Why no super trope examples? The Monthy Python sketch about The Funniest Joke In The World instantly comes to mind. While the various subtropes might be more common, that particular sketch is a unique combination of Orphaned Setup, Orphaned Punchline and You Do NOT Want To Know.

Similarly, the movie Pootie Tang does yet another variation with his hit single, which consists of (and whose title is pronounced as) pure silence (barring epileptic tree explanations involving ultra/infra sound or straight up magic), yet is considered extremely catchy and even causes people to dance uncontrollably.

These two are just from the top of my head, but I know I've seen countless examples that border on Noodle Incident, where characters are shown laughing at something that the viewers don't get to see or hear.

Also, Noodle Incident type names that are funny because the viewers don't get the backstory seem to be this super trope.
