Many popular sitcoms have a running gag, some multiple. It’s something that only fans know about and love pointing it out when it appears again and again. Fans might even reference the most popular running gags in their daily lives, like the oft-repeated line “We were on a break!” from Friends. Many of the running gags are ones fans look forward to, like the Slap Bet from How I Met Your Mother or Kramer bursting into Jerry’s apartment on Seinfeld at any given moment.
