Gag Echo

A subtrope of Meaningful Echo, the Gag Echo is a pretty common trope in fiction and while it's found in works outside the comedy genre, it's always Played for Laughs. The line of dialogue will often appear in the form of a Brick Joke though it can pop up pretty soon after the first line. Usually the line will be repeated by another character and part of the fun comes from them not knowing someone else has already said the same thing. It can overlap with the Ironic Echo but differs from that since the Ironic Echo isn't usually played for comedy and the Gag Echo doesn't need the irony. Compare Ironic Echo Cut when something like this happens straight away as a cut to another scene.

 * From Mean Girls when the Plastics find Damian's picture in the yearbook.

 * A season 5 Sabrina the Teenage Witch episode has Sabrina cast a spell to make herself zip through her day at top speed.

 * The 8 Simple Rules episode "Secrets" makes a Running Gag out of the family lying about who's on the phone, saying it's someone selling long distance.
