Line 98:
* [[Pun-Based Title]]: A common theme in naming the show since the early 1950s, and often a [[Pop Culture Pun Episode Title]]. A few examples: ''Ham 'n Legs'' (1953), ''Breakfast in Bedlam'' (1960), ''[[High Society|High Sobriety]]'' (1966), ''[[American Graffiti|American Zucchini]]'' (1975), ''Stocks and Bondage'' (1982), ''[[101 Dalmatians|101 Damnations]]'' (1999) and ''[[Tropic Thunder|Tropic Blunder]]'' (2016).
** Since 2000, the Freshman Week show -- which previously never had a title other than perhaps "Best of Triangle" -- has been given titles that pun on the graduating year of the incoming class, starting with 2000's ''2004Play'', including names like ''Magic '08 Balls'', ''Knockin' on '11's Door'', ''NC-'17'' and most recently 2015's ''A '19 Shining Armor''.
* [[Rage Against the Author]]: The blackout ending of "The Elevator", a classic sketch about a hack writer (on one side of the stage) narrating his way through a (bad) thriller story set in an elevator filled with people (on the other side of the stage). When he gives up on the piece he's writing, the characters all turn to attack him.
* [[Show Stopper]]: The writers usually try for at least one every show.
* [[Days of the Week Song|Signs of the Zodiac Song]]: One Kickline in the early 1980s was an absolutely letter-perfect [[Golden Age of Hollywood]]-style "Brides of the Zodiac" number eerily reminiscent of "Beautiful Girls" from ''[[Singin' in the Rain]]''.
