Almost every page of the webcomic drawn in color can be said to tie into the clash between Dr. McNinja and King Radical, and the last couple chapters basically revolve around [[TraumaCongaLine the doctor getting kicked in the balls by the universe]] as he tries to finally put an end to this guy. When '''DRACULA, KING OF ALL VAMPIRES!''' happens to be present during their final confrontation, McNinja grabs him and uses him as a weapon to hit King Radical... [[TheCorruption fang-first]]. And as it happens, the Doctor spent his post-secondary education learning everything he could about vampires and what weapons will [[OneHitKill kill them instantly]].
-->'''Radical:''' A vampire? Did you turn me into a vampire?
-->'''[=McNinja=]:''' Yeah, "champion of the future". King "I am a force", whatever. Now you're a vampire. ''Just like all the others I killed in grad school.''
-->'''Radical:''' A vampire? Did you turn me into a vampire?
-->'''[=McNinja=]:''' Yeah, "champion of the future". King "I am a force", whatever. Now you're a vampire. ''Just like all the others I killed in grad school.''

* In ''Webcomic/RPGWorld'' Reka keeps fretting over the time when Galgarion killed her father, however, when she finally confronts Galgarion over the matter, he has no idea what she's talking about.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** Xykon needs more detail to figure out which old guy he killed in cold blood was Eugene Greenhilt's mentor:
--->'''Monster in the Darkness:''' You killed more than one guy named Fyron in Cliffport?\\
'''Xykon:''' Five, actually.
** And once Roy has narrowed it down to the exact date:
--->'''Xykon:''' [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0110.html Oh, right! Now I remember]]. Because it was Laundry Night, and I had trouble getting the blood out of my robes.
** It's gotten to the point where he doesn't even remember the guy who has engaged him several times and is [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0430.html chasing him around the world]]. You really start to wonder if he's just messing with him.
** Even within the comic itself, Xykon accumulates enough enemies to not-unreasonably believe that [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0901.html Roy is a "third stringer" not even worth taking the time to crush]], and even Redcloak is fuzzy on the specifics, though in his case, that was before he met Xykon and was in no way involved with the murder of Eugene's mentor, so he could be forgiven for not remembering why Roy was after them in the first place. That being said, it took even Redcloak a while to realise Roy was specifically working against them.
--->'''Redcloak:''' Yeah, but you're forgetting that Greenhilt has some...thing...about his father, I think? Crap.
** Hilariously, when the Order is trapped in a LotusEaterMachine that makes them believe they have encountered Xykon, killed him and had all their dreams come true, Fake!Xykon's initial reaction to Roy is just "Not this guy again". On the other hand, the fact that he recognizes Roy ''at all'' could be seen as the first indication that they are trapped in a LotusEaterMachine.
** Even when [[spoiler:Evil!Vaarsuvius]] teleports into his throne room for a duel, Xykon doesn't bother asking why they're there, and reacts to it more like "Oh, look. Another one."
--->'''Jirix''': What the hell is going on!?
--->'''Redcloak''': What, this? You'd be surprised how many people pop in to kill you when you're doing an evil scheme. Remind me when this is over: I'll tell you about the time, back in the day, a dozen druids jumped out of our potted fern.
** Xykon also [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0459.html exploits this trope]] at times [[ForTheEvulz just because he finds it funny to piss off the good guys]]. Note that he's referring to something that happened about five minutes earlier.
--->'''Xykon:''' Hey! Paladin dude! Do you know what the best part about killing the entire Sapphire Guard was? Neither do I. I wasn't actually paying attention when I did it.
** And another ''Order of the Stick'' [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0257.html example]]:
--->'''[[AlphaBitch Julia]]:''' Hey! [[HalfHumanHybrid You with the ear]]. Don't I know you from somewhere?\\
'''Pompey:''' I did ask you out once. Per week. [[StalkerWithACrush For three semesters.]]\\
'''Julia:''' So no chance of you narrowing it down for me, then?
** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0788.html Thog has it, too]]. By this point it seems to have become a BerserkButton for Roy. Notably he remembers all his on-panel crimes, but the off-panel ones he has problems with.
* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'':
** "[[DesignatedHero Heroic]]" [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/04/25/episode-1121-loose-lips-sink-light-warriors/ example]]:
--->'''Thief:''' Turns out the Dark Warriors ''and'' the fiends want us dead.
--->'''Red Mage:''' What?
--->'''Thief:''' Yeah, I don't get it either. Something about revenge for ''ruining'' their lives forever.
--->'''Black Mage:''' Oh, we've ruined millions of lives. They're just being babies about it.
** Black Mage (and the entire group) get [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/05/28/episode-1133-pretty-obvious-really/ another example]] when [[spoiler:Sarda claims to be [[ButtMonkey Onion Kid]], whose life Black Mage had ruined numerous times]].
--->'''[[spoiler:Sarda]]:''' But I started out as this young man!\\
''[{{Beat}}]''\\
'''Red Mage:''' I don't know who that is.\\
'''Thief:''' All humans look alike. Which is to say, ugly.\\
'''[[spoiler:Sarda]]:''' That is a child who '''watched you''' slaughter his parents.\\
'''Black Mage:''' Gonna have to be more specific.\\
'''[[spoiler:Sarda]]:''' After you broke his mind with a glimpse into the dread lattice of black magic, you killed his foster family. Then his other foster family. Then you destroyed his orphanage.\\
'''Black Mage:''' Like, was this ''recently''? Last week? A month ago? Help a guy out, will ya.
* Appeared in ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'' in the strip [[http://yafgc.net/comic/0955-glitterbranch-and-arachne-2/ "Glitterbranch and Arachne"]]:
-->'''Prince Glitterbranch:''' This is about ''revenge''.\\
'''Arachne:''' I guessed that much. More info please.\\
'''Prince Glitterbranch:''' You jilted me. Ignored my advances!\\
'''Arachne:''' Uh... more?\\
'''Prince Glitterbranch:''' You seduced and corrupted my own sister! Right in front of me!\\
'''Arachne:''' Uh... nope. We need to narrow the field.\\
'''Prince Glitterbranch:''' On the surface? In the Forest? I was A MAN!\\
'''Arachne:''' Look. A girl's got hobbies. Was there anything unique about it?
* Bun-Bun in ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' has killed a ''lot'' of people, so this trope was bound to show up eventually. In one of the Halloween arcs, [[http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=991110 the spirit of Christmas Elf Mr. Squeaky-Bobo]] comes back from the Dimension of Pain and, upon encountering his murderer, angrily tells him he is next on the list. Bun-Bun not only doesn't remember him, but mistakes him for a [[BlandNameProduct Neebler Elf]] instead.
* ''Webcomic/VanVonHunter'': Vengeance Joe is an odd case of this. For the day they met was, to Van Von Hunter, [[ButForMeItWasTuesday just another Tuesday]]...but for Vengeance Joe, that was the day that Van Von Hunter ''neglected to introduce himself'' (and probably an otherwise reasonably nice Tuesday)! [[DisproportionateRetribution And so Vengeance Joe swore eternal vengeance]].
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
** Klaus Wulfenbach has damaged so many lives that when he is unconscious in a hospital, Gil has to defend him against dozens of assassin attempts, the first of which sets a precedent for the unimportance of motive (as seen in this [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070514 elegant and finely-crafted link]]).
-->'''Gil:''' Why? Because Wulfenbach troops turned her village into owls, or maybe we deposed her favorite mad prince, or hung her lover for piracy, or banished the Heterodyne boys or poisoned the well or raised the price of herring -- that's not the ''point''.
** A particular favorite from the endless stream, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070615 below]]:
--->'''Insect Clank:''' DEATH TO THE DESPOILER OF EAST KRUMINNEY!!\\
'''Dr. Sun:''' ...East what?\\
'''Gil:''' ''Not really important!''\\
'''Dr. Sun:''' I suppose not.
* Once in ''Webcomic/ScaryGoRound'', two gentlemen were talking. One asks the other if he has any (illegitimate) children; the other responds to the effect that a bear may not know how many insects he tramples as he treads through the forest, he knows only that there were many. Creepy.
* [[http://www.asofterworld.com/index.php?id=567 This strip]] of ''Webcomic/ASofterWorld''.
* Arthur and Sedrick from ''[[Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfWiglafAndMordred Wiglaf and Mordred]]'' have no memory of Gawain at all--despite having run into him on at least eight occasions--all of which resulted in him being [[OurZombiesAreDifferent shot in the head]]. So in other words, Sedrick has killed enough people that he hasn't noticed he's "killed" the same person ''eight'' times.
* Heroic inversion in ''Webcomic/SamAndFuzzy'' when [[http://samandfuzzy.com/754 Gertrude starts blabbing off the laundry list]] of [[http://samandfuzzy.com/741 all]] [[http://samandfuzzy.com/742 the]] [[http://samandfuzzy.com/743 wrongs]] [[http://samandfuzzy.com/744 Sam]] [[http://samandfuzzy.com/745 has]] [[http://samandfuzzy.com/746 inadvertently]] [[http://samandfuzzy.com/749 inflicted upon her]]. Sam doesn't remember (or is plain unaware of) any of it nor who she is for that matter. It's then subverted when she finishes off with [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking "gave me exceptionally poor taxi service"]], which Sam leads to conclude is "probably true".
* Invoked in ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' when Thaco finally gets his revenge on the Goblin Slayer, informing him that he'll consider this battle a "random encounter" and that there will be no stories or legends told about it. This infuriates the villain, who considered himself a legendary enemy of goblins, greatly. Just to rub salt in the wound, he survives that battle only to die as an actual random encounter against a human fighter who's never heard of him.
* In ''Muertitos'' [[http://muertitos.comicgenesis.com/d/20060808.html here]]: "Which Ursula Cowznofski whose life I ruined? 'Cause there's, like, four."
* ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'':
** In the strip [[http://nonadventures.com/2009/02/14/monster-mashup/ "Monster MASHUP"]]:
--->'''Wonderella:''' Who the Christ are ''you?''\\
'''Devlin:''' Er, I'm Devlin! You drove us off a cliff and nearly ''killed'' me last year, remember? Hell, we got ''married'' two years ago!\\
'''Wonderella:''' I marry or nearly kill ''lots'' of guys. You'll have to be more specific.
** Wonderita describes being abducted as her "Tuesday night thing" in [[http://nonadventures.com/2014/03/01/isnt-it-psionic/ "Isn't it PSIONIC"]]. Ironically, the villain of the strip is enraged that both Wonderella and Wonderita completely fail to remember her, but it turns into an inversion when it's revealed that her psionic powers wipe their memories after every encounter.
* Leo Modesto's Nuzlocke challenge of Touhoumon has this with Babs and the rival's Patchouli, [[spoiler:who was responsible for killing Bab's partner and best friend. Given the nature of Nuzlocke challenges, it doesn't end well]].
* Inverted with ''Webcomic/DubiousCompany'''s Sal. She is [[RunningGag kidnapped so often]] that she treats them like filling out tedious paperwork and interrupts the kidnappers with small talk or [[ShutUpHannibal criticism]], much to their annoyance or disappointment. Heck, Izor's [[HumanSacrifice sacrificial]]-lamb [[BatmanGambit gambit]] and some guy that had a [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty crush]] on her [[SubvertedTrope cousin]] are the only kidnappings she distinctly remembers.
-->'''[[TheDragon Izor]]:''' But...but I had a speech and everything.
-->'''Sal:''' You just want to do your speech, don't you? Well, I don't care!
* The main cast of ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' discovered in their facility a lot of armed intruders unavailable for questioning due to various horrible accidents involving local pets and appliances.
-->'''Rogue:''' [[http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2012-02-27/comic/the-bookend-of-unimaginable-power/do-you-know-the-mcguffin-man/ So we pissed somebody off]] and they want to kill us? Wow, ''that'' narrows it down.
* In ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'', the AuthorAvatar appears, DeusExMachina, to save the comic after Protoman killed Dr. Light. [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000505c Protoman doesn't remember that]].
* Subverted in [[http://battlepug.com/2012/10/29/this-is-how-you-die/ this page]] of ''Webcomic/{{Battlepug}}''--turns out, Catwulf ''does'' remember wiping out the Kinmundians, and he is ''not'' pleased to find out [[LastOfHisKind one survived]].
* In ''Webcomic/DragonMango'', [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter03/dm03-07.htm some attacked the farm that Mango defended. Then they returned for revenge. She asks who they are, since a lot of monsters attacked the farm]].
* In ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'', Axel isn't interested in getting ''Grand Theft Auto'' because all the murder, crime, and violence in the games is "shit I did last Tuesday!"
-->'''Axel:''' Today's Wednesday. I always kill orphans on Wednesday.
* ''Webcomic/{{Vexxarr}}'' has this with accidental screw-ups. Name-dropped almost literally [[http://www.vexxarr.com/archive.php?seldate=052312 here]]. Earlier, there was this exchange:
-->'''Vexxarr:''' Everybody on the ship. Time to leave.\\
'''Minionbot:''' Have we yet again condemned an otherwise-innocent species to a brutal and premature extinction?\\
'''Vexxarr:''' What makes you say that?\\
'''Minionbot:''' It is a Thursday?
* In ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'', Kria Soulstealer has caused so much mayhem and death in her centuries-long life that she can't be bothered to recall specific atrocities. It's gotten to the point where she ''expects'' and isn't even fazed by revenge-fueled assassination attempts every time she travels.
* ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'': Fenton to Lindesfarne about carrying another person around. [[spoiler:They've just learned she's pregnant, and she was waxing poetic about carrying a living being with her.]]
* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fan comic ''WebComic/TrixieVs'' has Trixie being [[Literature/AChristmasCarol visited by a spirit on Hearts Warming Eve to try and help her turn her life around]]... who she apparently has met before, on other attempts to teach her this lesson, often enough, that she does not even seem to surprised to see her and just casually tells to wait, while she gets dressed.
* In a variation on the normal morality behind usual instances of this trope, ''WebComic/QuestionableContent'' has [[GentleGiant Elliot]] [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3515 not recall]] helping [[{{Cyborg}} Clinton]] before. He works as a bouncer, and so kicks out troublemakers from the Horrible Revelation bar all the time.
* In ''Webcomic/ItHurts'', Pasqualo tracks down the space rhinos that [[spoiler:killed him and all his friends]] and enacts [[CurbStompBattle brutal revenge]] on them. However, he is fully aware that due to their brutal nature [[spoiler:and the passage of over 3,000 years]] they don't remember him, resulting in this speech to the rhino leader.
-->'''Pasqualo:''' You probably don't remember me. [[ShoutOut How's it go again?]] [[Film/StreetFighter "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."]] Suffice to say, I'm one of the many unfortunate little people in this universe you left crushed underneath your boots.
* ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'': Having lost control of the adventure a long time ago, the GM opts to plan ahead to deliver karma unto the players, usually in the form of consequences for thoughtless actions they took and forgot about. [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0283.html The author's comments]] encourage aspiring [=GMs=] to pull this on their unsuspecting players.

* ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'': Fenton to Lindesfarne about carrying another person around. [[spoiler:They've just learned she's pregnant, and she was waxing poetic about carrying a living being with her.]]
* The ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' fan comic ''WebComic/TrixieVs'' has Trixie being [[Literature/AChristmasCarol visited by a spirit on Hearts Warming Eve to try and help her turn her life around]]... who she apparently has met before, on other attempts to teach her this lesson, often enough, that she does not even seem to surprised to see her and just casually tells to wait, while she gets dressed.
* In a variation on the normal morality behind usual instances of this trope, ''WebComic/QuestionableContent'' has [[GentleGiant Elliot]] [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3515 not recall]] helping [[{{Cyborg}} Clinton]] before. He works as a bouncer, and so kicks out troublemakers from the Horrible Revelation bar all the time.
* In ''Webcomic/ItHurts'', Pasqualo tracks down the space rhinos that [[spoiler:killed him and all his friends]] and enacts [[CurbStompBattle brutal revenge]] on them. However, he is fully aware that due to their brutal nature [[spoiler:and the passage of over 3,000 years]] they don't remember him, resulting in this speech to the rhino leader.
-->'''Pasqualo:''' You probably don't remember me. [[ShoutOut How's it go again?]] [[Film/StreetFighter "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday."]] Suffice to say, I'm one of the many unfortunate little people in this universe you left crushed underneath your boots.
* ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'': Having lost control of the adventure a long time ago, the GM opts to plan ahead to deliver karma unto the players, usually in the form of consequences for thoughtless actions they took and forgot about. [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0283.html The author's comments]] encourage aspiring [=GMs=] to pull this on their unsuspecting players.
