It was funny the first three times, then it just became old. It's acknowledged in-universe by his companions (and even antagonists Team Rocket) occasionally getting annoyed at his antics. Brock flirting with any older female he sees in Pokémon, before being hauled away by Misty/Max ( by the ear), Bonsly (using Double-Edge) and Croagunk (getting Poison Jabbed in the ass).
The third time this occurs, Okazaki remarks that that particular gag is getting old.
RUNNING GAG BIT SERIES
In a meta example, Bakuman｡ featured the main characters working on a light-hearted comedy manga, but only a bit more than 10 chapters in, they're already making entire chapters based on the running gag of the main character saying "I dunno about that." This serves as one of the signs that this isn't the right sort of series for them."It's like something we do Once an Episode." " What's funny about that?" In Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei, during an episode explaining many of the series' jokes to newer audiences, the audience member asks about the background running gags.Do not use this trope to Complain About Running Gags You Don't Like. Note: This is for In-Universe examples only. Okay, if it does that again, that audio equipment is gonna get a dose of C-4.

They should be based on whether the writers have reacted to its overuse (lampshaded or used it less), rather than just a feeling that the gag has been used too much.

Once that wears thin, one can expect the bit to be dropped like a Christmas ham- ham- ham- ham- ham- *SMACK* Then one can be sure to start seeing plenty of Lampshade Hanging and heavy subversion in the effort to keep the joke fresh, or tolerated. After a while, though, the writers will come to realize that the bit has started to peter out. Even if it isn't Once an Episode, it's still squeezed into the series wherever they see fit- fit- fit- fit- fit- *THUMP* But there are some jokes that the writers thought are just so funny that they should be used in another episode, and another, and another and another. Anyhow, the use of a Running Gag is generally constrained over the course of one episode. When the writers openly acknowledge that a Running Gag has run its due course, even as they are hauling it out again- gain- gain- gain- *WHACK* PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
