A subtrope of Meaningful Echo, the Gag Echo is a pretty common trope in fiction and although it's found in works outside the comedy genre, it's always Played for Laughs. The line of dialogue will often appear in the form of a Brick Joke, but it can pop up pretty soon after the first line. Usually the line will be repeated by another character and part of the fun comes from them not knowing someone else has already said the same thing. It can overlap with the Ironic Echo but differs from that since the Ironic Echo isn't usually played for comedy and the Gag Echo doesn't need the irony. May also overlap with Strange Minds Think Alike. Compare Ironic Echo Cut when something like this happens straight away as a cut to another scene. |

In The Dogfather, Harry Potter gets adopted by a muggle family after the Dursleys refuse to take him in. One day, a large black dog (actually Harry's godfather Sirius) follows him home and gets kept as the family pet. When Harry finds out his dog turns into a man at night, one of his first questions is, "Are you a werewolf?" Later he introduces Sirius to his muggle parents, and their first question is also, "Are you a werewolf?" | |

DEATH BATTLE!: The fight animation of "Deku vs. Asta" starts with contrasting Deku who analyzes how to beat his opponent and Asta who just tells himself that he "just gotta hit [Deku] really hard". As the fight reaches its climax, Deku ends up coming to the same conclusion on his own. | |

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Myne, the protagonist, is a modern-day bookworm who reincarnated as a poor girl in a world that is in its pre-printing press era and has a large price tag even on materials used to make books. As a result, books are luxury items that only the wealthiest can afford. Some time after having introduced cheaper to produce plant-based paper to her new world, Myne finds out someone she knows is to going to have a baby and decides to make a picture book for the child. The reactions of Myne's best friend who helped make her first batch of paper, the merchant selling said paper and Myne's mentor in a job she took for easy access to the town's only library to the notion of a picture book are all similarly bemused in the source material. In the anime's Compressed Adaptation, those reactions are all shown in a small montage that is followed by Myne internally reponding to her mentor's words with the feeling she's hearing an echo. | |

8 Simple Rules: The episode "Secrets" makes a Running Gag out of the family lying about who's on the phone, saying it's someone selling long distance. Then someone selling long distance actually calls. Also Rory gets punched in the face by a girl and lies, saying he walked into a locker. Principal Gibb gets punched by Jim and says he walked into a locker too. Another episode has Bridget suggesting that teachers and senior students get valet parking with the Driver's Ed students doing the parking. Later in the episode has Cate listing reasons to start working at the school and finishes off with "I heard a rumor they're going to get valet parking". |

Our Miss Brooks: A notable example occurs in the episode "Miss Brooks Writes About a Hobo." The titular hobo calls himself "The Earl of Peoria." Miss Brooks responds by asking "How is the Princess Margaret-Rose?" The hobo introduces himself to Mrs. Davis. Mrs. Davis inquires "How is the Princess Margaret Rose?" Walter Denton appears, again asking "Then how's the Princess Margaret Rose?" Finally, Mr. Conklin is introduced to the hobo. He asks "Then how's the Duke of Edinburgh?" Mr. Conklin laughs at his own joke. | |

The episode of Saved by the Bell where they find the school's old radio station gives us two. When the newspaper reviews the radio show Lisa worries "what if they don't like my outfits?" (despite being on the radio) and when she reads the review it says "Lisa is an entertaining reporter and a classy dresser". Slater is awful on the radio and the gang are wondering how they tell him and Screech suggests "wave a skunk in front of his nose". Guess what the review says about Slater. | |

Season 2 of Noob has Omega Zell discover that elite player Fantöm is helping his guildmate Gaea level up. He correctly guesses that Gaea is blackmailing Fantöm into it, but gets asked what kind of blackmail she could be using. Among several ideas, he suggests that Gaea could be keeping Fantöm's cat hostage. In the Noob: La Quête Légendaire movie, which is Season 7 of the webseries narrative-wise, Gaea is once again suspected to be blackmailing another elite player by keeping his cat hostage, by a random unnamed player. | |

Unlike most of the crew he's not given to spouting off Mandarin curses frequently, but he insists that he does swear "when its appropriate". Guess what Simon does upon seeing a statue of Jayne standing in the town square on Higgins' Moon. | |

Chapter 11 of Stand Still, Stay Silent shows that both Lalli and Emil hate Reynir's hair, but has their respective comments about in different scenes. They also both manage to make that comment in circumstances in which Reynir doesn't know about it: it was a dream version of Reynir admitting his hair to be "super dumb" for Lalli, and Emil said it to Reynir's face, but the Language Barrier got in the way of conveying the message correctly. | |

The Saved by the Bell: The New Class episode "Private Peterson" has this line: "I was born on a cold October day." Mr. Belding says this sentence earlier in the episode when Nicky expresses interest in becoming a school principal, leading to Mr. Belding taking Nicky into his office, which results in a Nap-Inducing Speak for Nicky. Near the end of the episode, Liz asks Mr. Belding how he became a principal, and Mr. Belding utters the sentence again while escorting Liz into his office, heavily implying that he would give her the same speech that he delivered to Nicky earlier. | |
