20	* ''WebAnimation/The30SecondBunniesTheatre'' has bunny ears on everything. Fighter jets, penguins, sharks, ''xenomorph'', ''[[Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan the Genesis planet]]''...
21	* ''WebAnimation/AnimatorVSAnimation'':
22	** Alan's Required Essay getting wrecked. It gets burnt in ''2'', used as a battlefield in ''3'', and blown up in ''Animation VS Minecraft''.
23	** The [[OurSloganIsTerrible terrible]] vacuum ads in ''Animation VS Youtube'' that, on one occasion, managed to [[AntiClimax interrupt the action]].
24	** In the ''Animation VS Minecraft'' shorts, almost every time Green wins a build contest, [[SoreLoser at least one person throws TNT at it.]]
25	* ''WebAnimation/BowsersKingdom:''
26	** Hal isn't paid to work for Bowser.
27	** Steve almost always says "HI GUYS!" when he first appears in an episode.
28	** The Inaudible Thwomp's subtitles will usually change into "???"
29	** Paul Hammerbro throws hammers when angered.
30	** Kamek constantly calls Jeff and Hal (mostly Hal) gay.
31	* ''WebAnimation/BrawlOfTheObjects'' had a character named [[AnthropomorphicFood Hot Dog]], who doesn't like catching small, gray boxes because he keeps missing them every time he is safe from elimination. [[spoiler:[[RunningGagged He finally managed to catch a box]] during the first mini-challenge in "How it All Ended," when Pizza told him to focus]].
32	* ''WebVideo/CodeMENT'': TEAM DEATH MATCH.
33	* ''WebAnimation/DarkSecretsOfGarrysMod'':
34	** Whenever [[Videogame/HalfLife2 Isaac Kleiner]] says "THIS IS MADNESS" Franchise/{{Sonic\|TheHedgehog}} [[GroinAttack kicks him in the nuts]] while yelling "[[Film/ThreeHundred THIS IS SPARTA]]".
35	** Boss has two {{catchphrase}}s: "[[BestialityIsDepraved NE BASZ LOVAT]] A GARÁZSBAN" ("DO NOT FUCK HORSES IN THE GARAGE") and "VIZIPÁP" ("AQUATIC POPE").
36	** [[https://www.youtube.com/szpgamer SzpGamer]] the [[Videogame/HalfLife1 headcrab]] being obsessed over ''Videogame/{{Crysis}}''.
37	** A [[Videogame/MineCraft creeper]] showing up yelling "[[http://wikipedia.com/wiki/Ruby_&_Quentin FUCK YOU]]" before exploding.
38	* ''WebAnimation/DeathBattle'':
39	** Boomstick regularly bringing up either his DisappearedDad or his horrifying ex-wife. The former gag end up as the center of its own arc throughout season 8, and would eventually be put to rest with "[[Wrestling/RandySavage Macho Man]] VS Kool-Aid Man" (the series' [[MilestoneCelebration 150th episode]]), where Boomstick finally chooses to move on, while also definitively confirming that [[spoiler:[[WebAnimation/RedVsBlue Sarge]] is his father]].
40	** Wiz [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] at FantasyMetals for always being tougher yet lighter than titanium.
41	** The hosts have a tendency to not take the death of characters who have died and came back to life canonically that seriously.
42	** Characters voiced by [=Takahata101=] have a tendency to meet hilariously violent deaths whenever they lose (with the only exception to this being [[spoiler:ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}]]).
43	** Episodes involving a ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'' characters always tend to feature two recurring gags, the first being [[MegaCorp UltraTech]] being compared to Wal-Mart, and the second being the character of that episode performing a ComboBreaker, complete with the LargeHamAnnouncer.
44	** Episodes involving [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Shadow the Hedgehog]] have the opponent saying [[MythologyGag "sayonara"]] to him [[spoiler:right before finishing him off]]. [[spoiler:While this proves successful for [[Franchise/DragonBall Vegeta]] and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Mewtwo]], the joke would get [[RunningGagged gagged]] when [[Anime/KillLaKill Ryūko]]'s attempt would prove less than successful (with Shadow himself sounding noticeably annoyed at having heard that line again)]].
45	** Episodes involving a ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' character have a gag of episodes never actually involving anyone dying. "[[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Starscream]] VS Rainbow Dash" [[spoiler:ends with Dash winning, but she technically never actually kills Starscream due to his immortality]]. "Deadpool VS Pinkie Pie" [[spoiler:has the two becoming friends and abandoning the fight, resulting in a draw where no one loses]]. "[[ComicBook/RavenDCComics Raven]] VS Twilight Sparkle" [[spoiler:has an AmbiguousEnding where it's left unclear if Raven killed Twilight or Twilight survived with AmusingInjuries]]. And "[[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]] VS Discord" [[spoiler:''does'' end with Bill killing Discord, but a post-fight info graph notes that, [[AsLongAsThereIsEvil so long as chaos exists]], he will be able to come back]].
46	** Whenever a character who appeared in ''WesternAnimation/CaptainNTheGameMaster'' appears on the show (such as Franchise/MegaMan or [[VideoGame/KidIcarus Pit]]), the hosts will bring up the show's version of that character before Wiz makes it ''[[TakeThat very]]'' clear that this is not that version.
47	** Starting from "[[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Aang]] VS [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]]" onward, the series would adopt ''Avatar'''s own "My cabbages!" running gag, which occurs anytime a character from the series is involved in the fight.
48	** Season 7 have a recurring gag of characters dabbing at some point during the fight.
49	* ''WebAnimation/DeclineOfVideoGaming'': "OHMYGODIMONFIRE!"
50	* ''WebAnimation/DorklyOriginals'':
51	** In most skits whenever an unexpected result occurs, a bemused character will respond with "Huh, neat."
52	** Most ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' videos will feature a Shuckle eagerly waiting to see what special ability/evolution he'll have (as of Gen 8, still nothing). Other Pokémon will either pity him or take advantage of him while he remains blissfully unaware.
53	* In ''WebAnimation/ExtraCredits'': It was Walpole. (Referring to financier Robert Walpole, who may have very well been the first Prime Minister from his influence.) He shows up in among other things the Crusade videos, and as the assasin of one of the Roman Emperors during the 3rd Century Crisis.
54	* ''WebAnimation/FreedomToons'': If a video is about gun control, then expect the gun ban in Australia to be mentioned.
55	* There are several running gags in the ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' line of work, enough for the Homestar Wiki to [[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Category:Running_Gags break them down into seperate categories]]. To name just a few examples:
56	** Characters will make a soap-box speech of some kind from atop an actual soap-box, which has a label with an ever-increasing number on it: "ELEVEN SOAPS", "TWELVE OF THEM", "THIRTEEN, Y'ALL", etc.
57	** Strong Bad napping on the couch, and [[TalkingInYourSleep mumbling the names of video games in his sleep]].
58	** Strong Bad kicking The Cheat.
59	** A soft-spoken middle-aged woman [[PhraseCatcher being told]] "[[BigShutUp Shut up, lady!]]"
60	** There was a whole string of episodes of WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail that included a random reference to "DNA evidence". A cartoon was eventually produced tying them all together.
61	** Characters, most commonly Strong Sad, over-enunciating or mispronouncing foreign words and names in an attempt to pronounce them properly, like "anime" in "Trogdorcon '97", or "Creator/ToveJansson" in "[[Recap/HomestarRunnerTheHomestarRunnerEntersTheSpookyWoods The Homestar Runner Enters the Spooky Woods]]".
62	* ''WebAnimation/HowItShouldHaveEnded'' does this for several videos:
63	** Batman to always shout "It's because I'm Batman!"
64	** In every ''Franchise/StarWars'' video, after Anakin learns he has children, he goes out of his way to tell everyone about it.
65	** For the ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' films, there's a scientist that shows up out of nowhere and demands the characters make sure whatever they're doing won't backfire on them.
66	* Throughout the episode description of almost every ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' episode, the last few words are always "Things sure do happen".
67	* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'':
68	** Every appearance of Adeptus Mechanicus is accompanied by some reference to toasters.
69	** Horus is always referred to as "F*cking Horus".
70	** Karamazov replies to his right hand man's every sentence with "Be quiet, Dominique!"
71	** Dominique ''really'' wants to get some sandpaper cigarettes, and no one ever has any or want to fetch them for him.
72	** Every time Fabulous Custodes appear, they want to take over Kitten's position as Emperor's caretaker. Every time, the Emperor is freaked out by the possibility.
73	* ''WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun'' has several, including the numerous in-video references to Edward James Olmos and the way that every ''X Ways to Y'' video ends in ''The Sam Raimi''. Ex: [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/202/ways_to_hide_a_body Ways to Hide a Body]], [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/185/ways_to_get_in_shape Ways to Get in Shape]], and [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/60/ways_to_get_yourself_killed_in_a_horror_movie Ways to Get Yourself Killed in a Horror Movie]].
74	** [[WebVideo/{{Unskippable}} Their series]] on [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ The Escapist]] also has a few, notably "Eyebrows and the Thugs", supposedly a contemporary jazz band, and "that was the Xth time I died." X is 5 at time of editing.
75	** "Hi folks, Russell here," whenever [[StealthPun a crow]] appears, which is more often than you would think.
76	* [=TheInvertedShadow=]'s ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHK43TJoVNRJ85mxMLzWT9bDTViWzNHUM Lyrish]]'' series: If there's a TV screen in the room, eventually it will start playing anywhere from three to five random video clips in a row that never last more than two seconds. Material ranges from ''WesternAnimation/TwoStupidDogs'' to Starlight Glimmer yelling [[Film/SuburbanCommando "I was]] ''[[Film/SuburbanCommando frozen]]'' [[Film/SuburbanCommando today!"]]
77	* ''WebAnimation/MadnessCombat'': Generally speaking, anyone who smokes onscreen is guaranteed to die. [[spoiler:[[AscendedExtra Deimos]] was no exception]].
78	* In ''WebAnimation/MinilifeTV'', whenever Wilkins, the program coordinator of Minilife Studios, tries to tell anyone his job title, a knight appears and announces it for him.
79	* ''WebAnimation/TheMostPopularGirlsInSchool'':
80	** Whether or not Ashley Katchadourian is supposed to watch the door. [[spoiler:She wasn't; Jenna Darabond is in charge of the door.]]
81	** Brittnay being told she gives sub-par hand jobs.
82	** Every single thing in the present day started in the third grade.
83	** Rachel Tice's obsession with ''Series/GossipGirl2007'', mostly in the first season.
84	** In Season 4, Jenna Dapananian's drug addiction.
85	* ''WebAnimation/TheMostEpicStoryEverToldInAllOfHumanHistory'': [[BigBad Ridiculously Epic’s]] “Evil Mobile” is not an armadillo. Except for when it does turn into a real armadillo when [[TheDitz Ridiculously Epic Fail]] drives it... [[AchievementsInIgnorance for some reason.]]
86	* The ''WebAnimation/NapsterBad'' short "Metallica Millionaire": every time the ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire'' ditty plays, Regis Philbin dances to the tune.
87	* ''WebAnimation/NCHProductions'': Whenever a monster falls over in the VideoGame/MonsterHunter shots, it ''will'' get flash-mobbed by a group of hunters, [[RuleOfFunny no matter how nonsensical it would be.]]
88	* ''WebAnimation/TheNekciMenijShow'' elevates ShamelessSelfPromotion to an artform as a RunningGag. There's also [[Music/KatyPerry Kety Perr]], who has 90% of her dialogue revolve around how she wants everyone to see her film, Pert of Me.
89	* Characters in WebAnimation/PeteraDzive that drink (or sometimes even touch) a bottle of booze will often pass out and wake up naked in inexplicable places. DoubleSubversion occurs in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot9DlcGpNxY Episode 16]], where the main character Peter wakes up naked and grabs a bottle of booze. He suddenly wakes up fully clothed, only to pick up another bottle and wake up naked again.
90	* ''WebAnimation/RagdollLogoBloopers'':
91	** Characters saying "Judas Priest!"
92	** Characters throwing tantrums.
93	** Characters barfing.
94	** Characters getting punched in the face.
95	** Scary logo appearing.
96	** Characters laughing by saying "lol", "rofl", and "swa".
97	** "Shush the sheesh!"
98	* In ''Rick's VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Tales'', creepers are ALWAYS drawn flopping back and forth with over-the-top angry faces. Also, the distorted faces people make, [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext the way Nancy goes LO-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA]], that thing with the animal floating away aand blowing up, wow, I've lost count!
99	* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' has a few.
100	** The same elderly shopkeeper who keeps changing jobs and [[ButtMonkey keeps getting screwed]].
101	** Weiss being bamboozled by someone {{Flash Step}}ping in front of her. First with Ruby, and then with Penny. Also with [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Weiss]], everyone except her being greeted normally -- most characters call her "IceQueen", or "Snow Angel" if they're feeling gracious.
102	** Breaking legs. First suggested by [[BloodKnight Nora]] as a way to deal with a bully, then by [[TheAce Pyrrha]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes more seriously]]. [[spoiler:Played again in "Fall" by Yang, but [[TearJerker this time the circumstances push it as far from funny as it could possibly get.]]]]
103	** Jaune getting launched into the air, either by catapult, by [[ScaryScorpions Deathstalker]], or by rocket locker.
104	* ''WebAnimation/{{Shrapnel}}'': People noting that Reznya should really get a cellphone. Comes to a head in ''Side of Shrapnel: THIS IS THE WAE'', where the entire plot revolves around a Ugandan Knuckles named Goggles trying to deliver one to her from him and his brothers as a thank-you gift for helping them earlier.
105	* In ''WebAnimation/SpriggsAHalo3Machinima'', there is [[RoadrunnerVsCoyote Willy's eternally unsuccessful quest to kill Spriggs.]]
106	* Many episodes of ''WebAnimation/TerribleWritingAdvice'' will advise the readers to shoehorn a LoveTriangle in whenever possible.
107	* ''WebAnimation/TimberWolf'': Every time Thomas (or another character) says his middle name, he can scream out "TIMBER!" [[TheScottishTrope to the point where trees fall and collide on him]].
108	* ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony'' uses "14 Hours Later..." for scene transitions, even where it makes no sense. Also, every time FantasticRacism comes up in the series, the subtitles assure us "I swear I'm not racist." Every time Mayor Mare gives a speech, a mysterious voice calls from the crowd to heckle her.
109	* In ''WebAnimation/{{Unforgotten Realms}}'' Sir Schmoopy of Awesometon repeatedly casts the spell Flare.
