atomic reprise

A comedic technique in which the performer repeats a joke's punchline so many times as to render the joke irrelevant and absurd.
The atomic reprise was first used to great effect by Andy Kaufman, subsequently popularized by Mike Myers (Austin Powers) and Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy).
