RunningGag
#110032
For me, there's a bit of a running gag that, depending on the moment can take on all kinds of emotions. That would be when I'm having trouble explaining myself (which happens alot, but this is a special kind) I'll just start to try to explain that my thoughts don't translate well to words which tends to also make little sense as I say it in half sentences, seemingly random words and lots of hand motions.
#110033
This Troper is famous in his school for several things that happened: Having a "civil" chat with a pervert over filming his lesbian friends making out, kissing a guy and not spitting, and walking into the girl's bathroom and not being kicked out with screams. We had an actual civil chat. Then there are the rumors... the prostitutes... the vicarious sex... the {{Ho Yay}}... yeah. Most of that is not true. Maybe.
#110034
I have a very short term memory. My friend Paul calls me on it all the time.
#110035
I have one with my friend. Every time I start speaking SesquipedalianLoquaciousness (or at least, most of the times I do) I catch myself and say "Oops, sorry... I'm just a nerthduh." Or something like that. I'm so nerdy I make fun of myself for it.
#110036
When my friend catches me speaking Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness, I will be reminded "Joe, long words." to which the reply is "Most people can deal with more than one syllable." to the point of it becoming a running gag.
#110037
This troperette has one RunningGag with her friend Kaycee. See, Kaycee has ADHD and I have this tendency to use SesquipedalianLoquaciousness for some emotions. So we'd combine our talents. Example: We were in class the other day being bored to death by the teacher. Then suddenly he asks both of us to stand up. Result: #QUOTE# Me: It is simple, sir, for you see-- #QUOTE# Kaycee: OMIGOD THE MAFIA IS COMING THEY WANNA KILL US ALL!! #QUOTE# Me: (faking agitation and using big words) That cannot be possible, Kaycee, for you see, we do not have organized crime in the Philippines, and even if the Mafia were here, I would doubt the plausibility of such a claim that they were targeting an institute of learning... #QUOTE# Kaycee: THE HITMEN ARE COMING! THE HITMEN ARE COMING! OOOOH IS THAT AN UZI?! By that point the class was in stitches. So was the teacher, before he gave us detention. Still, we're not stopping any time soon.
#110038
I have a few, including random tautology- "Right, see you later, guys, I'm off to" (for example) "eat food. With my MOUTH." Also, sudden and unexpected shouting, usually "For SCIENCE!"
#110039
This Tropette has two with her group of friends:
#110040
Whenever someone in our group pointed out how crazy we are, someone else (usually me) would say, "Did it take you that long to realize that?"
#110041
Sometimes, we'd have really dirty conversations. Then I'd say something even worse, and an awkward silence would ensue before I'd burst out laughing and claim I was only joking. It's difficult for them to tell if I actually am. For example: #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' Ew, how can you ScrewYourself? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' I can think of three different ways. #QUOTE# '''Friend:''' *extremely squicked reaction* #QUOTE# '''Me:''' Wahaha! I'm just joking!
#110042
Everybody ''FORGETTING'' I'm a girl. Every time I point out I'm the only girl in a group, SOMEBODY JUST HAS TO SAY, "You are?"
#110043
When I'm playing DragonQuestIX and find a lump of Densinium, I have the uncontrollable urge to mention that it's the DENSEST MINERAL KNOWN TO MAN. I still don't know why I do it.
#110044
This troper has a lot with her best friend. To name a few:
#110045
After seeing a film where an idiot told his girlfriend she "smelt nice, like cabbage", we went round randomly telling people that they "smelt like cabbage".
#110046
Telling people "we are Helga and Gertrude, ja. We are from Sweden, ja. We shop at Ikea, ja." in really bad accents.
#110047
Giving people code names like "penguin", "lunchbox", "lazy bear", "whooping wonder" or "the luggage". Also using things that cropped up in conversations years ago as code, like motorbike-riding, backward motorbike-riding, your smurf is showing etc...
#110048
Our many nicknames such as Grac-ie, Wod (wierd+odd=wod), Steve (I'm a girl), Ginger Geordie, the aformentioned Helga, me being her Mo-Fo, her being my main babe, Miss. Immature, Lunatic Blonde, etc
#110049
Also someone telling me I'm crazy/insane/silly/immature and me replying with "thank you".
#110050
I've had a running argument/gag with my wife for years now. I believe that monkeys, if they felt inclined to do so, should wear shoes. My wife disagrees, saying that because monkeys have opposable toes, shoes would ruin their ability to climb things. This has simplified itself into a process in which I will randomly say "monkey shoe" to her, causing her to become annoyed and retort, "no monkey shoe!" Sounds strange, but it's something that defines our relationship to the point where our two year old son has picked up on it.
#110051
That's adorable!
#110052
I hope I have a relationship that's that sickeningly sweet. You are officially my new favorite couple.
#110053
Whenever this troper's brother turns on a light, this troper has to turn it off. No exceptions. Also, at dinner, this troper is the one who turns off the kitchen light. Every. Night.
#110054
This troper's mother had put a reminder note on the refrigerator: "Run dishwasher." My father turned it into a parody by adding one word: "Run dishwasher, run." (Particularly funny given that my father is a {{Stoic}} whose sense of humor emerges only on rare occasions.) It became a RunningGag for years, and still pops up every now and again.
#110055
I have a rather painful running gag; in gym and the school sports I participate in, if I get hit, it will be in the head or face. This has been running since elementary school, and even followed me to school in a different country.
#110056
This troper has the same problem. I've been poked in the same eye many times, by the same person, in many different odd ways
#110057
Whenever someone in this Troper's group of friends says "Fuck you" or something similar, one of the female members of the group always yells "I WILL!". Even when they're talking to said female member of group.
#110058
That happens with This Troper's friends as well. Except, the typical reaction is "No thanks."
#110059
This Troper, has: Being hit in the nose (and I don't mean just being punched, at one point ''my wooden Katana'' fell on my nose), My sister constantly ignoring or forgetting what I'm talking about, my being woken up (This Troper is always very sleepy) by a friend, a friend constantly interpretting my sentences with Innuendos, my constant angsting, as well as LampshadeHanging the angst.
#110060
Whenever this tropers friend says something that I don't have an answer to, I like to reply with "You're China!" The best part? My friends always answers with "That's an outrageous accusation."
#110061
Another of our running gags is that whenever someone says something funny, one of us adds "Ba dum tss" at the end of it. Including the air-drums.
#110062
This Troper's friends have TONS of these. Most of which have been going on so long that we don't remember how it started, only that it's hilarious. The best are:
#110063
KKK. It started last Haloween when we were out trick-or-treating (sure, we may be too old for it, but it's still fun) and Andy noticed a ghost hanging in the tree. He pointed out that it looks more like a hanging Klansman. After an awkward silence, Hayley busted up laughing before asking, "What is ''wrong'' with you?" To this day, he still just randomly says "KKK" after a long silence just to make us all laugh.
#110064
"SEX!" after my former best friend (Don't ask. It's a long, painful story.) for whatever reason accidentally said the word a little too loudly in public.
#110065
This troper drinks a lot of Mountain Dew. Whenever people are over, we always have it. The only small problem is that someone always ends up knocking one over and spilling it, causing me to retort 'Why does that always happen?' I almost think they do it on purpose to keep the tradition going.
#110066
"Well, I'm not doing sober," is a gag amongst my friends, as is "I thought we agreed we'd do it for sex." Also, whenever I get distracted, someone will redirect me by saying "Firetruck." Quoting Left4Dead is near-constant, though it's not (always) a gag.
#110067
On skype this troper will occaisonally say HOLY SHIT SHINY PIDGEY SHITIHAVENOPOKEBALLS
#110068
Whenever correcting spelling mistakes, this troper invariably includes in the reason "Bad Spellign".
#110069
In a similar vein as some of the above examples, one running occurrence that's been taken in stride by my friends as a gag is me ''always'' getting hit in the right eye at sleepovers. It's been elbowed, poked, struck with the fist... always by clumsy accident, of course, usually when doing some mundane thing while reaching for glasses or adjusting blankets. We've just accepted it as a painful but still funny inevitability, because no matter how we try to avoid it, it still always happens.
#110070
One time long ago when my family were camping Mum and K████ were drinking some wine and I can't remember what exactly happened but it ended up with K████ saying "I'm not wine!" when she meant drunk. It is now a running gag for us to to switch drunk and wine around when talking.
#110071
This troper has...issues with water. He somehow managed to forget to swallow after drinking out of a glass then attempt to carry on a conversation, with obvious results, as well as somehow managing to drench himself by a pitifully failed attempt at dumping out a cup. This is, of course, mocked relentlessly. He has also adapted a tendency to say "and yes, I know you can interpret that as a gay joke" after about half of his sentences, due to an unrelenting barrage of said jokes by his cousin.
#110072
If asked how something is done and I have no idea, I always say "very carefully." The funny thing is people tend to respond to that like I said something that makes complete sense, whether they know the joke or not.
#110073
This troper has a few:
#110074
Whenever someone tells me about an event that is a little negative, I will always respond with "Oh dear". It's got to the point where if something really bad happens, I don't say it because it seems too frivolous. Similarly, whenever someone is explicitly to blame for something, no matter how trivial, I respond with "the BASTARD(S)!".
#110075
I usually replace "Why?" with "Any particular reason?"
#110076
Whenever something is described as crazy, someone will respond with "Not as crazy as Cal", after Cal's IM address crazycal.
#110077
All of the following are from one Maths class:
#110078
"Phil, eat your pen". Often when a question is asked, someone will suggest 7 as the answer. One time when the answer was obviously not 7, my friend Phil said that if the answer was 7, he'd eat his pen. Thus, whenever 7 appears as the actual answer to a question, one of us will say "Phil, eat your pen".
#110079
A question in a textbook read approximately like this: "A package is released on a slope. Find the acceleration of the car". Now, whenever a question doesn't make sense, someone says "Trick question. There is no car".
#110080
Our teacher, Mr Rigby, a rather well built man, has become something of a MemeticBadass at our college, and we have referred to him as both the {{Terminator}} and as a Transformer. This is not helped by a bus that frequently appears near the college that is run by a company called Rigby's, and that Riggers himself often appears at local bus stops out of nowhere to shoo away smokers. Clearly the man and the bus are one and the same.
#110081
This Troper doesn't do it intentionally but God probably does: when talking excitedly or nervously, she'll stop mid-sentence looking confused and say 'And... what was I saying again?' It's hilarious for her friends but not so for her...
#110082
Lessee, for Landscape plants, the running gag was how often I poked myself on plants with thorns. Typically, if any plant had thorns or spines, it was a guarantee I'd find a way to poke myself. It helps that I actually identified a plant this way (Japanese Barberry).
#110083
There's a running gag with my role playing group that at least once per town, for whatever reason, we end up setting a building on fire. Damn your usefulness and availability fire!
#110084
Whenever this troper is in her friend's mom's van, she'll ''always'' hit her head on the ceiling. This is a particularly painful example of a running gag amongst her and her friends.
#110085
This is possibly the most most common running gag in the world, but I thought I'd mention it. In school, a friend of mine (who is a christian) had a habit of annoying a girl called Stacy by singing the chorus of a song by Fountains of Wayne (do I need to put the title of the song down?), once (if I recall correctly) with a dance routine. Amusingly, Stacy is VERY busty, so it became a counter running gag for her to say something along the lines of, "I know you like me, James." I think he only stopped because it became very annoying to just about everyone, although it still occationally referenced.
#110086
Another one, this time from a (still in progress) performance of Godspell: in one song, it mentions placing a pebble in someone's shoe. Because the lyrics say that the singer shall call the pebble dare, it was a joke while she was learning to sing the song for it to be changed to Dave. Now, we have an actual pebble with Dave written on it and it has become a small joke for the pebble to be referenced in coversations. Somehow, I suspect the pebble will appear in the cast list...
#110087
Update: It didn't.
#110088
This troper has a running gag where he'll go, "Hang on a sec, I need to grab my X appreciation stick." With X being replaced with whatever group the person that has annoyed him belongs to. They usually shut up after that either getting the point or just being confused.
#110089
Heh, "Appreciation stick". That's comedy gold.
#110090
This troper and his friends have a running gag, that whenever he and the same 3 friends come round, they have to try and get one specific guy to choke whilst eating/drinking. Started 2 years ago at the troper's birthday do, and he managed to get one guy to choke 4 times in a row. The troper still holds the record.
#110091
Another one we have is when we airsoft - everyone has to shoot one person in the nads after an incident the first time they ever went airsofting.(Why yes, he and his friends do know they're all mean and evil...)
#110092
In this Troper's high school, when one of the teachers was talking about how morality had been interpreted different in other contexts, one of the classmates asked "What's morality?". Since then it became a running gag within our class to answer "Any questions?" with "Yes, what's morality?"
#110093
A running joke between this troper and a fellow (male) classmate that started as a joke about how this troper would take her prom date to a stakehouse before heading to dance, kids took this the other way and believed she was trying to ask him out to prom, and the discussion as evolved into the phrase "Stake Dinner" which she says to him whenever this troper wants to embrass/annoy him.
#110094
This Troper and her sister have many running gags which annoy their mother, who can never seem to catch on, to no end.
#110095
This troper's [=DnD=]-esque group has a running gag in that any time we enter any shop, we immediately kill the shopkeep, burn the whole place down, or both. Usually both. Made better when we are well aware that the shopkeep holds valuable information.
#110096
This Troper has a running gag with his girlfriend where he will say something mildly offensive or extremely hilarious, she will raise her hand to hit him, and he will high five her. Everybody laughs.
#110097
This Tropette's family always comments that her aunt's cooking is dry. Even when it is soup.
#110098
This troper and her friends always bursts out into a rousing chorus of Secret Lovers whenever any combination of two of us go off alone together or are missing from a group activity.
#110099
This troper's summer camp staffers had one: "Let's talk about bad decisions..." Used so often that it has become the (unofficial) camp slogan for the year.
#110100
I have ''many'' with my stepmother. The most common are...
#110101
A) She calls me for whatever reason, and the first thing I say is some variant of: "I didn't do it." or "It was already like that when I found it." and "You can't prove anything" with the most straight face I can muster.
#110102
B) She has a pet dog which she absolutely adores, and tends to give prickled fruit to it together with the normal rations. Since she doesn't want to waste, she gives me the remaining half of the fruit. Cue my outraged complaining: "What? I'm getting the ''dog's'' left overs, now!? What's next? You'll kick me out of my room and put it there!?". One time she responded to the later by whispering to her husband/my father "He's onto us!". Much laugh was had.
#110103
This Troper has at least two running gags in her life, neither of which are intentional:
#110104
One of her friends decided to jokingly refer to her as a freshman. This backfired when both the first friend ''and'' another friend both forgot that she was a sophomore. To this day she still catches ''herself'' thinking that she's a freshman.
#110105
Once, one of my guy friends asked a friend of mine if I had a crush on him. Ever since then, whenever someone has tried to guess who I ''do'' have a crush on (another guy friend for the record; he knows), their first guess is usually that particular friend. (Troper's little sister, who never even met the guy, actually claimed I was lying upon denying this.)
#110106
Two saturday per month, my gaming group and I play boardgames. In one of them I generally play the 'evil overlord' while the four others (as Heroes) team to beat me. So this troper began all this games by the following sentence : 'I'm wearing black to play this game because I will mourn you when you will be all dead.' ... Of course, I'm a ''limited wardrobe'' guy who always wear black ... As the months passed, the 'reason' why I'm wearing black began to change and became more and more ludicrous like : 'I'm wearing black to play because otherwise I would be naked.' or 'because my pink dress would deconcentrate you.'. After two years, it still didn't get old.
#110107
Neon Fuchsia!
#110108
This troper had many with her friends before she moved to a different school:
#110109
When one of my friends or I did something amazing we instantly named it 'Ninja skills' so one would say "Whoa! Awesome ninja skill!" and the other would usually reply "You WISH you had such awesome ninja skills". The best part? I started the whole.
#110110
A variation would be "Lucky! I wish I had such awesome skills' and the other would reply 'You WISH you had such awesome ninja skills'
#110111
And another one came after we watched a video about the French Revolution in History class. Ever since then, 'French People' was said in a funny voice randomly.
#110112
Quite a few here, including my ambigous gender, turning things pink in the chemistry lab, me walking into things, large plastic fish and coca cola bottles exploding over me. The last ones are the worst, since they are generally already open when they go.
#110113
This troper is writing a fanfic where a running gag is that one character always tries to eat his food before it's cool enough, and ends up burning his mouth and yelling something along the lines of "Ow!! HOT!!!" Ironically, it was never intended to be a running gag in the first place.
#110114
This troper frequently misspells "scientist" as "scientits" on instant messengers and forums; among many of his friends it is officially a running gag.
#110115
I WILL NEVER MENTION MY RUNNING GAG!! NEVER!!!!! Wait, I just did. I don't use it outside the internet, anyway.
#110116
this troper and his friends all have a running gag in his pokemon soul silver game in which he has a flaaffy he keeps unevolved. everyone talks about how "if she evolved shed destroy the world!" or "if you migrate her to black and white she will make the new pokemon extinct" heh who knew a pink sheep could be so powerful
#110117
This troper and the members of her church youth group have several. The most well-known (which has been adopted by other people, including in other ''states'') is to derail any awkward discussions with the query "So...who likes puppies?"
#110118
Every summer, this troper's family goes to Ohio to visit his father's relatives and parents. Now, during this vacation, there's a restaurant we like to go to called Bob Evans. Inevitably, the grandfather will call it "Robert Evans", ostensibly because, "we don't know him enough."
#110119
This troper has a few running gags going. *Whenever I hear something X I don't like has happened or will happen* "Life's not worth living anymore!" *Simulates gunshot suicide.* *When playing Bulletstorm and kicking an enemy*: "SPARTA!" "WAAAGH!" "Somebody hand me a/an x (usually a weapon)." "Squeal like a pig!" I also will drop anime, manga, and tropes into casual conversation and nobody seems to catch on. Today, I've used MahouSenseiNegima, MoreDakka, BrainBleach, XKCD, and face palm.
#110120
This troper has a few.
#110121
I have a friend that yells "FINLAND!" at me whenever the opportunity arises, causing me to reply with "SWEDEN!" Ironically, we're neither Finns nor Swedes.
#110122
According to my other friend, I have at least 5 fathers (One of whom is a woman, one is a god, and yet another is also my ''sister'' via extreme denial), the KKK are "racist ghosts", and I will eventually get cancer if I {{facepalm}} one too many times, if my SweetTooth doesn't kill me first. Note most of this randomness might have indirectly come from ''me''.
#110123
My friends even made up a ShowWithinAShow that's ''made'' of RunningGag, and our somewhat obnoxious GenkiGirl friend LockedOutOfTheLoop.
#110124
Once, me and a group of friends had to do projects where we chose finger foods for an after-school event. Well, one of these friends accidentally says 'fanger fooood'. Sadly, this friend moved away before it became much of a gag, but now, whenever somebody does something stupid (usually me), we say, "That's going in the 'Fanger Foooood' files."
#110125
This troper knowing this other troper for nigh 7 years now. They have alot of running gags and in-jokes. A gag can go on for about two years.
#110126
This troper's has a running joke regarding Taylor Swift and a boy who really doesn't like her. It sadly fell into the OverlyLongGag after a couple of months.
#110127
Every time there's a sub in my class,They always have no idea how to prononce my name. I alwayes answer them with this exchange: -> It's (full version of my name), but please, call me (shorted version of my name)
#110128
And also, everyone ALWAYS uses the wrong letter when pronocing the begining of by name, like e██, or n██, or c██
#110129
An accidental one: whenever this troper has a problem with saying something, he will usually speak gibberish for about a second or two before breathing deeply, apologising for what happened and then continuing as if there hadn't been a problem. Similarly, if I say a word wrong and someone tells me how it is really said, I will always say "Thank you" very politely before continuing with the correct pronunciation.
#110130
In this troper's sophomore year of high school, the band kids would usually mine blowing a poison dart at a fellow band kid, and someone else had to touch them in order for them to be able to move again.
#110131
For a long time, I would be standing somewhere, everyone wouldn't be paying any attention to me, probably cause of talking to another person, during which I would move elsewhere. When they finally notice me, they'd be startled and ask me, "How'd you get here?" I would always reply "I walked...".
#110132
Another one that occurred during a reading of Julius Caesar went like this. I was reading the script, saw the words, ''shout and flourish'' on the page, and did exactly that by sweeping my hand through the air and shouting, "Ha '''HA'''". Everyone started laughing, including the teacher, who explained to me that it was the '''audience''' who would do that, not me. Then she told me if she ever thought of someone doing a "shout and flourish", what I did was exactly what she'd think of. Since then, I would occasionally do that at the request of either my teacher or a friend of mine.
#110133
One more that I shall only have for a limited amount of time is that, during conversations with a friend, I will occasionally say "Ice cream Pokemon" at the end of my sentence, to which he replies, "That's gonna be so COOL!!!" I shall stop that once Pokemon Black and White come out. Possibly.
#110134
There are several running gags within my family and friends. Here's just a few, and unfortunately, I have to explain the jokes.
#110135
YET: This one arose when I was talking with my best friend. I can't remember the conversation, but it was something about making me his bitch. I accidentally said "I'm not your bitch, yet!" Then the word YET gained that meaning. This one ran out funny in high school, but occasionally it crops up again.
#110136
LIME POPSICLE: This one is a family gag. When my mother was pregnant for me, she was suddenly hit with a craving for lime popsicles in the middle of the night. My father and his best friend searched everywhere, and finally found this late-night convenience store that had them. When I got out of high school, lime popsicles became my TrademarkFavoriteFood. This one is more sentimental than funny.
#110137
SHOPPING CART: This one is for friends combined with a certain MemeticMutation. Whenever we see a shopping cart, we lose The Game.
#110138
This troper has way too many to count over her lifetime, but the most recent one she can think of is that whenever someone says something along the lines of "We have a long way to go" around my boyfriend and I, we both instantly burst out singing "It's A Long, Long Way To Ba Sing Se".
#110139
This troper established a little one when her friends came over for a Disney movie marathon by interjecting that a CrackPairing was her OTP with a perfectly straight face. Highlights include "Dinah/Figaro is my OTP," and "Jenny/Penny is my OTP." The marathon also inspired the gag that all dramatic wind in movies is actually Mufasa.
#110140
Back when this Troper was in primary school, There was a running gag that whenever me and a classmate would have a essay to write, We would kill each other in some particularly brutal way. It has been about 10 years since primary school so I don't remember that much about what we wrote but one that still sticks in my mind is having my friend impaled on the plates of a Stegosaurus in front of the whole school in an essay about having a pet dinosaur. This went on for about 6 months and since we got about 2 essays a week, our deaths came up alot. In fact at one point the teacher admited he looked forward to our essays just to see how we could off each that day and we had some of the most interesting stories he had seen in years. We had to stop after the principal found out and though we had gone too far with it.
#110141
When this troper was a freshman in high school, he and a buddy of his bent the back of a bus door by trying to shut it. Everyone let him live it down since he was the new kid, but they never really let the other guy live it down since he did stupid crap like that all the time, and brought it up every time something similar happened. This troper's siblings saying I like Justin Bieber when in reality I HAET HIM!
#110142
This troper, and later his work group, used a good one during a creative writing course. Every story or piece we wrote contained a reference to the "smooth, refreshing taste of Coca-Cola". At first it was used during an attempt to create a story so depressing it came all the way round and became funny, when I realised I actually needed to indicate that this wasn't sincere high-school emo writing. Making all stories as comically depressing as possible subsequently became another, more minor running gag.
#110143
This Troper's (rather long running now) roleplay group has several.
#110144
One main character is an alien who looks like a giant lizard. At least once a session, someone feels the need to point this out to him. Nearly every recurring NPC has gotten in on it. "You're a giant lizard" The character always responds with, "I'm a [alien species name]!"
#110145
One villain showed up in several of the first few plot arcs we've had. One character ALWAYS theorizes his involvement, no matter how long its been since his last appearance.
#110146
Whenever someone asks me where something is, the response will be "I ate it." And then my friend couldn't find his lunch..
#110147
Whenever This Troper runs into a Clefairy and has Hydreigon out, he tends to use Crunch on them.
#110148
A few from my family and friends.
#110149
"This is not gonna end right", which comes from my mom's reaction to the end of her favorite movie, WhereTheBoysAre (referring to getting raped, going catatonic and wandering into traffic).
#110150
"I'm not your mommy anymore!", from when a neighbor's kid had a tantrum across the street and started yelling this at his mother. A bit of pronoun confusion there.
#110151
"I'm Sean!" (said with DullSurprise), from when some friends and I MSTed Guyver 2: Dark Hero.
#110152
"Making ice" for farting, after my friend's father blamed our farting session (we were twelve) on the fridge's ice machine.

"Bizarro YakovSmirnov", my short-hand for DivideByZero. (Because honestly, what would that kind of grammar be like?)
#110154
"Orio" for the brand of cookie, after my father wrote it that way on a grocery list. He always insisted that he wrote "Oreo" and it came out looking wrong because of his terrible handwriting. Also, anytime the topic of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed came up, my dad (who was a dead ringer for KSM) would do his take on the "grumpy look with shirt being held out" picture.

This Troper LOVES these, and such has several running through her group of friends. The first relates to a ton of weed being found in a nearby Wal-Mart. Upon hearing about it, I (yeah, first person) renamed it Weed-Mart, and proclaimed we were going. Now any joke can be accompanied by "Yes, I DID GO TO WEED-MART WITHOUT YOU"

Quoting an abridged series. One of my friends and I can do this so well that now we're reenacting full episodes.
#110157
Squirrels. More importantly, how I am one.
#110158
Violating each other in different ways. I don't want to mention how many times my chest has been touched...
#110159
This troper has been the supplier of many RunningGags, to many of his friends and school mates. Many examples:
#110160
The Spirits Under The Floorboards. This troper just came up with it out of boredom, and now they're pretty darn popular in his school. He also gives some credit to them for writing ideas, but they're a purpose. (Hint: They're ghost writers.

If you ever go to the ChicagoTARDIS ''Series/DoctorWho'' convention, you WILL see me in my blue Tenth Doctor suit. It's sort of the running joke of the convention, though I wonder if people are getting tired of it.
#110163
I also have quite a few CatchPhrases, some of which are adapted from Craig Ferguson's routines. For example, now that I'm about to graduate from Chicago State University, I've made a point of saying "CSU Cares" when I make a joke about the school. CSU could also stand for "Crap-Sack University," y'know...'CSU Cares.'

This tropette has been mistaken for a boy many, many times. The fact that all my friends refer to me by the name of a male anime character... It's turned into a Running Gag for us, and now, on a regular basis I get "Hey, Ciel, what're ya doing in the girls' washroom?" and on the rare occasion I wear a skirt to school, "Damn, Ciel, are you crossdressing again?" I take it in stride. Also, one of my friend's AmbiguouslyGay little brother apparently intending to go to an all-boy's school always comes up in conversations when we're being silly.
#110165
My family has a running gag called "Rocks with Mud Sauce". Apparently, my parents were talking (before they married) and my dad commented 'I'm so hungry, I could eat ''rocks with mud sauce''." It mutated into a Running Gag still going on now.

This Tropette has a few:
#110167
My complete inability to throw.
#110168
My best friend and I popping each other.
#110169
My obsession with ghosts.
#110170
This Troper has a few:
#110171
When he sees a man running in traffic, he shouts "Run, running man, run!"
#110172
To appease someone he says "Ok".
#110173
He always asks for his favourite food for dinner, even though he can't possibly have it.
#110174
Watching Food Network when he can't eat.
#110175
This troper always dropped his pencils in his senior year. I always get called out for it.
#110176
This tropette always call her elder brother "BRRROOOOOOOOOOGear}} TTTHHHHHHHEEEEEERRRRR". After Running Gag}} a few times the brother responds with "SIIIIIISSSSTTTTTTTEEEEEERRR".
#110177
This one time on a road trip, my little brother and I saw a knot on a tree that looked like a platypus. He thought it looked like a fish. Now, at random times I'll yell "PLATYPUS!" and he'll yell "FISHY!". Then we argue about it for a while. Also, if I say "fishy" or he says "platypus" the other person wins the argument, even if it's completely out of context.
#110178
I'm writing a fan fiction where the main character, over time, gets very annoyed at someone's VerbalTic, running away from them when they start up.
#110179
I have a RunningGag in real life that started accidentally. I have a shirt with "Life's a Glitch" written on it. I wore it to school, and one of my classmates started saying "Life's a glitch, Troper" to me whenever he saw me. I later wore one with "Bazinga" written on it. The classmate combined these two. Now wheneve he sees me, he says "Life's a Bazinga, Troper".
#110180
When this tropette and her friends are in a large crowd one of us will scream, "LET ALL WHO HERE ME KNOW THAT I AM INCONPICUOUS!oops not any more."
#110181
Hi, I'm Phil Mickleson, pro baby eater. (After my mom said those commercials are creepy.)
#110182
This Troper's mother often says odd things or acts in hilarious ways often to describe something and often causes her kids and close friends to ask "how did that go again?" Made funnier when she forgets we often say that to tease her and she actually repeats what she did.
#110183
In the production of Twelfth Knight in the camp I'm in is doing, a running gag would be that everyone ALWAYS. FORGOT. THE PURSE. "For saying so, there's gold- I forgot the purse." "Hold sir, here's my- fuck." "My having is not much. Hold, here's half m- THE PURSE!!"
