I should add that I'm not sure any of these were actually funny They were the opposite of humour, which is coming up with something unpredictable.
I was going to say they were 'a way for the unimaginative to fit in' but that sounds a bit cruel...oh well I've just said it!

I dunno about that. A running gag can be funny. Seinfeld did it a couple of times to varying results. One episode a reporter writing about Jerry thinks he and George are partners. Every time homosexuality is brought up, they end the bit with "Not that there's anything wrong with it." In another, Kramer gets a part in a Woody Allen movie, saying "These pretzels are making me thirsty." The line is repeated over and over in different situations during the episode. It gets to be funny seeing how they continually fit it in. I think the humor is how you apply it. That's the unpredictable part. |

I know what you mean, but I think those things happen in a different context. It's not the same as someone repeating something for the two hundredth time on a message board.
It can work better when it's done as a character, I liked Griff's "noone" gag for example which was funny through repetition.

Sloop and his patty melts Matt Wilson and anal chugs At one point, Matt used to PM me almost every time I mentioned it. I would post and count, "One, one thousand, two, one thousand. . . " and he'd PM me telling me to knock it off. I would go weeks or a month or so before my stealth anal chug attacks. Every time, he'd be watching and PM me. The funny thing is I would always respond, "Okay, sorry. Won't do it again." It just gave me motivation to do it again. I never combined my love of patty melts with anal chugs in a post. That would desecrate the holiness of the patty melt. Matt Wilson I didn't mind desecrating that much. |

Matt would retaliate by calling me his bitch. I would try and deflate it by playing along.

The best part was that it was spoken in a (bad) fake Elton John voice. It initially happened at my first JU (Nashville '06) - Shagger, me, and the Bear had split from the group because we were the non-meat eaters and we went to get veggie food while they ate barbeque or whatever. He said (and I trust this is true, since he had just met me and Shagger Dave had gone to Memphis the previous year and I hadn't) that he looked up Dave on the phone list and dialed the wrong one.
It was meant affectionately (as affectionately as you can call anyone a cocksucker, anyway) so we all kind of went with it, and it became a running gag for the next several years, with both Daves (though Shagger got on the 'posting way less' train much earlier than the rest of us).
I miss Jamie. He'd be a great addition here (though he doesn't even post on Facebook much these days. Hope he's doing OK.)

I saw pillowz make a joke on FB about capes when she posted a picture of her keyboard setup. That made me smile.
