Running gags

There are a number of running gags in WTLNetwork's videos. Below is a list of them (in no particular order):
==Penn Jillette (AKA The 'SHUT. THE FUCK. UP.' Gag)==
First seen in Bill and Ben Were Horrified!, this gag has been used multiple times in the series. It consists of American magician and comedian Penn Jillette saying 'SHUT. THE FUCK. UP.' in an angry voice. The original video can be found here.
== NO! ==
First seen in Toby’s mediocre spin of it consists of a random character saying no in a very loud voice it is so far the only gag to appear in a non Thomas poop.
 
==Gordon crashing into the station==
First seen in Thomas the Wank Engine, this gag uses a clip from the series 5 episode 'A Better View for Gordon' in order to make Gordon crash into a station on several occasions. Sometimes, Gordon is made to say different things when he crashes, for example 'Help me!' (the original), 'Fuck me!' (Henry Goes Gallivanting Off To Poo) and 'What has happened to me?' (Trickety-Trock). The joke was most prominently featured in Pogo On This, Hit! when Gordon actually arrived at the station safely, however he still managed to crash through the wall despite being completely stationary at the time.
==Adagio For Strings==
First seen in Nobody Understands Thomas, this gag involves a train crashing into a structure in slow-motion while Samuel Barber's 'Adagio For Strings' plays. It is often used as a pastiche of WTLNetwork's previous videos in which the same thing happens.
==Thomas crashes into a snow drift==
Only used in Thomas and the Wanking Policeman and Christmas with WTLNetwork, this gag sees Thomas crash into a large snow drift after leaving a scene.
==Scream==
The scream is a high-pitched screaming sound coupled with increasing the speed of the clip. It has been widely used by other poopers since its first use, and as such has become something of a tired running gag.
==The Original Ideas Book==
First seen in Ongoing Feuds, this running gag features Sam consulting a red book with ideas he had previously thought up for future poops. The ideas are often of extremely low quality, and as such Sam often disposes of the book, however he always digs it out of the bin.
