Never Heard That One Before | comment |
This is the usual response most people have when they hear a comment or joke they've heard a million times or more; particularly when said remark has long since stopped being funny, and moved past tiresome. (The trope name is an instance of Sarcasm Mode, in case you couldn't tell.) For instance, when a person mentions Aquaman, they might mention that he talks to fish and nothing else. The reaction of a comic fan? "Gee, I've never heard that one before". The recipient of the joke may also simply say, "It wasn't funny the first hundred times." A variant is when a person can tell that their new acquaintance is just dying to drop that line, and says with resignation some variant of "Go ahead; just say it. I know you're thinking it." Other times, the character may silence the other with a Preemptive "Shut Up" before they can even utter said line. Often subverted by having a character who really has never heard that joke before. Truth in Television: This happens in Real Life to people with distinctive or Unfortunate Names, names linked to something with pop cultural significance or, Heaven forbid, a Punny Name. Or another obvious distinguishing feature: for example, working at a company that has the same name. It can also arise as simply a common joke in a certain line of work. Can lead to anger if done too frequently or the wishes of the person on the receiving end to cut it out already aren't respected. The person who says this may be a Phrase Catcher or have a Real Joke Name. Compare Discredited Meme and Never Live It Down. |

Super Troopers: A Vermont state trooper named Foster hits on a Spurbury cop named Ursula by calling her a "Charlie's Angel" (she remotely looks like Farrah Fawcett by virtue of being blonde). She congratulates him on being the 1,000,000th person to call her that. However, she says it pretty good-naturedly. She's much less good-natured when Farva says the same thing later, not helped by the fact that Farva is overweight, naked, and covered in powdered sugar. | |

In Finding Nemo, everyone who notices Marlin is a clownfish wants him to tell a joke, but seems to expect he's never gotten that response before and has a joke prepared. He does have a joke, but he keeps trying to explain it. By the end, he's lightened up a little and even has a decent ocean-themed pun. | |

Dr. Stein from Blood Stain does not take kindly to anyone calling him "Blood Stain". Being saddled with that nickname by asshole kids back in your school days will do that to you, and when Elly mistakenly calls him this, he goes on a quite pissed-off and snarky rant about this trope, nearly scaring poor Elly out of her wits. | |

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: Will eventually admits that even he is getting tired of all the fat jokes. When his Uncle Phil laments, "Why must I always be The Heavy?", Will just says to himself, "Forget it, that would be too easy." Also, in the episode with William Shatner. When he walks into the building someone jokingly says: "Hey, I saw your car outside, I guess you thought beaming down would be too flashy." Mr. Shatner was not happy. |

Channel Awesome: Doug Walker apparently heard too many Doug jokes when growing up, so The Nostalgia Critic has an intense hatred for that show, and even playing Doug's theme serves as a Berserk Button. Eventually, Walker had to explain the Alter-Ego Acting to Doug creator Jim Jones' daughter, saying that he himself doesn't hate the show. This is also what Doug feels about the "Bat-Credit Card" joke, NC's other Berserk Button. While at first amusing and became his most memetic and famous joke, he got really tired of it when people make him re-enact his rage by saying "Bat-Credit Card" within his vicinity that his lungs were in danger of being damaged so he asks that people stop telling him to re-enact that joke, or he'll just find ways to subvert it without going into rage. Personally, he liked the joke enough that it's amongst his Top 10 favorite Nostalgia Critic jokes. Demo Reel/Nostalgia Critic actress Rachel Tietz is more than aware of how her last name is pronounced, thank you. |

When Dr. Becker is sued for malpractice, the judge loses any patience she still had with him after an outburst that ends with him quoting ...And Justice for All. "You have no idea how much I hate that damn movie!" It's also implied in her expression in the following episode when Becker belatedly notices that her last name is Reinhold (her name was stated and shown onscreen in the courtroom scenes, but no one drew attention to it). | |

Angel: Green-skinned demon Lorne doesn't really like going by that name because he hates Lorne Greene jokes, but is fine with it once it turns out that the only one who even gets the reference is Angel.note When we visit his homeworld, we learn that his real name is Krevlornswath. So why not "Krev"? He could say it's short for Crèvecœur ('heartbreaker' in French). | |

The Simpsons: The Simpsons visit an exhibit of luxury cars, one of which is presented by a blonde bikini bimbo. Homer quips "Do you come with the car?" and she giggles, "Oh, you!" The next person to come by makes the exact same joke and she replies in the exact same way. Either she's very used to it and has practiced it, or she has the memory of a goldfish. In "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Marge" (originally aired in 2000), each student in Bart's class is given a video camera for a school project to create a movie. As soon as he hands over the cameras, Skinner immediately says he doesn't want to see "30 Blair Witch knockoffs". Cue the entire class going "Aw...". Subverted in the case of Bart's teacher, Mrs. Krabappel, whose name was always pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable until one day Milhouse came out with the obvious pun. Turns out none of the kids had ever thought of it before. "Lisa the Greek": At a fancy restaurant, the waiter introduces himself to the Simpsons and says he'll be their waiter. Homer replies by saying he's Homer and will be the waiter's customer. The waiter dryly says he never heard that one before. |

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency, the Pillar Man Wamuu kills Caesar's friend Mark by walking into him and absorbing half of his body. Worse, he didn't even notice since humans are just that insignificant to the Pillar Men. When Caesar angrily declares he'll avenge Mark, the Pillar Men...just start laughing. They then claim that they've heard Ripple Warriors make similar declarations throughout the ages so many times that it's funny to them. | |

In The World Is Not Enough, upon introducing herself to Bond, Doctor Christmas Jones says, "Don't make any jokes, I've heard 'em all." Bond effortlessly replies, "I don't know any doctor jokes." He does make a couple of Christmas jokes eventually, including a truly wince-inducing one that's the movie's last line. ("I thought Christmas only comes once a year.") | |

Dragon Age: Inquisition: The developers managed to do this to themselves. During development, they all made so many "NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!" jokes that they grew tired of them and announced that they wouldn't make any in the actual game. Of course, they couldn't resist a couple of riffs: Once when you attempt to recruit the mages ("No one was expecting us") In the game itself, Cassandra and Leliana are respectively known as the Right Hand of the Divine and the Left Hand of the Divine. Cassandra implies in one party banter that she frequently hears jokes about the right hand not knowing what the left is doing, and preemptively threatens to punch Blackwall when he looks like he's about to say it. |

Whenever Harry Potter meets anyone who knew his parents, they inevitably tell him, "You look like your dad, but you've got your mum's eyes." When Slughorn says this in the sixth book, Harry thinks that he's starting to get sick of it. Fanfiction tends to exaggerate this to the point where it becomes Harry's Berserk Button. Also, there were a number of common cracks made on his name that got really lame after a while (and they indicated as much), and his friends. "Oh, Potter, you rotter," "potty wee Potter," "crackpot," "Potty and the Weasel," "Weaselbee," And Hermione's reaction to the "Potter Stinks" badges? "Oh, very funny. Really witty." | |

When the brother of a patient from Germany introduces himself as Herman, J.D. calls him "Herman the German" in a joking way but apologizes because Herman must hear that all the time.

Saints Row: This attitude is expressed by a DJ when a woman named Jane calls in to request a song. That alone tells him the title of the song she intends to request. When she's shocked he knew, his response is a sarcastic "Lucky guess." This comes up again in Saints Row 2. The Boss being able to look drastically different than he did in the first game — up to and including being a woman — is lampshaded several times throughout the game by characters asking the Boss if they did something with their hair. One early time they respond "yeah, I've been getting that a lot". In the secret mission with Julius, the Boss interrupts his attempt at it by pulling a gun on him and shouting "I didn't do shit to my hair!" |

Calvin and Hobbes: One series of strips focused on a School Play about the food groups. Calvin asks Suzie what she's playing, she responds "I'm 'Fat'", and of course Calvin says "No, I mean in the play." The last panel shows Calvin laid out on the ground and Suzie screaming "ANYONE ELSE WANNA SAY IT?!" In one arc, Calvin adds a Morality Dial to his duplicator and makes a pure-good duplicate of himself. The good Calvin is honest about this (because of course he is), but everyone who he explains this to dismisses it on the grounds that Calvin's good side ought to be a lot smaller. "Boy, have I heard THAT joke a lot." |

Discworld: Tiffany Aching refers to her father's pun as The Joke. He's a farmer and he works hard. Do the math. "He was Aching when he woke, and he'll be Aching when he sleeps." They recognize that it's not a funny joke, but it's got sentimental value behind it, like an elderly aunt. Moist von Lipwig, the protagonist of Going Postal and Making Money, notes in the former book that he's heard every possible joke about his name. His love interest, Adora Belle Dearheart, commiserates. |

In the beginning of the Helen Reddy episode of The Muppet Show, Helen makes a "ready" joke, if only to get them out of the way. When Scooter asks if she seriously believes the Muppets would stoop so low, Fozzie Bear pops in to make a "ready" joke. "Lower," confirms Helen. | |

Blue Eye Samurai. The title character has faced Half-Breed Discrimination her entire life due to what's regarded as Creepy Blue Eyes to the rest of the Japanese population. Akemi poses as a high-class courtesan so she can get close enough to kill Mizu, and anticipating the response to her Mizu says, "Whatever clever insult comes next is not as clever as you think." Akemi goes on to say What Beautiful Eyes! which Mizu hasn't heard before, but she dismisses it as the trained flattery expected of a courtesan. | |

Schlock Mercenary: Kathryn Flinders replies sarcastically that "that joke never gets old" when Schlock references an old joke about "military intelligence" being an oxymoron after she's hired by the Toughs in the "Haven Hive" storyline. (The joke is worn out enough that Nick, when trying to come up with the word "oxymoronic", uses it.) Kowalski never gets tired of being told he's a monster, no matter whose body he's using at the time. The kicker is that he's well aware of exactly how monstrous he is, and having people constantly remind him feels redundant at this point. |

Family Skeleton Mysteries: Discussed and subverted when Georgia meets Brownie Mannix for the first time in book 1, and she explains that she's there because she's "trying to establish the provenance of a human skeleton that was recently donated to our collection". Brownie replies that he's been at the carnival since he was born, and he'd been sure there was no towner story he hadn't heard... "But you have indeed come up with a new one." In book 2, Adam McDaniels is in pharmaceuticals, and mentions that every time he goes to a party, people ask if he has any free samples (and it's gotten old). Georgia remarks that she usually gets people commenting "You teach at a college? You must be really smart." In book 3, Georgia mentions that once, when a guy heard her name, he started singing "Georgia On My Mind". And she hates that song. |

Penguin finally says that it sounds familiar and is not surprised when Brady replies that "I've heard all the jokes, sir." He later admits to Selina that it's why he got into crime, and also out of it (Joker had wanted to set him up as his own '70s-themed criminal, and he wasn't interested). Selina Kyle has many visitors to her apartment who comment on her lack of cat-themed stuff around the place. She's gotten a little tired of it. |

After several moments of confusion whenever his name is mentioned: Jokes about Ba'al (pronounced Ball) on the other hand... Jack in particular loves to make them, but then the two of them do have a rather... checkered past... it may be Jack's way of coping with a bit of PTSD. In the first episode of the Stargate Atlantis three-parter "The Siege", Radek Zelenka explains to Elizabeth Weir that the Ancient computer system is incredibly redundant. Incredibly redundant?

Avengers: Infinity War: Thanos tends to have this reaction to people telling him he's mad. And given the things he usually gets up to, he probably has heard a hell of a lot. At one point he straight-up rolls his eyes when Gamora tries to give him a "The Reason You Suck" Speech. It really doesn't help that him getting dismissed as a madman played a big part in his homeworld being destroyed, meaning that not only has he heard it a thousand times, but it'd be pretty damn offensive to him even if he hadn't. | |

Dragon Ball Z Abridged: Freeza has been keeping track of things that would-be heroes (or just empire-topplers) have said to him before trying to kill him; he's heard "We're here to stop this senseless slaughter of our people" 92 times, "This has gone on for too long and now you're going to pay" 355 times, "We are the ones who will stop you" 419 times, "That wasn't part of the deal" 500 times, "You insane bastard" 190 times, and "We're going to f*** your face" twelve times. This is then subverted in Episode 27 when Goku shows up and delivers a one-liner he actually HASN'T heard before. In Episode 33, Trunks reacts this way after Freeza boasts about his cyborg enhancements. In Episode 43, Cell reacts this way after being called a monster. |

The miniseries Superman: Secret Identity has the protagonist living in our world, who begins to develop the identical powers of Superman. His name's Clark. Clark Kent. Yes, like the Comic Book. Some of his co-workers set him up on a blind date with a woman named Lois. Apparently, she has been set up with several Clarks in the past, while Clark has been set up with a number of Loises, along with a few Lanas and at least one Cat. This Clark and Lois, however, end up Happily Married during the course of the story. | |

One Vampire: The Masquerade sourcebook says that Kindred in general have a special nickname for "Bela Lugosi's Dead" — TFBS, or "That Fucking Bauhaus Song". Because there's always someone who thinks they're being a wit when they play it over the stereo at Elysium. | |

Stargate SG-1: A Goa'uld in has the unfortunate name of Yu (pronounced You). After several moments of confusion whenever his name is mentioned: Jokes about Ba'al (pronounced Ball) on the other hand... Jack in particular loves to make them, but then the two of them do have a rather... checkered past... it may be Jack's way of coping with a bit of PTSD. |

In the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations", Dax takes a shot at it when two members of Temporal Investigations come to question Captain Sisko. "I guess you boys from Temporal Investigations are always on time..." The annoyed look the two investigators share makes it pretty clear that wasn't a new one. They have a similar reaction to Sisko's statement of "believe me if we'd changed the timeline somehow we'd be the first to know." | |

X-Wing Series: Wraith Squadron pilot Falynn Sandskimmer's career has been held back mainly by her trouble with authority, which isn't helped by her attitude towards a certain hero of the Rebellion: "Can you imagine being compared to him all your adult life just because you're another pilot from Tatooine? No, I've never met Luke Skywalker. In fact, I wish I'd never heard of him." When Grinder and Tyria get into a fight, Phanon tries to tell Wedge that they were "demonstrating a hand-to-hand combat technique" to avoid any trouble. Wedge, visibly irritated, asks Phanon how many times he thinks he's heard that one, and when Phanon says he doesn't know, tells him to get out of the conversation and not come back in. |

Pick a "Raven"... any raven. ( Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, Teen Titans, Discworld, American Gods, the wrestler... anything). Then say, "Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore'" at it. They will never be amused. The one in American Gods gives a particularly vulgar response. Except for Matthew the Raven in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman; not only does he voluntarily and spontaneously say "Nevermore" in issue #22, he turns out in the ensuing conversation to be unaware that it's a cliché. The Death of Rats' steed in Discworld is a talking raven who's named Quoth because he was owned by a wizard who thought he had a sense of humor. Quoth does not say "the N-word." An earlier Pratchett book, Strata, references the trope by having a robotic raven; when it speaks, the text uses the phrase "Quoth the raven:..." even though its eventual words are something like, "You kitten!" The boy in Robin Jarvis's Wyrd Museum trilogy also names his zombie raven Quoth. |

This comes up again in Saints Row 2. The Boss being able to look drastically different than he did in the first game — up to and including being a woman — is lampshaded several times throughout the game by characters asking the Boss if they did something with their hair. One early time they respond "yeah, I've been getting that a lot". In the secret mission with Julius, the Boss interrupts his attempt at it by pulling a gun on him and shouting "I didn't do shit to my hair!" | |

His "One With Everything" special, however, does seem pretty original. And this isn't even getting into the time he took Jim to lunch at Hooters. His time spent in the restaurant was basically this nonstop. |

In the first episode of Yes, Minister, Jim Hacker is introduced to Sir Humphrey, the Permanent Secretary and Bernard Woolley, Hacker's Principal Private Secretary. Humphrey then explains that the Permanent Secretary also has a Principal Private Secretary and that the Department contains 10 Deputy Secretaries, 87 Under Secretaries and 219 Assistant Secretaries. The Prime Minister will appoint two Parliamentary Under Secretaries, and Hacker will appoint his own Parliamentary Private Secretary. Hacker asks how many of them can type, and suggests opening an agency, before adding "I suppose all new Ministers say that." Sir Humphrey smoothly replies "Of course not, Minister. Not quite all." | |

NCIS: In the Season 2 episode "SWAK", after Tony contracts Y. pestis, he is sent to Bethesda hospital and treated by Dr. Brad Pitt (no relation). Most of the characters comment on the name in some fashion, with Pitt even referencing the trope. Season Seven's "The Inside Man" features an SEC investigator named Benjamin Franklin. His admonishment below doesn't stop Tony from trying. In Season Eight's "Baltimore", McGee and Ziva interview Dao Huang, the owner of a fortune cookie company, who is Caucasian and speaks with a pronounced Russian accent. When McGee expresses surprise, Dao Huang explains, in the exasperated tone of having done so many times before, that he was adopted in Ukraine by Chinese immigrants, before the family moved to the United States. In season 12's "Grounded", shortly after meeting Ellie's husband Jake, they encounter a rude airline passenger: The above serves as Foreshadowing for a Plot Point in the same episode when they run into the man again and he claims to be an Air Marshal named Mike Beers. Tony makes a crack about how "we could all use one (beer)" and gets suspicious when the man asks "One what?", noting that "It's like Jake with the Chinatown joke. Anybody named 'Beers' would be sick to death of a joke like that. That guy acted like he never heard it before." It turns out he's right, as the man turns out to be an impostor. |

Due to the way his name is spelled, it appeared the poor guy was doomed to a lifetime (or at least a career) of countless smartasses saying "Bueller... Bueller..." to him in a monotonous voice. Fortunately, TV commentators put the issue to rest as early as possible by noting that his name was actually pronounced "Beeler." | |

In the Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode Revenge of the Creature, Mike and the 'bots learn from Professor Bobo that they are in the year 2525 and Earth is now ruled by apes. You can guess which movie Mike starts quoting. Bobo then completes Mike's quotes with an utterly apathetic and bored tone, clearly having heard this several times before. | |

In The Curse of Kudan, when Sakuya meets first-year Koto, Koto tells Sakuya that she's heard jokes about her names many times already. In the original Japanese, people joke about Koto's name because it's written with the kanji characters for "little rabbit." The English localization changes it to Sakuya making a joke about Koto being a koto player. | |

Penguin finally says that it sounds familiar and is not surprised when Brady replies that "I've heard all the jokes, sir." He later admits to Selina that it's why he got into crime, and also out of it (Joker had wanted to set him up as his own '70s-themed criminal, and he wasn't interested). | |

In Moral Orel it's not played for laughs. The owner of a hardware store is named Mr. Nohammer and runs the store Nohammer Hardware. He seems to have been made so paranoid by that joke of people calling to ask if he has any hammers that his entire store is covered in hammers and signs in big letters stating "YES WE HAVE HAMMERS!". | |

The West Wing: Sam makes a reference to "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey?" when he meets Will's sister Elsie, to which she responds, "You should definitely mention that to him, 'cause he's probably never heard that reference before." She adds that he goes by Will, not Bill, and he tries again with, "Merry Christmas, y' old Building & Loan!" — which they probably also haven't heard before since as Elsie says, that's George Bailey. C.J. is well known for her height and the semi-frequent jokes about it. When the First Lady appears on Sesame Street the rest of the Senior Staff immediately start making jokes about Big Bird much to C.J.'s frustration. |

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy: In So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, when Fenchurch first introduces herself to Arthur Dent, she adds: Eventually, they chorus the question: "Were you found in a handbag in the Left Luggage office at Fenchurch Street Station?" She wasn't. She was conceived there. Not in the Left Luggage office itself, since her parents would not have had a reason to be there, though. It was in the ticket queue. |

In Tomo-chan Is a Girl!, the title character's birthday is earlier than all her friends, and therefore she smugly rubs the fact that she's technically older than them in their faces ("You can call me 'Big Sis' if you want.")

This is also what Doug feels about the "Bat-Credit Card" joke, NC's other Berserk Button. While at first amusing and became his most memetic and famous joke, he got really tired of it when people make him re-enact his rage by saying "Bat-Credit Card" within his vicinity that his lungs were in danger of being damaged so he asks that people stop telling him to re-enact that joke, or he'll just find ways to subvert it without going into rage. Personally, he liked the joke enough that it's amongst his Top 10 favorite Nostalgia Critic jokes. | |

Another had a man vetoing literally every single name his pregnant wife suggested for their soon to be born son, insisting that the kid would be subjected to these kinds of jokes — "Hey Harry, where are the Henderson's?" As it turns out, the guy has a very good reason to be worried about his kid's name... |

Game of Thrones: Tyrion isn't happy over how everyone keeps making dwarf jokes, though that doesn't stop him making eunuch jokes to Varys, who just responds with an exasperated eyeroll. From "Battle of the Bastards": And in "Walk of Punishment", Tyrion has been given Littlefinger's job as Master of Coin and asks if he has any advice for his successor. Salladhor Saan relates a certain joke to a couple of prostitutes, who beat him to the punchline. Davos asks them if there's any pirate in Braavos who hasn't told that one. |

The sketch is naturally referencing The World Is Not Enough mentioned above. Another sketch featured a bunch of kids singing "Jingle Bells, Batman Smells!", only to be confronted by the real Batman and Robin who are obviously annoyed at people singing that, going so far as to kill the children. It turns out to be a story made up by a teacher annoyed at a kid messing up his Christmas play who was singing it. |

Doctor Who: "It's Bigger on the Inside." Usually followed by the character running out of the TARDIS, round it, and back in, goggle-eyed. These days, it has become something of a Dead Horse Trope on Doctor Who, with the Doctor frequently lampshading it, pre-empting it, or the characters being in too much of a rush to really pay attention. Although when Rory figures out what's what without any help, he seems to be more than a little perturbed that he didn't get the usual response. This goes back at least as far as the Jon Pertwee era. From "The Three Doctors": Subverted by Clara in "The Snowmen". She gets goggle-eyed and runs around the TARDIS, the Doctor waits for it, only for her to say "It's smaller on the outside!" The Doctor is actually surprised and muses that's a new one. In "The Husbands of River Song", because River does not recognize the Doctor's newest regeneration, she takes him to the TARDIS thinking he is just a normal doctor without knowledge of the TARDIS's interdimensional abilities. This leads to the Doctor exclaiming his mock awe whilst River attempts to get him back on track. "Army of Ghosts": When the Doctor tells Torchwood Institute head Yvonne Hartman that they'll never get inside the TARDIS, she just smiles and retorts "Et cetera". |

The second season of The Wire introduces us to Ukrainian gangster Sergei, who is addressed as Boris several times, either by stupid punks or by detectives looking to mess with him. For a hardened mob enforcer with a history of cutting off the hands and faces of his victims, Sergei responds surprisingly gently. Instead of lashing out, he tends to give a long-suffering sigh or say in confusion "Boris. Why is it always Boris?" | |

The Twilight Saga: In book 1 (and its Perspective Flip Midnight Sun), when Bella and Edward are on their way back to the car from Edward's first demonstration of his "sparkling", Edward offers to show Bella how he travels in the forest. In book 4, during Bella's pregnancy, Jacob cracks a couple of blonde jokes at Rosalie. She's familiar with both of them. Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined: As in Twilight, Beau and Edythe have almost the same conversation after Edythe shows off her sparkling, with Beau asking if Edythe will turn into a bat and Edythe laughing it off with "Like I haven't heard that one before!" |

Aladdin: Iago hates the phrase "Polly wanna cracker", most likely because the Sultan, while thinking Iago was an ordinary parrot, would cram a cracker down his throat at every opportunity. When Jafar takes over Agrabah, Iago takes great, vindictive pleasure in force-feeding the Sultan as many crackers as he could. This has become Iago's Berserk Button, as his The Dog Bites Back moment at the beginning of the sequel Aladdin: The Return of Jafar is triggered by Jafar declaring, "If it weren't for me, you'd still be in a cage in the bazaar, squawking 'Polly want a cracker!'" When Iago first meets the second sequel's titular King of Thieves, this exchange occurs. | |

A variant occurs with Cho from No Need for Bushido. Cho is a blind kung fu master who is guided by his sense of the Tao and is so capable of looking after himself and navigating in any surrounding that anyone who meets him is inevitably shocked when they're told that Cho is blind. Inevitably, whoever has just been told that Cho is blind will start to wave their hand in front of Cho's face to test him (which Cho can sense because of the Tao) only for Cho to catch the hand in question and tell the person off while complaining about everyone doing it. | |

Casino Royale (1967): Peter Sellers is at a training center preparing to take the role of James Bond. He's shown gadgets for the field, including a pen that sprays poison gas. He tells the obligatory "poison pen letter" joke, and his instructor wearily finishes the sentence with him, pointing out that all new recruits say that. Some years later, Roger Moore as 007 says it, but gets a free pass (apart from Q's usual peevish reaction). | |

When she learns Dirk is a private detective, she spends a moment thinking if there's something everyone would say to a private detective, so she can avoid saying it. When she explains this, Dirk replies "No. What happens is that everybody looks very shifty for a moment, and you got that very well." | |

In the first episode of the Stargate Atlantis three-parter "The Siege", Radek Zelenka explains to Elizabeth Weir that the Ancient computer system is incredibly redundant. Incredibly redundant? "That one never gets old." | |

Family Guy: While playing golf, there was this exchange (for context, Joe is in a wheelchair): On another episode, someone quoted Anne Robinson's "you are the weakest link, goodbye" in class, and Stewie went on a (sarcastic) tirade about how unoriginal that was. In "Emission Impossible", Brian is reading instructions for crib assembly to Peter, specifying rods and slots. Brian cuts across Peter's anticipated reply with "If you say 'That's What She Said' one more time, I'm gonna pop you." In "Hell Comes to Quahog": |

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme A song in which zookeepers complained about the things people always say at their exhibits. ("When you see a meerkat, don't say 'Simples'...") Another episode had a series of skits in which John had an Internal Monologue in which he tried to think of a witty and original thing to say to someone, and came up with the most obvious comment imaginable (asking a tall person "What's the weather like up there?" and saying to Tony Robinson "I've got a good idea!", which isn't even right). The person muttered a sarcastic "Heh, yeah", while John's internal monologue said "Nailed it!" The third time it seemed he was gearing up to make a terrible comment about a woman's breasts and instead he complimented her glasses, and got a sincere thank you. And went off thinking he'd made an utter fool of himself. |

In Stories: Path of Destinies, one of the (many) paths has a Councilwoman comment that the protagonist Reynardo — a Swashbuckling fox — is "crazy like a fox" after he pulls off something particularly ridiculous. The Lemony Narrator describes him "smiling politely like he'd never heard THAT one before." | |

Cyrano de Bergerac. After a man tries to insult Cyrano and tells him that his nose is "very big", he gives a Long List of better insults in various styles. However, he makes it clear that he wouldn't take such insults from anyone but himself. | |

The Pieces Lie Where They Fell (a My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic): When introducing himself to some of his fellow future Bearers, Wind Breaker adds "And yes, I've heard all the jokes, so please don't start." Vix-Lei is noticeably disappointed at being preemptively cut off. Later subverted by the human Applejack when she hears his name and asks "Your folks named you after a coat?" Wind Breaker has never heard that version and, as he admits to himself, had never heard of a type of coat called that before, so he wasn't expecting it. He comments on it again in the sequel, Picking Up the Pieces, when the pony he's given his name to starts snickering, only to be told they were laughing about something else. Then he has to explain it again a few times to natives of the Griffish Isles during their trip there. At least one asks him to "Please tell me not all Hatchery griffons had such... poorly thought-out names." Referenced for a different situation in chapter 26 of Picking Up the Pieces; when Vix-Lei hears the name of Judge Diamond Knot and makes the predictable "Lest ye be judged" joke, Rex tells her that Judge Knot has heard that joke more times than he can count and finds it annoying. |

Sam makes a reference to "Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey?" when he meets Will's sister Elsie, to which she responds, "You should definitely mention that to him, 'cause he's probably never heard that reference before." She adds that he goes by Will, not Bill, and he tries again with, "Merry Christmas, y' old Building & Loan!" — which they probably also haven't heard before since as Elsie says, that's George Bailey. | |

Frasier: Played straight in the Season Four finale, "Odd Man Out", when Frasier meets a woman at the airport: When John Glenn guest-starred in Season Seven, the good doctor just couldn't resist: In "No Sex Please, We're Skittish" Niles goes to the sperm bank to ask if his "deposit has earned any interest". The nurse replies "Sir, I've worked here twenty-eight years. Think you can tell me one I haven't heard? Go ahead, try me." Niles backs down. At one point, Frasier tries to explain why Martin found him apparently evesdropping on him and Ronee, which was because he'd been eating an apple when they entered the flat. Martin shrugs this off, apparently having heard this a lot when he was a cop. By season 8, Frasier's complaints about his latest romantic disaster have become so common his family say they've heard it all before. By season 11, they can recite them along with Frasier. |

In the book of Harry Enfield and Chums, Enfield recounts a story about looking for a dog he was supposed to be walking. Every person he passed said "You don't want to do it like that", in reference to his character Annoying Dad (aka Mr You-Don't-Want-To-Do-That). Finally, he snapped, and responded, "And you don't want to be the hundredth person to say that to me today!" In the book, he takes the opportunity to apologize to the person, if they're reading. | |
