Fact: Whether by pronunciation, spelling, or use, some words are just plain funny to certain characters. Warning: Do not use any of these words to try to make an unfunny sentence funny. Tends to overlap with I Just Like Saying the Word, as in the case of the page image. See also Narm, which can happen when these words crop up in inherently unfunny contexts. Also see Flowery Insults when used in an abusive manner. Also compare Heh Heh, You Said "X", and LOL, 69 and 420, Blaze It for specific inherently funny numbers. For a different sort of inherently funny wording, check Tongue Twister. Want to have some fun sharing your favorite ones? Take a gander over at the Just-For-Fun page! |

On the fifth night of Five Nights at Freddy's: Sister Location, your Mission Control asks you to type in what kind of gift basket you'd like to be given at the end of your first week, at which point the Running Gag of the glitchy console auto-correcting your responses in absurd ways gives you "Exotic Butters". The hidden ending features a basket full of sticks of butter in the background, one of which has a gift bow on it, and you gain an option in the extras menu of a picture of that basket of butter which, when clicked, just repeatedly says "Exotic butters". | |

In YouTube Poops, one popular practice is to play a short part of an audio clip forwards, then play the same part in reverse. (For example, "something" would become "sus"). This is known as a "sauce joke". "Watch me SWOOCE right in!" One Noisepuppet poop has a field day with the word "squelch" (a noise reduction technique) in an ad for a CB radio system . |

Whose Line Is It Anyway?: The word "ocelot", according to Greg Proops. There was one session of Scenes From a Hat, when the suggestion "Cities that shouldn't have a song about them" came up: Another Scenes from a Hat had the suggestion, "Words that make immature people giggle". Including Regina, Pumpernickel, and White. One of Colin's feghoots on "Weird Newscasters" was simply: "NASA sends probe to Uranus. People everywhere giggle." |

Borderlands 2 has a side-quest, "The Name Game", where Sir Hammerlock tries to come up with a new name for the ape-like Bullymongs. After his first two ideas are rejected, he gets frustrated and starts calling them "Bonerfarts". This leads to the Bullymongs being labelled as "Bonerfarts" for the remainder of the quest, including the young Monglets being called Bonertoots. It lasts the rest of the game if you choose to stop advancing the quest at that point. |

Garfield: Abu Dhabi, hence its abuse in the comics. Jim Davis has also said he's a sucker for anything with a "k" sound. "Cabbage? Funny. Lettuce? Not funny." This line has also been said in a strip and in an episode of Garfield and Friends. Also, Garfield likes take-out Chinese food (like egg-foo-young and moo-goo-gai-pan) because "it's as much fun to say as it is to eat". |

Jack Stauber's short animation "peenids" features a young girl going to a library in an attempt to find a book on swear words (so she knows which ones she shouldn't say). When asked which words she knows so far, she responds with sucks, crap, and... peenids, much to the confusion of the librarian. | |

Freakazoid!: "Sewer Or Later" seems to have been an excuse to use the phrase "poo-gas" as much as possible. "A Matter of Love" was dedicated to (among others) "Mrs. Ashley Huggbees of Fuller's Earth, AZ", because they really liked saying her last name, which became a Running Gag throughout the cartoon. "HUGGBEES!" |

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert: During the first impeachment trial of then-President Donald Trump, Chief Justice John Roberts, while chastising a senator, referenced the fact that a senator had in the past taken offense to the use of the word "pettifogging" in Senate business. This prompted Stephen to comment in his monologue that Roberts should probably pick a more recent example "because I'm pettifogging sure nobody knows what that means." | |

When discussing the 2008 Nerdfighter website, John finds another word he considers inherently funny — "ning", related to their new site building. It's as good as bling but you don't have to spend money on jewels! |

In Grrl Power, Sydney and Flix bond, while in his ship's pool, over how their species name is funny in the other person's native language: specifically, "human" and ... "woof". (Sydney, in a moment of restraint, starts off with just a look, before asking "So... you're a space woof?" He can be visually compared to a wolf-man.) Eventually they're seen laughing and making random noises, while including "human"/"woof" in whatever they're saying. | |

The Venture Brothers: In "Eeney, Meeney, Miney... Magic!", Hank is hanging around being mildly annoying while Brock does his morning workout. He becomes entranced by the word "SCUBA", repeating it over and over and realizing that it's really a weirdly funny word. To his own surprise, Brock is forced to admit he's right. In "Victor. Echo. November.", in the course of a discussion about how not to get urine in your pants after using the toilet, Dean uses the word "dab" so many times it becomes both grating and hilarious, and Hank demands he stop saying it. But later, when Hank accidentally sets his crotch on fire, Dean "wails on his junk" to put it out. In agony, Hank asks him to "just dab". In "Momma's Boys", Hank stumbles across the phrase "doll withdrawal". He realizes it's not only funny-sounding, it's pretty hard to say. |

Cards Against Humanity: deconstructed in the white card "Helplessly giggling at the mention of Hutus and Tutsis." While the words are inherently funny, the situation they are involved in is not... only it becomes funny in its own, messed-up way. One of the cards simply reads "Bees?" and tends to get a laugh simply because "Bees?" said with an upward inflection is inherently funny. |

Peanuts: "Beagle" — according to creator Charles M. Schulz, Snoopy is a beagle because it's a funny word. Schulz has also claimed he personally likes the music of Brahms better than that of Beethoven, but made the latter Schroeder's idol because "Beethoven" is a funnier word. "Zamboni" probably counts as well, given the many hockey-related strips that ended with one as the punchline. |

Disco Elysium mentions a contemporary art facility called "The Wompty-Dompty-Dom Centre". With sufficiently high stats, The Detective's brain will get so hung-up on the sheer silliness of the name (and how the person mentioning it can say it so casually and straight-faced) that it eventually gives you a Thought based entirely on how silly the thing sounds. | |

In El Goonish Shive, Dan considers "weedle" and "wiggle" to be funny words. He uses the former as a punchline ("You have been poisoned by a Weedle.") and is disappointed by not being able to work the latter into the dialogue as "wiggle your fingers". | |

On I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again, Bill is strongly of the opinion that "terrapins" is an inherently funny word and tries repeatedly to make it the programme's catchphrase. Everyone else in the cast is baffled by this. One episode begins with a court case about "the bear and cookie joke" making people laugh at something that isn't funny. The defense counters with the argument that if you repeat anything often enough then people will find it funny. He illustrates by repeating the word "teapot" until everyone is in fits and it becomes this trope for the rest of the episode. |

Doctor Who: There's an old Jon Pertwee catchphrase for describing the reason for the series' focus on Earthbound horror — "a Yeti on the loo in Tooting Bec". During the Fourth Doctor era, Robert Holmes would often give the Doctor funny-sounding phrases to say, because Tom Baker had a rich, melodramatic voice that Holmes found amusing. See: "The Ark in Space": "Witty little knitter", and a whole scene where the Doctor has to repeatedly chant the word "green" (a word which Baker pronounces strangely). "Pyramids of Mars": "I shall mingle with the mummies but I shan't linger." "The Brain of Morbius" places weird emphasis on a scene where the Doctor is listing volcanoes, ending with a close-up of his face as he says the word "Popocatepetl". "Love & Monsters" reveals that the twin planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius is named... Clom. The main punchline in "Pond Life" is hearing Rory say the phrase "Ood on the loo". |

Monty Python's Flying Circus got a lot of mileage out of naming characters with these. One sketch revolved around a man whose name is spelled "Raymond Luxury-Yacht" but which is pronounced "Throatwarbler Mangrove", another featured a Tarquin Fintimlinbinwhinbimlim Bus Stop Ftang-Ftang Olé Biscuit Barrel. The Chemist Sketch was interrupted by an Eric Idle voiceover stating that "it is against the policy of the BBC to get cheap laughs with words like knickers, bum, or wee-wees." And now, number one, The LARCH. |

The Made in Canada episode "Just Another Week" sees clueless Pyramid CEO Alan Roy filming a documentary for the Toronto Film Institute about the creation of a comedy series about mummy bankers. Why mummy bankers? Mummies, because the costumes allow for actors to be easily replaced if they become difficult, and bankers, because the word "banker" has a "K" sound, and according to Alan, all words with a "K" sound are funny. At the end of the episode, he starts filming a follow-up about the creation of a dramatic series and asks the other executives to identify some inherently dramatic letters. | |

Friends: In one episode Ross starts dating a girl named Elizabeth Hornswoggle. Chandler immediately picks up on how funny her last name is but his New Year's Resolution was to not make fun of his friends, so he can't make any comments on it without losing a bet on how long he'd last. At the end of the episode he finally can't take it any more, hands over the money and jokes about the name. After getting married Phoebe goes to register her new last name but on a whim decides to change her name to "Princess Consuela Bananahammock". When Mike asks her if she knows what a "banana hammock" actually is she admits she thinks it's just a funny word. She immediately agrees to change her name back after Mike tells her it's slang for a Speedo. |

The Sopranos gets a lot of mileage out of this trope. A lot of the series' more light-hearted (or, blackly comedic) moments tend to involve the characters' favorite foods, which always seem to have really silly names. Choice examples include "gabagool"note Over here!, "buffalo mozzarella"note pronounced "moozarell", and of course, that time Chrissy shot a rude bakery cashier in the foot over a box of sfogliatellenote pronounced "Shfuyatelle" for some reason non-Italian speakers can only begin to fathom and cannolisnote he did not leave the gun. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: "The Outrageous Okona" had a B-plot about Data's attempts to understand human humor. To help him, he has the holodeck create a stand-up comic (guest star Joe Piscopo). When asked simply, "What is funny?", The Comic lists a few random things he finds personally hilarious, and one of them is "words that end in K". Later, when The Comic says something that's not meant to be funny but happens to mention Teaneck, New Jersey, Data spots the K-word and thinks he's catching on. | |
