a brief pause to catch their breaths.)
-->"This seems like a good opportunity to scream and stumble about in an overt display of blind terror."\\
"Okay."
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': "A Glitch is a Glitch" has a "1 second later" time card that held on screen for a good minute (incredibly long especially on a show that is only 11 minutes long), boosting the absurdity.
* [=MacFarlane=] frequently uses this trope in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' as well. He even lampshades it in "Phantom of the Telethon", when Stan delivers a joke written by Steve and his friends.
-->'''Stan''': Some acts are too hot. Some acts are too cold. This act is just riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.\\\
'''Barry''' (backstage): Joke-killer! He's a joke-killer!
** "TUNGEE!!!" "Mistah and lady!"
** Referenced again when Francine's mother tells her that a wife should always laugh at her husband's bad jokes, in a way that seems like a TakeThat at this kind of humor.
--->'''Màma:''' You know how many times Bàba tell the "Pull my finger" joke? Four times a week, every week, and we been married ''fifty years''! And it never funny. Not once. It got a little funny about ten years ago because it hadn't been funny for so long, but that was only for like two days.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'':
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlXjIg4fH74 Who's on Stage?]] skit, an homage to the infamous WhosOnFirst skit.
** The Wakkorotti concerts also might count as this. Ha ha, two minutes of burping!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTMdd0p_2FA Yakko sang all the words in the English language.]] However, he was only seen singing words beginning with A, F (briefly), L, and Z.
** An in-universe example would be the Warners' "early" solo cartoon, "Flies in the Ointment", which concerned the siblings getting flypaper stuck on their butts.
--->'''WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck''': "It was an okay cartoon for a short, but this thing went on for eight hours. ''Eight. '''hours.'''''
** The German Friendship song. This one actually hangs a {{lampshade|Hanging}} when the German chef gets tired half way through the song and tries to bring it to an end to no avail.
* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' does this in the episode "Super Birthday Snake," when Frylock is arguing back and forth with his zombified friends about whether or not he killed them. A good quarter of the episode's length is nothing but variations on "No I didn't!" "Yes you did!", starting out with Frylock's anguished declarations and the others' zombie-like droning and gradually shifting to both just speaking in an annoyed but regular tone. It's not funny until Carl bursts out with "You ''so'' frickin' did!" Then it's ''hilarious''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:B]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard'' has an episode where the animals think the farm is about to be sold because they've overheard that "Buyers are coming" that day. After turning away several "Buyers", one person shows up looking for "The Beyer family reunion." He then explains that his surname is Beyer, the family reunion is being held there because the farmer's wife's maiden name is Beyer, all the other people who showed up earlier were named Beyer, etc. His explanation goes on for nearly a full minute.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:C]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' does this a lot. For example:
** This exchange from "Schnitzel Makes a Deposit":
--->'''Old Lady:''' Would you care for a free lollipop?\\
'''Chowder:''' Would I?!\\
'''Old Lady:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Would you?]]\\
'''Chowder:''' Would I?!\\
'''Old Lady:''' Would you?\\
'''Chowder:''' Would I?!\\
'''Old Lady:''' Would you?\\
'''Chowder:''' Would I what?\\
'''Old Lady:''' Care for a free lollipop?\\
'''Chowder:''' Would I?!\\
'''Schniztel:''' Radda radda!\\
'''Chowder:''' Yes I would, thank you.
** Also, the title of the 'Big Ball' episode (which doubles as the name of the game featured in it), Mung always refers to [[OverlyLongName the name of the sport]] in full: Field Tournament Style Up and Down On the Ground Manja Flanja Blanja Banja Ishka Bibble Babble Flabble Doma Roma Floma Boma Jingle Jangle Every Angle Bricka Bracka Flacka Stacka Two Ton Rerun Free for All Big Ball. It is fast-forwarded once, but only once, and said fast forward is also ridiculously long.
** Chowder's very, very long SpitTake upon hearing Panini declare herself Chowder's girlfriend. The spit-take lasts all day. And all night. It shows you Chowder going about his day (helping Mung in the kitchen, sitting down at the table to eat dinner, in the bathroom holding a toothbrush, and finally in bed), just spewing a seemingly-infinite amount of juice. Even the Sun gets into it the next morning!
* Film/TheViewAskewniverse cartoon ''WesternAnimation/{{Clerks|The Animated Series}}'':
-->"Caitlyn has a kissing booth? Like, for charity?"\\
[[DisSimile "Yeah, only it don't cost nothin' and it's not for charity."]]\\
* leaves and comes back*\\
"And there's no booth."\\
* leaves and comes back*\\
"And it's more than just kissing."\\
* leaves and comes back*\\
"[[EscalatingPunchline And you don't have to be a guy]]."\\
* leaves*\\
* beat*\\
* comes back*\\
[[DontExplainTheJoke "Dude, she's cheating on you."]]
* ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'' called this a "wacky stack", and tried to avoid it.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', Jay once showed a scene from the Director's cut of ''JFK''. It was just Jim Garrison saying "Back, and to the left" over and over.
** Franklin thinks an owl is [[Series/HomeImprovement Wilson]]: "Whooo." "My wife, Eleanor." "Whooo." "My wife, Eleanor." "Whooo." "My wife, Eleanor." And so on for 15 seconds.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:D]]
* The ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' episode, ''Quark Quark'' features a robot named Grovel...who does...''every single time his name is mentioned!''
* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' used this quite a bit, usually centering around endlessly repeated shots of Dexter typing on a keyboard, tightening a screw, pulling the same lever, etc. One commercial lampshaded this by asking after about thirty seconds of the screw-tightening, "Isn't he going to overtighten that thing some day?"
** In one episode starring Mandark, every sound made was similar to his signature laugh. For the ''entire episode''.
*** Ha ha ha! Ha-ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha-ha ha ha ha!
*** Chew chew chew! Chew-chew chew chew chew! Chew chew chew! Chew-chew chew chew chew!
*** Boo-Hoo hoo! Boo-Hoo hoo hoo hoo! Boo-hoo hoo! Boo-hoo hoo hoo!
** Youtube video makers particularly enjoy making videos of particular scenes, like Dexter eating corn for ten minutes or drinking milk for ten minutes.
** "The Continuum of Cartoon Fools" opens with about half a minute of Dexter making faces and funny noises while apparently timing a storyboard, and ends with Dexter spending about a minute lamenting the fact that he's locked himself out of his secret laboratory in his efforts to [[TheCatCameBack keep Dee-Dee out]].
** Season 3 Episode 9's ''A Third Dad Cartoon''. It is just ''three whole minutes'' of Dexter and Dee Dee's dad preparing to hit a golf ball. Before he can even prepare to hit the ball, he has to test the air, put on his gloves, kiss his lucky golf ball, cut some of the grass around the tee, test out which golf club he should use, and get into position. Then he spends another whole minute just cracking his neck, scuffing his shoes against the grass, stretching his arms out, and shaking his hips. When he ''finally'' takes a swing at it, a storm suddenly hits them. Thunder, lightning and rain, out of nowhere. He and his kids pack up and he says "Oh well, guess we'll have to try again next week." Throughout this entire sequence, there are no changes in camera angle, and no dialogue between Dad and his kids, and no music. Just ''three minutes'' of Dad getting ready to hit a golf ball.
** "MY HAIR IS ON FIRE! MY HAIR IS ON FIRE! MY HAIR IS ON FIRE! MY HAIR IS ON FIRE! MY HAIR IS ON FIRE!"
** From "Sdrawkcab": "For-ward! Reverse! For-ward! Reverse! For-ward! Reverse! For-ward! Reverse!"
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'', he and Cornfed become plumbers, and give their company an OverlyLongName in order to be first in the phone book.
-->'''Hans''': I am Hans, may I help you gentlemen?\\
'''Eric Duckman''': You betcha Heintz, we're from AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-1 Plumbing.\\
'''Hans''': You're from AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-1 Plumbing?\\
'''Cornfed Pig''': Yes, we're from AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-1 Plumbing.\\
'''Lady Calowina Worthington-Ford''': Ah, are these the men from AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-1 Plumbing?\\
'''Hans''': Yes, they say they're from AAAAAAAAAAAAAA …\\
'''Eric Duckman''': All right! C'mon, we don't even have a plot yet.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' episode "A Whale of a Bad Time", Scrooge [=McDuck=] is informed that a shipment of ice cream (in which he'd concealed half his fortune) has been eaten by a sea monster, which causes him to go berserk and spend about a minute jumping around the room repeatedly yelling "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79c5JKjAQFg A sea monster ate my ice cream]]!!" before his nephews can subdue him.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:E]]
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'':
** In "One Plus One Equals Ed", Ed spends all night opening and closing Eddy's fridge door, trying to figure out how the little light works. This is accompanied by a shot of the exterior of Eddy's house while we see the light coming on and going out while Ed says "Hello, light... Hello, light... Hello, light..."
** Edd waxing philosophical about the key Eddy found in "Key to My Ed".
** Ed climbing up a heap of fake snow and sliding back down in "From Here to Ed". "Slide on the soap! Slide on the soap!"
[[/folder]]
[[folder:F]]
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' creator Creator/SethMacFarlane seems to love this trope like nobody else.
** The first and most famous use is Peter Griffin spraining his knee after winning the golden beer ticket, then clutching it and gasping in pain for a good 25 seconds or so. In the commentary track of ''Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story'' DVD, [=MacFarlane=] said that he rather enjoys making gags run just a little bit longer than they should. The show has often been accused of using it as a crutch.
** Lois does a variation of this herself in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E10 FOX-y Lady]]", only she bumps her breast on the mailbox instead of spraining her knee.
*** Repeated in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuyPresentsLaughItUpFuzzball'' with the AT-AT Walker, who starts groaning in pain after tripping over the cable. He only does it three times before being blown up by the snowspeeders.
** The infamous chicken fights are frequently accused of being nothing more than Overly Long Gags, although there's usually a good wealth of film references in each. And it's almost got to the point where the bird's re-appearance in ridiculous places is itself part of the joke, and the ideas played with (like when they realise they can't remember why they're fighting [[labelnote:*]]It was originally Peter's exacting revenge on the chicken for giving him an expired coupon.[[/labelnote]], go for a meal to make up...and start a fight of equally excessive length over who pays the bill) which might make it a combination of overly long gag and RunningGag.
** "Everything I say is a lie! Except for that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that."
** It was {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E2IDreamofJesus I Dream of Jesus]]" when Peter is singing "Surfin' Bird", over and over, and Stewie comments, "Oh, I just love repetition!" Later in the same episode, in what may have been a jab at how the fans perceive these jokes, Stewie slowly pulls out a revolver and [[AteHisGun puts its barrel in his mouth]] as Peter continues singing the song ''ad nauseum''.
** Subverted in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS5E4SavingPrivateBrian Saving Private Brian]]" when the Vaudeville Guys, who were just beginning to wear out their welcome, are shot to death by Stewie just as they are beginning their performance. They did return later, Vern as a ghost and Johnny playing his piano in Hell.
** Many of Family Guy's overly long gags employ dialogue with lots of empty, although realistic, filler words, averting the RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic trope (and at the same time demonstrating why the trope exists in the first place). For example, in Season 5's "Whistle While Your Wife Works", Brian's [[TheDitz airhead]] [[BrainlessBeauty girlfriend]] Jillian calls his cell phone, and the next 30 seconds are just Brian giving her basic instructions on how to use a DVD player:
--->'''Brian:''' ''[picks up phone]'' Hey. Yeah. Uh-huh... uh-huh... uh, y-- you got to hit, uh, "DVD" and then "Menu" and then "Select." Yeah. Yeah, the-- the DVD needs to be face up when you put it in. Uh-huh... you should be able to see the words ''Film/MrThreeThousand.'' Yeah. Still nothing? Is it plugged in? Okay, so plug it in. Okay. Y-- you got it? Is-- okay, alright. No-- no problem, alright. A-- love you, too, Jillybean. Okay.
** In one episode Stewie speculates at length about Brian's novel, his voice continually growing higher. Later in the episode he does it again, for even longer. He tries it again in a later episode that season, but barely begins before Brian punches him silent, thus rendering it a case of Overly Long RuleOfThree.
*** Then in another episode, Stewie is composing a song to impress Susie Swanson, and Brian turns the tables.
** Bruce, the polite effeminate guy, is essentially a person made out of this trope. Every time he shows up he just rambles on, quietly and politely, about whatever happens to be on his mind at the time, usually only tangentially related to whatever the subject is that he's currently discussing with the rest of the characters that are with him at the time during the show.
** Played with in one episode. Peter is singing a song, and at the end, it seems that he's going to hold the last note for a long time. Then it cuts to commercial. When it gets back to the show, it's revealed that he's been holding the note for the entire commercial break, and proceeds to hold it even longer afterwards.
** "Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy." It's done twice.
** And Then There's Series/{{Maude}}! Peter is actually annoyed by this overly long gag.
** Conway Twitty in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E9TheJuiceIsLoose The Juice is Loose]]": they put the ENTIRE SONG in the episode! It is also one of the lowest rated episodes in the series. [[FridgeLogic Makes one wonder why this joke hasn't been used since]].
*** Done again with another song! When homeschooling the kids in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS9E17ForeignAffairs Foreign Affairs]]", and talking about "The gayest music video ever", the show proceeds to play ''the entirety'' of Music/MickJagger and Music/DavidBowie's "Dancing in the Street".
*** Lampshaded in "Peter, Chris, & Brian," where Peter watches a tape of himself as a teenager. At the end of the tape, teenage Peter holds up a boombox and plays a Conway Twitty song. Adult Peter says, "This is annoying! I don't want to sit through this!"
** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E13JungleLove Jungle Love]]", after watching ''Film/{{Bewitched}}'', Stewie leaves the theater, rides a cab, stands in line at the airport, flies on a plane, arrives at LAX, hails another cab, arrives at Creator/WillFerrell's house, and punches him in the face.
** "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS5E1StewieLovesLois Lois. Lois. Lois. Lois. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mommy. Mommy. Mommy. Mommy. Mama. Mama. Mama. Mama. Ma. Ma. Ma. Ma. Ma. Ma. Mum. Mum. Mum. Mum. Mommy. Mommy. Mommy. Mama. Mama. Mama. Mama. Mama. Mama.]]" ''That'' one happens to be TruthInTelevision - ask any parent with a toddler-aged kid.
--->'''Lois:''' ''(angrily)'' [[BigWhat WHAT?!!]]\\
'''Stewie:''' ''(smiling sheepishly)'' Hi.
** The scene where the house that Brian and Stewie have been working on all episode explodes. It's just 30 seconds of the house exploding from different angles. And a few times from the same angle.
** Peter's "Guiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiltyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E8FamilyGay Family Gay]]".
** The cutaway gag with the British gentlemen's club when three gentlemen do nothing but read newspapers and clear their throats in different tone for like a minute.
** The scene in "[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuyPresentsLaughItUpFuzzball Something, Something, Something Dark Side]]" where Peter cuts open the don-don. "I thought they smelt bad - " he exhales seven or eight times - "On the outside!"
** Also in SSSDS, Peter shooting the floor of the cave about eight times before realising they're in a giant space slug.
** The P.S. in Stewie's letter to Brian when he's heading to England in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E20RoadToEurope Road to Europe]]".
** The Phony Guy. Just like the raccoon gag in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E12ToLoveAndDieInDixie To Love and Die in Dixie]]" - he only appears four or five times in one season 3 episode, "The Kiss Seen Around the World" - except it stopped being funny after his second appearance. You could say his being brought back just to be killed off in "Something Something Something Darkside" was some sort of KarmicDeath.
** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E13StewRoids Stew-Roids]]" Stewie repeatedly steps in front of Brian as he tries to go down the stairs, making an "oop" noise. He does this 12 times before stopping.
** In the season 2 episode "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS2E9IfImDyinImLyin If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin']]" during the interrogation scene in [[ShowWithinAShow "Gumbel 2 Gumbel"]] when Bryant Gumbel continuously mumble "Mmm Hmm" at the arrested criminal for about 20 seconds. It ends when the criminal asks Greg, "What the hell is wrong with him?"
** The scene from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E18QuagmiresDad Quagmire's Dad]]" where Brian pukes for at least a solid 30 seconds.
** Speaking of puke, there was also the "Ipecac contest" in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E8EightSimpleRulesForBuyingMyTeenageDaughter 8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter]]" with Peter, Chris, Stewie and Brian repeatedly puking for about a minute.
** "Oh, yeah, Drew. I wanna say hi to Lois, Brian, Chris, Stewie, Meg, Joe, Bonnie, Quagmire, Cleveland, Mort, Seamus, Adam West, Dr. Hartman, Bruce, Carter, Babs, Tom Tucker, Angela, Opie, Carl, Herbert, Jillian, Consuela, Giant Chicken, Greased-Up Deaf Guy!" "...Okay. Sure they're happy to hear that."
** Another moment from the Star Wars "[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuyPresentsLaughItUpFuzzball It's a Trap!]]" where Luke nods to Lando, who nods to R2, who nods to Leia, who nods to C-3P0, who nods to Jabba, who nods ''back'' to 3P0, who nods to Leia, who nods to R2, who nods to Lando, who nods to Luke, who nods to a baseball player, who nods to Luke, who nods to Lando, who nods to R2, who nods to Leia, who nods to 3P0, who nods to the Sarlacc, who nods to Lando, who nods to Han, who nods to Leia, who nods to Luke, who nods to the guy playing a tuba that has punctuates each nod with a dramatic note, who nods to Luke, who nods to Lando, who nods to a clip of Ted Knight in ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}'' asking "Well? We're waiting!". This joke is repeated a minute or two later (although this time mercifully lasting no longer than fifteen seconds, as opposed to the one minute-long original).
** Carter destroying a bus bench with a bulldozer. The scene eats up almost 2 whole minutes of episode time.
** "Want to pick me up? Want to pick me up? Want to pick me up? Want to pick me up? Want to pick me up?"
** "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS9E10FriendsOfPeterG Friends of Peter G.]]" has Peter growing increasingly frustrated for waiting for the movie to start as the film shows several companies involved in making the movie, going on for at least 40 seconds.
*** And in the same episode, while trying to fool Joe into believing they are in a proper Alcoholics Anonymous class when they really get drunk the whole time, they sing almost the ''entire'' Mr. Booze song from ''Film/RobinAndTheSevenHoods''. Slightly lampshaded at the end with Brian droning out the lyrics.
** A gag in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E15ReadyWillingAndDisabled Ready, Willing and Disabled]]" has Joe Swanson crying in the bar because he failed to capture a criminal that tried to steal donation money. He cries for 2-4 minutes as Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland slowly and awkwardly leave the bar (with Peter then slowly coming back in through a window to get his beer). Creator/SethMacFarlane lampshades the gag in the DVD commentary by mentioning that the animators overseas hated drawing scenes that dragged out in a slow speed.
*** This has actually become a major criticism of the show in recent years for gags that involve pretty much nothing happening being used specifically to [[LimitedAnimation keep the animation budget down]].
** "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS11E2RatingsGuy Ratings Guy]]" has a cutaway gag when Peter was doing public radio spending nearly 30 seconds eating biscuits from the word of his sponsor.
** "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E9PeterProblems Peter Problems]]" has Peter trying to get a beached whale back into the ocean with a forklift, only for him to impale it and try to get the dead whale off. By the time he's finished, the whale is a [[{{Gorn}} horrific bloody mess with its innards exposed]]. The length of the scene makes what is already probably the most graphic moment in the show even harder to [[{{Pun}} stomach]].
** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS6E12LongJohnPeter Long John Peter]]", Peter spends about 60 seconds getting rid of a dead bullfrog.
** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS11E8JesusMaryAndJoseph Jesus, Mary and Joseph!]]" there is a skit involving the [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Ghost of Christmas Past visiting Scrooge]], only for Scrooge saying he has to use the bathroom first. We hear him urinating in it for about a whole minute, to the point that the Ghost of Christmas Present shows up and is surprised that the Past Ghost hasn't even started yet.
** Taken to an extreme in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS13E16RoastedGuy Roasted Guy]]" where there's a cutaway gag about a full minute and a half in length, in which a wolf joins a pack and one of the members tells him to cluck instead of howl at the full moon and he embarrasses himself in the process, leading to the wolf's life spiraling down into transvestism and prostitution and him ultimately shooting the pack to death. The end reveals that the skit was a film Peter was directing and the wolf was Quagmire after Peter drugged him.
** The first part of the ''Star Wars'' parody also has Brian and Peter trying to bring a couch into the Millenium Falcon before they escape the Death Star, to lampshade ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy.
** In "Con Heiress", Brian and Stewie try to scam an elderly woman with an [[OverlyLongName extremely long name]]. Margaret Woolworth Carrington von Schumacher Chanel Astor Livingston Compte de Saint-Exupery Mountbatten Windsor Armani Roosevelt Von Trap wykenhamp Hearst Montgomery Rothschild Johnson & Johnson Twillsworth Dolce Gabana Von Zweiger II Montgomery de LaRoche Geico Vanderbilt Lannister van Burean Butterworth How I Met Your Mother Wrigley Louise-Dreyfus Ludwig Morgan Stanley Dumont Lamborghini Forbes higbee Winthrop Chanel Remy Martin Fitzwilliam Kennedy Motel Six Fairchild Brook Pritzker Davenport von Stolen Monty Python Ellisworth Aston Martin Haverbrook Ziff Launder Hilton DuPont Kinkaid Winslow Coors Oviatt Marlborough Pembroke Huffington Bush Mellon Sinclair Mellencamp Starbucks van Dyke III Montgomery Marriott Barrington Chadsworth Big League Chew Chesterfield Kensington Boothbishop Longbottom Nottingham Meisterberg Burgermeister Tudor Hapsburg Rockefeller Onassis. This name is repeated three times through the episode.
** An overly long TakeThat towards Creator/BradleyCooper occurs in the episode "Brian Writes a Bestseller". Brian has a conversation with Creator/ReneeZellweger in which he describes what he's looking for in a lead actor for a film he's interested in:
--->'''Brian:''' How's Bradley?\\
'''Renée:''' Really great. He's really found his niche, you know? He's really got the cheap, forgettable lead thing down, which is great.\\
'''Brian:''' That's fantastic, 'cause I might bankroll this comedy, and we need somebody who's not that funny and not that good looking, and that you forget about the second you leave the theater.\\
'''Renée:''' I think Bradley would be perfect for that!\\
'''Brian:''' Are you sure? Because we really need somebody who constantly seems like they're about to be big, but keeps not actually being big.\\
'''Renée:''' Well, he'd really want to see the script, but I mean, that's what Bradley does.\\
'''Brian:''' I don't know; we really need somebody who has not been the best thing in anything he's ever been in, ever. I mean, the kind of guy who can get overshadowed by Zach Galifianakis or Creator/EdHelms.\\
'''Renée:''' Well, of course, I can't speak for Bradley, but I really think he'd want to be considered for this.\\
'''Brian:''' Yeah, the thing is, for this role, we need a guy who has all the characteristics that you would describe as handsome, but who is not actually handsome himself.\\
'''Renée:''' Well, again, only Brad can speak for Brad, but this seems right for him.\\
'''Brian:''' Yeah, I think he'd be right, too. The problem is, we'd like to find an actor who has been given a lot of chances to shine, but who has never actually shined. Not one single time.\\
'''Renée:''' Well, I think he'd be-- I got to get back to my dinner here-- but I think he'd be perfect! And I really hope you keep Bradley Cooper in mind.
** If you actually read every single example for ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', this could pretty much count as one too since you've probably spent 3 to 4 minutes on it.
* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' tended to use this trope pretty often, probably to make the episodes fill 25 minutes:
** From the PilotMovie "House of Bloo's", Bloo meets [[PokemonSpeak Coco]]: "Coco?" "Yes." "Coco?" "Yes." "Coco?" "Yes." "Coco?" "Yes..."
** The extended version of the scene of Bloo being massaged by the sound-operated cactus in "Store Wars", which plays over the credits. There was also the shot of him making weird noises repeatedly to make them dance.
** The scene from "Squeeze the Day" where a bored Bloo amuses himself by making fun of the way the TV news weatherman talks. "It's hooooot in Tooopeeeeeekaaaaaa..."
** Wilt repeatedly shouting "NO!" for thirty seconds straight at the end of "Where There's a Wilt, There's a Way".
* Lampshaded in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' ("Virtual Freak"), where Freakazoid and the Lobe [[IFellForHours take an overly long time to fall]] from the top of a mall.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8JRm7ev1PU The Emergency Broadcast System.]]
** The premise of the episode "RelaxOVision" was a running gag that quickly grew old. This was eventually subverted at the end, when Freakazoid beats up the suit who came up with the idea in the first place.
** A perfect example is the ''Hand-man'' segment in the first episode, noted as such on the DVD commentary.
** Another episode has Fanboy surprise Freakazoid, who has just downed a smoothie. Freakazoid proceeds to [[SpitTake spit out more papaya juice]] than could possibly fit in his whole body in sync with fifteen different dramatic BGM chords. In what may be the most awesome SpitTake ever, this goes on for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzQLvbrr9lI a solid twenty seconds.]]
* Taken to its logical extreme by ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''; "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad", a special episode included on the ''Bender's Big Score'' DVD, takes the gag and runs with it for ''twenty-two minutes'', the entire length of the episode. There are some other gags included ("Guests of ''Everybody Loves Hypnotoad'' stay at the famous Cragmont Human Cage!"), and, indeed, the whole point is that, in order not to miss these shorter gags, the viewer ''has'' to sit through the entire episode. Some of them are so short that they can easily be missed by fast-forwarding through them.
** FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT! {{Beat}}... FIX IT!!
** ''Into The Wild Green Yonder'' gives us Leela's attempts to protect a leech, which keeps attacking her; she reflexively crushes it, then regrets it, then it comes back to life and attacks her again.
** Actually subverted in "Bender Gets Made", {{the one w|ith}}here Bender joined the Robot Mafia. After seeing that the Robot Mafia are going to be attacking the Planet Express Ship, Bender does an extended SpitTake that, just as it looks like it is going to become an overly long gag, cuts to commercial.

* ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'':
** In the episode "How To Be Funny", the titular cat explains the fine points of comedy and admits repetition of a stupid VisualPun like being handed lightbulbs after yelling "Lights!" can get funnier with time.
** In another episode, Jon puts leftovers in the refrigerator that turns into a monster which is referred to throughout the entire episode, many times, as "the monster that lives behind the mayonnaise next to the ketchup to the left of the cole slaw" (which is also [[TitleDrop the name of the episode]]). They play this for all its worth; a policeman goes into the house to get rid of the monster, but comes back without having seen it, and then says, "Oh, did you say 'to the ''left'' of the cole slaw?" This is even lampshaded at the end by Garfield (who is {{narrat|or}}ing) when he said, "and the monster grabbed the brave cat and dragged him to its lair behind the mayonnaise, next to... ah, you know all this already."
** One recurring gag in ''ComicStrip/USAcres'' is that whenever Orson sorts his books, he always has to put one in particular - ''Deja Vu, the Sensation of Experiencing Something You Have Experienced Before'' - away about five times in a row. This gag was eventually {{lampshade|Hanging}}d when after the third copy he stopped, looked down, and started [[BillBillJunkBill going through the stack of books]]...all of which turned out to be ''Deja Vu''.
** In the ''U.S. Acres'' episode "Bad Time Story", Bo, Lanolin, Roy, and Wade take turns fighting over who reads a "Chicken Little" like story. At one point, Wade reads a LongList of all '''twenty seven''' people who are off to see the king, including Eggy Leggy (Sheldon), Wormy Squirmy, Catty Fatty (Garfield), [[Series/LeaveItToBeaver Beaver Cleaver]], and Puppy Wuppy (Odie)!
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
** A gnome pukes rainbows on a loop for the entirety of the first episode's closing credits.
** "Fight Fighters" has Rumble [=McSkirmish=] unleash his "Super Power Ninja Turbo Neo Ultra Hyper Mega Multi Alpha Meta Extra Uber Prefix Combo" upon Dipper.
** Stan ends up [[IFellForHours falling down the bottomless pit]] for all of the closing credits of "Bottomless Pit!".
** "Carpet Diem" has Soos scalding himself in his "break room": "OW! Wait wait...OW! Wait wait...OW! Wait wait...OW! That actually felt good that time. OW! Wait wait..."
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'':
** When Billy thinks clowns "want to become the dominant species" and then proceeds to spend nearly half a minute straight yelling that they'll "Destroy us all!". In the made for TV movie "Wrath of the Spider Queen", he is cut off half-way before starting another such joke. This also happens again in "Detention X" though he is cut off just before he begins.
** DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! I'll take the chicken. DESTROY US ALL!
** In the episode where they visit a retirement home for elderly monsters, Billy is reluctant when he finds he has to go through a portal to AnotherDimension to get there. Grim and Billy get into [[RhymesOnADime an argument loaded with rhymes on the word "dimension"]] that goes on for long enough that Mandy gets sick of it and pushes them both through the portal before leaping in after them.
** In "Here There Be Dwarves" Billy announces he's going to have a picnic. Grim stops him, saying "You remember what happened last time?", and it shows Billy, Mandy, and Grim having a picnic when a Sasquatch jumps out of the bushes and runs off with Billy. Billy then runs into Mandy, his mom, and his dad in rapid succession, who all repeat what Grim said and it shows the same flashback each time, with the exception of Billy's dad's side of the story showing that he was disguised as the Sasquatch.
** The episode "The Secret Snake Club" is loaded with these including 25 seconds of Billy dancing with chickens in an ImagineSpot.
** At the end of "Five o'Clock Shadows", Grim is aghast to see Mandy and her shadow ''both'' grumpy (previously, Mandy's shadow was [[OtherMeAnnoysMe annoyingly cheerful]]) and Billy having not just one shadow, but many, ''many'', ''MANY'' shadows (Billy and his ''dumber'' shadow having opened a portal to release all of the Billy shadows), and this exchange happens, in a spoof of ''Film/TheShining'':
--->'''Mandy:''' Well, Grim, it looks like you'll have to take us ''all'' home.\\
'''Mandy's shadow:''' And we'll play together...\\
'''Mandy:''' ...forever...\\
'''Mandy's shadow:''' ...and ever...\\
'''Mandy:''' ...and ever...\\
'''Mandy's shadow:''' ...and ever.\\
'''Billy's many,''' '''''many''''' '''shadows:''' And ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever...\\
'''Billy:''' ''(jumping in the air)'' ''AND EVER!!!''\\
'''Billy's shadows:''' YAY!
** The ending of "Be A-Fred, Be Very A-Fred"; when Grim is forced to spend a day with Fred Fredburger because he won a contest that only he entered, the two of them go on a saucer ride and it launches Fred to the arctic. When the board of directors hear what happened, they beat Grim with wooden clubs and tell him he's fired. They all leave, until one of them comes back with a flamethrower and sprays Grim with green fire for several seconds, then they all dump coffee on him.

* In ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'', Jason keeps trying to add overly long jokes about barbarians acting ''barbaric'' to a movie script. Melissa refuses to transcribe them past a point, saying, "That's where I think the joke ends!"
** "Can I ''axe'' you a question?"

* This is ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim's'' bread and butter. Take for example, this quote from "Tak: The Hideous New Girl", in which Tak has just started to explain her evil plan to Zim, starting with "Part 1" - crippling his base's functions.
-->"Part 2 is --"\\
"NOOO! My beautiful base!"\\
"Part 2 is --"\\
"NOOO! My beautiful base!"\\
"Part 2 --"\\
"NOOOO! My base!"\\
"Part 2 --"\\
"NOOO!"\\
"Part --"\\
"NOOO!"\\
"Okay, I'm -- "\\
"NOOO!"\\
"Okay, I'm going now."\\
"But you didn't tell me what your plan was."
** Similarly:
--->"I am-"\\
"Who are you!"\\
"I am-"\\
Who are you!"\\
"I am-"\\
"Who are you!"
** Also similarly, from "Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy":
--->"A hunter-destroyer -- "\\
"What is it?!"\\
"A hunter-destroyer -- "\\
"What is it?!"
** And yet again similarly:
--->"ZIM!"\\
"WHAAAAT?"\\
"ZIM!"\\
"WHAAAAT?"\\
"ZIM!"\\
"WHAAAAT?"
** A scene from "Megadoomer" showed Zim in the titular battle mech behind a smiling woman in her car at a stoplight shouting "Hey, move it! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! ..." and then finally "You invoke my wrath?!" and as the light turns green and she moves, "Victory for Ziiim!"
** There was also the opening to "Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars", where Invader Zim was on screen with the Tallest, shouting "My tallest! Hey! My tallest! My taaaalleeest!" for three hours straight (actually a minute on-screen).
--->'''Tallest Red:''' I was curious to see when you'd shut up on your own. But it's been ''three hours'' now, Zim. ''THREE HOURS!!!''
** Jhonen Vasquez himself said in the commentary that he would have made that entire gag last ''the entire episode'' if he could get away with it.
** When GIR asked Zim if he was going to make biscuits for 45 seconds
** "[[http://youtu.be/fqcn_TPu4qQ I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now!]]" GIR probably deserves a special prize for that, seeing as it apparently lasted ''[[IncessantMusicMadness six months]]'' for Zim.
** The Zim writers apparently love this trope. In fact, "Zim Eats Waffles" is essentially an episode-long Overly-Long Gag. And it's hilarious.
*** Every shot panning from the computer to Dib and back again constitutes as they were all painfully long.
** There's also that [[BigNo scream]] in "Battle of the Planets" from the guy on the hill, with [[ItMakesSenseInContext Mars balanced on top of his soda can]].
--->'''Guy''': "Oh no! Oh no! Ooooohhh nooo! Oooooooh noooo! Oh no! Oh no! Oooohh no!! Oooh..."

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
** [[DuckSeasonRabbitSeason Duck! Rabbit, Duck!]] Bugs puts up a new season sign whenever Daffy mentions he is another animal. This goes on for the entirety of the film. Eventually...
--->'''Elmer:''' Oh, Mister Game Warden, I hope you can help me. I've been told I can shoot wabbits and goats and pigeons and mongooses and dirty skunks and ducks. Could you tell me what season it weawwy is?\\
'''The "Game Warden" (actually Bugs in a Game Warden suit):''' Why soitainly, my boy, (whips out a baseball) it's baseball season!
** Elmer then goes insane and shoots the baseball repeatedly.
*** Which is nothing to compare with Daffy [[SanitySlippage completely and utterly losing it.]]
---->'''Daffy:''' Shoot me again! I enjoy it! I love the smell of burnt feathers, and gunpowder, and cordite! I'm an elk! Shoot me, go on! It's elk season! I'm a fiddler crab! Why don't you shoot me? It's fiddler crab season!
** "WesternAnimation/PorkyPigsFeat" has a memorable moment when the Manager of the Broken Arms Hotel, driven into a state of fury by Daffy's antics, attempts to break down the door to his and Porky's room. The rug gets pulled out from under him, and he goes tumbling down the stairs. The next 30 seconds are spent watching him fall down step after step, going "Ee! Ah! Oh! Ah!" until he crashes at the bottom. The second time around, he fakes it.
** At the end of the WesternAnimation/BugsBunny cartoon "FallingHare", Bugs is in a crashing airplane, which continues to fall out of the sky for over a minute (time enough for a half-dozen reaction gags from Bugs), before [[spoiler: running out of gas and stopping two feet above the ground]].
** "WesternAnimation/ToBeepOrNotToBeep": The boulder on the catapult, before TheReveal that it wasn't an {{ACME Product|s}}.
** "Lickety-Splat" The needle-nosed dart bombs.
** ''WesternAnimation/RobinHoodDaffy'': "Yoiks! And away!" (THUD!)
** ''WesternAnimation/HopalongCasualty'': A great Ken Harris animated scene where the Coyote swallows earthquake pills.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'': Lolly Poopdeck's painfully drawn out delivery of the punchline of a joke in "Day Without Laughter".
* Dr. Rockso's constant repetition of "[[CatchPhrase I do cocaine!]]" in ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}''. It was mildly funny at first, then it became annoying. But by season two, the fact that he simply ''would not stop saying it'' made it inexplicably hilarious.
** This was actually lampshaded as a OLG. "...Yes. You've told us. Repeatedly. Please stop."
** There's also the DVD EasterEgg scene of Nathan Explosion reading from ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''. Very, very badly. For twenty minutes. And then there's a ''second'' Overly Long Gag in the credits...
*** Many of the DVD extras consist of Overly Long Gags, though not usually as long as the ''Hamlet'' one. There is an 8 minute feature of Pickles sitting in his underwear on a bed babbling incoherently while on drugs, and another that's about five minutes of the Bishop guy tuning his guitar and trying to play simple chords while grunting to himself. Some of these are more successful than others.
*** Another 12-minute "deleted episode" sketch features all 5 members of the band sitting drunk in a darkened room trying to name all the "great metal bands" ("metal" being a catch-all term for "brutal") they can think of. It begins with your standards (Black Sabbath, Metallica), then grows increasingly esoteric (Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Redbone), to just plain absurd (Hanson, ABBA).
** Stops copies me. Stops copies me.
** Knubbler's 30 second long scream.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' episode "Victim of Fashion", the characters Brit and Tiff laugh over their next evil scheme... for 30 seconds straight. With the camera focused on the two characters for the entire duration.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** [[MotorMouth Pinkie Pie's]] dialogue occasionally delves into this trope.
--->'''Pinkie Pie:''' Are you excited? Because I'm excited! I've never been so excited! Well, except for the time I saw you walking into town, and I went ''{{gasp}}!'', but I mean really, who could top that?
** In "Over a Barrel", we have Chief Thunderhooves' rant about his tribe's sacred stampeding trail: "My father stampeded upon these grounds. And his father before him...and his father before him...and his father before him...and his father before him..." Meanwhile, the other tribe members are shown trying to stay awake, and Little Strong Heart eventually has to shut the chief up.
** Near the end of "A Friend in Deed", Pinkie tries to chase Cranky Doodle Donkey down and tell him that she's "really really really really really really really really [etc.]" sorry for ruining his scrapbook.
** In ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E24EquestriaGames Equestria Games]]'', Spike [[CringeComedy attempts to make up words for the Cloudsdale anthem since he's never heard it before]]. A number of them involve super-fast flying, trees, and wishing the song would just end already. Naturally, the song is comically long.
** In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E8TheParentMap "The Parent Map,"]] Sunburst's mother Stellar Flare enchanted the gate at the entrance of the town to announce "Welcome to Sire's Hollow!" whenever it's opened. Starlight repeatedly closes and opens the gate to demonstrate to her [[MostAnnoyingSound how annoying it is]].
--->'''Gate recording:''' ''Welcome to Sire's Hollow! Welcome to Sire's Hollow! Welcome to Sire's Hollow! Welcome to Sire's Hollow!''\\
'''Stellar Flare:''' Okay, it's annoying, I get it.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
** The credits sequence of the episode "It's About Time!" consists of Mr. Fletcher saying/humming "Fossils! Dun dun dun!", in an imitation of the end of a museum tour tape he listened to earlier in the episode, repeatedly for about half a minute.
** "I, Brobot" has a several-seconds-long clip of Candace running screaming to the basement and hiding in the panic room.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'' does this twice in a row: First, when Sheen, Mr. Nesmith, and Doppy are trying to rescue Aseefa, Doppy loses his grip on the tower, and they fall. And fall. And continue to fall. Eventually they hit the ground, with Sheen and Nesmith on top of Doppy. When they try to talk to Doppy to check if he's okay, Doppy keeps interupting them by making a grinding, whirring noise.
* In one BaseballEpisode of a ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'' cartoon, Bluto decides to pitch his slow ball to Popeye. However, it's a ''very'' slow ball. At first, Wimpy (the umpire) asks Popeye if he would like to go home and come back later (he declines); while waiting for the ball, Popeye calls his mother, Bluto flirts with a female spectator, and Wimpy, naturally, goes to the hamburger stand. After about two minutes of this, the ball is about to reach the plate, and Popeye finally hits it.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Child Fearing" parodies this when the girls watch some children's programming. A cartoon dinosaur named [[ShoutOut Blarney]] sings a song about animals and how he'd behave if were one of them... then he just starts mentioning pretty much anything that seemingly comes to his mind.
-->'''Blarney''': If I were a bunny, I'd...'''[[SuddenlyShouting HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!!]]''' If I we're a rhino, I'd... '''STOMP!!!

* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' had a scene in "Every Meat Burrito" where the whole climax is just one overly long gag: Barry (the episode's villain) keeps making long screams when Mordecai repeatedly punches him. It's a spoof of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAdniWncWu4 this scene]] from the Turkish film ''Karateci Kız'', which gained notoriety as the "Worst Death Scene Ever".
* Rick's rambling monologue at the end of the pilot episode of ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. [[http://youtu.be/9Gtc4DHYvc0 Watch it in its full glory here.]]
--> The world is full of idiots who don't understand what's important, and they'll tear us apart, Morty.

* [=MacFarlane=] has a pretty big influence on Creator/SethGreen's ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken''--the show could be described as "Family Guy if they took out the bits about plot"--so to no surprise, to say the least, some clips are longer and tedious than others. This ''really'' comes into play in the second season. Thing is, these clips are never seen again, and are thus funny.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'':
** The climax of "Teed Off" has nearly every character in the cartoon (and Rocko, who wasn't in the episode until this point) screaming as Heffer [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext crashes his flying lawnmower into the groundskeeper's secret base]].
** In "Road Rash" Rocko and Heffer stop and ask for directions to Phlegm Rock from a country bumpkin, who gets side-tracked telling a rambling story about his friend Ferb ("His real name was Frank, but everyone called him Ferb. Ain't that crazy?"). Rocko and Heffer eventually get bored and drive off, and it cuts to hours later when the guy finally finishes his story.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Sealab 2021}}'' episode "Vacation", the suggestion that Quinn is in his room with a prostitute twice prompts a segue into a ''ridiculously'' long chain of characters going "Uh-oh!" The RuleOfThree comes into play at the end of the episode, as Quinn interrupts the beginning of a third such chain.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SillySymphonies'' "Peculiar Penguins", the female penguin gets bloated and deflates ''three times'' after eating a fish.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Fans of the show commonly refer to this trope as a "rake scene", after the scene in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E2CapeFeare Cape Feare]]" in which Sideshow Bob spends the best part of a minute [[RakeTake stepping on rakes]]. Given the origin of this scene, the probable circumstances that determine exactly how overly long an overly long gag could probably be described as "how much time needs filling?"
** The scene from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E20TwoDozenAndOneGreyhounds Two Dozen and One Greyhounds]]", where Homer tries to eat chips which are repeatedly stolen from his hands by the greyhound puppies. This happens eight times, and the first four are recognisably the same footage as the second four, except for Homer saying "This time," before the last one.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E9PrankstaRap Pranksta Rap]]", Milhouse tosses a frisbee six total times, picks it up each time, until he finally says, "This is no fun without Bart. He used to watch me while I did this."
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E11TheTwistedWorldOfMargeSimpson The Twisted World of Marge Simpson]]", when Cletus Spuckler introduces his 26 children to Marge and Homer.
** From "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E17LastExitToSpringfield Last Exit to Springfield]]": "DENTAL PLAN!" "Lisa needs braces!" "DENTAL PLAN!" "Lisa needs braces!" "DENTAL PLAN!" "Lisa needs braces!"
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E16BrotherFromAnotherSeries Brother from Another Series]]", Sideshow Bob and Bart fall off a dam, screaming the entire way, and have to stop to take in a breath, before they continue to scream.
** The episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E5DancinHomer Dancin' Homer]]" has this with Bleeding Gums Murphy singing the American National Anthem at the start of a baseball game. He starts singing at 7:30. He finishes singing at '''7:56'''. And by the time he is finished, Lisa is the only one who is still genuinely paying attention.
** In the episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS18E19CrookAndLadder Crook and Ladder]]", Homer takes sleeping pills that may cause mood swings. The next gag is at least 30 seconds worth of Homer saying "Mood Swings!" in different tones.
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E3SleepingWithTheEnemy Sleeping with the Enemy]]" has an episode where Ralph Wiggum tries to play "Duck Duck Goose" at a party, or rather "Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck..." (etc.)
*** Come on, if it weren't for the creators of Wiki/TVTropes, Ralph Wiggum's Duck Duck Duck etc. gag would be the {{Trope Namer|s}}.
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E22PoppasGotABrandNewBadge Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge]]" has Homer listing all the jobs he's had to Marge whilst sitting in bed. Marge goes into their en suite and comes back in with him still talking.
-->[[ContinuityNod You know, I've had a lot of jobs.

** Rainier Wolfcastle's bratwurst commercial, a parody of Oscar Mayer's. "Mein Bratwurst has a first name, it's F - R - I - T - Z! Mein Bratwurst has a second name, it's [[OverlyLongName S - C - H - N - A - C - K - E - N - P - F - E - F - F - E - R - H - A - U - S - E - N...]]"

** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS17E11WereOnTheRoadToDohwhere We're on the Road to D'ohwhere]]" had Ned Flanders singing the final line of "Joseph's Coat/The Coat of Many Colors" (see above) while watering his flower boxes. It actually manages to make what is already an Overly-Long Gag ''even longer'' by a) having Flanders momentarily stop singing while he moved from one window to the next and then carrying on where he left off, and b) instead of finishing with a final "-and BLUE!", he ''loops back to'' "-and red and yellow and..." ''and carries on.''
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS20E13GoneMaggieGone Gone Maggie Gone]]", Lisa opens a secret passage behind an organ. We see several contraptions combining to unlock this passage. It is implied there were more. Even Lisa gets bored waiting.
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS20E14InTheNameOfTheGrandfather In the Name of the Grandfather]]" brings us Grampa smashing the Simpsons hot tub. The family flops about for about thirty seconds, pausing twice.

** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS7E1Cancelled Cancelled]]", this trope is spelled out. Kyle is asked to activate the satellite dish in Cartman's rectum, and each time he approaches, Cartman farts and laughs. Everyone agrees it is no longer funny, and Cartman does it again, prompting the others to laugh and Chef to proclaim it funny once more.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pifQm3IZ1tc The Imagination Song]]
** [[WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut Kyle's Mom Is A Bitch]] also qualifies, combined with RefugeInAudacity:
--->'''Cartman:''' "...She's a bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch! Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch, she's a stupid bitch! Kyle's mom's a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch!"
** The main plot of "[[Recap/SouthParkS6E1JaredHasAides Jared Has Aides]]" consists entirely of people confusing the word "aides" with "AIDS", to the point where the titular Jared starts [[LampshadeHanging flogging a literal dead horse]].
** Then there's Terrence and Phillip vs. Steven Abootman in "[[Recap/SouthParkS12E4CanadaOnStrike Canada On Strike]]".
--->[[TermsOfEndangerment "I'm not your friend, buddy!"]]\\
"I'm not your buddy, guy!"\\
"I'm not your guy, friend!"
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkmV9mnUTC4 Now that's what I call a sticky situation!]]"
** The entire "B-Plot" of "[[Recap/SouthParkS6E17RedSleighDown Red Sleigh Down]]" consists of Jimmy taking forever to sing "The 12 Days of Christmas" to the town because of how bad his stutter is. Gets a slight LampshadeHanging from Mr. Garrison when he quietly mutters "[[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh no...]]" as Jimmy finally gets to the second verse.
* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' is also no stranger to the overly long gag.
** In the first episode, Captain Hero wishes for a hot black woman to appear, at which moment Foxxy Love walks through the door. He then [[RetroactiveWish wishes for]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice a 12-year-old girl and a donkey to appear]], and proceeds to wait...and wait, and wait, and wait...
** In the first season finale, the housemates stage a sit-in in an attempt to deliberately make the show boring so that the producer will be forced to give them some perks. And true to their word, the sit-in consists of them doing nothing but sitting there and blinking for well over a minute.
** In "Xandir and Tim, Sitting in a Tree", Spanky Ham draws a fart out for 60 seconds.
** In "Alzheimer's That Ends Well", The senior citizens make a call to Boba Fett with a rotary dial phone. As long as it sounds.
*** The third season had this as a [[TheStinger stinger]] during the credits, featuring a clip from the episode looped or altered somewhat. Though there's always a climax.
** In "Breakfast Food Killer", while the characters onscreen are completely motionless, there is an offstage dialogue of Wooldoor talking to someone outside the audition room for a good 1 or 2 minutes about nonsense.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'': The "Fire Ant" episode, as originally aired, contained a ''ten-minute-long'' sequence consisting entirely of Space Ghost following an ant to its house to kill its family. No action, almost no dialogue, just Space Ghost following an ant.
* Some of the lazier episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' use this trope excessively, often to the point that an episode will actually ''become'' this trope. Examples include: "Slide Whistle Stooges", "Blackjack", "Funny Pants", "A Day Without Tears", "Face Freeze!", and "Grandpappy the Pirate".
** While this is true, many older episodes had slightly more brief examples of this, such as the line "Have you finished those errands yet?" being repeated in part or in whole over twenty times in "Squid's Day Off", and [=SpongeBob=] screaming no less than 25 times in a row in "Graveyard Shift".
*** He goes on to laugh repeatedly when Squidward says he was joking.
** From "The Algae's Always Greener":
--->'''[=SpongeBob=]''': "A customer ordered a medium soda, and I gave him a large! I GAVE HIM A LARGE! I've soiled the good Krusty Krab name! Soiled it, soiled it, soiled it, soiled it! Soiled it, soiled it, soiled it, soiled it! Soiled it..."\\
'''Plankton''': (poking [=SpongeBob=]) "[[LampshadeHanging Where's the off button on this thing?]]"
*** "Someday the Krabby Patty formula will be mine! Even if I have to come back tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day...."
** "Ugh" is just full of these:
*** Squog slipping on Gary's slime.
*** [=SpongeGar=] taking a good 30-45 seconds realizing that he can use Squog's stick to get two marshmallow-like plants out of their fire, cutting between [=SpongeGar=]'s face, the stick and the fire ([[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext as well as a barbershop quartet]]) progressively faster until it near-reaches EpilepticFlashingLights territory.
*** The sequence where [=SpongeGar=], Patar and Squog are roasting various plants (and [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence kra]][[{{Pun}} bs]].)
*** And this isn't even mentioning the second half of the [=SpongeBob=] part of the episode, the majority of it having them trying to steal the fire from eachother in various ways.
** [=SpongeBob=] repeatedly interrupting the doctor trying to remove Squidward's bandages in "The Two Faces of Squidward."
** The episode "Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful" has almost no gags- other than "Squidward ends up next to litter, and is sentenced to Community Service whether it's his or not." [=SpongeBob=] gets CS once, Squilliam gets it once, and Squidward gets it ''8 times...'' (He almost got it 9, even!)
** "All That Glitters", where [=SpongeBob=] cries to...everything in Bikini Bottom about his broken spatula. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HHAUUUUUUUUUH!"
** Similarly, "[=SpongeBob=] You're Fired" has [=SpongeBob=] crying for about a full minute after Mr. Krabs fires him. As this happens, the tears affect customers in the background.
*** This episode also has the scene where [=SpongeBob=] continually attempts to cling to Patrick's rock, to no avail.
** Zooming in on the patty in "Krusty Krab Training Video" The narrator imitates a fanfare throughout, stopping to catch his breath partway.
*** And another lampshade on this: as the "How to make a Krabby Patty" part of the video it was intro-ing was about to begin it was cut off by the EPISODE ENDING.
** [=SpongeBob=] going over the activities he and Patrick have planned for the rainy day in "Pineapple Fever". Mostly, he repeats activities he's already stated.
** [=SpongeBob=] ringing Mrs. Puff's doorbell for about 30 straight seconds in "Pet or Pests", without any dialogue. This continues ''[[WhatAnIdiot even after Mrs. Puff opens it]]''.
** [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward clearing their throats in "Choir Boys", which happens ''multiple times''.
** "The Camping Episode" has this, and probably would have gone longer if Squidward hadn't stopped [=SpongeBob=]:
--->'''[=SpongeBob=]''': Patrick's right Squidward, sea bears are no laughing matter. Why one time I met this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy's ''cousin''-\\
'''Squidward''': YOU'RE RIGHT!
*** Also, the "Campfire Song" Song. Squidward doesn't bother to stop them, he just sits there with an annoyed look on his face.
*** The sea bear attack also. "That was an oval! It has to be a circle!"
** And from "Whatever Happened to [=SpongeBob?=]": "Idiot boy, idiot boy, idiot boy, idiot boy..."
** Another example in "Dear Vikings".
---> '''Viking:''' This is Olaf. And this is Olaf. This is Olaf. Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, and um...\\
'''Other Viking:''' Olaf.\\
'''Squidward:''' So, lemme guess. Your name must be...\\
'''Viking:''' That's right, [[OddNameOut Gordon!]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TitanMaximum''. In the pilot episode of all places, [[spoiler:during the 50-second long falling death of Spud]].
* In WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry [[RecycledInSpace Blast Off To Mars]] the Martian King falls down a ridiculously-long flight of stairs. After a few bounces it cuts to some of the guards playing cards. Then back to the king, still on his way down. Then to a couple of the guards flirting. Then back to the king. Then to the guards [[UpToEleven getting married]]. Then back to the king. Then to the guards [[SerialEscalation holding several small children]]. Then he finally hits the ground.

** Look into THE NOZZLE...THE NOZZLE is calibrating...do not look away from THE NOZZLE...

* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'': In "The Hole... Lotta Nothin'", there's a long stretch where Wander stands around on a barren planet with his finger stuck in a black hole, with nothing to do but wait for Sylvia to come back with help.
%%* This gag is also used in a WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker cartoon (with Woody, Buzz Buzzard and Inspector Willoughby replacing Popeye, Bluto and Wimpy, respectively).
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Y]]
* "Bare Face Bear", a ''WesternAnimation/YogiBear'' short, did this. A dog is going after a criminal in a bear suit, who dives into the hole of a tree. He keeps barking at it until his owner (the sheriff) pops out and glares at him. ''He keeps barking for a good 2 minutes.''

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Sixteen}}'' episode "Fish and Make Up", Caitlin bursts in the loathsome washrooms with a PottyEmergency...and then uses the bathroom and sighs in relief for ''twelve seconds straight''...plus some additional seconds when it seems like she's finished.
-->'''Caitlin''': Sorry. [[{{Understatement}} Kind of an emergency.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TwelveOunceMouse'' would sometimes have two Overly Long Gags running concurrently. In episode 5, Fitz and Skillet have an extended shoot-out with an offscreen assailant while Peanut tries to rob the Diner. In episode 11, Shark spends half the episode trying to get his car started, while Rectangular Businessman spends the other half trying to decide which one of many identical harmonicas to buy. By the end of the episode, neither has succeeded.

[[folder:A]]
* ''Creator/AdultSwim'' had a series of interstitial shorts about Captain Linger, a traditional FlyingBrick superhero who would save the day at the start of every cartoon, then spend the rest of the cartoon awkwardly hanging around in the aftermath, trying to make small talk or something.
-->''Captain Linger, Captain Linger\\
The day he saves may be his own!''
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfSamAndMaxFreelancePolice'' features two tiny space invaders attempting to off the duo. At one point the aliens get the jump on them, clinging to their faces, leaving them to run around their office screaming for 15 seconds straight. (Complete with a brief pause to catch their breaths.)
-->"This seems like a good opportunity to scream and stumble about in an overt display of blind terror."\\
"Okay."
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': "A Glitch is a Glitch" has a "1 second later" time card that held on screen for a good minute (incredibly long especially on a show that is only 11 minutes long), boosting the absurdity.
* [=MacFarlane=] frequently uses this trope in ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' as well. He even lampshades it in "Phantom of the Telethon", when Stan delivers a joke written by Steve and his friends.
-->'''Stan''': Some acts are too hot. Some acts are too cold. This act is just riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.\\\
'''Barry''' (backstage): Joke-killer! He's a joke-killer!
** "TUNGEE!!!" "Mistah and lady!"
** Referenced again when Francine's mother tells her that a wife should always laugh at her husband's bad jokes, in a way that seems like a TakeThat at this kind of humor.
--->'''Màma:''' You know how many times Bàba tell the "Pull my finger" joke? Four times a week, every week, and we been married ''fifty years''! And it never funny. Not once. It got a little funny about ten years ago because it hadn't been funny for so long, but that was only for like two days.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'':
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlXjIg4fH74 Who's on Stage?]] skit, an homage to the infamous WhosOnFirst skit.
** The Wakkorotti concerts also might count as this. Ha ha, two minutes of burping!
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTMdd0p_2FA Yakko sang all the words in the English language.]] However, he was only seen singing words beginning with A, F (briefly), L, and Z.
** An in-universe example would be the Warners' "early" solo cartoon, "Flies in the Ointment", which concerned the siblings getting flypaper stuck on their butts.
--->'''WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck''': "It was an okay cartoon for a short, but this thing went on for eight hours. ''Eight. '''hours.'''''
** The German Friendship song. This one actually hangs a {{lampshade|Hanging}} when the German chef gets tired half way through the song and tries to bring it to an end to no avail.
* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' does this in the episode "Super Birthday Snake," when Frylock is arguing back and forth with his zombified friends about whether or not he killed them. A good quarter of the episode's length is nothing but variations on "No I didn't!" "Yes you did!", starting out with Frylock's anguished declarations and the others' zombie-like droning and gradually shifting to both just speaking in an annoyed but regular tone. It's not funny until Carl bursts out with "You ''so'' frickin' did!" Then it's ''hilarious''.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:B]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BackAtTheBarnyard'' has an episode where the animals think the farm is about to be sold because they've overheard that "Buyers are coming" that day. After turning away several "Buyers", one person shows up looking for "The Beyer family reunion." He then explains that his surname is Beyer, the family reunion is being held there because the farmer's wife's maiden name is Beyer, all the other people who showed up earlier were named Beyer, etc. His explanation goes on for nearly a full minute.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:C]]
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Chowder}}'' does this a lot. For example:
** This exchange from "Schnitzel Makes a Deposit":
--->'''Old Lady:''' Would you care for a free lollipop?\\
'''Chowder:''' Would I?!\\
'''Old Lady:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Would you?]]\\
'''Chowder:''' Would I?!\\
'''Old Lady:''' Would you?\\
'''Chowder:''' Would I?!\\
'''Old Lady:''' Would you?\\
'''Chowder:''' Would I what?\\
'''Old Lady:''' Care for a free lollipop?\\
'''Chowder:''' Would I?!\\
'''Schniztel:''' Radda radda!\\
'''Chowder:''' Yes I would, thank you.
** Also, the title of the 'Big Ball' episode (which doubles as the name of the game featured in it), Mung always refers to [[OverlyLongName the name of the sport]] in full: Field Tournament Style Up and Down On the Ground Manja Flanja Blanja Banja Ishka Bibble Babble Flabble Doma Roma Floma Boma Jingle Jangle Every Angle Bricka Bracka Flacka Stacka Two Ton Rerun Free for All Big Ball. It is fast-forwarded once, but only once, and said fast forward is also ridiculously long.
** Chowder's very, very long SpitTake upon hearing Panini declare herself Chowder's girlfriend. The spit-take lasts all day. And all night. It shows you Chowder going about his day (helping Mung in the kitchen, sitting down at the table to eat dinner, in the bathroom holding a toothbrush, and finally in bed), just spewing a seemingly-infinite amount of juice. Even the Sun gets into it the next morning!
* Film/TheViewAskewniverse cartoon ''WesternAnimation/{{Clerks|The Animated Series}}'':
-->"Caitlyn has a kissing booth? Like, for charity?"\\
[[DisSimile "Yeah, only it don't cost nothin' and it's not for charity."]]\\

[[DontExplainTheJoke "Dude, she's cheating on you."]]
* ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'' called this a "wacky stack", and tried to avoid it.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', Jay once showed a scene from the Director's cut of ''JFK''. It was just Jim Garrison saying "Back, and to the left" over and over.
** Franklin thinks an owl is [[Series/HomeImprovement Wilson]]: "Whooo." "My wife, Eleanor." "Whooo." "My wife, Eleanor." "Whooo." "My wife, Eleanor." And so on for 15 seconds.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:D]]
* The ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' episode, ''Quark Quark'' features a robot named Grovel...who does...''every single time his name is mentioned!''
* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' used this quite a bit, usually centering around endlessly repeated shots of Dexter typing on a keyboard, tightening a screw, pulling the same lever, etc. One commercial lampshaded this by asking after about thirty seconds of the screw-tightening, "Isn't he going to overtighten that thing some day?"
** In one episode starring Mandark, every sound made was similar to his signature laugh. For the ''entire episode''.
*** Ha ha ha! Ha-ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha-ha ha ha ha!
*** Chew chew chew! Chew-chew chew chew chew! Chew chew chew! Chew-chew chew chew chew!
*** Boo-Hoo hoo! Boo-Hoo hoo hoo hoo! Boo-hoo hoo! Boo-hoo hoo hoo!
** Youtube video makers particularly enjoy making videos of particular scenes, like Dexter eating corn for ten minutes or drinking milk for ten minutes.
** "The Continuum of Cartoon Fools" opens with about half a minute of Dexter making faces and funny noises while apparently timing a storyboard, and ends with Dexter spending about a minute lamenting the fact that he's locked himself out of his secret laboratory in his efforts to [[TheCatCameBack keep Dee-Dee out]].
** Season 3 Episode 9's ''A Third Dad Cartoon''. It is just ''three whole minutes'' of Dexter and Dee Dee's dad preparing to hit a golf ball. Before he can even prepare to hit the ball, he has to test the air, put on his gloves, kiss his lucky golf ball, cut some of the grass around the tee, test out which golf club he should use, and get into position. Then he spends another whole minute just cracking his neck, scuffing his shoes against the grass, stretching his arms out, and shaking his hips. When he ''finally'' takes a swing at it, a storm suddenly hits them. Thunder, lightning and rain, out of nowhere. He and his kids pack up and he says "Oh well, guess we'll have to try again next week." Throughout this entire sequence, there are no changes in camera angle, and no dialogue between Dad and his kids, and no music. Just ''three minutes'' of Dad getting ready to hit a golf ball.
** "MY HAIR IS ON FIRE! MY HAIR IS ON FIRE! MY HAIR IS ON FIRE! MY HAIR IS ON FIRE! MY HAIR IS ON FIRE!"
** From "Sdrawkcab": "For-ward! Reverse! For-ward! Reverse! For-ward! Reverse! For-ward! Reverse!"
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Duckman}}'', he and Cornfed become plumbers, and give their company an OverlyLongName in order to be first in the phone book.
-->'''Hans''': I am Hans, may I help you gentlemen?\\
'''Eric Duckman''': You betcha Heintz, we're from AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-1 Plumbing.\\
'''Hans''': You're from AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-1 Plumbing?\\
'''Cornfed Pig''': Yes, we're from AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-1 Plumbing.\\
'''Lady Calowina Worthington-Ford''': Ah, are these the men from AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-1 Plumbing?\\
'''Hans''': Yes, they say they're from AAAAAAAAAAAAAA …\\
'''Eric Duckman''': All right! C'mon, we don't even have a plot yet.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' episode "A Whale of a Bad Time", Scrooge [=McDuck=] is informed that a shipment of ice cream (in which he'd concealed half his fortune) has been eaten by a sea monster, which causes him to go berserk and spend about a minute jumping around the room repeatedly yelling "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79c5JKjAQFg A sea monster ate my ice cream]]!!" before his nephews can subdue him.

* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'':
** In "One Plus One Equals Ed", Ed spends all night opening and closing Eddy's fridge door, trying to figure out how the little light works. This is accompanied by a shot of the exterior of Eddy's house while we see the light coming on and going out while Ed says "Hello, light... Hello, light... Hello, light..."
** Edd waxing philosophical about the key Eddy found in "Key to My Ed".
** Ed climbing up a heap of fake snow and sliding back down in "From Here to Ed". "Slide on the soap! Slide on the soap!"
[[/folder]]
[[folder:F]]
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' creator Creator/SethMacFarlane seems to love this trope like nobody else.
** The first and most famous use is Peter Griffin spraining his knee after winning the golden beer ticket, then clutching it and gasping in pain for a good 25 seconds or so. In the commentary track of ''Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story'' DVD, [=MacFarlane=] said that he rather enjoys making gags run just a little bit longer than they should. The show has often been accused of using it as a crutch.
** Lois does a variation of this herself in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E10 FOX-y Lady]]", only she bumps her breast on the mailbox instead of spraining her knee.
*** Repeated in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuyPresentsLaughItUpFuzzball'' with the AT-AT Walker, who starts groaning in pain after tripping over the cable. He only does it three times before being blown up by the snowspeeders.
** The infamous chicken fights are frequently accused of being nothing more than Overly Long Gags, although there's usually a good wealth of film references in each. And it's almost got to the point where the bird's re-appearance in ridiculous places is itself part of the joke, and the ideas played with (like when they realise they can't remember why they're fighting [[labelnote:*]]It was originally Peter's exacting revenge on the chicken for giving him an expired coupon.[[/labelnote]], go for a meal to make up...and start a fight of equally excessive length over who pays the bill) which might make it a combination of overly long gag and RunningGag.
** "Everything I say is a lie! Except for that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that. And that."
** It was {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E2IDreamofJesus I Dream of Jesus]]" when Peter is singing "Surfin' Bird", over and over, and Stewie comments, "Oh, I just love repetition!" Later in the same episode, in what may have been a jab at how the fans perceive these jokes, Stewie slowly pulls out a revolver and [[AteHisGun puts its barrel in his mouth]] as Peter continues singing the song ''ad nauseum''.
** Subverted in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS5E4SavingPrivateBrian Saving Private Brian]]" when the Vaudeville Guys, who were just beginning to wear out their welcome, are shot to death by Stewie just as they are beginning their performance. They did return later, Vern as a ghost and Johnny playing his piano in Hell.
** Many of Family Guy's overly long gags employ dialogue with lots of empty, although realistic, filler words, averting the RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic trope (and at the same time demonstrating why the trope exists in the first place). For example, in Season 5's "Whistle While Your Wife Works", Brian's [[TheDitz airhead]] [[BrainlessBeauty girlfriend]] Jillian calls his cell phone, and the next 30 seconds are just Brian giving her basic instructions on how to use a DVD player:
--->'''Brian:''' ''[picks up phone]'' Hey. Yeah. Uh-huh... uh-huh... uh, y-- you got to hit, uh, "DVD" and then "Menu" and then "Select." Yeah. Yeah, the-- the DVD needs to be face up when you put it in. Uh-huh... you should be able to see the words ''Film/MrThreeThousand.'' Yeah. Still nothing? Is it plugged in? Okay, so plug it in. Okay. Y-- you got it? Is-- okay, alright. No-- no problem, alright. A-- love you, too, Jillybean. Okay.
** In one episode Stewie speculates at length about Brian's novel, his voice continually growing higher. Later in the episode he does it again, for even longer. He tries it again in a later episode that season, but barely begins before Brian punches him silent, thus rendering it a case of Overly Long RuleOfThree.
*** Then in another episode, Stewie is composing a song to impress Susie Swanson, and Brian turns the tables.
** Bruce, the polite effeminate guy, is essentially a person made out of this trope. Every time he shows up he just rambles on, quietly and politely, about whatever happens to be on his mind at the time, usually only tangentially related to whatever the subject is that he's currently discussing with the rest of the characters that are with him at the time during the show.
** Played with in one episode. Peter is singing a song, and at the end, it seems that he's going to hold the last note for a long time. Then it cuts to commercial. When it gets back to the show, it's revealed that he's been holding the note for the entire commercial break, and proceeds to hold it even longer afterwards.
** "Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy. Ooh piece of candy." It's done twice.
** And Then There's Series/{{Maude}}! Peter is actually annoyed by this overly long gag.
** Conway Twitty in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E9TheJuiceIsLoose The Juice is Loose]]": they put the ENTIRE SONG in the episode! It is also one of the lowest rated episodes in the series. [[FridgeLogic Makes one wonder why this joke hasn't been used since]].
*** Done again with another song! When homeschooling the kids in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS9E17ForeignAffairs Foreign Affairs]]", and talking about "The gayest music video ever", the show proceeds to play ''the entirety'' of Music/MickJagger and Music/DavidBowie's "Dancing in the Street".
*** Lampshaded in "Peter, Chris, & Brian," where Peter watches a tape of himself as a teenager. At the end of the tape, teenage Peter holds up a boombox and plays a Conway Twitty song. Adult Peter says, "This is annoying! I don't want to sit through this!"
** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E13JungleLove Jungle Love]]", after watching ''Film/{{Bewitched}}'', Stewie leaves the theater, rides a cab, stands in line at the airport, flies on a plane, arrives at LAX, hails another cab, arrives at Creator/WillFerrell's house, and punches him in the face.
** "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS5E1StewieLovesLois Lois. Lois. Lois. Lois. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mom. Mommy. Mommy. Mommy. Mommy. Mama. Mama. Mama. Mama. Ma. Ma. Ma. Ma. Ma. Ma. Mum. Mum. Mum. Mum. Mommy. Mommy.

--->'''Lois:''' ''(angrily)'' [[BigWhat WHAT?!!]]\\
'''Stewie:''' ''(smiling sheepishly)'' Hi.
** The scene where the house that Brian and Stewie have been working on all episode explodes. It's just 30 seconds of the house exploding from different angles. And a few times from the same angle.
** Peter's "Guiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiltyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E8FamilyGay Family Gay]]".
** The cutaway gag with the British gentlemen's club when three gentlemen do nothing but read newspapers and clear their throats in different tone for like a minute.
** The scene in "[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuyPresentsLaughItUpFuzzball Something, Something, Something Dark Side]]" where Peter cuts open the don-don. "I thought they smelt bad - " he exhales seven or eight times - "On the outside!"
** Also in SSSDS, Peter shooting the floor of the cave about eight times before realising they're in a giant space slug.
** The P.S. in Stewie's letter to Brian when he's heading to England in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E20RoadToEurope Road to Europe]]".
** The Phony Guy. Just like the raccoon gag in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E12ToLoveAndDieInDixie To Love and Die in Dixie]]" - he only appears four or five times in one season 3 episode, "The Kiss Seen Around the World" - except it stopped being funny after his second appearance. You could say his being brought back just to be killed off in "Something Something Something Darkside" was some sort of KarmicDeath.
** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E13StewRoids Stew-Roids]]" Stewie repeatedly steps in front of Brian as he tries to go down the stairs, making an "oop" noise. He does this 12 times before stopping.
** In the season 2 episode "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS2E9IfImDyinImLyin If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin']]" during the interrogation scene in [[ShowWithinAShow "Gumbel 2 Gumbel"]] when Bryant Gumbel continuously mumble "Mmm Hmm" at the arrested criminal for about 20 seconds. It ends when the criminal asks Greg, "What the hell is wrong with him?"
** The scene from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E18QuagmiresDad Quagmire's Dad]]" where Brian pukes for at least a solid 30 seconds.
** Speaking of puke, there was also the "Ipecac contest" in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E8EightSimpleRulesForBuyingMyTeenageDaughter 8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter]]" with Peter, Chris, Stewie and Brian repeatedly puking for about a minute.
** "Oh, yeah, Drew. I wanna say hi to Lois, Brian, Chris, Stewie, Meg, Joe, Bonnie, Quagmire, Cleveland, Mort, Seamus, Adam West, Dr. Hartman, Bruce, Carter, Babs, Tom Tucker, Angela, Opie, Carl, Herbert, Jillian, Consuela, Giant Chicken, Greased-Up Deaf Guy!" "...Okay. Sure they're happy to hear that."
** Another moment from the Star Wars "[[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuyPresentsLaughItUpFuzzball It's a Trap!]]" where Luke nods to Lando, who nods to R2, who nods to Leia, who nods to C-3P0, who nods to Jabba, who nods ''back'' to 3P0, who nods to Leia, who nods to R2, who nods to Lando, who nods to Luke, who nods to a baseball player, who nods to Luke, who nods to Lando, who nods to R2, who nods to Leia, who nods to 3P0, who nods to the Sarlacc, who nods to Lando, who nods to Han, who nods to Leia, who nods to Luke, who nods to the guy playing a tuba that has punctuates each nod with a dramatic note, who nods to Luke, who nods to Lando, who nods to a clip of Ted Knight in ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}'' asking "Well? We're waiting!". This joke is repeated a minute or two later (although this time mercifully lasting no longer than fifteen seconds, as opposed to the one minute-long original).
** Carter destroying a bus bench with a bulldozer. The scene eats up almost 2 whole minutes of episode time.
** "Want to pick me up? Want to pick me up? Want to pick me up? Want to pick me up? Want to pick me up?"
** "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS9E10FriendsOfPeterG Friends of Peter G.]]" has Peter growing increasingly frustrated for waiting for the movie to start as the film shows several companies involved in making the movie, going on for at least 40 seconds.
*** And in the same episode, while trying to fool Joe into believing they are in a proper Alcoholics Anonymous class when they really get drunk the whole time, they sing almost the ''entire'' Mr. Booze song from ''Film/RobinAndTheSevenHoods''. Slightly lampshaded at the end with Brian droning out the lyrics.
** A gag in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E15ReadyWillingAndDisabled Ready, Willing and Disabled]]" has Joe Swanson crying in the bar because he failed to capture a criminal that tried to steal donation money. He cries for 2-4 minutes as Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland slowly and awkwardly leave the bar (with Peter then slowly coming back in through a window to get his beer). Creator/SethMacFarlane lampshades the gag in the DVD commentary by mentioning that the animators overseas hated drawing scenes that dragged out in a slow speed.
*** This has actually become a major criticism of the show in recent years for gags that involve pretty much nothing happening being used specifically to [[LimitedAnimation keep the animation budget down]].
** "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS11E2RatingsGuy Ratings Guy]]" has a cutaway gag when Peter was doing public radio spending nearly 30 seconds eating biscuits from the word of his sponsor.
** "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E9PeterProblems Peter Problems]]" has Peter trying to get a beached whale back into the ocean with a forklift, only for him to impale it and try to get the dead whale off. By the time he's finished, the whale is a [[{{Gorn}} horrific bloody mess with its innards exposed]]. The length of the scene makes what is already probably the most graphic moment in the show even harder to [[{{Pun}} stomach]].
** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS6E12LongJohnPeter Long John Peter]]", Peter spends about 60 seconds getting rid of a dead bullfrog.
** In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS11E8JesusMaryAndJoseph Jesus, Mary and Joseph!]]" there is a skit involving the [[Literature/AChristmasCarol Ghost of Christmas Past visiting Scrooge]], only for Scrooge saying he has to use the bathroom first. We hear him urinating in it for about a whole minute, to the point that the Ghost of Christmas Present shows up and is surprised that the Past Ghost hasn't even started yet.
** Taken to an extreme in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS13E16RoastedGuy Roasted Guy]]" where there's a cutaway gag about a full minute and a half in length, in which a wolf joins a pack and one of the members tells him to cluck instead of howl at the full moon and he embarrasses himself in the process, leading to the wolf's life spiraling down into transvestism and prostitution and him ultimately shooting the pack to death. The end reveals that the skit was a film Peter was directing and the wolf was Quagmire after Peter drugged him.
** The first part of the ''Star Wars'' parody also has Brian and Peter trying to bring a couch into the Millenium Falcon before they escape the Death Star, to lampshade ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy.
** In "Con Heiress", Brian and Stewie try to scam an elderly woman with an [[OverlyLongName extremely long name]].

This name is repeated three times through the episode.
** An overly long TakeThat towards Creator/BradleyCooper occurs in the episode "Brian Writes a Bestseller". Brian has a conversation with Creator/ReneeZellweger in which he describes what he's looking for in a lead actor for a film he's interested in:
--->'''Brian:''' How's Bradley?\\
'''Renée:''' Really great. He's really found his niche, you know? He's really got the cheap, forgettable lead thing down, which is great.\\
'''Brian:''' That's fantastic, 'cause I might bankroll this comedy, and we need somebody who's not that funny and not that good looking, and that you forget about the second you leave the theater.\\
'''Renée:''' I think Bradley would be perfect for that!\\
'''Brian:''' Are you sure? Because we really need somebody who constantly seems like they're about to be big, but keeps not actually being big.\\
'''Renée:''' Well, he'd really want to see the script, but I mean, that's what Bradley does.\\
'''Brian:''' I don't know; we really need somebody who has not been the best thing in anything he's ever been in, ever. I mean, the kind of guy who can get overshadowed by Zach Galifianakis or Creator/EdHelms.\\
'''Renée:''' Well, of course, I can't speak for Bradley, but I really think he'd want to be considered for this.\\
'''Brian:''' Yeah, the thing is, for this role, we need a guy who has all the characteristics that you would describe as handsome, but who is not actually handsome himself.\\
'''Renée:''' Well, again, only Brad can speak for Brad, but this seems right for him.\\
'''Brian:''' Yeah, I think he'd be right, too. The problem is, we'd like to find an actor who has been given a lot of chances to shine, but who has never actually shined. Not one single time.\\
'''Renée:''' Well, I think he'd be-- I got to get back to my dinner here-- but I think he'd be perfect! And I really hope you keep Bradley Cooper in mind.
** If you actually read every single example for ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', this could pretty much count as one too since you've probably spent 3 to 4 minutes on it.
* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' tended to use this trope pretty often, probably to make the episodes fill 25 minutes:
** From the PilotMovie "House of Bloo's", Bloo meets [[PokemonSpeak Coco]]: "Coco?" "Yes." "Coco?" "Yes." "Coco?" "Yes." "Coco?" "Yes..."
** The extended version of the scene of Bloo being massaged by the sound-operated cactus in "Store Wars", which plays over the credits. There was also the shot of him making weird noises repeatedly to make them dance.
** The scene from "Squeeze the Day" where a bored Bloo amuses himself by making fun of the way the TV news weatherman talks. "It's hooooot in Tooopeeeeeekaaaaaa..."
** Wilt repeatedly shouting "NO!" for thirty seconds straight at the end of "Where There's a Wilt, There's a Way".
* Lampshaded in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' ("Virtual Freak"), where Freakazoid and the Lobe [[IFellForHours take an overly long time to fall]] from the top of a mall.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8JRm7ev1PU The Emergency Broadcast System.]]
** The premise of the episode "RelaxOVision" was a running gag that quickly grew old. This was eventually subverted at the end, when Freakazoid beats up the suit who came up with the idea in the first place.
** A perfect example is the ''Hand-man'' segment in the first episode, noted as such on the DVD commentary.
** Another episode has Fanboy surprise Freakazoid, who has just downed a smoothie. Freakazoid proceeds to [[SpitTake spit out more papaya juice]] than could possibly fit in his whole body in sync with fifteen different dramatic BGM chords. In what may be the most awesome SpitTake ever, this goes on for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzQLvbrr9lI a solid twenty seconds.]]
* Taken to its logical extreme by ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''; "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad", a special episode included on the ''Bender's Big Score'' DVD, takes the gag and runs with it for ''twenty-two minutes'', the entire length of the episode. There are some other gags included ("Guests of ''Everybody Loves Hypnotoad'' stay at the famous Cragmont Human Cage!"), and, indeed, the whole point is that, in order not to miss these shorter gags, the viewer ''has'' to sit through the entire episode. Some of them are so short that they can easily be missed by fast-forwarding through them.
** FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT FIX IT! {{Beat}}... FIX IT!!
** ''Into The Wild Green Yonder'' gives us Leela's attempts to protect a leech, which keeps attacking her; she reflexively crushes it, then regrets it, then it comes back to life and attacks her again.
** Actually subverted in "Bender Gets Made", {{the one w|ith}}here Bender joined the Robot Mafia. After seeing that the Robot Mafia are going to be attacking the Planet Express Ship, Bender does an extended SpitTake that, just as it looks like it is going to become an overly long gag, cuts to commercial.

* ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends'':
** In the episode "How To Be Funny", the titular cat explains the fine points of comedy and admits repetition of a stupid VisualPun like being handed lightbulbs after yelling "Lights!" can get funnier with time.
** In another episode, Jon puts leftovers in the refrigerator that turns into a monster which is referred to throughout the entire episode, many times, as "the monster that lives behind the mayonnaise next to the ketchup to the left of the cole slaw" (which is also [[TitleDrop the name of the episode]]). They play this for all its worth; a policeman goes into the house to get rid of the monster, but comes back without having seen it, and then says, "Oh, did you say 'to the ''left'' of the cole slaw?" This is even lampshaded at the end by Garfield (who is {{narrat|or}}ing) when he said, "and the monster grabbed the brave cat and dragged him to its lair behind the mayonnaise, next to... ah, you know all this already."
** One recurring gag in ''ComicStrip/USAcres'' is that whenever Orson sorts his books, he always has to put one in particular - ''Deja Vu, the Sensation of Experiencing Something You Have Experienced Before'' - away about five times in a row. This gag was eventually {{lampshade|Hanging}}d when after the third copy he stopped, looked down, and started [[BillBillJunkBill going through the stack of books]]...all of which turned out to be ''Deja Vu''.
** In the ''U.S. Acres'' episode "Bad Time Story", Bo, Lanolin, Roy, and Wade take turns fighting over who reads a "Chicken Little" like story. At one point, Wade reads a LongList of all '''twenty seven''' people who are off to see the king, including Eggy Leggy (Sheldon), Wormy Squirmy, Catty Fatty (Garfield), [[Series/LeaveItToBeaver Beaver Cleaver]], and Puppy Wuppy (Odie)!
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
** A gnome pukes rainbows on a loop for the entirety of the first episode's closing credits.
** "Fight Fighters" has Rumble [=McSkirmish=] unleash his "Super Power Ninja Turbo Neo Ultra Hyper Mega Multi Alpha Meta Extra Uber Prefix Combo" upon Dipper.
** Stan ends up [[IFellForHours falling down the bottomless pit]] for all of the closing credits of "Bottomless Pit!".
** "Carpet Diem" has Soos scalding himself in his "break room": "OW! Wait wait...OW! Wait wait...OW! Wait wait...OW! That actually felt good that time. OW! Wait wait..."
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'':
** When Billy thinks clowns "want to become the dominant species" and then proceeds to spend nearly half a minute straight yelling that they'll "Destroy us all!". In the made for TV movie "Wrath of the Spider Queen", he is cut off half-way before starting another such joke. This also happens again in "Detention X" though he is cut off just before he begins.
** DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! DESTROY US ALL! I'll take the chicken. DESTROY US ALL!
** In the episode where they visit a retirement home for elderly monsters, Billy is reluctant when he finds he has to go through a portal to AnotherDimension to get there. Grim and Billy get into [[RhymesOnADime an argument loaded with rhymes on the word "dimension"]] that goes on for long enough that Mandy gets sick of it and pushes them both through the portal before leaping in after them.
** In "Here There Be Dwarves" Billy announces he's going to have a picnic. Grim stops him, saying "You remember what happened last time?", and it shows Billy, Mandy, and Grim having a picnic when a Sasquatch jumps out of the bushes and runs off with Billy. Billy then runs into Mandy, his mom, and his dad in rapid succession, who all repeat what Grim said and it shows the same flashback each time, with the exception of Billy's dad's side of the story showing that he was disguised as the Sasquatch.
** The episode "The Secret Snake Club" is loaded with these including 25 seconds of Billy dancing with chickens in an ImagineSpot.
** At the end of "Five o'Clock Shadows", Grim is aghast to see Mandy and her shadow ''both'' grumpy (previously, Mandy's shadow was [[OtherMeAnnoysMe annoyingly cheerful]]) and Billy having not just one shadow, but many, ''many'', ''MANY'' shadows (Billy and his ''dumber'' shadow having opened a portal to release all of the Billy shadows), and this exchange happens, in a spoof of ''Film/TheShining'':
--->'''Mandy:''' Well, Grim, it looks like you'll have to take us ''all'' home.\\
'''Mandy's shadow:''' And we'll play together...\\
'''Mandy:''' ...forever...\\
'''Mandy's shadow:''' ...and ever...\\
'''Mandy:''' ...and ever...\\
'''Mandy's shadow:''' ...and ever.\\
'''Billy's many,''' '''''many''''' '''shadows:''' And ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever...\\
'''Billy:''' ''(jumping in the air)'' ''AND EVER!!!''\\
'''Billy's shadows:''' YAY!
** The ending of "Be A-Fred, Be Very A-Fred"; when Grim is forced to spend a day with Fred Fredburger because he won a contest that only he entered, the two of them go on a saucer ride and it launches Fred to the arctic. When the board of directors hear what happened, they beat Grim with wooden clubs and tell him he's fired. They all leave, until one of them comes back with a flamethrower and sprays Grim with green fire for several seconds, then they all dump coffee on him.

* In ''WesternAnimation/HomeMovies'', Jason keeps trying to add overly long jokes about barbarians acting ''barbaric'' to a movie script. Melissa refuses to transcribe them past a point, saying, "That's where I think the joke ends!"
** "Can I ''axe'' you a question?"
[[/folder]]
[[folder:I]]
* This is ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim's'' bread and butter. Take for example, this quote from "Tak: The Hideous New Girl", in which Tak has just started to explain her evil plan to Zim, starting with "Part 1" - crippling his base's functions.
-->"Part 2 is --"\\
"NOOO! My beautiful base!"\\
"Part 2 is --"\\
"NOOO! My beautiful base!"\\
"Part 2 --"\\
"NOOOO! My base!"\\
"Part 2 --"\\
"NOOO!"\\
"Part --"\\
"NOOO!"\\
"Okay, I'm -- "\\
"NOOO!"\\
"Okay, I'm going now."\\
"But you didn't tell me what your plan was."
** Similarly:
--->"I am-"\\
"Who are you!"\\
"I am-"\\
Who are you!"\\
"I am-"\\
"Who are you!"
** Also similarly, from "Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy":
--->"A hunter-destroyer -- "\\
"What is it?!"\\
"A hunter-destroyer -- "\\
"What is it?!"
** And yet again similarly:
--->"ZIM!"\\
"WHAAAAT?"\\
"ZIM!"\\
"WHAAAAT?"\\
"ZIM!"\\
"WHAAAAT?"
** A scene from "Megadoomer" showed Zim in the titular battle mech behind a smiling woman in her car at a stoplight shouting "Hey, move it! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! ..." and then finally "You invoke my wrath?!" and as the light turns green and she moves, "Victory for Ziiim!"
** There was also the opening to "Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars", where Invader Zim was on screen with the Tallest, shouting "My tallest! Hey! My tallest! My taaaalleeest!" for three hours straight (actually a minute on-screen).
--->'''Tallest Red:''' I was curious to see when you'd shut up on your own. But it's been ''three hours'' now, Zim. ''THREE HOURS!!!''
** Jhonen Vasquez himself said in the commentary that he would have made that entire gag last ''the entire episode'' if he could get away with it.
** When GIR asked Zim if he was going to make biscuits for 45 seconds
** "[[http://youtu.be/fqcn_TPu4qQ I'm gonna sing the Doom Song now!]]" GIR probably deserves a special prize for that, seeing as it apparently lasted ''[[IncessantMusicMadness six months]]'' for Zim.
** The Zim writers apparently love this trope. In fact, "Zim Eats Waffles" is essentially an episode-long Overly-Long Gag. And it's hilarious.
*** Every shot panning from the computer to Dib and back again constitutes as they were all painfully long.
** There's also that [[BigNo scream]] in "Battle of the Planets" from the guy on the hill, with [[ItMakesSenseInContext Mars balanced on top of his soda can]].
--->'''Guy''': "Oh no! Oh no! Ooooohhh nooo! Oooooooh noooo! Oh no! Oh no! Oooohh no!! Oooh..."

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'':
** [[DuckSeasonRabbitSeason Duck! Rabbit, Duck!]] Bugs puts up a new season sign whenever Daffy mentions he is another animal. This goes on for the entirety of the film. Eventually...
--->'''Elmer:''' Oh, Mister Game Warden, I hope you can help me. I've been told I can shoot wabbits and goats and pigeons and mongooses and dirty skunks and ducks. Could you tell me what season it weawwy is?\\
'''The "Game Warden" (actually Bugs in a Game Warden suit):''' Why soitainly, my boy, (whips out a baseball) it's baseball season!
** Elmer then goes insane and shoots the baseball repeatedly.
*** Which is nothing to compare with Daffy [[SanitySlippage completely and utterly losing it.]]
---->'''Daffy:''' Shoot me again! I enjoy it! I love the smell of burnt feathers, and gunpowder, and cordite! I'm an elk! Shoot me, go on! It's elk season! I'm a fiddler crab! Why don't you shoot me? It's fiddler crab season!
** "WesternAnimation/PorkyPigsFeat" has a memorable moment when the Manager of the Broken Arms Hotel, driven into a state of fury by Daffy's antics, attempts to break down the door to his and Porky's room. The rug gets pulled out from under him, and he goes tumbling down the stairs. The next 30 seconds are spent watching him fall down step after step, going "Ee! Ah! Oh! Ah!" until he crashes at the bottom. The second time around, he fakes it.
** At the end of the WesternAnimation/BugsBunny cartoon "FallingHare", Bugs is in a crashing airplane, which continues to fall out of the sky for over a minute (time enough for a half-dozen reaction gags from Bugs), before [[spoiler: running out of gas and stopping two feet above the ground]].
** "WesternAnimation/ToBeepOrNotToBeep": The boulder on the catapult, before TheReveal that it wasn't an {{ACME Product|s}}.
** "Lickety-Splat" The needle-nosed dart bombs.
** ''WesternAnimation/RobinHoodDaffy'': "Yoiks! And away!" (THUD!)
** ''WesternAnimation/HopalongCasualty'': A great Ken Harris animated scene where the Coyote swallows earthquake pills.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'': Lolly Poopdeck's painfully drawn out delivery of the punchline of a joke in "Day Without Laughter".
* Dr. Rockso's constant repetition of "[[CatchPhrase I do cocaine!]]" in ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}''. It was mildly funny at first, then it became annoying. But by season two, the fact that he simply ''would not stop saying it'' made it inexplicably hilarious.
** This was actually lampshaded as a OLG. "...Yes. You've told us. Repeatedly. Please stop."
** There's also the DVD EasterEgg scene of Nathan Explosion reading from ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}''. Very, very badly. For twenty minutes. And then there's a ''second'' Overly Long Gag in the credits...
*** Many of the DVD extras consist of Overly Long Gags, though not usually as long as the ''Hamlet'' one. There is an 8 minute feature of Pickles sitting in his underwear on a bed babbling incoherently while on drugs, and another that's about five minutes of the Bishop guy tuning his guitar and trying to play simple chords while grunting to himself. Some of these are more successful than others.
*** Another 12-minute "deleted episode" sketch features all 5 members of the band sitting drunk in a darkened room trying to name all the "great metal bands" ("metal" being a catch-all term for "brutal") they can think of. It begins with your standards (Black Sabbath, Metallica), then grows increasingly esoteric (Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Redbone), to just plain absurd (Hanson, ABBA).
** Stops copies me. Stops copies me.
** Knubbler's 30 second long scream.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeAsATeenageRobot'' episode "Victim of Fashion", the characters Brit and Tiff laugh over their next evil scheme... for 30 seconds straight. With the camera focused on the two characters for the entire duration.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** [[MotorMouth Pinkie Pie's]] dialogue occasionally delves into this trope.
--->'''Pinkie Pie:''' Are you excited? Because I'm excited! I've never been so excited! Well, except for the time I saw you walking into town, and I went ''{{gasp}}!'', but I mean really, who could top that?
** In "Over a Barrel", we have Chief Thunderhooves' rant about his tribe's sacred stampeding trail: "My father stampeded upon these grounds. And his father before him...and his father before him...and his father before him...and his father before him..." Meanwhile, the other tribe members are shown trying to stay awake, and Little Strong Heart eventually has to shut the chief up.
** Near the end of "A Friend in Deed", Pinkie tries to chase Cranky Doodle Donkey down and tell him that she's "really really really really really really really really [etc.]" sorry for ruining his scrapbook.
** In ''[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E24EquestriaGames Equestria Games]]'', Spike [[CringeComedy attempts to make up words for the Cloudsdale anthem since he's never heard it before]]. A number of them involve super-fast flying, trees, and wishing the song would just end already. Naturally, the song is comically long.
** In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS8E8TheParentMap "The Parent Map,"]] Sunburst's mother Stellar Flare enchanted the gate at the entrance of the town to announce "Welcome to Sire's Hollow!" whenever it's opened. Starlight repeatedly closes and opens the gate to demonstrate to her [[MostAnnoyingSound how annoying it is]].
--->'''Gate recording:''' ''Welcome to Sire's Hollow! Welcome to Sire's Hollow! Welcome to Sire's Hollow! Welcome to Sire's Hollow!''\\
'''Stellar Flare:''' Okay, it's annoying, I get it.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
** The credits sequence of the episode "It's About Time!" consists of Mr. Fletcher saying/humming "Fossils! Dun dun dun!", in an imitation of the end of a museum tour tape he listened to earlier in the episode, repeatedly for about half a minute.
** "I, Brobot" has a several-seconds-long clip of Candace running screaming to the basement and hiding in the panic room.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSheen'' does this twice in a row: First, when Sheen, Mr. Nesmith, and Doppy are trying to rescue Aseefa, Doppy loses his grip on the tower, and they fall. And fall. And continue to fall. Eventually they hit the ground, with Sheen and Nesmith on top of Doppy. When they try to talk to Doppy to check if he's okay, Doppy keeps interupting them by making a grinding, whirring noise.
* In one BaseballEpisode of a ''WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}}'' cartoon, Bluto decides to pitch his slow ball to Popeye. However, it's a ''very'' slow ball. At first, Wimpy (the umpire) asks Popeye if he would like to go home and come back later (he declines); while waiting for the ball, Popeye calls his mother, Bluto flirts with a female spectator, and Wimpy, naturally, goes to the hamburger stand. After about two minutes of this, the ball is about to reach the plate, and Popeye finally hits it.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Child Fearing" parodies this when the girls watch some children's programming. A cartoon dinosaur named [[ShoutOut Blarney]] sings a song about animals and how he'd behave if were one of them... then he just starts mentioning pretty much anything that seemingly comes to his mind.
-->'''Blarney''': If I were a bunny, I'd...'''[[SuddenlyShouting HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!! HOP!!!]]''' If I we're a rhino, I'd... '''STOMP!!!

* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' had a scene in "Every Meat Burrito" where the whole climax is just one overly long gag: Barry (the episode's villain) keeps making long screams when Mordecai repeatedly punches him. It's a spoof of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAdniWncWu4 this scene]] from the Turkish film ''Karateci Kız'', which gained notoriety as the "Worst Death Scene Ever".
* Rick's rambling monologue at the end of the pilot episode of ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. [[http://youtu.be/9Gtc4DHYvc0 Watch it in its full glory here.]]

* [=MacFarlane=] has a pretty big influence on Creator/SethGreen's ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken''--the show could be described as "Family Guy if they took out the bits about plot"--so to no surprise, to say the least, some clips are longer and tedious than others. This ''really'' comes into play in the second season. Thing is, these clips are never seen again, and are thus funny.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'':
** The climax of "Teed Off" has nearly every character in the cartoon (and Rocko, who wasn't in the episode until this point) screaming as Heffer [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext crashes his flying lawnmower into the groundskeeper's secret base]].
** In "Road Rash" Rocko and Heffer stop and ask for directions to Phlegm Rock from a country bumpkin, who gets side-tracked telling a rambling story about his friend Ferb ("His real name was Frank, but everyone called him Ferb. Ain't that crazy?"). Rocko and Heffer eventually get bored and drive off, and it cuts to hours later when the guy finally finishes his story.

** Fans of the show commonly refer to this trope as a "rake scene", after the scene in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E2CapeFeare Cape Feare]]" in which Sideshow Bob spends the best part of a minute [[RakeTake stepping on rakes]]. Given the origin of this scene, the probable circumstances that determine exactly how overly long an overly long gag could probably be described as "how much time needs filling?"
** The scene from "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E20TwoDozenAndOneGreyhounds Two Dozen and One Greyhounds]]", where Homer tries to eat chips which are repeatedly stolen from his hands by the greyhound puppies. This happens eight times, and the first four are recognisably the same footage as the second four, except for Homer saying "This time," before the last one.
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E9PrankstaRap Pranksta Rap]]", Milhouse tosses a frisbee six total times, picks it up each time, until he finally says, "This is no fun without Bart. He used to watch me while I did this."
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E11TheTwistedWorldOfMargeSimpson The Twisted World of Marge Simpson]]", when Cletus Spuckler introduces his 26 children to Marge and Homer.
** From "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E17LastExitToSpringfield Last Exit to Springfield]]": "DENTAL PLAN!" "Lisa needs braces!" "DENTAL PLAN!" "Lisa needs braces!" "DENTAL PLAN!" "Lisa needs braces!"
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E16BrotherFromAnotherSeries Brother from Another Series]]", Sideshow Bob and Bart fall off a dam, screaming the entire way, and have to stop to take in a breath, before they continue to scream.
** The episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS2E5DancinHomer Dancin' Homer]]" has this with Bleeding Gums Murphy singing the American National Anthem at the start of a baseball game. He starts singing at 7:30. He finishes singing at '''7:56'''. And by the time he is finished, Lisa is the only one who is still genuinely paying attention.
** In the episode "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS18E19CrookAndLadder Crook and Ladder]]", Homer takes sleeping pills that may cause mood swings. The next gag is at least 30 seconds worth of Homer saying "Mood Swings!" in different tones.
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E3SleepingWithTheEnemy Sleeping with the Enemy]]" has an episode where Ralph Wiggum tries to play "Duck Duck Goose" at a party, or rather "Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck Duck..." (etc.)
*** Come on, if it weren't for the creators of Wiki/TVTropes, Ralph Wiggum's Duck Duck Duck etc. gag would be the {{Trope Namer|s}}.
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E22PoppasGotABrandNewBadge Poppa's Got a Brand New Badge]]" has Homer listing all the jobs he's had to Marge whilst sitting in bed. Marge goes into their en suite and comes back in with him still talking.
-->[[ContinuityNod You know, I've had a lot of jobs. Boxer, mascot, astronaut, imitation Krusty, baby proofer, trucker, hippie, plow driver, food critic, conceptual artist, grease salesman, carnie, mayor, grifter, bodyguard for the mayor, garbage commissioner, mountain climber, farmer, inventor, Smithers, Poochie, celebrity assistant, power plant worker, fortune cookie writer, beer baron, Kwik-E Mart clerk, homophobe, and missionary. But protecting Springfield, that gives me the best feeling of all.]]
** On several occasions, a character will fall over, then be trampled by several members of a marching band. And an elephant.
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E19TheSweetestApu The Sweetest Apu.]]" Homer's reaction is almost ''the'' longest gag in the whole show. [[SerialEscalation Which is saying something.]]
** Rainier Wolfcastle's bratwurst commercial, a parody of Oscar Mayer's. "Mein Bratwurst has a first name, it's F - R - I - T - Z! Mein Bratwurst has a second name, it's [[OverlyLongName S - C - H - N - A - C - K - E - N - P - F - E - F - F - E - R - H - A - U - S - E - N...]]"
** Homer's comically long long-distance phone dial in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E22InMargeWeTrust In Marge We Trust]]".
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS17E11WereOnTheRoadToDohwhere We're on the Road to D'ohwhere]]" had Ned Flanders singing the final line of "Joseph's Coat/The Coat of Many Colors" (see above) while watering his flower boxes. It actually manages to make what is already an Overly-Long Gag ''even longer'' by a) having Flanders momentarily stop singing while he moved from one window to the next and then carrying on where he left off, and b) instead of finishing with a final "-and BLUE!", he ''loops back to'' "-and red and yellow and..." ''and carries on.''
** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS20E13GoneMaggieGone Gone Maggie Gone]]", Lisa opens a secret passage behind an organ. We see several contraptions combining to unlock this passage. It is implied there were more. Even Lisa gets bored waiting.
** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS20E14InTheNameOfTheGrandfather In the Name of the Grandfather]]" brings us Grampa smashing the Simpsons hot tub. The family flops about for about thirty seconds, pausing twice.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** In "[[Recap/SouthParkS7E1Cancelled Cancelled]]", this trope is spelled out. Kyle is asked to activate the satellite dish in Cartman's rectum, and each time he approaches, Cartman farts and laughs. Everyone agrees it is no longer funny, and Cartman does it again, prompting the others to laugh and Chef to proclaim it funny once more.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pifQm3IZ1tc The Imagination Song]]
** [[WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut Kyle's Mom Is A Bitch]] also qualifies, combined with RefugeInAudacity:
--->'''Cartman:''' "...She's a bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch! Bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch, she's a stupid bitch! Kyle's mom's a bitch and she's just a dirty bitch!"
** The main plot of "[[Recap/SouthParkS6E1JaredHasAides Jared Has Aides]]" consists entirely of people confusing the word "aides" with "AIDS", to the point where the titular Jared starts [[LampshadeHanging flogging a literal dead horse]].
** Then there's Terrence and Phillip vs. Steven Abootman in "[[Recap/SouthParkS12E4CanadaOnStrike Canada On Strike]]".
--->[[TermsOfEndangerment "I'm not your friend, buddy!"]]\\
"I'm not your buddy, guy!"\\
"I'm not your guy, friend!"
** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkmV9mnUTC4 Now that's what I call a sticky situation!]]"
** The entire "B-Plot" of "[[Recap/SouthParkS6E17RedSleighDown Red Sleigh Down]]" consists of Jimmy taking forever to sing "The 12 Days of Christmas" to the town because of how bad his stutter is. Gets a slight LampshadeHanging from Mr. Garrison when he quietly mutters "[[ThisIsGonnaSuck Oh no...]]" as Jimmy finally gets to the second verse.
* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'' is also no stranger to the overly long gag.
** In the first episode, Captain Hero wishes for a hot black woman to appear, at which moment Foxxy Love walks through the door. He then [[RetroactiveWish wishes for]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice a 12-year-old girl and a donkey to appear]], and proceeds to wait...and wait, and wait, and wait...
** In the first season finale, the housemates stage a sit-in in an attempt to deliberately make the show boring so that the producer will be forced to give them some perks. And true to their word, the sit-in consists of them doing nothing but sitting there and blinking for well over a minute.
** In "Xandir and Tim, Sitting in a Tree", Spanky Ham draws a fart out for 60 seconds.
** In "Alzheimer's That Ends Well", The senior citizens make a call to Boba Fett with a rotary dial phone. As long as it sounds.
*** The third season had this as a [[TheStinger stinger]] during the credits, featuring a clip from the episode looped or altered somewhat. Though there's always a climax.
** In "Breakfast Food Killer", while the characters onscreen are completely motionless, there is an offstage dialogue of Wooldoor talking to someone outside the audition room for a good 1 or 2 minutes about nonsense.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpaceGhostCoastToCoast'': The "Fire Ant" episode, as originally aired, contained a ''ten-minute-long'' sequence consisting entirely of Space Ghost following an ant to its house to kill its family. No action, almost no dialogue, just Space Ghost following an ant.
* Some of the lazier episodes of ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' use this trope excessively, often to the point that an episode will actually ''become'' this trope. Examples include: "Slide Whistle Stooges", "Blackjack", "Funny Pants", "A Day Without Tears", "Face Freeze!", and "Grandpappy the Pirate".
** While this is true, many older episodes had slightly more brief examples of this, such as the line "Have you finished those errands yet?" being repeated in part or in whole over twenty times in "Squid's Day Off", and [=SpongeBob=] screaming no less than 25 times in a row in "Graveyard Shift".
*** He goes on to laugh repeatedly when Squidward says he was joking.
** From "The Algae's Always Greener":
--->'''[=SpongeBob=]''': "A customer ordered a medium soda, and I gave him a large! I GAVE HIM A LARGE! I've soiled the good Krusty Krab name! Soiled it, soiled it, soiled it, soiled it! Soiled it, soiled it, soiled it, soiled it! Soiled it..."\\
'''Plankton''': (poking [=SpongeBob=]) "[[LampshadeHanging Where's the off button on this thing?]]"
*** "Someday the Krabby Patty formula will be mine! Even if I have to come back tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day. And the next day...."
** "Ugh" is just full of these:
*** Squog slipping on Gary's slime.
*** [=SpongeGar=] taking a good 30-45 seconds realizing that he can use Squog's stick to get two marshmallow-like plants out of their fire, cutting between [=SpongeGar=]'s face, the stick and the fire ([[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext as well as a barbershop quartet]]) progressively faster until it near-reaches EpilepticFlashingLights territory.
*** The sequence where [=SpongeGar=], Patar and Squog are roasting various plants (and [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence kra]][[{{Pun}} bs]].)
*** And this isn't even mentioning the second half of the [=SpongeBob=] part of the episode, the majority of it having them trying to steal the fire from eachother in various ways.
** [=SpongeBob=] repeatedly interrupting the doctor trying to remove Squidward's bandages in "The Two Faces of Squidward."
** The episode "Keep Bikini Bottom Beautiful" has almost no gags- other than "Squidward ends up next to litter, and is sentenced to Community Service whether it's his or not." [=SpongeBob=] gets CS once, Squilliam gets it once, and Squidward gets it ''8 times...'' (He almost got it 9, even!)
** "All That Glitters", where [=SpongeBob=] cries to...everything in Bikini Bottom about his broken spatula. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HHAUUUUUUUUUH!"
** Similarly, "[=SpongeBob=] You're Fired" has [=SpongeBob=] crying for about a full minute after Mr. Krabs fires him. As this happens, the tears affect customers in the background.
*** This episode also has the scene where [=SpongeBob=] continually attempts to cling to Patrick's rock, to no avail.
** Zooming in on the patty in "Krusty Krab Training Video" The narrator imitates a fanfare throughout, stopping to catch his breath partway.
*** And another lampshade on this: as the "How to make a Krabby Patty" part of the video it was intro-ing was about to begin it was cut off by the EPISODE ENDING.
** [=SpongeBob=] going over the activities he and Patrick have planned for the rainy day in "Pineapple Fever". Mostly, he repeats activities he's already stated.
** [=SpongeBob=] ringing Mrs. Puff's doorbell for about 30 straight seconds in "Pet or Pests", without any dialogue. This continues ''[[WhatAnIdiot even after Mrs. Puff opens it]]''.
** [=SpongeBob=] and Squidward clearing their throats in "Choir Boys", which happens ''multiple times''.
** "The Camping Episode" has this, and probably would have gone longer if Squidward hadn't stopped [=SpongeBob=]:
--->'''[=SpongeBob=]''': Patrick's right Squidward, sea bears are no laughing matter. Why one time I met this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy who knew this guy's ''cousin''-\\
'''Squidward''': YOU'RE RIGHT!
*** Also, the "Campfire Song" Song. Squidward doesn't bother to stop them, he just sits there with an annoyed look on his face.
*** The sea bear attack also. "That was an oval! It has to be a circle!"
** And from "Whatever Happened to [=SpongeBob?=]": "Idiot boy, idiot boy, idiot boy, idiot boy..."
** Another example in "Dear Vikings".
---> '''Viking:''' This is Olaf. And this is Olaf. This is Olaf. Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, and um...\\
'''Other Viking:''' Olaf.\\
'''Squidward:''' So, lemme guess. Your name must be...\\
'''Viking:''' That's right, [[OddNameOut Gordon!]]

[[folder:T]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TitanMaximum''. In the pilot episode of all places, [[spoiler:during the 50-second long falling death of Spud]].
* In WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry [[RecycledInSpace Blast Off To Mars]] the Martian King falls down a ridiculously-long flight of stairs. After a few bounces it cuts to some of the guards playing cards. Then back to the king, still on his way down. Then to a couple of the guards flirting. Then back to the king. Then to the guards [[UpToEleven getting married]]. Then back to the king. Then to the guards [[SerialEscalation holding several small children]]. Then he finally hits the ground.
-->'''Martian King:''' IMeantToDoThat.
%%* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama World Tour'': "Al! Buddy! Al! Don't leave me hanging! Al! Al? Al? Al! Al! Al! Al!"
[[/folder]]
[[folder:V]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' episode "Every Which Way But Zeus", Brock and Col. Gathers have a discussion of a stripper's breasts, which they describe as "mournful tits". They go on discussing how "sad" her breasts were in every way imaginable for about a minute.
** Look into THE NOZZLE...THE NOZZLE is calibrating...do not look away from THE NOZZLE...
[[/folder]]
[[folder:W]]
* ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'': In "The Hole... Lotta Nothin'", there's a long stretch where Wander stands around on a barren planet with his finger stuck in a black hole, with nothing to do but wait for Sylvia to come back with help.
%%* This gag is also used in a WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker cartoon (with Woody, Buzz Buzzard and Inspector Willoughby replacing Popeye, Bluto and Wimpy, respectively).
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Y]]
* "Bare Face Bear", a ''WesternAnimation/YogiBear'' short, did this. A dog is going after a criminal in a bear suit, who dives into the hole of a tree. He keeps barking at it until his owner (the sheriff) pops out and glares at him. ''He keeps barking for a good 2 minutes.''
