* The "Gimlet" joke that is re-used throughout many of the ''{{Discworld}}'' novels: it related to a Dwarf with the capacity to really hold your gaze.
** JRR Tolkein's wise words on dwarfs in ''LordOfTheRings'' also take a repeated hammering. The original Gimli's assertion that there such things as female Dwarfs, only "they are in look and garb so alike to the males that the eyes of Man cannot tell them apart" spawns several books' worth of ShoutOuts to dwarfs who favour chain-mail lingerie and take more care with grooming their beards. A Dwarf schoolgirl is allowed into a prestigious boarding school, but must plait her beard with ribbons in the school colours. Then there is Dwarf feminist Cheery Littlebottom, who rebels against all that but cannot bring herself to shave her beard off.

** Since [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff Spaniards Love Mazinger-Z]], the Spanish DubNameChange variant ("¡Puños Fuera!", meaning "Fists Out!") has become so omnipresent that it has been used in movie titles. And when a foreign work features a RocketPunch, whatever attack name that the character screams is automatically replaced by "¡Puños Fuera!" more often than not.
