 This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop.





Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The stand-up comedy shticks that've been used, referenced, parodied, and satirized so much that they're tropes of their own, and possibly even cliches. Overlaps with Stock Phrases and Acceptable Targets to some extent.
Often a case of "Seinfeld" Is Unfunny (literally, in some cases) if a perfectly serviceable joke is ruined by sheer overexposure. Others fall victim to Values Dissonance (see: most racial humour). May also be Outside Jokes if they're based solely on the listener's ignorance. Often cause listeners to think, "Never Heard That One Before!"
Another form is Bottom of the Barrel Joke, when the comedian uses a raunchy or off-color remark as low-effort "humor." There's also Stock Jokes, for all the specific jokes and punch lines we've all heard a million times, as well as Stock Parody Jokes about a certain work.

 In the show proper itself, there is no mention of airline food, especially in the episode "The Deal". The closest reference to the shtick is in the season 8 episode "The Summer of George", when George is invited by a guy to play frolf (a portmanteau of frisbee and golf), he has to choose to between frolf, and Jerry, whom George imagines him saying "What's the deal with airplane peanuts?", to which George picks frolf.
