* The comic book ''ComicBook/TheMaxx'' included a different short sentence in its credits.
* Keith Giffen's comics usually have some sort of credit gag, eg: Keith (angry old man) Giffen.
* ''ComicBook/{{Transmetropolitan}}'' at the end of each issue, the three eyed smiley face would be shown in a way somehow related to the content of the issue (walking in the rain, smoking a cigarette, etc.)
* Very frequently in old-school Marvel books, especially ''[[ComicBook/SpiderMan The Amazing Spider Man]]'' and ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', Creator/StanLee would "fancy up" the credit box on the first page. The gags would range from simple nicknames ("by Stan "the Man" Lee and Jack "King" Kirby!") to brutal SelfDeprecation ("written by Stan Lee... because we couldn't afford Creator/MickeySpillane!")
** A RunningGag in these would be Stan denigrating some ButtMonkey staffer, most commonly letterer Artie Simek; when Simek grew annoyed with this, it was changed to the fictional Irving Forbush (the "hero" of Marvel's gag series ''ComicBook/NotBrandEchh'').
* The French comic book ''Comicbook/{{Asterix}}'' in general ends its adventures with the villagers of Asterix's home having a celebratory banquet, where they have to tie up their bard Cacofonix so that he doesn't give a song. This changes on a few occasions.

In "Asterix and Caesar's Gift" and "Asterix and the Secret Weapon" he is having a chat with a girl. In "Asterix and the Magic Carpet" he is far away in India, while his rival Fulliautomatix is sadly awaiting his arrival.
*** The exception to this case is "Asterix the Gladiator" (the first story with Cacofonix having a major role).
** In "Asterix and the Soothsayer" he is content, having dreams of eventual renown to keep him satisfied.
** In "Asterix in Spain" he is laughing at Obelix imitating Spanish dancing.
** In "Asterix and the Laurel Wreath" and "Asterix and the Picts" he is chatting with someone.
** In "Asterix in Corsica" he is surprised to find Dogmatix keeping him some company.
** In "Asterix and the Roman Agent" thanks to the slander that divides the village, one banquet features Cacofonix (the only one not caught up in the arguments) having an ImagineSpot where everyone ''else'' in the village is tied up, in a tragic reversal of the norm. Thankfully, another banquet is held at the end where all is set right and he is tied up.
** In "Obelix and Co" he is held down by a menhir.

* The first panel of Creator/DCThomson strip ''Oor Wullie'' always has Wullie sitting on an upturned bucket. If he's not there, we see the abandoned bucket with narration wondering or explaining where Wullie is.
* Around the 1980s, Marvel Comics started using a standard cover design that included a small box at the top left corner. That corner box would often have unique art that varied with each cover.

Every one of his streams start with a different piece of music playing over some art of him rushing to his drum kit to get ready. Sometimes, he plays this straight and performs some kind of joke or gag, such as reading a dictionary upside down or having his wife at the kit, when the camera comes on.
* ''WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh'':
** Each episode opens with Oancitizen reading some book or periodical relevant to the film for the episode -- from ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' for Jan Svankmeyer's version to a Yankee Candle catalogue for ''Literature/{{Perfume}}''.
--->'''Kyle:''' ''[reading ''Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey'']'' This is still an [[TakeThat automatic punchline]], right?
** Some exceptions are for ''Film/TrashHumpers'', where he's reading garbage bag instructions, and ''Film/MrNobody'', where he holds up his hands as if he was reading a book.
* ''WebVideo/CaptainDisillusion'': At the end of every debunk video, Captain D exits the room in a comical way that usually ends with him either being injured or frustrated.
* WebVideo/DannyGonzalez opens every video with "What's up Greg, I hope you're all having a great day, welcome to another episode of..." and then he makes up a new series title that is related to the video subject. He likewise ends every episode with, "I'll see you guys next week with a really interesting video where I..." and then makes up an absurd video idea that he never actually does.
* ''WebVideo/DeadMeat'' ends the Kill Counts with James A. Janisse moving to the number counting screen in a special fashion, often related to the horror movie covered.
* ''WebVideo/DragonBallAbridged'': From Episode 17 onward, the "please support official release" message is always done by the character who dies in that episode. (Or, in Episode 25's case, the character who ceases to exist as an individual being in that episode.)
* Each episode of ''WebVideo/{{Drawfee}}'' starts with a speed drawing of a coffee cup designed to look like whatever the topic of the video is.
* For a few years, the outro for ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' videos had a gag where their "Subscribe" bar would be misspelled in ways like "Slubscribe," "Slurburb," or "Sruburbs." In the second episode of the ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' playthrough, Dan decides to name the "Subscribe" bar "Scribey" and asks Barry to give it a smiley face, so the bar gets a smile and googly eyes.
* ''WebVideo/IHateEverything'' prefaces the beginning of every "I HATE" video with a message saying "WARNING!, SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH THIS IS MY OPINION. DON'T GET YOUR (insert word relevant to the topic of the video) IN A TWIST".
* ''WebVideo/JakeAndAmir'''s intro sequence is accompanied by a different voiceover every time, typically featuring the main characters introducing the show with a quick argument in their typical BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine style, with guest stars or members of the supporting cast occasionally getting involved.
-->'''[[CloudCuckoolander Amir]]:''' Hey, you're watching ''Jake and Amir'' and I made this intro.\\
'''[[StraightMan Jake]]:''' That's a lie.\\
'''Amir:''' From scratch, y'all.
* ''WebVideo/LinusTechTips'' videos open with a different [[OurSloganIsTerrible slogan]] under the logo during the channel intro.
* The ''WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun'' Magic the Gathering-centred show ''[[WebVideo/CommodoreHustle Friday Nights]]'' has its opening sequence feature the cast in custom ''Magic the Gathering'' joke cards whose details change each episode. The episode ''Unusual'', focused around the official joke set "Unstable", plays with the expectations by having the cast cards be reasonably balanced and not looking mechanically out of place for an official set. The episode ''The Exile Zone'', an homage to ''Franchise/TheTwilightZone'' breaks the pattern -- instead of the ''cast'', the cards are official MTG cards that fit the theme of the episode.
* The web series ''[[http://www.matchstickmccoy.com/ Matchstick McCoy]]'' is NOTHING BUT couch gags.
* ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedComedyFandubSpoofSeriesShow'', also created by Creator/LittleKuriboh, has the starting disclaimer read out in a different way each episode. The highlight would be the one sung by Kakashi 'I'm Not Music/DavidBowie' Bowie
* ''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic'':
** At the end of each review, the Critic plays whatever he considers to be the worst line of the movie over the Channel Awesome logo.
** The 2017 Nostalgiaween intro (which appeared before the five October reviews) parodies the early [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Treehouse of Horror]] openings, as well as the normal ''Simpsons'' opening, by panning over a graveyard, then ending with the crew gathering on a couch. The names on the graveyard (which serve as {{Take That}}s to some outdated pop culture phenomenon) change every episode, as does the "couch gag" ending[[note]]For ''Scary Godmother,'' Critic, Malcolm, and Tamara appear as animated ghosts; for ''It 2017,'' they get scared by a [[ContinuityNod red balloon with eyes]]; for ''Halloween (2007)'' Critic appears dressed as Jason Vorhees wearing Freddy Krueger's glove; for ''The Mummy,'' Critic scares the others away by dressing as [[Film/TheShining Jack Torrence]]; for ''The Mummy (2017)'' the group explodes into "Super Mecha Death Christ" after gathering on the couch.[[/note]].
** Similarly, Webvideo/TheCinemaSnob does the full [=MST3K=] [[TheStinger stinger]] with a regrettable clip.
* Parlsey Boobs switched out its lyrics from episode to episode, getting progressively more bizzare until the end.
* The Creator/PhilthonJones intro. It started out (for the first three videos) as someone just saying "Philthon Jones", but there have been variations since -- [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1xQRmTNNAA one video]] even had the intro segue into the episode itself.
* Up until 2014, WebVideo/ProJared would open each of his full reviews with a shot of him holding a controller, a gameplay clip, then him stating "I'm playing [[MadLibsCatchPhrase (insert game here)]]". His tone instantly gives a general idea of what he thinks of it.
* This happens in ''WebVideo/ProjectVoicebend'': Below the title of every episode, there is a funny line related to older episodes or the like. For example, one of them made of Tarrlok's Cool Kids' Club.
* The intro of WebVideo/RedLetterMedia's review show ''WebVideo/HalfInTheBag'' consists of Plinkett placing a beer bottle in a popcorn bag, announcing the title, and pulling away the bag as he makes a short declaration of some kind that may or [[NonSequitur may not]] have to do with the episode's content. Some of these are recurring, while others are only used once.
* At the end of every videon LetsPlay/{{Skawo}} sits there and waits for the video to end, and more often than not gets hurt, or annoyed. Not always though.
* ''WebVideo/{{Smosh}}'': A random audio clip playing when the Smosh logo comes up in the beginning always gets interrup- SHUT! UP!
* Creator/{{Tobuscus}} opens each episode of Cute Win Fail with a MadLibsCatchPhrase intro, using the formula "Hi, I'm Toby Turner. [Improbable statement], and this is 'Cute Win Fail', the show where videos from three different [items related to improbable statement] compete to become the most EPIC."
* WebVideo/ToddInTheShadows opens each of his videos with a piano rendition of the song being reviewed. If it's a special review, like a top ten list, he will simply play a song from that year or theme. Rare exceptions include movie reviews (though at times he plays a song from the soundtrack), and [[Music/{{LMFAO}} "Sexy and I Know It"]], where Todd refuses to play the song.
** In the Trainwreckords episodes, Todd instead plays a piano rendition of one of the album's songs is played over the credits. Except for ''Music/VanHalen III'' and ''[[Music/McHammer The Funky Headhunter]]'', where instead he goes with a better known song from the artist ("Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love" and "U Can't Touch This").
** The other two series have song snippets play over the end credits. The song at the end of normal pop song reviews will be something tangentially related to the song or the circumstances around it (which often functions as a subtle TakeThat, like Tammy Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" at the end of the [[Music/MeghanTrainor "Dear Future Husband"]] review). One Hit Wonderland instead uses a cover of the reviewed song.
** Regardless of series, Todd almost always finishes his commentary by signing off and walking out of frame before the last few seconds of the song/music video play before cutting to credits. Memorably, the atrocious Asian stereotype at the end of ''Talk Dirty To Me'' made him frantically rush back into the scene and delay the credits to express his horror.
* ''WebVideo/UNHhhh'' opens with Trixie and Creator/{{Katya}} introducing themselves as progressively outlandish things, before stating the name of the show.
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''
** Yami Yugi saying something random that usually has nothing to do with the plot, a fly-by of fake cards, and a ColdOpening before the opening credits.
** TheStinger: after every episode it is usually a blank screen with a joke related to the episode or a SpoofAesop. Then there is a [[TheStinger stinger]] AFTER TheStinger.

They are: typing normally, typing in a very enthusiastic manner, leaning back on his chair, leaning forward towards the screen, typing with his fists, typing with just one finger, standing on his chair, and falling asleep on the keyboard.
