A simple comedy dialogue trick is to have something bizarre happen, and then have someone say "not again", implying it's happened before. The actual phrasing can vary. A slightly less funny version (unless done just right) is where it actually has happened before, on-screen, and the character is just pointing that out.

A variation is to have the character say something along the lines of "This is just like X all over again," where X is something typically ordinary, such as prom, or graduation.

See also [[Here We Go Again]], and [[This Is Gonna Suck]], which can be combined with it. Is often used in conjunction with the [[Noodle Incident]] (especially if what happened the last time hasn't been mentioned or seen before, particularly if the "This is just like X all over again" variation is used).

* Not long ago, Jared's came out with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNqjmPQUUp0 another Dave/GPS commercial]; naturally, Dave invokes this trope as he remembers what happened [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a69eC7ldAcI last time].

* In the beginning of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', Rosette wails, "Why does this sort of thing always happen to me?!" after her mission to exorcise a demon ends in her crashing a ship into the Statue of Liberty. The very next chapter confirms that this sort of disaster happens ''because of'' her all the time.

* Early in ''[[Cyborg 009]]'' when the cyborgs were painting their ship, 007 accidentally knocks down a bucket of paint on [[The Comically Serious|008's]] head while arguing with 006. [[Hilarity Ensues|A noisy chase ensues]], which 004 comments laconically:

* During the [[Dragonball Z|Buu Saga]], after Piccolo and Gotenks discover the ruins of the Lookout, Piccolo states "the Lookout is destroyed... again." Those who've watched the Anime will most likely think back to the Garlic Jr. Saga, which is the only other time that the Lookout was destroyed ([[Noodle Incident|onscreen, anyway]]). Similarly, when Krillin, when trying to come up with an excuse for Gohan's whereabouts to Chi-Chi, considered saying "Gohan's been kidnapped again!" With the only other onscreen time he was kidnapped was during the events of the film Dead Zone.

* In an early ''[[FoxTrot]]'' arc, Andy becomes quite paranoid that her husband Roger is having an affair, when he calls to tell her he'll be home late again. As Andy continues to think of ways he could be lying to her about what he's ''really'' doing, Roger counters her questions with substantive answers. He even puts the phone up to his desk chair and says "Listen -- you know how my chair squeaks?" "Sounds like bedsprings", Andy replies, and Roger yells for a coworker named Fred to "get over here and talk to [his] wife", to which the ''coworker'' groans "Not again..."

* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''
</html>
** Barney Gumble often says this. Once after mistaking a life-sized, woman-shaped bottle of <s>cranberry juice</s> maple syrup for a woman, knocking "her" over and flooding the store.
** Another time, after drinking an "all-syrup Squishee" and [[What Did I Do Last Night?|waking up in a Greek cargo ship wearing a sailor's outfit]].
** In an episode of ''The Simpsons'', Homer organizes half the population of Springfield into forming the world's largest human pyramid. However, thanks to [[Hanlon's Razor|human stupidity]], the pyramid collapses and instead turns into a giant ball of people that rolls down the streets of Springfield. As he runs for his life from the ball, [[The Chew Toy|Hans Moleman]] cries out, "Not again!"
** In another episode, when virtually all of Springfield has joined the [[Church of Happyology|Movementarians]] Rev. Lovejoy is seen spreading gasoline on the church floor.
{{quote|"I never thought I'd have to do ''this'' again."}}
** "Can't we have one meeting that doesn't end with us digging up a corpse?"
** "Can't we just call in David Bowie?"—He's already done so much for this church.
** "Now, now dear. It's just until Daddy pays for the destruction of a priceless American artifact. ''(despondant sigh)'' I never thought I'd have to say that again."
* In ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' first episode "Dia Los Dangerous", Doctor Venture wakes up in a bathtub full of ice, with a missing kidney, and says, "Not again," then realizes this means he's missing both kidneys, causing him to calmly say, "This is serious."
* In a reference to one of the original shorts that inspired ''[[South Park]]'':
{{quote|'''Stan:''' Put the [[Frosty the Snowman|hat on the snowman]], Tweek.
'''Tweek:''' But what if it comes to life and tries to kill us?!
'''Stan:''' C'mon, when has that EVER happened, except for that one time? }}
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''
** In an early episode, Mr. Krabs' arms pop off while attempting to pull a dime out from a drain. Spongebob says the stock phrase exactly, implying that Mr. Krabs loses his arms on a regular basis. Even within the same episode Mr. Krabs lost his arms again, and it became a running gag that in a state of shock, disapproval or other emotional duress, he sometimes literally falls apart. There's also the repeated occurrence of Squidward accidentally swallowing his clarinet, but Spongebob only references it in a later episode when it grows from a simple gag to a plot-guiding calamity- he pulls the clarinet out of Squidward's throat, but its reed breaks off and remains stuck, requiring medical attention from Sandy to remove it.
** Mrs. Puff says this after briefly considering changing her name and moving to another town after giving Spongebob a boating license before he's qualified to drive.
** When he and Squidward think SpongeBob ate a bomb disguised as a pie, Mr. Krabs said he's seen this before. When questioned on it, he simply replies he'd seen it ''11 times''. Then Squidward, in guilt, calls the doctor for help, the doctor apparently tells him the exact same thing as Mr. Krabs.
* ''[[Code Monkeys]]'': "God''damn'' it, that's the second time I've eaten shit this week!"
* In ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'' [[Christmas Special]], the mall they visit for Christmas is ultimately burned to the ground (Billy's fault), causing Grim to wonder why every time he takes them to the mall it burns to the ground. Billy blames the economy.
* From ''[[The Critic]]'': "Oh good ''heavens''!! Can't ''one single dinner'' go by without our having to discuss your rotting corpse?!"
* The classic bumpers from ''[[Rocky and Bullwinkle]]'':
{{quote|'''Rocky:''' And now...
'''Bullwinkle:''' Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
'''Rocky:''' Again?! }}
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension]]'':
{{quote|'''Dr. Doofenshmirtz:''' [[If I Had a Nickel]] for every time I was doomed by a puppet, I'd have two nickels. Which, well, it isn't a lot, but [[Lampshade Hanging|it's weird that it happened twice, right?]]}}
* ''[[Rugrats]]'': When Charlotte arrives at the office late, her relieved assistant Jonathan says, "I thought you'd been abducted by eco-terrorists again."
* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", the Cutie Mark Crusaders' attempt to earn their Cutie Marks via zipline fails and ends with them covered in tree sap and pine needles. Frustrated, Scootaloo gives the following statement:
{{quote|'''Scootaloo:''' It's no use. No matter what we try, we always end up without our Cutie Marks... and suprisingly often, covered in tree sap.}}
** In the episode "A Friend in Deed", Pinkie says she accidentally put the confetti in the oven and the cake in the confetti cannon... again!.
* In an episode of ''[[Wildfire (animation)|Wildfire]]'', the title horse agrees to be a wage in an effort to rescue a friend of his. To win, the heroes have to find out where a certain troll lives and what his name is. After they finds the troll, he says they'd need six clues. Based on their experience trying to find the troll, Sara deduces his name and won. She then returns to the mortal realm, where her Native-American friend, Helen, learns her dream name but isn't allowed to tell anyone. Sara then asks for a clue and Helen says she'd need six. Sara then invokes the trope.
* ''[[Wakfu]]'', season 2 episode 4:
{{quote|'''Evangelyne:''' Amalia and Ruel have gotten themselves turned into ghouls!
'''Sadlygrove:''' Again? Ruel will end up getting a taste for it... }}
* [[Sam and Max Freelance Police (animation)|Sam and Max Freelance Police]]
{{quote|'''Max:''' Curses. Foiled by a clip on tie. It's Prom Night all over again.}}
* From [[Tintin (film)|The Adventures of Tintin]]:
{{quote|'''Tintin:''' Mrs. Finch! A man's been shot on our doorstep!
'''Mrs. Finch:''' Not again. }}
* From [[Animaniacs]] when the Warners meet [[Sherlock Holmes]]:
{{quote|'''Yakko:''' This always happens. Every time we get our hands on a [[The Watson|fat chubby sidekick,]] whammo, he's kidnapped by a Scottish guy, with a huge sombrero, in a flying contraption.}}


== Real Life ==
* [http://textsfromlastnight.com Texts From Last Night] has this as its second most common trope ([[What Did I Do Last Night?|I'm sure you can guess the first.]]) [http://textsfromlastnight.com/Text-Replies-5481.html This one] is particularly nice:
{{quote|'''#1:''' Banned from zoo.
'''#2:''' Again? }}
* [http://www.qdb.us/15920 One] from QDB. Comes with a side dish of [[Squick]].
** There's [http://www.qdb.us/303630 another one] with less Squick and more [[Too Dumb to Live]].
* In one edition of ''Countdown'', Keith Olbermann called out the TSA for detaining a high-ranking member of the British government who was ''working with the Department of Homeland Security'' because his name was the same as one on their watch list - and it wasn't the first time it had happened to him.
{{quote|"He's in the Cabinet! And we patted him down for weapons at Dulles Airport! AGAIN!!"}}
* In 1998, a security barrier popped up out of a driveway at [[The Pentagon]] while a limousine carrying Japan's defense minister was driving over it. The minister was slightly injured; the limo was in rather worse shape. In 2000, Germany's defense minister was likewise slightly injured by an essentially identical accident; it may even have been the very same barrier. The Italian defense minister should probably not visit the Pentagon....
