History Main / DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment

When listing things, a character will repeat an item. Might end with "Did I mention X already?" when making a list. Common ways for it to show up are a list going "A, B, C, B, D, B, E... and did I mention B?" and "[[Film/BlazingSaddles You said X twice]]." "[[SoGoodWeMentionedItTwice I like X]]." These occur frequently, especially when listing things.

* In the ''AudioDrama/BigFinishDoctorWho'' audio drama ''Omega'', the Doctor [[spoiler: (actually a copy of the Doctor's mind)]] gives one of his "small beautiful things" speeches where he says Sentia can still find happiness in our universe: "It's not such a bad old cosmos. Flowers, cups of tea, trees, mugs of tea, sunsets ... pots of tea. As you can see, I don't expect ''too'' much from this universe."

With some websites and occasionally in RealLife, the '''Department of Redundancy Department''' is referred to as an actual organization run by CaptainObvious with a side branch called the Branch of Awkward Wording (or, for bonus points, the Branch Of Awkward Wording Branch).

This also shows up frequently with the misuse of acronyms, specifically when part of the acronym is used next to the acronym itself.

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.\\\
