* An episode of the old George Reeves Series/TheAdventuresOfSuperman is spent trying to prevent crooks from misusing a scientist's new supercomputer (an "electronic brain" in [[TheFifties those days]]) to deduce Superman's secret identity. After they've been stopped, the scientist (played by [[Disney/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Sterling Holloway]]) is alone with the machine and realizes he wants to know the answer himself, so he asks it. Its answer is a strip of ticker tape that says, "Wouldn't you like to know!"

* ''Action Comics'' #481, features the first appearance of the [[http://comicsalliance.com/files/2011/04/actioncomics481.jpg Supermobile]], a plane equipped with twin {{Rocket Punch}}es.

'''ComicBook/PowerGirl:''' Oh, Kara, Honey. That's a '''given'''.
* And then Prime dumbly yells that [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M7D1hE_0cz0/TTXbKomfTlI/AAAAAAAAEN4/q2N9DbYaCXY/s800/PrimeSupe03.jpg Superman is afraid of fighting him because he needs help of girls]]. Naturally, [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_M7D1hE_0cz0/TTXbKq3nBWI/AAAAAAAAEN8/XfQUhbadeqY/s800/PrimeSupe04.jpg Supergirl in Power Girl]] decide [[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_M7D1hE_0cz0/TTXbKg_ufiI/AAAAAAAAEOA/1gKFIEOKkMs/s800/PrimeSupe05.jpg punch him out of the planet]] for his sexist -and brainless- putdown. [[http://crisisonearthprime.blogspot.com.es/2011/01/friday-night-fights-fight-like-girl.html Summarized here]].
* In Issue #3 of ''Superman: American Alien'' Deathstroke tries to assassinate Bruce Wayne. He ends up mistaking [[NighInvulnerability Clark Kent]] for [[BadassNormal Bruce Wayne]]. The results are HILARIOUS, with Deathstroke giving Clark a neurotoxin that would kill a normal person that just makes Clark act like a goofy drunk, bending his sword into a mess trying to slice Clark in half, and Clark breaking the sword in half while proclaiming "Ta-dah! Sard borken" before flicking Deathstroke and sending him flying off of the cruise liner he was on.
* In Issue #5 of ''Superman: American Alien'', in the early days of his career the hero-that-will-be-called-Superman attempts to give a scary Batman-like threat to a bunch of criminals he's just apprehended about how the underworld should watch out for him from now on. He's not very good at it:
-->'''Clark:''' Okay guys... Don't do crimes. Don't do crimes... or... I'll fly down from the sky and getcha. Next time -- ''Wham! Pow!'' Um... Tell your friends I said that. ''[Flies off]''

* In ''Action Comics'' Issue #864, Superman and Lightning Lad are reminiscing old times when they hung out and played pranks on their fellow Legionnaires. Batman can't wrap his mind around the idea of Clark Kent, Mischief-Maker:

* The third issue of ''Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds" gives us the next exchange between Superboy-Prime and Superman:

* In ''Superman: Revenge'', Cyborg Superman gets stuck into the Phantom Zone as a result of the battle between the Superman Family and the Superman Revenge Squad. Both Kryptonian cousins agree he can ''stay'' in there.

* In ''Action Comics'' #481, there appears the [[http://comicsalliance.com/files/2011/04/actioncomics481.jpg Supermobile]], a plane equipped with twin {{Rocket Punch}}es.

* In the ComicBook/{{New 52}}, when Superman is first captured and studied by the military, they think he's a shapeshifter whose true form looks like a 5-legged goat creature. A flashback in a later issue reveals that the "alien" corpse they obtained was [[spoiler: a malformed stillborn goat the Kents had passed off as an alien corpse after discovering baby Kal-El, bribing the soldiers investigating the crash with the body so they could leave the area undisturbed with the normal-looking humanoid infant that was readily accepted as their son]].
* The Pax Galactica, an ancient group of space warriors, declare Superman their leader after he defeats their mortal foe, the Lexus. Superman's first order of business:
-->Go home. Find another quest.
** The Pax Galactica accepts.
* At the climax of the lengthy President Luthor story arc, Superman and Batman enlist the aid of a twelve-year old billionaire genius (who was using the "Toyman" name at the time) to build them a spaceship to destroy the kryptonite meteor racing toward Earth. Their expressions are priceless when they see that he has built it to look like a towering giant robot that looks like Superman on the right side and Batman on the left.
* The classic "Tales of the Bizarro World" stories.

* Mr. Mxyzptlk's debut story back in the GoldenAge.
-->[[ItMakesSenseInContext "Has anybody seen McGurk?"]]
* ''Superman/Wonder Woman'': Superman vs Apollo. A CurbStompBattle that will be remembered for the ages.
-->'''Superman''': [[LampshadeHanging You hit me with sunlight?]] [[PreAsskickingOneLiner You don't know very much about me, do you?]]
* Half of the Silver Age comic book covers have become [[{{Narm}} narmy]] and HilariousInHindsight. No wonder they gave birth to the concept of {{Superdickery}}.
* ''Action Comics'' v2 #40: N52 Superman's first visit to Bizarroworld. Stand-outs are the Injustice League's "clean-up" after Metallo, and "Injustice League! Hug the bunnies!".
** A bunch of cutesy fairy tale creatures think Superman's BadassBeard is not cute. So what do they do? ''They rip the beard off his face.'' Clean shave, indeed.
* A darkly funny moment from ''Batman/Superman'' #21, part of the ''ComicBook/SupermanTruth'' storyline: Clark's found himself reduced down to around his Golden Age power level, and his secret identity's been revealed to the world. While investigating a case, he finds a lead to Gotham, and decides to check in on Bruce. What he doesn't know, however, is that Bruce has disappeared, replaced by a new Batman in PoweredArmor...
-->'''Clark:''' [narrating] But if the threat's really coming from Gotham, I can talk to Bruce. I should have gone to him earlier, anyway. He'll help me figure this out...
-->[''[[DescriptionCut cut]] to Clark getting the stuffing pounded out of him by the new Batman'']
-->'''Clark:''' [narrating] Unless, of course, he's been replaced by a ''giant robot''.
* In Issue #3 of ''Superman: American Alien'' Deathstroke tries to assassinate Bruce Wayne. He ends up mistaking [[NighInvulnerability Clark Kent]] for [[BadassNormal Bruce Wayne]].

* From ''Superman: The Man of Steel'' #17 (one of the pre-Doomsday stories) has Superman break into the Underworld's hidden lair, and the creatures open fire with all sorts of firearms...only to have it all bounce off Kal harmlessly. The panel shows a close-up of Superman, looking positively ''bored''. "You're kidding me, right?"

* In ''Comicbook/ActionComics'' #402 "Feud of the Titans", Superman and Supergirl are accidentally exposed to a bio-chemical weapon which makes them hate each other. This story is both hilarious (both cousins are incredibly and ridiculously petty: Kara puts up an energy barrier to keep Kal off her side of the Fortress, and he retaliates by smashing her trophies) and scary (imagine they - two Earth-1 Kryptonians - decide to fight seriously. They would tear the planet apart).

* In ''Superman'' Volume 1 #176, Franchise/{{Superman}} and Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} celebrate a Kryptonian holyday called the Day of Truth in where Kryptonians honor the memory of an hero by speaking nothing but the truth, no matter the cost. The thing is, both cousins may be incredibly, astonishingly, rudely ''blunt''.
