** Later in the same episode, Marge starts filling out a racing form. Lisa suggests that Marge might be developing a gambling problem, a nod to Marge getting hooked on slot machines in "$pringfield; or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling". Cue Comic Book Guy: "Hey! I'm watching you."
** Similarly, during Apu's wedding Bart wistfully watches the trained elephant and wishes that he had one as a pet. Lisa reminds him that this already happened.

* Invoked in the ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' episode ''Bismuth'', where the titular character uses her name as a pun twice. Steven complains about the trope, and Bismuth comments that maybe it will be funny again the third time. [[spoiler: It ''really'' isn't.]]

->'''Ozzy''': These filmmakers are just ''[bleep]'' boobs!
->'''Kelly''': What do you mean, Dad?
->'''Ozzy''': Well, they're usin' the same ''[bleep]'' jokes they did in the last ''Austin Powers'' movie.

* In the ''Webcomic/OrderOfTheStick'' strip "[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1077.html All Clear]]", when Roy says he's dropped his sword off the airship, and Belkar is complaining this ''always'' happens, Blackwing comments that this is why he relies on his own talons. In [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1078.html the next strip]], Belkar says he's going to feed Mr Scruffy, and adds "At least he can't drop his claws over the side."

* In one episode of "''WesternAnimation/TazMania'', Wendell T. Wolf protests that Taz is only supposed to do one "What for you..." gag per episode.

* ''Film/AustinPowersInGoldmember'' features a rehash of a joke from ''Film/AustinPowersTheSpyWhoShaggedMe'' consisting of a hurricane of {{Last Second Word Swap}}s. On the third cut, it swaps to Ozzy Osbourne complaining about the filmmakers reusing the joke.

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', they build a rollercoaster. Except this time, it's [[MusicalEpisode A MUSICAL]]! The trope title is practically quoted verbatim.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}},'' the fallen human is repeatedly besieged with puzzles by Papyrus, one of which being the "dastardly coloured tile maze". This puzzle is completely "randomly" generated, and after a very lengthy explanation of its rules is laughably easy to solve. Much later in the game, Mettaton re-uses the same puzzle albeit far more difficult, remarking that they had seen this kind of puzzle "about a hundred rooms ago" and as such refuses to explain the rules again.

---> '''Jonah:''' Has anyone said "[[Film/Eegah Watch out]] [[CallBack for snakes" yet?]]

* A WaynesWorld sketch on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'':

-->'''Potts:''' How was Africa, dad.
-->'''Grandpa:''' Not bad. I bagged an elephant in my pajamas.
-->'''Everyone''' ''(In unison)'': How the elephant got into my pajamas I will never know!
-->'''Grandpa:''' [[ShoutOut Oh, you've]] [[Creator/TheMarxBrothers heard it before.]]

-->'''Interviewer''': Didn't we just do this already?
-->'''Arthur Frampton:''' Yes.
-->'''Interviewer:''' Why didn't you say so?
-->'''Frampton:''' I thought it was the continental version.

-->'''Cat''': So, what is it?
-->'''Lister''': Oh, someone punch him out!

--> The Author: "The horror of multiple negatives comes in PACKAGES?!"
--> Orange Author: "We didn't not already use that joke."

-->'''Stewie:''' I'm not going to no Jewish school! Sitting around all day with a bunch of short, hairy guys. I'll feel like I'm on the forest moon of Endor.
-->'''Chris:''' Didn't you make that joke the other day?

-->'''Marge:''' Hmmm. Should the Simpsons get a horse?
-->'''Comic Book Guy:''' Excuse me, I believe this family already had a horse, and the expense forced Homer to work at the Kwik-E-Mart, with [[HilarityEnsues hilarious consequences]].
-->'''Homer:''' [pause] Anybody care what this guy thinks?
-->'''Crowd:''' No!

-->'''Plucky Duck''': It can't be! We did that gag already!
-->'''Sweetie Pie''': What?! You're going to bring up redundancy ''now''?!

-->'''DM:''' What's that noise?
-->'''Penfold:''' It sounds like a block of flats.
-->'''DM:''' "Block of flats"?
-->'''Penfold:''' Er, a flock of bats.
-->'''DM:''' Your imagination's running away again, Penfold.
-->'''Penfold:''' So's that joke. It's the second time around.
-->(''Later, after confronting Duckula'')
-->'''Duckula:''' You will be surrounded by a swarming b-b-block of flats! He He He!
-->'''DM:''' We've done that one.
-->'''Penfold:''' Twice.
-->'''Duckula:''' (''disappointed'') Curses, foiled again.

* In ''SuperMarioBrosZ'', an 'Over 9000' joke was made twice, and the perpetrating character was called out on it.

* In Machinima/RedVsBlue, Sarge first builds a robot (Lopez), then turns Simmons into a cyborg, then uses Simmons' leftover parts to save Grif after he's hit by the tank, then builds two robot bodies for Church and Tex (who are "ghosts") to inhabit. Unfortunately, by the time Tucker is half-blown up by a rocket, Sarge can't build Tucker a new body because, as Donut explains, they're out of parts because they overused that joke.

* There's a couple of instances of this on ''SayonaraZetsubouSensei''. For example, Nozomu brings up the topic of ignoring distressing things around you. Chiri says something to the effect of the show already doing this joke. Nozomu quips, "Ignoring that."

-->'''Grandpa:''' [[ShoutOut Oh, you've]] [[TheMarxBrothers heard it before.]]

* ''{{Animorphs}}'': "If a seagull eats fried chicken, is that like cannibalism or something?" "Haven't we had this conversation before?"

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Mr. Burns plans to seal all of Springfield in a dome, until Lenny mentions that it's been done (specifically in TheMovie).

-->''WintersBone! [[HehHehYouSaidX This joke]] has been done three times.''
