* ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'':
** In "D.W.'s Snow Mystery", D.W. stores a snowball in the freezer, but it disappears overnight. [[AnnoyingYoungerSibling Naturally, she blames Arthur for it.]] The episode ends with the mystery unresolved, but for the rest of the show, whenever D.W. is claiming Arthur can't be trusted, she will always mention the snowball (to which he denies taking it).
** In "Buster Baxter, Cat Saver", Buster becomes an AccidentalHero when a cat jumps down from a tree to taste his ice cream. His time as "Cat Saver" is referenced frequently for the rest of the series.
** Whenever a contest or competition is held at school, George will win more often than not.

* ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'':
** Any time a news broadcast is shown in the show, [[FreezeFrameBonus keep an eye on]] the {{Crawl}} and watch as it quickly begins to go off the rails.
** One particular wall near the hotel's entrance frequently gets destroyed. This eventually gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]].
--->'''Angel Dust:''' (After Cherri Bomb blows up the wall [[ThereWasADoor to make her entry]]) Argh! What the fuck is with that wall?!
** Any time Angel Dust has to act in anything, he'll eventually start reading directly from the script.
** In the case of an episode contained running gag, "[[Recap/HazbinHotelS1E6WelcomeToHeaven Welcome to Heaven]]" has [[HopelessSuitor Sir Pentious]] constantly attempt to make romantic gestures towards Cherri Bomb, before attempting to make them seem less personal by following them with "...because I'm [X] everybody!" This eventually culminates when his [[RuleOfThree third attempt]] has him proclaiming that he's going to have sex with everybody, leading to him getting [[BlackComedyRape dragged into the club's sex room by a group of demons]].

* The ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' wiki often follows up something that makes fans happy with "and there was much [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail rejoicing (yay...)]]".

Also, whenever there's a picture of [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Animated]] [[TheStarscream Starscream]] or one of his [[CloningBlues clones]], it's almost inevitably accompanied by a relevant quote about [[Series/RedDwarf Arnold Rimmer]].
