Do you mean a Sarcasm Failure sort of thing or throat infection/injury sort of thing?

That's The Speechless (which is for general physical inability to speak).

I think OP was asking if there was a trope about the smarmy, chatty character temporarily losing the ability to speak, and has to spend an episode without making jokes.

Isn't The Speechless about full-time mute characters?

Oo oo ah ah

Not necessarily, it has examples of temporarily mute characters. Dumb Struck doesn't work, because it's not physical, so - no more ideas from me.

ETA: Well, maybe Sick Episode, but this is very general.

There's Lost Voice Plot for when the plot revolves around any character losing their voice for one reason or another.

I'm just a psycho, babe! Come and go out my mind. I didn't lose it, babe! There wasn't much to find.

Okay, how did you find it? My searching technique can obviously use refining.
