A Running Gag that involves repeating a funny-sounding phrase when least (or most) expected. Often lampshaded as an Overused Running Gag due to its randomness.
Unlike a Catchphrase, Gag Words are not associated with a character. Compared to Arc Words, they are less symbolic than just plain silly. More or less an element of Word-Salad Humor.

An episode of the US version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? had Colin yelling 'The cat!' or 'Meow!' at any moment when he couldn't think of anything else.

In one Calvin and Hobbes strip, Hobbes decides the word "smock" is fun to say and says it more and more until Calvin yells at him to stop.

"The Hawley-Smoot Tariff," from Dave Barry Slept Here: "Quite frankly we have no idea what this is, but we think it has a wonderful ring to it, and we just like to see it in large bold letters."
"Hawley Smoot" is also used as a gag phrase (including as an incantation) in Bored of the Rings.

Warhammer 40,000 sometimes runs into this with some of their Space Marines. Of particular infamy are the Space Wolves; in the 5th edition their wargear rules were littered with wolfclaws and fenrisian-pattern weapons, and their heroes were all part of the various wolf ranks of the Wolf Guard.

"Lemon curry?" in Episode 33 of Monty Python's Flying Circus.
Not to mention "Albatross!" from its titular episode.
And "Semprini", which for some reason is considered a swear word.

Marvel Comics mercenary Deadpool enjoyed using the words "Chimichanga" and "Duct Tape" during the "Cable/Deadpool" series. When asked why, he commented that they were funny words, like "Spatula, Rumsfield and Zygote."
