OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again, more often than not to the point of an Overly-Long Gag. Some of the more common reasons are a malfunctioning machine, an annoying child, or someone who is not right in the head. For some reason, these phrases are often victim of Memetic Mutation. Due to the advent of CD's, MP3's, and the like, which have largely supplanted actual records, this is something of a dead metaphor. For the self-demonstrating version, check out Broken Record All Blue Entry. For a literal version of this trope where audio is repeated due to broken machinery, see Repetitive Audio Glitch. If the physical record is literally broken into pieces, see Vinyl Shatters. Often used in some Voice Clip Songs. Compare Department of Redundancy Department, Madness Mantra, and Overly-Long Gag. Doubles with Isophagus if a person or animal has swallowed the glitchy bit of tech and it continues functioning (poorly) inside their guts. See also Welcome to Corneria, when video games create this effect by not giving NPCs enough original lines. Compare the Boléro Effect, when a piece of music repeats itself but also slowly builds in a long crescendo. Not to be confused with Record Needle Scratch, which is about the specific sound effect, nor with Guinness Episode, which is for a different type of "broken record". When someone speaks like that, it's One-Word Vocabulary. Annoyingly Repetitive Child is a subtrope. |

In the ninth chapter of Advice and Trust, Hikari explains what listening to Shinji and Asuka's thoughts when she was mind-linked with them was like. She tells that they sounded "like someone repeating 'Love Lust Joy Happiness Trust Comfort, Love Lust Joy Happiness Trust Comfort' over and over." | |

Melvina's Therapy has the curse affecting the people of Mornau. Once the curse starts to affect someone they will keep doing whatever it is they happen to be doing at the time, over and over again. If they are speaking they will repeat the same sentence constantly. One notable woman started repeating herself as she burned to death in a house fire and continued to scream even after she was dead. | |

In Alegría, the vocals of "Mirko" are almost entirely repetitions of the Cirquish chanting line "Êêêêêêê...... Rhiamveràhm!". "Cerceaux" likewise alternates between the repeating chants "Uma cosê rú" and "Mari marrari, mari mazô". | |

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Non-comedic example: the section of Asuka's dream sequence in the Director's Cut of Episode 22 that repeats six times in the English version. Almost enough to make you think your DVD is broken, but it is more the result of a borderline Dub-Induced Plot Hole. note In the original, it wasn't exactly that. The lines were indeed being repeated, but each time they were spoken by a different voice actress of the cast, resulting in "Asuka" sounding somewhat like (in order) Misato, Rei, Maya, Ritsuko, and Hikari. This added more meaning to her repeated statement of "This isn't the real me!" The dub apparently missed the memo on this, though, and instead had Tiffany Grant voice all the repetitions. Asuka also seems prone to this: her last words are "I'll kill you!" about a half-dozen times. | |

In The Truth, a broken Dis-organizer begins repeating "A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on." It eventually cuts out more and more of the phrase, finally going silent after "truth has got its boots on." |

Azumanga Daioh: In one strip, Yomi asks Tomo if she recorded a show like she asked her to, only for Tomo to casually admit that she forgot. Yomi calls herself an idiot for trusting Tomo, and Tomo responds by shouting back "idiot!" Tomo then proceeds to keep shouting "idiot!" over and over again, which freaks Yomi out and results in her clutching onto Tomo like she's malfunctioning; the strip is even titled "Broken VCR." During her New Year's Day 2000 dream, where she's exaggeratedly better than her classmates at everything, Tomo revels in the chance to be the Straight Man to Yomi for once and spends a solid 30 seconds bonking her on the head and asking "Why the heck?" on a loop. After Year 3's summer break, her last before graduation, Tomo comes to class painfully demotivated and repeating "today is the first day of summer vacation" to herself as a Madness Mantra. It doesn't take long before she gets Osaka to join her. During the class trip to Okinawa in Year 3, Osaka buys some sata andagi (a Chinese donut popular in the region) and repeatedly says "Sata andagi!" once her friends start asking about it. |

"Someday": Niccolo and Paul disparage the story-telling computer, talking about how crude and out-of-date the Bard is compared to newer designs. They try loading data about modern history, technology, and so forth to get it to tell more interesting stories, but to no avail. When the boys leave, the robot tells itself a story, with a strange amount of feeling, about a computer owned by "cruel step-people" and that someday--someday--someday-- In the art drawn for Infinity Science Fiction (and reused for the audiobook cover), the title is written over and over and over. |

The original SAO in Sword Art Online Abridged is littered with this kind of NPC, several of which Keita recruited into his guild to artificially inflate its ranks. The NPCs are as intelligent as you'd expect, which ultimately leads to the guild being destroyed. The only "members" remaining are Kirito (who was involuntarily recruited via Keita's charismatic hat), and Gary, whose only line is "We must save my family!"; the former identifies the latter via this line and "goes to say 'hi' to an old friend". | |

During the EM comet arc in the anime adaptation of Mega Man Star Force, Libra Scales says "hello" and "good morning" over and over again due to the comet's effect on him. He sometimes added the names of other characters to the latter phrase, such as "Good morning, Omega-Xis!" and "Good morning, Crown!" | |

The title of the light novel Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear. "Kuma" means "bear," so the fully-translated version is "Bear Bear Bear Bear." The original title is technically written "くまクマ熊ベア" which may not appear repetitive, but this is actually "Kuma" written three different ways (in hiragana, katakana, and kanji) followed by the English word "bear" (in kakatana). For one extra layer of redundancy, the author goes by "Kumanano" i.e. "Is that a bear?". The premise is that the protagonist gets sucked into a video game in which the most powerful item is a goofy bear costume. | |

The Comedy of Errors: Dromio of Ephesus repeats everything he said to his master (although unbeknownst to him it was his master's twin brother) back to Adriana and tells her after each quote that the master said "My gold." He does this four times in a row, with three lines in the same structure and a fourth broken up by a long self-quote by Dromio. | |

In Some Jerk with a Camera's ABC Goes To DisneyLAND video, when he talks about how The George Lopez Show's episode about Disneyland has an obvious bit of cross-promotion for the then-new Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror, he parodies this by having George Lopez get caught in an endless loop repeating "The New Twilight Zone Tower of Terror". Then Jerk-as-Rod Serling pops up to comment on it, before getting caught up in the same loop. This repeats two more times before Regular!Jerk manages to get them out of it. | |
