* ''CourageTheCowardlyDog'':

* The [[StockScream Wilhelm scream]]. Look it up; you've Heard It A Million Times.

* ''{{Futurama}}'':

* ''CourageTheCowardlyDog'': Muriel: Two recordings of "Oh my!"; Eustace: "Stupid dog!", "BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!", "What's- huh?", various grumbles; Courage: "The things I do for love!", "Muriel, I'll save you!", babbling; All characters: screaming. Dr. Vindaloo: What is up with that?
** With the titular character, it's quite possible that Marty Grabstein did a -single recording session- and never stepped into the studio again. "Oh no!", his whining noise, his scream, the oddly low-pitched laugh, all sound the same each time you hear them. In fact it's more likely you will be surprised by hearing a -less often- used sound clip for Courage.
* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Ed: Gravy! Rolf: You crazy!, laughing Nazz: This ''is'' stupid. Kevin: Dorks! Jimmy: And it was such a cute squirrel, too. Ouch! Wah-ha-ha-haaaa (that whiny crying he does from time to time, such as getting hoodwinked by Eddy with "Smilyland" or after getting maimed by his own eyelash curler).
* [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes The Roadrunner's]] "Meep Meep".
** The practice is parodied in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' in the episode "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show", when one of the people working on the Itchy & Scratchy show claims that not only did Warners reuse a single "Meep Meep", they actually had the voice artist say "Meep" ''once'' and then doubled it up.
* ''{{Futurama}}'' uses the exact same scream every time Amy falls over.

* ''PhineasAndFerb'': Candace: several different screams, "Meep...". Perry: chattering. Isabella: "Whatcha doin'?". Bob Weber: "OK!"
* ''SpongebobSquarepants'' frequently has an off-screen guy shout "My leg!," usually as the series equivalent of ThatPoorCat.

* The [[StockScream Wilhelm scream]]. Look it up; you've [[SeenItAMillionTimes Heard It A Million Times]].

** With the titular character, it's quite possible that the voice actor did a -single recording session- and never stepped into the studio again. "Oh no!", his whining noise, his scream, the oddly low-pitched laugh, all sound the same each time you hear them. In fact it's more likely you will be surprised by hearing a -less often- used sound clip for Courage.

* ''CourageTheCowardlyDog'': Muriel: Two recordings of "Oh my!"; Eustace: "Stupid dog!", "BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA!", various grumbles; Courage: "The things I do for love!", "Muriel, I'll save you!", babbling; All characters: screaming. Dr. Vindaloo: What is up with that?

Wah-ha-ha-haaaa (that whiny crying he does from time to time, such as getting hoodwinked by Eddy with "Smilyland" or after getting maimed by his own eyelash curler).

Sometimes in cartoons, a character may say the same line over and over, with the same recording of the same line. There is a variation in which two characters may get into an argument (DuckSeasonRabbitSeason) and use the same sound clip. A subtrope of CatchPhrase and StockSoundEffect, and an audio variation on StockFootage. Also common in video games, where it usually becomes the MostAnnoyingSound.

* Inverted in a ''MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' sketch, where a vox pop interviewee (Eric Idle) is stuck in a rut (stuck in a rut, stuck in a rut). Instead of replaying the same dialogue over and over, Idle just repeats the phrase.

* [[LooneyTunes The Roadrunner's]] "Meep Meep".

* Lampshaded in the latter-day [[LooneyTunes Bugs Bunny]] cartoon ''Invasion of the Bunny Snatchers,'' where the badly drawn and animated alien dopplegangers of Daffy, Elmer and Sam constantly repeat (respectively) "You're despicable," "I'm hunting wabbits" and "Rackafrackin' varmint" ad nauseum. Bugs, collecting the lookalikes to get rid of them, calls them "broken records."

* Much of [[TomAndJerry Tom's]] screams and yelps are recycled throughout the many shorts he has appeared in.

* ''EdEddNEddy'': Ed: Gravy! Rolf: You crazy!, laughing Nazz: This ''is'' stupid. Kevin: Dorks!

* In an episode of ''AmericanDad'', Stan [[ItMakesSenseInContext accidentally discovers the joys of]] ADateWithRosiePalms while trying to treat [[GroinAttack an injury to his groin]]. The same ludicrously over-the-top scream is recycled every time he orgasms.

** The practice is parodied in ''TheSimpsons'' in the episode "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show", when one of the people working on the Itchy & Scratchy show claims that not only did Warners reuse a single "Meep Meep", they actually had the voice artist say "Meep" ''once'' and then doubled it up.

* Inverted in a MontyPython sketch, where a vox pop interviewee (Eric Idle) is stuck in a rut (stuck in a rut, stuck in a rut). Instead of replaying the same dialogue over and over, Idle just repeats the phrase.

* In the ''DoctorWho'' serial ''The Chase'' during the Daleks' fight with the Mechanoids all the lines spoken by the Daleks were from earlier in the serial (in fact mostly from their first scene in the first episode).

* [[TheLegendOfZelda Navi]]. "Hey! Hey! Listen!" [[StopHelpingMe Shut up, Navi]]!

* Where did YOU learn to fly? Where did YOU learn to fly? Where did YOU learn to fly? Where did YOU learn to fly? Where did YOU learn to fly? Where did YOU learn to fly? Where did YOU learn to fly?
