->''"With contrast ignored, the tone flailing, the joke explained, and with no distinctive style of my own, what happens when a joke finally does land? Well, be sure to run that joke into the ground through overuse faster than you can say THE LOVE TRIANGLE! Callback humor and RunningGags work best when exploited to the point of exhaustion, worked more until the joke is dead, [[DeadHorseTrope turn the joke into a horse to kill it again and beat it,]] [[UndeadHorseTrope then resurrect the dead joke through the foul art of necromancy to keep abusing it until finally even the joke's bones have withered into dust or fossilized, decayed into oil, and fracked.]] Keep using that joke until the overuse of the joke BECOMES the joke, and then overuse that joke! I call this "joke rotation" and was developed by bronze age comedians to keep their humor fresh."''
