* In one ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' strip, Linus gives Lucy an award for being crabby for an entire year. He actually ''tracked her mood on a calendar every day for a year'' to ensure the award would be accurate.

First things first: I'm going to have this refrigerator start doing laps around the room.

Is that refrigerator still doing laps? Good, lets move on.

* Subverted in the page quote for JustForPun:

* [[https://www.deviantart.com/zarla/art/Next-to-the-sugared-figs-613965444 This]] Undertale fan comic has [[LazyBum Sans]] wait to run an errand for Papyrus to go to the store, all so he could say he didn't find what he wanted and brought him some [[IncrediblyLamePun "hot dates"]] to enjoy instead. After he bursts into laughter:

* Creator/AllanSherman's "One Hippopotami" (a parody of "What Kind Of Fool Am I?") is a long string of {{incredibly lame pun}}s involving singulars and plurals, all leading up to the lamest of them all in the last lyric.

** In "[[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S09E12TheScreamingSkull The Screaming Skull]]", Pearl, Brain Guy, and Bobo trick Mike and the bots into believing they've all previously agreed to meet dressed as penguins. They had to reserve the penguin costumes eight months in advance for $900 each.

* In one ''Webcomic/FullFrontalNerdity'' strip, Lewis complains that Comic Con has been cancelled, because he was going to volunteer. He planned to cosplay as Series/TheMandalorian and work the information booth. Frank comments that this is a lot of trouble to go to just for the sake of telling people asking for directions "[[CatchPhrase This is the way]]".

* ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'': While talking about experiences playing video games at cons, Creator/{{Egoraptor}} mentioned that he likes to parody new-age gamers by playing retro games, running through them terribly, and [[RageQuit rage-quitting]] the second he dies. However, once while playing the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'', he just ran through the game, unintentionally doing a perfect speedrun... And he didn't get hit ''until he reached the final level''. Whenever he did die fighting Bowser, he had already garnered a huge audience expecting this to be his original intention, but he just went with the original joke, throwing down the controlling and yelling "[[ItsEasySoItSucks THIS GAME]] ''[[ItsEasySoItSucks SUCKS!]]''" and left.
* {{LetsPlay/Chuggaaconroy}} specifically waited until episode 101 of his ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' LP to make a "Xenoblade 101" joke, as if he knew the LP would be that long or that he started the aftergame then.
