*** The British product Sun-Pat Peanut Butter, in a real headscratcher, now says 'peanut spread' on the packaging, and in the description, says 'contains absolutely no butter'. You wonder if they are marketing themselves to aliens.

* This page is a self-explanatory page of redundancy. So if you look for an example of redundancy, this page is one!
* The results of [[http://www.google.com/custom?q=fanthorpe&hl=en=off&client=pub-6610802604051523&channel=3172138607&cof=FORID:13%3BAH:left%3BS:http://tvtropes.org%3BCX:trope%2520search%3BL:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lampshade_logo_blue.png%3BLH:50%3BLC:%230000ff%3BVLC:%23663399%3BDIV:%23336699%3B&cx=partner-pub-6610802604051523:2szln92pqym&adkw=AELymgUnGwt2eBsCJz1evgUgxL4qMpUuW7xAsJMPyfHrYNw9ugY-w2tI3GM4AHlzA7zjUZqXT1_i2Y5whtJI21SxPHRjEjX-_GBx5vixllbIUBsSrXu2vu0&boostcse=0&oe=ISO-8859-1&filter=0 this Google search]] of Wiki/TVTropes.
* Every now and again, some unsuspecting editor will add an example to a trope page without checking to see if that page contains an example from that series already. If it does (especially if the example itself is repeated), that page becomes an example of this trope, albeit usually only temporarily.\\\
Not just in posts, either: 1: go to the top of this page. 2: Click "go to watchlist" (need to be a known troper) [[ColonCancer 3:]] Look at the top. You should see a button that says "recently new."\\\
And then when people find out, instead of removing it, they tend to Administrivia/{{Natter}} on about it. Or they explain everything that was already stated a second time because they think the first guy got something wrong.\\\
I just move the two examples next to each other. Especially when the later one asks why this example hasn't been mentioned yet.\\\
The inverse also happens. On a page for a show, a trope with multiple names may be listed twice. For example, ever since they started calling it Hilarious in Hindsight, it's often seen on a page that also has Reverse Funny Aneurysm. Even worse when someone notices the Reverse Funny Aneurysm example and renames it without realizing there's already a Hilarious in Hindsight example.
* Some examples from OverlyLongGag also definitely qualify. And anything on BrokenRecord invokes this by default.
* Sometimes people PotHole a link to the page the link is on, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment thus]]. Presumably, they Cut N' Pasted the text from another page, and forgot to edit out the link.

This also shows up frequently with the misuse of acronyms, specifically when part of the acronym is used next to the acronym itself. TheOtherWiki knows this as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAS_syndrome RAS Syndrome]] ([[DontExplainTheJoke i.e. Redundant Acronym Syndrome syndrome]]).
