History Main / LongList

* From the WebVideo/StrawberryDragonProject, a list of the VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog franchise's numerous failings, which are not present in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4'':

* John Hodgeman promoted his book with a list of 500 plausible hobo names, recited for 54 minutes in total. Notable names included "Boxcar AldousHuxley", and "WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer". Best yet, this list was recited * live* at a college, with Music/JonathanCoulton (who also appears as a hobo name) strumming a guitar in accompaniment of the entirety of the list.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'':
** Ma gives her children a long list of chores before leaving for an inventor's convention in "The Terrible Teens".
** In "Ghosts In The Attic", Granny names her past boyfriends whose dolls will be burned in a voodoo ceremony. Some of these names return in "Granny's Twin Sister" when she forgives them on the internet.
** Grownboy gives Caprice a long list of chores for caring for his animals in "Disassister".
** In "Pity The Prize", Pa has a long list for the visiting weather reporter which includes a greeting and the tasks he wants accomplished with the guidance expected from her.
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewSchool'', Kronk gets himself crowned as Emperor and proves himself to be a terrible ruler. The others try to get him abdicate by giving him a long list of grievances (which Kuzco says to be the worst thing he had to deal with as emperor). Yzma takes the cake by offering an armful of scrolls, each of which is long enough to not only reach the outside of the palace, but across the roads beyond it.
* In one episode of ''Literature/SitioDoPicapauAmarelo'', Narizinho refuses to feed [[LazyBum Rabicó]] until he fulfills a promise he made to her earlier. He goes to Visconde, who refuses to help him until Rabicó fulfills a promise he made to him, then he gets the same thing from Pedrinho, so he goes to Emília, who presents him a sizable list of things he promised her. The four of them catch on to his attempts to get them to do the whole list for him and aren't happy.
* A rather saddening one in ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'': In "[[Recap/StevenUniverseFutureS1E14GrowingPains Growing Pains]]", Connie's mother suggests that Steven could [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome potentially be suffering from PTSD]] after seeing all the fractures in his X-ray that reveal to her that he's been through quite a lot of physical trauma. Steven starts out joking about his childish freak out in the first episode of the original series... before slowly listing some of the more dreadful things that had happened to him since, becoming more panicked as the list continues. He's cut off once he gets to the end of season one, but he continues to mentally go through the rest of the series for another minute.
-->'''Dr. Maheswaran:''' Do you remember anything in your childhood that particular stuck with you?\\
'''Steven:''' I guess... I kinda freaked out [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E1GemGlow when they cancelled my favorite ice cream]]. [[MoodWhiplash And then I got attacked by a giant bug monster]]. And [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E7BubbleBuddies I got trapped in a bubble and almost drowned]]. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E6CatFingers I lost control of my body and turned into a blob of cats]]. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E13SoManyBirthdays I almost turned so old I died]]. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E24AnIndirectKiss Amethyst almost died]]. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E16StevenTheSwordFighter Pearl DID die]]. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E48TheReturn Garnet got destabilized right in front of me]]. [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E49JailBreak I woke up with a black eye imprisoned on a spaceship]]--
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' episode "The Parasite" Gumball says he's made a list of pros to look at Anais' diary (which only has two examples), while his list of cons to look at Anais' diary stretches '''across the town'''.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/DanVs'' provides a hint of just how long Dan's EnemiesList is.
--> '''Dan:''' "Um, I don't have the whole list here... Most of my notebooks are in a storage facility in Sherman Oaks."
* The [[MilestoneCelebration 200th episode]] of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' ends with 200 clones of Roger representing his different personas appearing. They say their names, although only 43 are stated. Still a long list as it goes on for about a minute.
* WesternAnimation/TheHairBearBunch discover a missing treasure which they offer to give to Peevly in exchange for a laundry list of demands, which Hair Bear unravels on a long roll. The exchange is so that the city doesn't know of Peevly's windfall.
* In ''Literature/{{Babar}}'' episode 2 of season 4, Babar arranges for ice cream parlor owner Zephir to trade places with his advisors Pompadour and Cornelius. Pompadour eventually loses his temper having to repeatedly recite the full list of available flavours to Alexander, particularly after Alexander suggests that Zephir was much faster at it. Pompadour then proceeds to recite the list one more time, to state that all flavours except vanilla are ''not'' on it any longer.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePatrickStarShow'': In "[[Recap/ThePatrickStarShowS2E6TheCommodeEpisodeTyingTheKlopKnot Tying the Klop-Knot]]", Klopnodian weddings are so long that the full list of traditions can take weeks or even ''years'' to complete. Squidina manages to finish them all in one day before sundown. When the Klopguardians unspool the list of traditions, it's so long that it drops from the clipboard and rolls over Squidina's face.
* In WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty episode "The ABCs of Beth", Rick lists the many weird toys he made for Beth: ray guns, a whip that forces people to like you, invisibility cuffs, a parent trap, a lightning gun, a teddy bear with anatomically-correct innards, night-vision googly-eye glasses, sound-erasing sneakers, false fingerprints, fall-asleep darts, a lie-detecting doll, an indestructible baseball bat, a Taser shaped like a ladybug, a fake police badge, location-tracking stickers, rainbow-colored duct tape, mind-control hair clips, poison gum, and a pink sentient switchblade.

* In ''Barbarous: Tavern of Emyr'' Emyr tells Varizz that he needs "a few basic things" for the rescue mission he's undertaking, then unrolls a scroll which reaches the floor.

* In the ''WebAnimation/TerribleWritingAdvice'' episode on isekai stories, JP lists over a dozen alternatives to having the protagonist getting [[LookBothWays hit by a truck]] and waking up in the fantasy land. The last item involves getting stepped on by a dragon instead...[[DoubleSubversion while dodging an out-of-control truck]].

* [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0136.html Strip #136]] of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' paid {{homage}} to the Cheese Shop sketch, with Roy going into a polearm store to buy a new weapon. The strip is entitled "It's Not a Gaming Session Until Someone Quotes Creator/MontyPython". It's also a joke based on the fact that Gary Gygax included a large number of obscure and often redundant polearms into the rules of ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', most of which were retained in later editions.
** Obscure quote alert. It's just an indirect Monty Python reference and ''really'' comes from a parody weapons table in the magazine ''Magazine/SpaceGamer'' #74, which was also reprinted in one of the ''Murphy's Rules'' collections. This table specifically includes the "glaive-glaive-glaive-guisarme-glaive". Which makes it references to not one, but ''two'' Python sketches, ''each'' of which is a Long List gag - [[spoiler:the Cheese Shop and "Spam, spam, spam, eggs, bacon and spam"]] for those who didn't get it - for a double subversion, but not a DoubleSubversion. (Actually it references three since the cat drags in a dead parrot ''as well as'' a general nod to the references, in the form of a snake - presumably a python.) That this occurs is even [[LampshadeHanging commented upon]]: "I think you're drifting into another sketch, sir."
** ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' also has [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/543.html a table with a ridiculous list of polearms]], including the "Glaive-Glaive-Glaive-Guisarme-Glaive".
** The backcover of the printed prequel ''Start of Darkness'' shows a list of "26 Unpleasant Things That Happen (or Almost Happen) in this book" including [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Murder, Arson, Tampering with the Fabric of Reality and Taco Night]]
* ''Webcomic/MountainTime'' has a long list of immature names entered into The Oregon Trail for the sake of funny tombstones. Most of them, like [[http://mountaincomics.com/2009/09/22/mountain-time-100/ Hooteropolis: Where the Hooters Hoot]] never would have fit.

* Parodying ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'''s typical BagOfSpilling, ''Webcomic/MetroidThirdDerivative'' has [[http://bobandgeorge.com/comics/archives/metroid/Metroid005.png this]], complete with ShoutOut to Creator/MontyPython (''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'', in this case) along with a nod to an UrbanLegendOfZelda with the "wood beam".
* One strip of ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' had Hannelore sitting and listing in her mind all of the things she's currently worried about. It was later made into a T-shirt. The list gets smaller and smaller and eventually trails off behind her. Creator Jeph Jaques said that he got a headache writing it.
* ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'' has at one point a [[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/if-theres-one-thing-jared-is-competent-at-its-loving-mr-fish#comment-148736 list of things]] that Jared feeds [[MagikarpPower Mister Fish]]. Items of note include squirrels, lionfish, imported wagyu beef, Flintstones vitamin gummis, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick vagrants]].

* In one ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip, [[https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/02/02 Tycho works up the courage to upgrade to Windows Vista]].
-->'''Guy:''' There's like twenty one versions. You've got Ultimate, Business, Enterprise, Home Basic, Home ''Premium'', Chunky, Smoky Bacon, Chipotle, Moray Eel, Crispy, Cajun, Chewy Ranch, Italiano, Dalmatian, Jet Ski, Joy, Autumn, Kenny Loggins, Wolfman...But if you want all the features you'll have to get Emerald and Ruby.\\
'''Tycho:''' What version is that one over there?\\
'''Guy:''' [[BreadEggsMilkSquick AIDS]].\\
'''Tycho:''' Well, I don't want ''that'' one.\\
'''Guy:''' It's not exactly flying off the shelves.
* ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'': [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-882-the-slippery-arm-of-the-law/ 882]] has a list of preparations that goes on for two panels.
* ''Webcomic/CyanideAndHappiness'': [[https://explosm.net/comics/rob-doctorlist In this comic]], a guy is diagnosed with multiple diseases...and also he's deaf, so he only reacts when the doctor shows the list to him. [[https://youtu.be/xUlJ_6WHfh8 An animated short]] uses the same joke, but here the doctor ''sings'' the list.

* Website/TVTropes:
** This very wiki has a long list of [[AlliterativeName alliterative pages]], this very page included.
** Also, its example lists tend to be much longer than the page they are attached to.
*** There are even long lists in a ''single paragraph''. Trope pages like FantasyKitchenSink, LauncherOfAThousandShips, and RoguesGallery are especially prone. Some individual examples include ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'' under NewJobsAsThePlotDemands (regarding Dogbert) which has 44 listed in a row, ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' under MassiveNumberedSiblings (regarding Cletus Spuckler) which has ''46'' listed in a row, and Art under ArchivePanic, which lists '''173 artists in a row'''.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/c/TeamTripleJump TripleJump]] are fond of very encompassing lists. All games of a certain character (Franchise/{{Mario}}, ComicBook/{{Batman}}) or franchise (''Franchise/StarWars, WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''); every franchise by a certain developer; every playable character in a franchise; every video game movie; and every [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI-JPlKROUk console]]\[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCED9-WtnTE handheld]] from worst to best. There's also a series playing all launch games of a console, but only the Playstation 5 and the Xbox Series X warranted a ranking.

* The ''WebVideo/NintoasterInstructionalVideo'' requires the use of quite a bit of tools:
-->But before we start, here's a [[BlatantLies short list of parts]] that you're likely to need throughout the video: a Phillips head screwdriver; a soldering iron; a desoldering iron; some solder wick; solder; an X-Acto knife; pliers; wire strippers; a drill or similar rotary tool; a digital multimeter; varying lengths of test cable with alligator clip ends; a smaller screwdriver set; a hot glue gun; plenty of extra glue; a lighter, which may come in handy later; epoxy; [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment more epoxy]]; [[RuleOfThree more epoxy]]; a good set of drillbits will also come in handy; electrical tape; measuring tape; a pen; painter's tape; Q-tips; extra lengths of spare wiring; and personal fuel[[note]]a bottle of beer[[/note]].
* In ''WebVideo/MothersBasement''[='=]s ''WesternAnimation/HighGuardianSpice'' review, he suggests a hypothetical ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse''-loving tweenager would enjoy the show... if they've already seen ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'', ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'', ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Hilda}}'', ''Anime/MagicKnightRayearth'', ''WesternAnimation/BravestWarriors'', ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', ''WesternAnimation/KipoAndTheAgeOfWonderbeasts'', ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'', ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince'', ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', ''Anime/SailorMoon'', and every Creator/KunihikoIkuhara anime.
* In ''WebVideo/KyotoVideo''[='s=] review of ''Anime/OtakuNoVideo'', he lists subjects {{Otaku}} may be obsessed with: {{anime}}, {{manga}}, SciFi, {{fantasy}}, {{horror}}, guns, [[IdolSinger idol]], gunpla, figures, [[{{Tokusatsu}} toku]], martial arts, [[ProfessionalWrestling pro wrestling]], {{Hentai}}, {{Yuri}}, {{Yaoi}}, {{Cosplay}}, [[{{Doujinshi}} doujin]], Computers, Stereo, VideoGames, {{Visual Novel}}s, and anything else in the same orbit.

* In the first season finale of ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'', Foxxy Love lists off various reality show contestants who got deceived by the producers in the end before the housemates take matters into their own hands.
* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' had several songs that were long lists. One listed all of the countries in the world and the other was a list of all the US states and their capitals.
** Then there was Yakko singing "all the words in the English language," which takes this trope to an extreme.
** And "Video Revue", a pastiche of "midnight in the bookstore" cartoons like the Daffy Duck short "Book Revue", where the Warners leapt off an Animaniacs videotape box and ran around the store, singing about the movies they encountered while interacting with the cover art of the VHS boxes.
** Another ''Animaniacs'' short involves a rodent from the country trying to become a big name Hollywood actor. Anyone he didn't like was added to his "list of people I'd snub when I become rich and famous." By the end, it was quite a list.
* Cyborg from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' does this quite frequently and quickly.
-->'''Cyborg:''' Robin, whistling isn't like flying, or shooting lasers out of your eyes, or being super strong, or teleportation, or invulnerability, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment or flying, or shooting lasers out of your eyes, or being super strong, or teleportation, or invulnerability, or being super strong, or teleportation]]...\\
'''Cyborg:''' This is not about ''Series/TheATeam''... or ''Series/CharlesInCharge'', or ''Series/{{Webster}}'', or ''Series/SmallWonder'', or ''Series/SilverSpoons'', or ''{{Series/Out Of This World|1987}}'', or ''Series/MagnumPI'', or ''Series/{{MacGyver|1985}}'', or ''Series/PerfectStrangers'', or ''[[Series/TheFactsOfLife Facts of Life]]'', or ''Series/HappyDays'', or ''Series/WhosTheBoss'' or ''Series/HeadOfTheClass,'' or ''Series/TooCloseForComfort'', or ''Series/KnightRider'', or ''[[Series/TheDukesOfHazzard Dukes of Hazzard]]'', or ''[[Series/TheGreatestAmericanHero Greatest American Hero]]''...
* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'':
** Billy's Christmas list is for a peg leg, a 3-way radio, a shetland pony, an automatic shoe buffer, an eskimo, a baby antelope, ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} underpants, ringworm medication, a staple gun, robotic fingers, a fourth nipple, a condo in Miami, a monkey butler, and [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment a battery-powered battery charger]].
** His list of things that he's always wanted in "Billy Idiot" includes most of the above items and also an ingrown toenail remover, a [[Film/AChristmasStory Red Rider BB gun with a compass on the side]], wooden teeth, great chest hair, a hornless unicorn, a unibrow, a tiki mask, Santa's hat, a live-action dad, and laser sunglasses.
** In ''WesternAnimation/BillyAndMandysBigBoogeyAdventure'' Boogey lists off everyone, including himself, who has stolen Grim's scythe.
--->'''Boogey:''' Is it not true that not only was your scythe stolen by a headless man wearing a pumpkin on his neck, but was also taken by Billy, Mandy, Irwin, Billy's father, Billy's mother, Billy's cousin, Billy's cat, Dracula, General Skarr, Principal Goodvibes, Mrs. Claus, the Secret Snake Club, the Army, Scout Troop 701, the [[Series/LandOfTheLost1974 Sleestaks]], the President, the mailman, the Dingleschmidt sisters, the Boogeyman, a llama, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and a turkey salad sandwich...]] (ominously) hold the mayo?
* Done in ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'', where Professor Farnsworth names off thirteen prehistoric primates (mostly offscreen) during a debate on evolution with the Creationist Dr. Banjo.
-->'''Dr. Banjo:''' If your elitist East Coast evolution is real, why has no one found the missing link between modern humans and ancient apes?\\
'''Professor Farnsworth:''' We ''did'' find it! It's called ''Homo erectus''!\\
'''Dr. Banjo:''' Then you have proven my case, sir, for no one has found the link between apes and this ''Homo erectus''!\\
'''Professor Farnsworth:''' Yes, they have! It's called ''Homo habilis''!\\
'''Dr. Banjo:''' Aha! But no one has found the missing link between ape and this so-called ''Homo habilis''!\\
'''Professor Farnsworth:''' Yes, they have! It's called ''Australopithecus africanus''!\\
''(about fifteen minutes later, we see the Professor's list expanded to include ten more specimens)''\\
'''Dr. Banjo:''' Fair enough. But where, then, is the missing link between apes and this ''Darwinius masillae''? Answer me that, Professor!\\
'''Professor Farnsworth:''' Okay, granted, that one missing link is still missing...
** Subverted in "The Deep South", where Leela starts listing off all the different names for OceanMadness, only for the rest of the crew to turn around and leave the room while she's talking. She enters the next scene a few seconds later, looking annoyed.
--->'''Leela:''' It's ocean madness all right, the sailors call it "Aqua Dementia". The deep down crazies, the wet willies, the screaming moist...
* WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}} has a really, really long list describing what qualities a guy needs to impress a girl, which she reads to her male friends.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', Twilight Sparkle is quite fond of creating overly long checklists for whatever task she has to accomplish. She even has a checklist for making checklists, which includes ink, extra ink and extra extra ink. At one point she wonders why she keeps running out of materials to make a checklist all the time. ObsessedAreTheListMakers, indeed.
* ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'': According to Donald, Scrooge has a ton of "[[RoguesGallery sworn enemies]]", which is part of the reason why he didn't know Flintheart Glomgold was one of them.
--> '''Scrooge:''' Your new job is with ''my sworn enemy?!''\\
'''Donald:''' I can't keep track of ''ALL'' your sworn enemies!

* ''Series/SesameStreet'': Ernie once has an ice cream cone with virtually all of Baskinn-Robbins' 31 flavors, which he lists one by one.

* On ''Series/MyNameIsEarl'', Earl's ListOfTransgressions is over 300 items long, with more being added all the time. [[FridgeLogic Yet it somehow manages to fit on a single sheet of yellow legal paper.]]
** There's also a RecurringExtra named "Slow Roger," who has a habit of listing everything, much to the annoyance of Earl and others. He seems to have some kind of vaguely defined disorder.
* From ''Series/ShaunMicallefsMadAsHell'', after Tony Abbott called Opposition Leader Bill Shorten "the [[GodwinsLaw Doctor Goebbels of economic policy]]".
-->'''Shaun:''' I mean, for a start, it didn't make any sense, did it? I mean, Doctor Goebbels had nothing to do with economic policy. And if it didn't have to make any sense, there are plenty of other less offensive members of the medical profession Mr. Abbott could have likened Mr. Shorten to, which wouldn't have caused such a brouhaha, if you'll excuse my French. There's Film/DrStrangelove, [[UsefulNotes/HenryKissinger Dr. Kissinger]], Dr. Kervorkian, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawley_Harvey_Crippen Dr. Crippen]], [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde Dr. Jekyll]], Dr. Literature/{{Frankenstein}}, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geoffrey_Edelsten Dr. Edelsten]], [[Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes Dr. Zaius]], Creator/DrSeuss, [[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Dr. Lecter]], [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Kruszelnicki Dr. Karl]], [[Series/{{Neighbours}} Dr Karl]], [[ComicBook/DoctorOctopus Dr. Octavius]], Dr Pepper, Dr. Ming's Herbal Weight-Loss Tea and of course Series/DrQuinnMedicineWoman, to name but sixteen. Now, in a perfect world, of course, the reference could have made sense too, the name of the doctor reflecting, in some way, Labor's approach to handling the economy when they were in power. Literature/DoctorDolittle, perhaps.
* Subverted in ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'' where Boyle reveals that Jake owes him four thousand and nine dollars. A shocked Jake asks how, and Boyle produces a notepad and reads off $8.45 for lunch, $1.05 for a soda, and $4000 dollars for an entertainment system, at which point he stopped keeping track.
* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': At the start of "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS16E5 The Killings of Copenhagen]]", Sarah unfolds the instructions for assemble the crib; which just keeps unfolding till it reaches the floor.
* John Cleese's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_JUBgPHYmY&t=105s acceptance speech]] at the 1988 BAFTA Awards.
* ''Series/HankZipzer'': In "I Think I Broke My Dad", Emily is rehearsing her piece for the school talent show: a presentation on lizards that consists of nothing but a series of long lists of facts about lizards. These include the types of insects lizards eat, the types of spiders lizards, and the continents on which it is not too cold for lizards to live (Hint: it's every continent except Antarctica). Her mother Rosa's attempts to spice up the presentation backfire horribly.
-->'''Emily:''' Many lizards prey on insects such as ants. Or grasshoppers. Or flies. Or crickets. Or beetles. Or earwigs...\\
'''Hank:''' Yes, my sister is going to win over the audience with her amazing talents of boring people so badly that their brains just give up.\\
'''Emily:''' Or ladybirds. Or butterflies. Or termites. Or...
* ''Series/OddSquad'':
** In "Party of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1", Olive shows Otto a list of one hundred New Year's resolutions that she has to get done by midnight, with ninety of them crossed off. The list is so long that it manages to reach the floor.
** At the end of "Slides and Ladders", when Omelda is featured on Orchid's podcast, the Investigation agent asks her to name all 932-and-a-half floors of the van. She complies, and begins listing all of them off. When the episode ends, she's ''still'' listing all of them.
* ''Series/LoisAndClark'': In "Dead Lois Walking", Lois and Clark look into the number of people with a grudge against Lois to figure out who is framing her. Given that Lois is a determined reporter whose articles ruined or gotten a number of people imprisoned, the list quite long.

* "We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel is a list of people and things of historical importance from 1949 to 1989.

* John Hodgeman promoted his book with a list of 500 plausible hobo names, recited for 54 minutes in total. Notable names included "Boxcar AldousHuxley", and "WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer". Best yet, this list was recited * live* at a college, with Music/JonathanCoulton (who also appears as a hobo name) strumming a guitar in accompaniment of the entirety of the list.

* The cover of Music/AphexTwin's ''Music/{{Syro}}'' features a receipt listing every single expense that went into the album's creation and promotion and revealing how the album's RRP covers that cost. The list is so long that it unfolds around the CD/vinyl over several sides.

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* ''Film/MuppetTreasureIsland'' has the roll call scene, where Sam the Eagle/Mr. Arrow reads off a list of pirates, including "Old Tom", "Real Old Tom", "Dead Tom", "Clueless Morgan", "Headless Bill", and "Big Fat Ugly Bug-Faced Baby-Eating O'Brien".
* In an early sketch on ''Series/SesameStreet'', Ernie asks an ice cream vendor for a chocolate/strawberry/peach/vanilla/banana/pistachio/peppermint/lemon/orange/butterscotch ice cream cone (with both characters repeating the list of flavors [[OverlyLongGag several times]] each), but the vendor makes the mistake of filling the order backward. After Ernie complains, the vendor tells him to eat the stack-o-flavors "standing on his head".
[[/folder]]

* On ''Radio/APrairieHomeCompanion'', Garrison Keillor is font of including rapid-fire lists of celebrities, living and dead alike, in his skits. [[http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/programs/2009/12/19/scripts/noir.shtml An example is found here]]:

* We hear the tail-end of one of these in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers [[AudioAdaptation Sound Stage]] 03'' as [[DarkMagicalGirl Lutecia]] rattles off one name suggestion after another for the [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Unison Device]] they rescued before said Device finally settled on the last one.
--> '''Zest:''' So, you've finally decided on a name? \\
'''Lutecia:''' Yes... name no. 37, Agito.
* Early in ''Radio/JackFlanders in Dreams of Rio'', a mechanical voice starts listing all of the types of Coca-Cola available, while Jack is desperately attempting to extract himself from the transaction. The list keeps going even as the narrator is talking over the top of it.

** In ''Theatre/TheSorcerer'' Alexis greets John Wellington Wells with "Good day. I believe you are a sorcerer." Wells immediately rattles off a Long List of his company's magical products -- and ''then'' [[ListSong sings a song about them]].
** The ''Theatre/PiratesOfPenzance'' tune "I am the very Model of a [[MajorGeneralSong Modern Major-General]]" lists a large number of (trivial) things the Major-General knows, followed by a smaller list of (important) things he doesn't.
* In ''Theatre/{{Fangirls}}'', Edna lists (in song) all of the items she has in her backpack that will allow she and Harry to go on the run together.

* ''VideoGame/MegaRace'': In the intro to the Particle Accelerator level, Lance Boyle rattles off an alphabetically acrostical list of things that have been turned into psycho-mutants and "unleashed upon an unsuspecting world".
* One of [=GLaDOS=]' spheres in ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'' will recite a Long List consisting of a recipe for cake, which calls for some rather alarming ingredients:
-->One 18.25 ounce package chocolate cake mix, one can prepared coconut pecan frosting, 3/4 cup vegetable oil, four large eggs, one cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 3/4 cup butter or margarine, 1 and 2/3 cups granulated sugar, two cups all purpose flour.\\
Don't forget garnishes such as: fish-shaped crackers, fish-shaped candies, fish-shaped solid waste, fish-shaped dirt, fish-shaped ethyl benzene, pull-and-peel licorice, fish-shaped volatile organic compounds and [[ShapedLikeItself sediment shaped sediment]], candy coated peanut butter pieces shaped like fish, one cup lemon juice, alpha resins, unsaturated polyester resin, fiberglass surface resins, and volatile malted milk impoundments, nine large egg yolks, twelve medium geosynthetic membranes, one cup granulated sugar, an entry called 'How to Kill Someone with Your Bare Hands', two cups rhubarb sliced, 2/3 cup granulated rhubarb, one tablespoon all-purpose rhubarb, one teaspoon grated orange rhubarb, three tablespoons rhubarb [[IncendiaryExponent on fire]], one large rhubarb, one cross borehole electro-magnetic imaging rhubarb, two tablespoons rhubarb juice, adjustable aluminum head positioner, slaughter electric needle injector, cordless electric needle injector, injector needle driver, injector needle gun, cranial caps. And it contains proven preservatives, deep penetration agents, and gas and odor control chemicals that will deodorize and preserve putrid tissue.
* In the flash game ''African Detroit Cop'', the list of crimes committed by Eddie:

* The list of ingredients of Grog in ''VideoGame/TheSecretOfMonkeyIsland''. Then we have Guybrush's WantedPoster in ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland2LeChucksRevenge'', which lists ''everything'' he's done in the game so far. Yes, it gets updated as the player progresses.
** ''Monkey Island 2'': "If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear it, what colour is the tree?" The player can then spend around half an hour guessing colours, incorrectly, before exhausting the list.
** ''VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland'': "What kinds of snow cones do you sell?"
* In ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryIII'', if you ask the dog merchant about meat, he will run off [[TooMuchInformation several pages of types of meat]] he has available. (If you try to ask more about meat, the system replies, "On second thought, YouDontWantToKnow.")
* In the Warden's Keep DLC for ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', you find a list of the names of the Grey Wardens who died defending Soldier's Peak. It starts out like you'd expect, and then starts to get silly...
* In the final storyline mission of ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'', Claptrap is unable to follow the Vault Hunters to the final showdown with Handsome Jack and [[spoiler:the Eridian Warrior]] because [[CantUseStairs he can't climb the huge stairway leading to the final zone]], and goes into a rant about it:
-->'''Claptrap:''' Dammit, Jack! How did you know that stairs were my only weakness?! Next to electrocution, and explosions, and gunfire, rust, corrosion, being kicked a lot, viruses, being called bad names, falling from great heights, drowning, adult onset diabetes, being looked at funny, heart attacks, exposure to oxygen, being turned down by women, and pet allergens!

* ''VideoGame/SunsetOverdrive'': The last bit of fine print on the [[http://web.archive.org/web/20140508210731/http://www.overchargedrink.com http://www.overchargedrink.com]] website used to promote the game, is this long list of [=OverCharge=] Delirium XT [[SideEffectsInclude side-effects and issues]]:

Drink at your own risk. Love at your own risk.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Piranha Plant]]'s Guidance conversation has [[VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising Viridi]] listing different types of Piranha Plant:
-->'''Viridi:''' You got your basic Piranha Plants, your [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Fire Piranha Plants, Ptooies, Nipper Plants]], [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland Nipper Spores]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3 Munchers]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld Jumping Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/YoshisIsland Wild Ptooie Piranhas, Propeller Piranhas, Naval Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG Chewies, Megasmilax]], [[VideoGame/YoshisStory Piranha Pests, Piranha Sprouts]], [[VideoGame/PaperMario Frost Piranhas, Putrid Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine Proto Piranhas, Piranhabons]], [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga Piranha Beans, Mom Piranhas, Small Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime Elasto-Piranhas, Piranha Planets]], [[VideoGame/YoshisIslandDS Bungee Piranhas, Big Bungee Piranhas, Ghosts, Nipper Dandelions]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Spiny Piranhas, Dino Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/MinionQuestTheSearchForBowser Fire Stalking Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory Piranha Plorps]], [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii River Piranhas, Big Piranhas, Stalking Piranhas, Big Fire Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2 Prickly Piranhas, Peewee Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/SuperMario3DLand Inky Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros2 Gold Piranhas, Bone Piranhas, Big Bone Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU Piranha Pods]], [[VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld Piranha Creepers]], [[VideoGame/YoshisWoollyWorld Nipper Spore Patches]], [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam Paper Fire Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey Poison Piranhas, Big Poison Piranhas]], [[VideoGame/SuperMarioLand Upside-Down Piranhas]], [[Characters/SuperMarioBrosOtherHighRankingSubordinates Petey Piranha]], [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiPaperJam Paper Petey Piranha]], [[VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash Petea Piranha]]--\\

'''Pit:''' I guess that means I'm not getting any fighting tips. Thanks, Viridi.
* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'': If you buy one more newspaper after completing the Epilogue, you come across an article called "President Signs 1907 Immigration Act":
-->President Waxman signed an immigration act in order to prevent unsavory persons from entering the United States.\\
The new law, which went into effect immediately, excludes "All idiots, imbeciles, feebleminded persons, epileptics, insane persons, and persons who have been insane within five years previous; persons who have had two or more attacks of insanity at any time previously; paupers; persons likely to become a public charge; professional beggars; persons afflicted with tuberculosis or with a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease; persons not comprehended within any of the foregoing excluded classes who are found to be and are certified by the examining surgeon as being mentally or physically defective, such mental or physical defect being of a nature which may affect the ability of such alien to earn a living; persons who have been convicted of or admit having committed a felony or other crime or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; polygamists, or persons who admit their belief in the practice of polygamy, anarchists," from entering the United States.

* Daryl and Wayne from ''Series/{{Letterkenny}}'' make fun of a hipster looking to buy organic vegetables from them, mockingly offering him a wide variety of UmbrellaDrinks.
* ''Series/WheelOfFortune'': A mid-1980s episode had a contestant who – just before playing the Bonus Round – wanted to give a shout out to all his friends and family. The list was so long that he began before the commercial and finally ended when the show returned from the break. (Pat Sajak likely had a hand in doing this for comic effect.)
* ''Series/RedDwarf'':
** The trailer for Series 12 has profiles for each of the four Dwarfers. Under ''Aliases'' for Rimmer, as well as showing two historic examples -- "Goalpost Head" and "Trans-Am wheel arch nostrils" -- it also displays the exaggerated-but-somewhat-accurate "637 entries found", in large part thanks to Lister being TheNicknamer.
** In "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonIVWhiteHole White Hole]]", Kryten reactivates a Talkie Toaster whose reason d'etre is toasting bread products. Lister attempts to forestall its offers with this trope.
--->'''Lister:''' We don't like muffins around here. We want no muffins, no toast, no teacakes, no buns, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot-cross buns and definitely no smegging flapjacks.\\
'''Talkie Toaster:''' ...[[ComicallyMissingThePoint Aah, so you're a waffle man]]!

* ''Series/OurMissBrooks'': Usually when Mrs. Davis lists ingredients, i.e. "Model Teacher".
* In the episode "Even Hell has Two Bars" of ''Series/{{Selfie}}'' Henry says Eliza is most likely his plus one, as they were both invited to Saperstein's summer house for a possible promotion. Eliza takes great offense at this saying she's "VIP bitches", and rattles off a list of places she was not a plus one to-this goes on from their initial conversation at the office to when they pull up to the summer house, most likely at least one day later. Of course, it turns out she is in fact his plus one, but for a good reason (Saperstein knows Henry is better with Eliza around)
-->'''Eliza:''' Was I plus one at Adam Levine's Halloween party? At Avril Lavigne's Christmas party? At Sherri Shephard's purse party? At the grand reopening of the South Pasadena Victoria's Secret, which I didn't go to but to which I was invited and had I gone I would have received a free thong!? ''[cut to them in a buggy coming to the house]'' Was I plus one at Target's preferred shoppers Black Friday pre-sale? Hmm, was I plus one at Jennifer Meyer's irregular trunk sale? Was I plus one at Scott Disik's intervent--\\
'''Henry:''' Fine, Eliza, fine.\\
'''Eliza:''' The point is I receive plus ones, I do not be them.

* During the "Ice Cream Parlour" sketch on ''Series/TheTwoRonnies'', a customer (Ronnie Corbett) twice asks the clerk (Ronnie Barker) what flavors he has. The clerk rattles off a different list of two dozen or so flavors each time, some a lot more ridiculous that others. The Long List often figured in skits featuring Ronnie B.
* Doctor Cox in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'' is fond of reeling off long, fast lists of -- for example -- "things that he cares more about than the fact that it's J.D.'s last day as an intern", normally involving at least one insult to Hugh Jackman. Subverted in the season 6 finale -- he's barely started his rant when Dr. Kelso interrupts with "Funny, long list. We get it. You need a new thing, big guy."
* "The Menu Song" from ''Series/TheElectricCompany1971" (written by Music/TomLehrer) [[ListSong consists entirely of this]].
** The sketch about the "And Sandwich" includes a long list of ingredients.
* ''Series/SesameStreet'': Ernie once has an ice cream cone with virtually all of Baskinn-Robbins' 31 flavors, which he lists one by one.
* Adam Savage going through the steps of the ''Series/MythBusters'' [[RubeGoldbergDevice Christmas Rube Goldberg Machine]].

* On the one-off British drama ''The Missing Postman'', happens to one of the down-to-earth policemen. "Want a sandwich, sir? We've got 476 varieties..." (He offers a brief glance at the huge list on a board) "I'll have cheese".
* ''Series/{{Monk}}'': Adrian Monk has one of these for his myriad fears and phobias, meticulously arranged in numerical order; one of his BeleagueredAssistant's jobs is to maintain the list and add to it as new fears arise.
** In [[Recap/MonkS2E5MrMonkAndTheVeryVeryOldMan Mr. Monk And The Very, Very Old Man]]", Monk jumps onto a table after seeing a snake:
--->'''Stottlemeyer''': I thought you were afraid of heights.\\
'''Monk''': Snakes trump heights. It goes, "germs, needles, milk, death, snakes, heights, crowds, mushrooms, elevators..."\\
'''Stottlemeyer''': Okay, okay, [[TooMuchInformation I don't need the entire list]].
** In "[[Recap/MonkS5E12MrMonkIsAtYourService Mr. Monk Is At Your Service]]", Monk encounters his first frog and tells Natalie to add it to the list, below possums and soccer riots, but before hailstones.
** In "[[Recap/MonkS7E7MrMonksHundredthCase Mr. Monk's 100th Case]]":
--->'''Randy''': Fear of heights, fear of germs, spiders, milk...\\
'''Natalie''': Crowds, elevators, fire...\\
'''Randy''': Rabbits, tunnels, bridges...\\
'''Natalie''': Boats...\\
'''Randy''': Decaffinated coffee...\\
'''Natalie''': Lightning...\\
'''Stottlemeyer''': The wind, he's afraid of the wind...\\
'''Randy''': Egg whites...\\
'''Natalie''': Bad.\\
'''Randy''': Naked people. That one is way up there. I think it goes naked people, and then death.
** In the episode "[[Recap/MonkS5E14MrMonkVisitsAFarm Mr. Monk Visits a Farm]]", when Monk is confronted by [[spoiler:Jimmy Belmont]] and finds his fenced-off field, Monk rambles off a long list of nicknames for marijuana:
--->'''Adrian Monk:''' Okay, what's back there? Let me guess. Fields of reefer.\\
'''Jimmy Belmont:''' Fields of reefer? What kind of cop were you?\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' You know what I mean: Ditchweed. Boo. The old Ali Baba.\\
'''Jimmy Belmont:''' What makes you think that I'd actually--\\
'''Adrian Monk:''' Magic Dragon. Bambalachi. Yellow Submarine. Black Bart. Doctor Giggles. Kentucky Blue. You know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about Railroad Weed! That's right. The Devil's Parsley. Skunk, Splim, Splam, Mooster. Side Salad.
* ''Series/TheColbertReport'':
** During a Word segment, Colbert demanded (rhetorically), "[[WhatHaveYouDoneForMeLately What have unions ever done for us?]]" Instead of its usual single phrase, [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder the bullet point responded with a huge scrolling list.]]
** [[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/267053/march-09-2010/consumer-alert---pringles March 9, 2010, a twofer:]]
*** First, Stephen issues a rare Stephen Colbert Consumer Alert, because it has been found that two types of Pringles may contain salmonella contamination.
---->'''Stephen Colbert:''' Now don't worry, folks, it is not ''[pulls out Pringles cans as he mentions each flavor]'' Original flavor, or Sour Cream & Onion, or Barbecue, or Salt and Vinegar, or Ranch, or Bacon Ranch, or Multi-grain Ranch, or Multi-Grain Original, or Cheddar, or Multi-Cheddar Cheese, or Pizza, or Jalapeno, or Loaded Baked Potato, or Extreme Screamin' Dill Pickle, or Extreme Kickin' Cheddar, or Extreme Blasted Buffalo Wing. No, none of those. It's also not Reduced Fat Original, Reduced Fat Savory Cheddar, Reduced Fat Sweet Mesquite Barbecue, or Reduced Fat Tomato and Mozzarella. No, none of those, okay? It's also not Light Original, Light Sour Cream & Onion, or Light Barbecue, okay? No no, unfortunately, it's the two best flavors: Cheeseburger, which gives you all the enjoyment of a cheeseburger without the bother of cheese, or burger, okay? And: Taco Night.
*** Immediately followed by him rattling off the ingredients of Taco Night.
---->'''Stephen Colbert:''' I know, I know. Taco Night, which doesn't just deliver the flavor of a taco - hell, even a taco could do that - these capture the whole taco ''night''. It's right here in the ingredients. See, it has, um: whey, vegetable solids, sunflower oil, opening the refrigerator to find there's nothing else and deciding to make tacos, even though you made them two nights ago, cheddar cheese, multodextrin, salt, Alex, tell your sister to come downstairs, it's taco night, whaddaya mean, "She's at Brian's house"?, rice, flour, onion powder, no we can't eat in front of the TV, we're gonna dine as a family, dried tomato, malic acid, fine, if you don't wanna eat what's being served, everybody can fend for themselves and watch this family fall apart, but if anyone wants to join me, I'll be in the dining room enjoying tacos, disodium phosphates, paprika extract, take off that sombrero, Alex, I will not be mocked. Oh, and potatoes.
** The September 6, 2011 Cheating Death segment introduces Vaxamalgam, the one-pod-of-pills-fused-together-fits-all cure to insomnia, drowsiness, angina, eczema, dry mouth, damp mouth, constipation, diarrhea, night terrors, day terrors, brunch terrors, sore throat, deep throat, lockjaw, slackjaw, jabberjaw, nausea, rashes, heart arrhythmia, erectile dysfunction, blood in urine, urine in blood, shingles, cedar shake, aluminum siding, or whatever that yellow one does. Depending on what condition you have, Vaxamalgam will cure it... or cause it. Side effects include asperger helper, Jimmy-crack-corneas, and explosive diorama.
*** You also should not take it with milk... but that shouldn't be a problem, because it's a suppository. (Mind you, it's about the length and width of a standard TV remote, sooo...)
** August 16, 2010: [[http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/350618/august-16-2010/growing-intelligence-community---richard-clarke this segment on intelligence agencies in the United States]], with graphics appearing for each bureau Stephen mentions:
--->'''Stephen Colbert:''' Folks, these are dangerous times. That's why we need the CIA, the FBI, the NSA, the Department of Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnissance Office, the National Counterterrorism Center, the National Drug Intelligence Center, the Office of Intelligence Support, the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, the Information Security Oversight Office, and of course, the National Bureau of On-Screen Graphic Overload. ''[The seal of the On-Screen Graphic Overload bureau (an eagle with a color bar shield below a television showing static) appears in front of Stephen's face, the only space on the screen for a graphic to be added]''
** Both the real Creator/StephenColbert and the character are the youngest of eleven children, and he likes to rattle them off in order. Notably abbreviated in one episode when he commented on the studies showing that [[TomatoInTheMirror men with more older brothers are more likely to be gay]]: "Now, I have a few problems with this. Namely, Jimmy, Eddie, Billy, Tommy, Jay, Paul, and Peter."
* On ''Series/TheDailyShow'', at a time when the Bush administration was embroiled in a particularly high number of scandals, they did a little snippet before a commercial break of Scott [=McClellan=] saying the White House wouldn't comment on a situation, and asked a trivia question: Was he talking about A) Dick Cheney's hunting accident, B) the response to Hurricane Katrina, C) the Jack Abramoff scandal, or D) the Valerie Plame affair? ''({{Beat}})'' Or E) NSA wiretapping? Or F) Abu Ghraib? Or G) Guantanamo Bay? Or H) the Tom [=DeLay=] corruption scandal? ''([[OverlyLongGag After the commercial break]])'' Or Z) Oil industry subsidies? Or Alpha) NASA censorship? Or Beta) Politicization of Creator/{{PBS}}? Or Gamma) Halliburton no-bid contracts? Or Delta) Failure to find [=WMDs=] in Iraq?
** Another episode covered an event held in support of House Majority Leader Tom [=DeLay=] when he was being investigated for money laundering and other ethics violations (he was later convicted). They played clips of people making speeches about the media trying to dig up dirt on an innocent man, including a woman who [[WorstNewsJudgementEver complained that no one had reported that DeLay had sold his business as congressional ethics required when he was first elected]]. Jon Stewart replied, "You know, she's right -- you never hear about the laws Tom [=DeLay=] ''doesn't'' break," upon which a list scrolled over the screen including things like "cockfighting," "bribing a customs official," "murder in the first degree" and "murder in the third degree" [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial (conspicuously leaving out the second)]].
** When Donald Trump took Sarah Palin to Famiglia's Pizza, a chain restaurant that provides what Jon called "convenience pizza", Jon took Trump to task, [[http://thedailyshow.cc.com/videos/0ect4f/me-lover-s-pizza-with-crazy-broad rattling off a list of New York area pizzerias where he could have taken Palin.]] This was before Jon's reaction to seeing Trump [[BerserkButton eating pizza with a fork.]]
* ''Series/HaveIGotNewsForYou'' did something similar with a list of "Tory sleaze" scandals.
** And a list of [[PyrrhicVictory actions performed by Jeffrey Archer]] that might hinder him in becoming mayor of London when he was a candidate in 1998. "But apart from all that... he is a complete arse."

* The panel show ''Series/{{QI}}'' has a few examples of this when presenter Creator/StephenFry reels off a long list. Three that come to mind are things invented by the Scots, things invented by the Chinese, and various things that are made just from carbon, hyrdrogen and oxygen.
** He did an impressive off-the-cuff rendition of a story about the Duke of Devonshire's estate being inspected during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII to see if there was anyone working there who could be spared for the war effort.
--->And they said, "Well, Your Grace, we can understand that you need forty-seven gardeners and thirteen under-gardeners, and you need grooms, and you need chauffeurs, and you need upstairs maids and downstairs maids and in-between maids and laundry room maids and stillroom maids and kitchen maids and nursemaids and housemaids and parlor maids, and we can understand that you need the boy to scrape the knives and boots, and you need the butler and the four footmen and the under-butler... but we wonder if a man economy might be made. Does Your Grace necessarily need ''two'' pastry cooks?" To which he apparently replied, "Oh, damn it, can't a man have a biscuit?"
* In ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', Barney's list of the professions of the women he's slept with.
-->'''Barney:''' Lawyers, teachers, poets, doctors, professional equestrians, amateur equestrians... [Time passes, and the gang are halfway through dinner.] A butcher, a baker, a candlestick maker. Yes -- we're to the rhyming section, now. A math professor, a tax assessor, a weight guesser... [More time passes. Their dishes have been cleared.] A puppeteer, a blackjack dealer, a stay at home mom. That's a job too, guys. A circuit court j--
-->'''Robin:''' GET TO THE POINT.
** In another episode, a building inspector is checking out the house Ted's just bought, and lists off all the problems he's found with it so far:
--->'''Inspector:''' The black mold, the damaged retaining wall, the frayed electrical wires, the lead paint, the water damage, the fire damage, the sun damage, the broken furnace, the rotted floorboards - hey, look at that, no termites - the cracked chimney, the bats, the rats, the spiders, the raccoons, the hobo, the detached gutter, the outdated fusebox, and the paint job in the kitchen, which is fine, but the trim ''really'' clashes with the countertops.
---> (several minutes later, after the inspector has left): '''Marshall:''' Did he say a hobo!? '''
*** The Inspector then finds termites (after falling through the ceiling)
* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''
** Creator/SteveMartin's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPVuHP3OXk0 Christmas wish list]]", from a late-'80s episode.
** A 1st season show when Jill Clayburgh was host had a list of "People that dolphins are definitely smarter than".
** The monologue in Buck Henry's first episode featured a list of people who turned down hosting, such as The Two Stooges, Chastity Bono, and Gentle Ben. At the end, they show a list of people they're trying to host an episode, including members of the King family, The Chicago Seven, and Bert Parks.
** HappyFunBall's list of warnings.
** During Hillary Clinton's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAhF8tPqafQ talk with a member of the Electoral College]] she pulls out a list of reasons for not voting for Trump, with the last reason being "[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking He met with]] Music/KanyeWest [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking this week]]."
* From ''Series/NotTheNineOClockNews'', a man asks for a lager, and the barman asks "Any particular one, sir?". When he responds "What have you got?", the barman satirises the then-prevalent fashion for multiple foreign lagers by reciting a massive list, including Heinrichhimmlerken, Krooning Bug, and Everest, which is apparently "brewed by Jormans in the Hummerleers". Settling on the latter, he's asked "Tall glass, thin glass, schooner, vase, bowl, goblet or pipette?". Choosing just a pint, he's asked "Draught, sachet, can, bottle or aerosol?". When he asks for a packet of... the barman eagerly says "Crisps?", anticipating another possible massive list, but our hero wants pork scratchings. Not deterred, the barman offers "Pork scratchings, chicken itchings, doggie scabs, hedgehog stuffings..." until the time bell goes and he announces the bar is closed.
* This is one of Peter Serafinowicz's favourite kinds of humour. The long list of foods in the Butterfield Diet is the most well known, but there are loads of examples in his sketches.

* In a ''Series/MadTV1995'' sketch, one character enters a fast-food joint and orders "Two hamburgers with just pickles, two cheeseburgers with another cheeseburger, everything on 'em, four more hamburgers with everything, and a cheeseburger with no pickles and a cheeseburger with nothing BUT pickles. Two more hamburgers with everything but onions on one and everything but pickles, mustard, and tomatoes on the other. Three large fries, six medium fries, one large fry, a junior fry, and two junior fries. Three more cheeseburgers with extra cheese and bacon, two more junior fries and a hamburger with everything. Two more hamburgers with everything and two more hamburgers with everything. Four large cokes and a large sprite. Two large cokes and a small sprite. Five large cokes and one large coke and a small coke. Three small cokes and a small coke and a small coke." He and the employee then [[OverlyLongGag go back and forth repeating the same order.]]
** Also, the things Spishak Spishwax doesn't protect your car from:
---> Paint, tar, feathers, guano, shampoo, conditioner, wood stain, mahogany wood stain, eggs, scrambled eggs, Easter eggs, Easter rocks, baseball bats, bowling balls, chum, potted plants, Jewish wedding, cat litter, neighborhood kids, chicken and dumplings, Christmas decorations, cinder blocks, sledgehammers, sandwiches, did we mention baseball bats?, boat anchors and wrecking balls.
* In one of the ending sketches of ''Creator/StewartLee's Comedy Roadshow'' it has a man walking into an apple shop and asking if he can have an apple. "What kind of apple?" the shop owner asks; "Well what have you got?" leading to an extremely long list...that list gets repeated constantly throughout the sketch to the point where the customer is reciting the list along with the shopkeeper.
* Subverted in ''Series/TheITCrowd''. After Jen is promoted out of I.T., Roy and Moss retrieve an enormous-looking list of everything they've wanted to do when she's not around. (We only see the back of it.) A GoodTimesMontage (and ContrastMontage with Jen's less fun day) ensues, after which Roy laments that they've already done all eight things on the list.
* ''Series/DocMartin'':
** In the first episode Bert mentions that there's a few people Martin needs to see, and then proceeds to list practically everyone in the village.
** The list of medications Dr Dibbs prescribed for herself is insanely long.

* In ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', in Endless Eight, Kyon asks Yuki for information on the 15498 cycles. She promptly starts reciting data, but Kyon stops her before she sorts the variations in descending order.
-->''"In the last fifteen-thousand four hundred ninety-seven cycles, O-bon has been omitted twice. O-bon sans goldfish catching occurred a total of four hundred thirty-seven times. The city pool has been visited without fail as of this cycle. Part-time work has been conducted a total of nine-thousand twenty-five times with six variations in the nature of the work. Other than distributing balloons, there has also been stock loading, cash register, flyer distributions, call answering, as well as a model fashion show. There have been six-thousand eleven balloon distributions, with three hundred sixty overlaps in two or more variations. Repeated iterations sorted by order of combination are-"''
-->''"That's enough, you don't have to continue."''
* In the {{Novelization}} of the film ''The Shaggy D.A.'' the title character's son asks the ice cream man to list all the varieties he has available, then orders a vanilla ice cream sandwich. He does this ''every day''. The ice cream man is annoyed but used to it and starts the list as soon as he sees the kid, ending at about the same time the kid arrives at the ice cream truck.

* "A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." ''--[[Creator/RobertAHeinlein Lazarus Long]]''

* F Scott Fitzgerald was good at these, especially in ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby''.
* One of the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' prequel novels also contains a list of crimes, a few of which are [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking downright hilarious]].

* The very description of this trope mentions it involving a list off from a guy behind the counter. Something exactly of this sort happened to Bill Bryson in ''The Lost Continent'':
-->'''Mississippi waitress:''' "How about a piece o'Pah? We got blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, boysenberry, huckleberry, whortleberry, cherry berry, hair berry, Chuck Berry, Beri Beri and lemon."
* In ''Literature/TheLegacyOfTotalitarianismInATundra'', the novel starts with a long list of trigger warnings, including "Trigger Warnings".
* In ''Literature/TheLegendOfNightfall'', Nightfall is charged with "forty-seven acts of grand theft, nineteen murders, two counts of treason, one assault, and more than eight hundred and fifty misdemeanors. And that's just in Alyndar."
* ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'':
** A scene in the tenth book has a listing of a huge number of "ingredients" for an improvised glue-like substance.
** As well as the "Snow Scouts Alphabet Pledge", which parodies the Boy Scout Law, listing a quality for every letter of the alphabet, some of them contradictory and not all of them positive. One of the qualities listed is "xylophone" because the leader couldn't think of anything else starting with an X.
** In ''Literature/LemonySnicketTheUnauthorizedAutobiography'', there are plenty of them. Most notable is the one in a transcript of a VFD meeting spoken by a nine-year-old member.
** Also, the long list of (close to 20,000!) rules they had to follow at the Village of Fowl Devotees.
** Esme Squallor's personal library full of books cataloging what was in and out in various months, years, etc.

* ''Literature/HouseOfLeaves'' features some extremely long lists of references in its ''The Navidson Record'' parts. The various levels of fictional editors comment that the references are nonexistent or have nothing to do with what is being talked about, though some of them do contain codes and hidden messages.
** Almost [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]] in Footnote 144, which lists everything the House does NOT have. Since the House is [[NothingIsScarier nothingness]], this goes on and on and on and on.
** In Johnny's narrative there's the part where he lists [[ReallyGetsAround all the women Lude had had sex with]] in the month of November. This features 19 entries (but more women Lude had sex with, since it was arranged by day-of-the-month and included some threesomes and foursomes) and is presented very dryly, almost in a spreadsheet-like format.

* In "Blood Pact", the most recent Literature/GauntsGhosts novel, one of the blood pact members has taken a vow to say all the names of death. He's been saying them for years. [[spoiler:He never gets to finish, because one of the last names on the list is the person who kills him.]]
* In the ''Adventures of [=McBroom=]'' series by Creator/SidFleischman, rural patriarch Josh [=McBroom=] has eleven children, which he calls in rapidfire cadence thus: "[=WillJILLHesterCHESTERPeterPOLLYTimTOMMaryLARRYandlittleCLARINDA=]!"
* One common [[FunWithPalindromes palindrome]] joke is to augment the famous "A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" palindrome into a still-palindromic long list. The most famous example of this is probably:
-->''A man, a plan, a canoe, pasta, heros, rajahs, a coloratura, maps, snipe, percale, macaroni, a gag, a banana bag, a tan, a tag, a banana bag again (or a camel), a crepe, pins, Spam, a rut, a Rolo, cash, a jar, sore hats, a peon, a canal: Panama!''
* Creator/NealStephenson is quite good at these. The mission statement bit in ''Literature/{{Cryptonomicon}}'' and this gem from ''Literature/TheDiamondAge'':
-->''[=McWhorter=]'s Original Condiment was written large, ...\\
Water, blackstrap molasses, imported habanero peppers, salt, garlic, ginger, tomato puree, axle greese, real hickory smoke, snuff, butts of clove cigarettes, Guinness Stout fermentation dregs, uranium mill tailings, muffler cores, monosodium glutamate, nitrates, nitrites, nitrotes and nitrutes, nutrites, natrotes, powdered pork nose hairs, dynamite, activiated charcoal, match-heads, used pipe cleaners, tar, nicotine, single-malt whiskey, smoked beef lymph nodes, autumn leaves, red fuming nitric acid, bituminous coal, fallout, printer's ink, laundry starch, drain cleaner, blue chrysotile asbestos, carrageenan, BHA, BHT, and natural flavorings.''
* Francois Rabelais, 16th-century writer of the French renaissance, in chapter XXII of his satirical novel ''Gargantua'' lists more than 90 games the young Gargantua plays every day, while his 'education' is supervised by (incompetent, as you may infer) old-style clerical "sophisters".
* Israeli satirist Creator/EphraimKishon used this when he and his wife go to a supermarket the first time. They end up buying stuff for more than thousand pounds.
* Creator/JamesJoyce makes extensive use of extensive lists in ''Literature/FinnegansWake''.

* In Creator/GeorgeOrwell's essay "What is Fascism?", we have this passage:
-->It will be seen that, as used, the word "fascism" [[YouKeepUsingThatWord is almost entirely meaningless]]. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

* ''Literature/VillainsByNecessity'': When Kaylana first meets Sam and Arcie, on recognizing they're criminals she then lists every major crime, leaving them stunned before disabusing her of thinking they've committed them all.
* ''Literature/FengshenYanyi'': midway through the book, the hero Jiang Ziya is given by his master, the godly Yuanshi Tianzun, a list of the 365 notable people destinated to become new gods of various celestial tasks. And when he says 365 gods, it means that the penultimate chapter of the novel is entirely dedicated to Jiang Ziya setting up a ceremony to bestow the divine ranks to all 365 of them, giving each of them a title, a God Job and passing through some pretty long lists, including the many, many star gods, the 28 Mansions, the 36 Heavenly Stars and 72 Earthly Stars and more. The saving grace is while the earlier, more important gods get better descriptions, the later ones get a single line each to speed things up.

* Near the end of ''WesternAnimation/WereBackADinosaursStory'', Stubbs the Clown resigns from Prof. Screweyes' circus and hands in his props.

And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.

* In ''Film/{{Roxanne}}'', the prominent-nosed fire chief C.D. Bales gets into an altercation with a drunken lout who makes the mistake of calling him 'Big nose'. C.D. points out how absolutely pathetic and predictable it is to insult a big-nosed man by calling him 'big nose', and proceeds -- much to the amusement of and with a small amount of assistance from the people around him -- to demolish the lout by rattling off a lengthy list of twenty (twenty-five if you count them honestly) alternative nasal-themed insults the lout could have used to great effect had he possessed the wit and intelligence to actually think of them. And then proceeds to hit him.[[note]]This is based on a joke from ''Theatre/CyranoDeBergerac'' (detailed in the Theatre section below).[[/note]]

Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

That gives us a radius of six miles. What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area. Checkpoints go up at fifteen miles. Your fugitive's name is Dr. Richard Kimble. Go get him."

* In ''Film/TheDeathOfStalin'', Vasily plans to make a speech at his father's funeral.

* Creator/StewartLee uses this to satirise the theory of the Loch Ness Monster being a dinosaur.

Now I don't know anything about zoology, biology, geology, geography, marine biology, cryptozoology, evolutionary theory, evolutionary biology, meteorology, limnology, history, herpetology, paleontology, or archaeology... but I think... What if a dinosaur got in the lake?"
