ネタ
Neta is a comedian's bit or material, but it stretches widely: news neta is a story, sushi neta is the topping, and netabare is a spoiler. Calling something a neta implies it is being played for effect rather than meant sincerely.
Examples in context
新しいネタを一つ考えてきた。
I came up with one new bit.
そのネタはもう古いよ。
That material is already old.
