* ''WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedComedyFandubSpoofSeriesShow'', also created by 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 DavidBowie' Bowie

->''"After seven seasons, we've said all there is to say in this spot."''

* Google Doodles: sometimes the Google logo changes to commemorate a certain day, like a birthday of an influential figure.

* For a while, the Australian printing of ''White Dwarf'' (Creator/GamesWorkshop's magazine) would finish the list of contributors on the first page with something odd, like "Sean Bean" or "that guy on [[VideoGame/SoldierOfFortune SOF 2]] who did not believe me". Sadly, this appears to have fallen by the wayside.

* The wiki signs: Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} was signs that tell users a page needs information, lacks it, is not objective, etc. Other wikis take advantage and use their themes in their pages. For example: in the Harry Potter wiki, they have "'Homenum Revelio!' [S]poilers will be present within the article. Please take care when reading this article if you do not wish to be spoiled." for spoiler alert.

* Google Doodles (or whatever they're called).

** Gonzo blowing a bugle at the end of the opening. The first season had Gonzo striking the "O" in the show's logo like a gong with humorous results.

* In a CouchGag that encompassed the entire work, the band Yes shot 17 versions of their video for 1983's "Leave It". The first featured the five band members standing side by side, singing the song, in black suits. The other 16 each incorporated some variation on this setup, often quite subtle (e.g. one band member wearing a different-colored tie), as a visual RunningGag.

* The opening sequence to the post-apocalyptic show Jericho always featured a telegraph beeping in the background. If one knew Morse code well enough, one could tell that each episode's plot was given away by the message ("There is a fire" the week half the town burns down, etc.).

* The late Music/WesleyWillis, an extremely prolific (and diagnosed schizophrenic) singer-songwriter, ended virtually every song he ever recorded with by first saying "Rock over London, rock on Chicago..." after which he would then spout a random commercial jingle or product slogan, which generally had nothing to do with the subject matter of the song.

Note that it need not be a "gag"; TV dramas such as ''MissionImpossible'' and ''JusticeLeagueUnlimited'' will sometimes have clips from later in the episode.

* In many newspaper comics, the title panel of Sunday strips are often different in some way. Some strips, such as ''{{ComicStrip/Foxtrot}}'', simply have the logo a different color. Others, such as ''{{ComicStrip/Garfield}}'', have an entirely different piece of artwork for each strip. It is often mandatory to waste the first panel on a couch gag for syndication, so that newspapers can cut them for space.

** This was done to an even greater extent earlier on in Wrestling/RingOfHonor, during Steve Corino's run in 2003. Prior to every match he would have personal ring announcer Bobby Cruise announce a ridiculously, painfully long list of something that usually served as a means of mocking his opponents. For example, when facing the notoriously straight-edge CM Punk, Corino's list consisted of famous wrestlers with histories with drugs and alcohol that Corino aspired to be like.

* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' has Gonzo's attempt to close the opening credits with a gong or trumpet (depending on the season), as well as StatlerAndWaldorf making a comment.
