History HeroicBSOD / Webcomics

** The prospect of dating two girls at once is too much for Gary; Zii and [=DiDi=] find him lying on the floor in a TroubledFetalPosition. He gets another, consciousness-destroying BSOD when he realizes that he has just [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/can_i_have_your eaten out his favorite porn star while blindfolded]] (it's a long story), and suffers similar effects on other occasions.
** Zii seems to blue-screen as she realizes that [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/like_any_other Erik may be more than a quick fling to her.]]
** Allie the waitress occasionally suffers minor shut-downs in the face of her colleague Sonya's odder behaviour, leading to reactions such as [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/mad%EF%BC%9F_mad%EF%BC%9F dropped coffee jugs]] [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/you_take_the_initiative and trays.]]

** Seconds later, [[http://www.stickydillybuns.com/strips-sdb/your_expectations_of_me she suffers a more serious BSOD,]] which lasts for some time and multiple strips -- simply because of the prospect of her first kiss.

** In "Wayang Kulit", Torg, Kiki and Bun-bun enter a shadow world where the local beings basically try to induce a HeroicBSOD in anyone coming there to make them stay forever. [[PlayedForLaughs Kiki is driven to despair over some toast.]] Torg is faced with visions of the events in "That Which Redeems" and more about how women who love him or whom he loves are doomed and breaks down, hiding from the images in a castle created for him and claiming to be happy there.

* Mecha Maid from ''Webcomic/Spinnerette'' goes through this with the arrival of Colonel Glass and her implied suicidal feelings due to her ALS. [[spoiler: She then tried a suicide mission to destroy him that ended up with her suit disabled and Colonel Glass deciding to spare her because of her ALS. After Spinny kills Colonel Glass, she is shown lying in bed, depressed.

He gets over it quickly though and vows to [[MercyKill set things right.]]

** Still in "That Which Redeems", Torg goes through a mild one of these after [[spoiler:an AlternateUniverse version of Zoë he'd been dating]] dies, and immediately jumps to Roaring Rampage Of Revenge mode.
