* UnbuiltTrope: ''The Doctor's Dilemma'', written in 1906, features a character named Jennifer Dubedat. At that point "Jennifer" was a very rare feminine name, to the extent that Shaw had to have her explain its origin. With Jennifer eventually becoming a common, almost cliched name for girls later in the century, the exchange becomes HilariousInHindsight
-->'''Mrs. Dubedat''': My name is Jennifer.\\
'''Ridgeon''': A strange name.\\
'''Mrs. Dubedat''': Not in Cornwall. I am Cornish. It’s only what you call Guinevere.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Act III of ''Man and Superman''. Everyone's suddenly in hell, all their names have changed, and they're pausing the plot to have a big philosophical debate, and afterwards everything's back to normal. It's usually left out entirely.
