** In ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 2005 story arc]]'' ''ComicBook/GirlPower'', ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} meets Starfire, who tells her she has some of the answers she is looking for.
--->'''Supergirl:''' (thinking) What would a girl who comes from another planet in a faraway galaxy know about — Oh. Says me, the girl from another planet in a far... Huh.
** ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'': While Clark and Lois were debating how to explain his absence during his death, Clark suggested several extremely stupid explanations, including riptides and alien abductions. When Lois asked him what idiots would buy such pathetic excuses, he said: "You did."

** In ''ComicBook/SupermanVsShazam'', Supergirl gets annoyed by Mary Marvel constantly gushing over her cousin. Kara finally runs out of patience when Mary flirts with Superman, so she flirts with Mary's brother in retaliation. Mary instantly pushes both heroes apart, tells Kara off, and starts berating Captain Marvel when Supergirl basically tells "Go ahead, Mary. Tell him why he should not flirth with someone older than him." Mary Marvel turns red in embarrassment.

--->'''Jimmy Olsen:''' ''"You're welcome, chief. [...]"''\\
'''Perry White:''' ''"You're lucky I'm in a good mood, Olsen. I've told you a million times-- Don't call me chief!"''\\
'''Jimmy Olsen:''' ''"Don't worry, chief-- I'll never do it again!"''

** In ''ComicBook/TheTransformersRobotsInDisguise'', at one point, Kup pokes fun at Wheelie's [[RhymesOnADime rhyming]], then feels bad and comments that it can't be easy having absurd speech patterns. Kup in the IDW comics sounds like [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes a robotic Yosemite Sam]].

** In ''Asterix and the Normans'', Asterix and Obelix are ordered by Chief Vitalstatistix to see what a group of Norman invaders are doing in Gaul. On their return, Obelix reports to the chief that the Normans all "had such funny names, [[ThemeNaming all ending in -af]], like [[PunnyName Nescaf, Decaf and Autograf]]!" Vitalstatistix is highly amused, and says to the other Gaulish villagers: "Ha ha! Did you hear that, Cacofonix, Geriatrix, Operatix, Acoustix, Polyphonix and Harmonix?"

** In ''Asterix and the Big Fight'', a psychiatrist druid mistakenly thinks Obelix is his patient, and begins telling him there is no reason to feel bad because he is too fat. When Asterix tells him Obelix did not come here to consult, the druid comments in surprise that ''he'' would feel bad if he were that fat.
** In ''Asterix and the Chieftain's Daughter'', after being told by Getafix that violence is pointless when educating teenagers, Obelix breaks yet another fight between Fulliautomatix and Unhygienix... by bashing them both with a menhir while yelling at them that violence is pointless.
** The English translation of ''Asterix and the Griffin'' repeats the gag from ''Asterix and the Normans'' by having Obelix be amused that the Sarmatians' names all end in -ov. (The original French does something slightly different that isn't an example of this trope.)

* In ''ComicBook/TheTransformersRobotsInDisguise'', at one point, Kup pokes fun at Wheelie's [[RhymesOnADime rhyming]], then feels bad and comments that it can't be easy having absurd speech patterns. Kup in the IDW comics sounds like [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes a robotic Yosemite Sam]].

** In one ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'' story, Superman and Batman get [[LetsYouAndHimFight forced into a fight]] with a superhero team called [[ComicBook/TheUltimates The Maximums]]. When it is revealed that the Maximums' ComicBook/IncredibleHulk {{Expy}} is a little girl in her true form, Batman is furious and yells, "[[WhatTheHellHero You brought a]] ''[[WhatTheHellHero child]]'' [[WhatTheHellHero into this conflict!?]]" Batman, who has many child sidekicks.

* In an early issue of ''Comicbook/JusticeLeagueInternational'', in a discussion of [[Franchise/GreenLantern Guy Gardner]]:

'''Franchise/{{Batman}}:''' It would only get in my way.\\

** In ''[[ComicBook/Supergirl2005 2005 story arc]]'' ''Girl Power'', ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} meets Starfire, who tells her she has some of the answers she is looking for.

* In the ''ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse'':
** Creator/CarlBarks's comic story "Only a Poor Old Man" had Uncle Scrooge lecturing WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck on how Donald would be more secure if he had wealth. While making sure a mouse didn't eat his dollar bills.

** That's a recurring joke, too. In another Don Rosa comic, "The Treasury of Croesus", Scrooge uncovers the money bin of king Croesus, who had left a room for his first coin. A historian comments: "Who would have guessed someone would be crazy enough to consider a single coin his greatest treasure?" Scrooge isn't amused.

* In one panel of ''Comicbook/GothamCitySirens'', Batman makes a teeth-baringly horrific face while telling Riddler, "You're not helping people by scaring them."
* A rather dark example in ''ComicBook/{{Huntress}}: Year One'': Barbara Gordon and two colleagues from the justice department are attending a conference on organized crime in Italy when the news comes out of the murder of notorious crime boss, Capo di Tutti Capi Stephen Mandragora, and they toast his death at a local bar. A woman at the bar berates them for this, saying "'''Never''' toast someone's death," and that "it's naive to think death solves anything." All of which sounds quite reasonable, except that the woman at the bar, Helena Bertinelli, the Huntress, is the one who killed him!

* In ''[[ComicBook/{{Melusine}} Mélusine]]'', [[CuteWitch Mélusine]] has a disagreement with her cousin [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Mélisande]]. Mélisande leave to clear her head and Mélusine muses how pathetic fairy magic is. She then start having fun playing with Mélisande's magic wand and conjure pastries and [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter cute furry animals]]. When Mélisande comes back and caught her, Mélusine sheepishly tries to pass it off as scientific curiosity.
* ''ComicBook/MortadeloYFilemon'':
** In "El nuevo cate", one of the priests that comes to the T.I.A. building prevents Mortadelo and Filemón from killing a cockroach and gives them a long speech about the sanctity of life that gives them a brutal headache... but when another agent appears with a machine gun and tells the priest he is going to kill several criminals, the priest only blesses him and sends him on his way.
** Actually, priests and clergymen fall often under this trope. They are almost always depicted as very obese people that eat and drink copiously, then donate a small coin to feed the poor "because gluttony is a sin". Another strip had a slender middle-aged priest deliver a pious sermon about resisting temptation and lust. The next panel depicts the priest's private life: dancing in a night club with two floozies.

* It's not drawn attention to, but in ''ComicBook/SupermanSonOfKalEl'', Jay and Robin encounter each other when they're trying to get information from a secure facility to help Jon, and shortly after they realise they're on the same side, Lois appears and says they're both trying to help, and it's very sweet, but it's still breaking and entering. Nobody feels like pointing out she is ''also'' in the facility, and wearing a labcoat and a S.T.A.R. Labs ID badge.

* ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers'' features another one for Batman as the Justice League enters the Marvel Universe. Aquaman and Green Lantern see Doctor Doom? He tells them to ignore him. Wonder Woman and the Martian Manhunter see the ruins of Genosha? Again, he says to ignore it. Superman sees the Hulk on a rampage? [[RuleOfThree Yet again, he says to ignore it.]] Bats himself and Plastic Man see the Punisher about to kill some drug dealers? Bruce Wayne proceeds to beat the shit out of Frank Castle. Plastic Man [[WhatTheHellHero calling out his hypocrisy]] is the page image of the series' [[Funny/JLAAvengers Crowning Moment of Funny page]].

* In [[http://pics.livejournal.com/uadlika/pic/00075z0y an issue]] of ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'', [[KidHero Misfit]] tells [[Comicbook/NewGods Big Barda]] she can't stand watching ComicBook/BlackCanary's adopted daughter. Misfit goes on a rant about how little girls are annoying. Barda agrees with that statement.

* In the ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse:

-->'''Supergirl:''' (thinking) What would a girl who comes from another planet in a faraway galaxy know about — Oh. Says me, the girl from another planet in a far... Huh.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
** While Clark and ComicBook/{{Lois|Lane}} were debating how to explain his absence during [[DeathIsCheap his death]] (don't ask, long story), Clark suggested several [[ClarkKenting extremely stupid]] explanations, including riptides and alien abductions. When Lois asked him what idiots would buy such pathetic excuses, he said: "You did."

* In one ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman'' story, Superman and Batman get [[LetsYouAndHimFight forced into a fight]] with a superhero team called [[ComicBook/TheUltimates The Maximums]]. When it is revealed that the Maximums' Comicbook/IncredibleHulk {{Expy}} is a little girl in her true form, Batman is furious and yells, "[[WhatTheHellHero You brought a]] ''[[WhatTheHellHero child]]'' [[WhatTheHellHero into this conflict!?]]" Batman, who has many child sidekicks.
* In the ''Comicbook/TeenTitans Comicbook/LegionOfSuperheroes'' one-shot, Beast Boy -- who has been a member of multiple incarnations of the Titans based in a building shaped like a giant T -- makes fun of Legion HQ for being shaped like a giant L.

* In an early issue of ''Comicbook/YoungJustice'', [[Franchise/TheFlash Impulse]], who acts without forethought ''or'' afterthought ''100% of the time'', said "Boy, don't you hate it when people go off and do whatever they feel like?" after ComicBook/{{Superboy}} headed out to confront a villain alone.

** In ''Asterix and the Big Fight'', a psychiatrist druid mistakenly thinks Obelix is his patient, and begins telling him there is no reason to feel bad because he is too fat.

* In an issue of ''Comicbook/GlobalFrequency'' a man claiming to be a magician (as in a proper one) is brought in, and claims that magic is a 'psychological discipline'. One of the people he's working with, a parapsychologist, makes a sneering comment about this. The magician is amused by the parapsychologist's superiority, pointing out that it's not as if her field is part of the rational orthodoxy. The parapsychologist is less amused by this.

* A holiday special based on the ''Film/{{Clerks}}'' universe has comic book shop owners Steve-Dave and Walt head to the Quick-Stop because that's the only open store and Steve-Dave needs to pick up some Scotch tape to wrap up some last-minute gifts. As he proceeds to berate Dante for charging what he feels is an outrageous price for the tape, another costumer recognizes him and asks if he has any issues of a new title that just came out, to which Steve-Dave replies that it'll cost him $20.
* Creator/StanLee in ''The Origins of Creator/MarvelComics'':
--> "If you read the first two spellbinding parts of this literary landmark, [[BlatantLies you know how I hate to boast]]."

* In an ''ComicBook/{{Archie Comic|s}}'', Archie, Betty, and Veronica are at the beach. The girls refuse to sit near the lifeguard as they usually do because they hired a woman lifeguard.

* In a bit of a dark way, as Paul was despairing at the time, but upon seeing his son in a newly donned Ghost Fox costume taking on a bank robber, the [[ComicBook/TheFoxHunt titular Fox]] can't help but wonder who gave his son the crazy idea of becoming a crime fighting vigilante.

** As part of a plan to become Caliph instead of the Caliph, Iznogoud tricks a porter whose role as Iznogoud's UnwittingPawn will get him decapitated if the plan works.
