    • 2020 December 9, Gwendolyn Ann Smith, “One Joke too Many”, in Pride Source:
      I should add that Gilliam also made that one joke during his aforementioned rants about #MeToo, saying he identifies as, "a melanin-light male."
    • 2022 May 25, Steve Albini (quoted), Will Richards, “Steve Albini hits out at Ricky Gervais' "fucked up" Netflix special”, in NME:
      I have seen fucked up things that suck before and I already know the joke. They only have the one joke. Anti-woke trans-bash comedians are cultivating an audience I want very much not to be a part of.
    • 2022 May 30, Dani Di Placido, “Ricky Gervais Has Become The Man He Used To Mock”, in Forbes:
      When it boils down to it, there is only one transphobic joke, and it repeats itself ad infinitum - indeed, the joke is so stale that there’s a whole subreddit (r/onejoke) that exists to parody it. Without the "one joke," comedians like Gervais and Dave Chappelle would have to figure out some fresh material - the Babylon Bee would go out of business entirely.
  2. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see one,‎ joke.
