Overly Long Gags in web animation.


  • Manel Muzas from Cálico Electrónico can spend hours laughing at a joke he told. It's shown by way of a Time-Compression Montage — which still can be pretty long itself.
  • Charlie the Unicorn: "Chaaaaaaarrliiiiiiiie....Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee...We're on a bridge, Chaaaaarrrrlliiiiieeeeeee..."
  • The Cyanide and Happiness animated short "Speed Racist", where the aforementioned Speed Racist suffers a crash and spends a full two and a half minutes in a monologue of screaming pain about the fire and the irony of his racism....from off panel.
  • The Demented Cartoon Movie! has the many attempts of the characters to go to Mars and find out what's behind the Zeeky Words causing explosions without blowing up or crashing. Lampshaded by the guy in the green chair: "Damn it, this scene is taking freaking forever."
  • GoAnimate:
    • A typical "X Gets Grounded" video will usually have at least one of these, even if it's just the parent characters saying the number of years (number by number) that the grounded person is grounded for. Other notable examples of this include "OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOH!", "nononononononononono", or other such exclamations of that sort, or the parents listing the amounts of punishments the person being grounded is getting.
    • Additionally, "X Gets In Dead Meat (And Gets Grounded)" videos, which involve characters at school getting behavior cards, often have dozens of characters getting their cards and explaining which one they have before the character in the video's title receives their bad behavior card. Videos of this kind can last as much as ten minutes, if not longer.
  • The Half-Life mod Elevator: Source is one big overly long gag filled with some nice surprises.
  • Helluva Boss: "Loo Loo Land?" "Loo Loo Land?!" "Loo Loo Land!"
    Loona: "SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!"
  • Homestar Runner:
    • In the Strong Bad Email "flashback", Strong Bad decides to commemorate his 100th email by saying "email" 100 times in a row. And does it. His computer provides him with a virtual glass of water afterwards.
    • In "for kids", Strong Bad's reaction to Homsar's kids' show becomes this:
      "I've got two words for the children that are raised on that crap: HELD BACK. REPEATING THE THIRD GRADE. LOW STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES. I GUESS THIS WAS MORE THAN TWO WORDS. THE PAPER, PLEASE TAKE US HOME."
    • In the email "boring (really)", Strong Bad gets an email from a viewer complaining of boredom, and asking how exciting day-to-day life in Free Country USA really was. He and several other characters manage (by speaking and moving very slowly) to make a twenty-five-second conversation last four minutes - which, SB insists, makes for an extremely exciting day.
    • In "portrait", The Cheat is seen gnawing a wooden sculpture of Strong Bad— or at least trying to.
      Strong Bad: You're just really going to town there, aren't ya?
    • The email "secret identity" ends with Strong Bad spending about eight seconds chasing the Poopsmith out of his house with a fondue fork while repeatedly chanting "Get Out!, get out, get out, get out..."
    • "The Baloneyman" has Homestar failing to get the implications of Bubs saying one of the sandwiches he sells is "Shaped like there's a bite taken out of it."
    • In "A Decemberween Mackerel", Marzipan explains to Homestar why they're slogging through the snow with a hot dish of bean sprouts: "At Decemberween time, it's our duty as people with more than one DVR to help those much, much, much, much, way very, very, very much, really smelly, a lot much less fortunate than us."
  • In If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device, the conversation about Salamanders' everything being connected to fire starts as a random distraction and goes on for several minutes, to the point that the Emperor has to call for it to end.
  • Kurzgesagt: In "How to Win an Interstellar War", the narrator states that the Ultra-Relativistic Electron Beam travels at 99.999999999999999999999999998% of the speed of light. That's 26 9s after the decimal point that he says before finally going "phew!"
  • The Most Popular Girls in School loves this trope. Listing all the instances would be an Overly Long Gag in itself.
  • In the sixth episode of the PONY.MOV series, it takes Discord about a full minute to rip off Rainbow Dash's wings.
  • Episode 21 of Retarded Animal Babies features, after the credits, a very long phone call from Puppy's insanely drunk (or drugged out) cousin.
  • Team Service Announcement:
    • In Class Balance, the entire BLU team is nothing but Snipers, all muttering the same phrase as they blindly fire repetitively.
      Snipers: "It's like Christmas morning." *BANG* "It's like Christmas morning." *BANG* "It's like Christmas morning." *BANG*... "It's like Christmas morning." *BANG*
    • Cooperative Engineering features the Engineers giving each other thumbs up, then their teammates giving thumbs ups, then their enemies, then characters not even from TF2, then "Sniper Jesus"...
  • Zero Punctuation: Yahtzee's short answer as to whether or not Spore could live up to creator Will Wright's legacy was "No." His long'' answer was a Big "NO!" which lasted a full sixteen seconds. There's a second, slightly shorter Big "NO!" near the end of the review, too, and it's only shorter because the credits cut him off.
