Fun With Acronyms / Stand-Up Comedy

• George Carlin's strategy for taking out the terrorists after 9/11 was to deploy huge football fans in all the caves in Afghanistan after months of eating beans, cheese, cabbage, and beer. He called it the Flatulent Airborne Recovery Team.
• Richard Herring regularly turns the titles of his shows into acronyms and insists on calling them by that name, often involving the crowd in a Call And Response.

• In one stand-up routine, Dara Ó Briain talks about when he and his wife attended a pre-natal class while she was pregnant. Dara comments that such classes in England are run by the NCT, or National Childbirth Trust. He then points out that in Ireland NCT stands for "National Car Test".
  I, like a fuckin' idiot, forgot that, and walked out at the start of this tour saying, "Well I took my pregnant wife in for an NCT," and the whole room recoiled in horror, as if to go, "Why would you do that? Why would you take her into a garage and say, 'Jaysus, the handling is gone, she's all over the road! Mind you, the headlamps, the headlamps are better than I've ever seen them, don't touch them!'"
• One of Jeff Dunham's puppets, his "manager" Sweet Daddy D, who dresses in unmistakable Pimp Duds, describes himself as a "Playa In the Management Profession". He then states that since he's the pimp, that makes Jeff the ho.
• One of Jasper Carrott's best jokes was about an ultimate cleaning fluid called Best Universal Grit Grime and Effluent Remover, with the advertising strapline "If Persil doesn't brighten it, and Daz doesn't whiten it, BUGGER it!"
