History Funny / JudgeDredd

* During ''The Apocalypse War'', Mega City one launches ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill twenty five]]'' [[NukeEm TADs]] at East Meg One. For reference, each TAD is capable of destroying a Mega City twice over. [[SovietSuperscience The East Meggers activate]] [[SuperweaponSurprise "The Apocalypse Warp"]], a shield that transports missiles into an AlternateReality. The reality the nukes arrive in is a NewAgeRetroHippie earth where peace has reigned for two hundred years. The hippies all look up, noting how pretty the nukes look, before [[BlackComedy the earth is literally shattered]].

* Fergie's panic when he realises the Angel Family are going to eat him.

** A Judge sent to assassinate Dredd reports back to Cal, but the Chief Judge had ripped a button off his uniform. Cal orders him to strip and tells him he'll perform his duties wearing only his boots, helmet... and [[GoofyPrintUnderwear red polka-dot underwear.]]

* During the Batman Vs Judge Dredd Crossover, the two duke it out one on one, in a playground. Complete with Batman being hit in the crotch by a seesaw and Dredd being hit on the head by a swingset.

* [[EnsembleDarkhorse Public Defender 314]]'s habit of calling its actions. [[{{Beat}} Pause For Emphasis]].
* Mean Machine Angel as a PrivateInvestigator in the ''Alternity'' special. The [[UnreliableNarrator Unreliable]] PrivateEyeMonologue which details his "cases" (which are essentially just {{Bar Brawl}}s that blunderingly end up pissing off TheMafia) is just downright hilarious.

* A funny little moment in an otherwise grim story happens in "America 2: Fading Of The Light". The [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscars]] are still around, but are now nicknamed the [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Arnies]].

* In an early story, shortly after Dredd returns from Luna-1 he starts a casual walk down the street where he ''gently reminds'' a group of armed robbers that their actions are illegal and tells another man that he can't do anything about the bar brawl but that the Justice Department will help all while smiling pleasantly. [[spoiler: Then he gets given his reinstatement papers and within five minutes turns into the grumpy, aggressive Dredd we know and love]].

* "Sleeping Duty" features a trio of perps who break into what they think to be an evidence lockup, but what turns out to be a waystation where Dredd is making use of a sleep machine. With only a few minutes before he wakes, they discuss what to do. [[TheDreaded His reputation]] as a MemeticBadass and being MadeOfIron are lampshaded as they know that killing him or running won't work. Their solution? [[TakeAThirdOption Tie themselves up to save him the trouble]].

** Just generally the entire scene where Dredd and Rico decide to settle things [[HamToHamCombat ham to ham]].

* A meta example occurred when the film was adapted into a serialised strip in the ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers News Of The World]]'' with veteran ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' artist Ron Smith drawing it. Originally, it was intended to have Dredd drawn as Creator/SylvesterStallone in order to stay faithful to the film until Stallone's agent told Smith that he'd have to pay Stallone to use his likeness. Smith's response was to draw Dredd to resemble
Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger instead.

** Later, a pair of Judges let Dredd escape because they've realized that Judge Cal is insane. The Judge in charge of their punishment knows they're right, but is afraid of Cal's reaction. So he orders them to wear women's clothing and claims Judge [[spoiler:Fish]] assigned the punishment. The best part is that ''Cal buys it''.
