Sometimes, to make their audience's excitement tingle, a work makes their cast speak in jingles.
Or: A work has a chapter or episode where the characters speak in rhymes. This is sometimes justified by the characters being involved in an in-universe musical or some other sort poetry event. Other times, the cast have a (mis)-adventure to a Quirky Town (or planet, or dimension) where this sort of speech pattern is the norm, or has a run-in with a character who somehow only speaks in rhymes. Often done in reference to other works that heavily features Rhymes on a Dime (such as Dr. Seuss) and, depending on the episode's length and the writer's poetic capabilities, may contain a heavy dose of Painful Rhyme. The episode is also likely to have a Rhyming Title to match.

The Moonlighting episode "Atomic Shakespeare" was done in costume as if the cast were in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. At one point, the leads break the fourth wall to tell the audience, "We hate iambic pentameter!"

The second half of Linkara's review of a New Kids on the Block comic was done in rhyme.
His review of the Christmas issue of the Star Trek: The Next Generation comic was also done entirely in Seussian-rhyme. This was due to the reveal that the aliens the crew encounters are a race of Grinch-like beings who are on the hunt for Santa Claus.

The Defenders: In issue #115, the Beast, Gargoyle, Sub-Mariner and Valkyrie are accidentally sidetracked while attempting to return to Earth, and wind up in a dimension called 'The Land of Here and There': based on the works of Dr. Seuss. The local inhabitants all speak in rhyme, and Beast soon finds himself getting into the swing of things and joining in. The Comically Serious Sub-Mariner most assuredly does not.

Archie Comics: The comics has several, almost all of them triggered by Jughead.
One story involved Jughead rhyming all of Archie's sentences, causing a chain reaction that rapidly has all of Riverdale High compulsively rhyming each other's sentences non-stop. Everyone is miserable until Betty and Veronica recall that the last time Jughead did this, it finally stopped when he suffered a blow to the head. They then trick him into making an insulting rhyme with Big Moose's name in his hearing...POW.
Another story has Jughead participate in a poetry contest and starts speaking entirely in rhymes to "train" himself. His rhyming kick ends up infecting his friends, who starts speaking in rhymes as well. Then Veronica gets an idea to send him to an isolated inn her family owns for the weekend, and manages to cure themselves of Jughead's rhyming influence. That is, until Veronica decides to call the inn's keeper to check up on Jughead, and realized too late that Jug had started the rhyming kick there, and Veronica brought back the fad by relaying the keeper's rhyming message back to her friends.

The Faerie Tale Theatre adaptation of "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" is a straight-up retelling of the Robert Browning poem, so after a Framing Device prologue that presents it as a bedtime story Browning is telling a young boy, all the dialogue and narration is in rhyming couplets.
