   • 2020 December 9, Gwendolyn Ann Smith, “One Joke too Many”, in Pride Source‎^[1]:

     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^[2]:

     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^[3]:

     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.
