* In the ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'' [[BSideComic NPC]] story, "The Hctib Diaries", every time Hctib complains about his job or something the clipboard demon did to him, the clipboard demon sarcastically says, "You know we're demons, right?" Toward the end, the clipboard demon says that he and Hctib's wife [[spoiler:who's been sleeping with him]] are worried about him because of everything that's gone wrong and asks him how he's doing. After a {{beat}}, Hctib [[spoiler:[[HoistbyHisOwnPetard brains and slaughters the other demon with his own clipboard]]]] and yells, "YOUKNOWWE'REDEMONSRIGHT?"

* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': Robdevil was hired as a bodyguard for the SpoiledBrat Prince on the basis of his claim to be the famous Regular nicknamed "Devil's Right Arm". During a competition of strength for Regulars, he steps forward and tells the previous highest scorer, Horyang, "Hey, pal. Have you ever seen a real devil? Let me show you one." before activating the SuperMode in his right arm and using it to take the lead in the contest. Later, after Robdevil has betrayed and beaten up Prince, Horyang shows up in their room and says "Hey, bruiser. Have you ever seen a real devil? Let me show you the one living in my right arm. Let's see who the real devil is." before activating the power in ''his'' right arm that originally inspired the nickname "Devil's Right Arm", and delivering a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' fancomic ''Tag Dream'' about a tag-team professional wrestling-style tournament, when Flandre and Meiling fight Sanae and Suwako, Flandre launches into a technique designed for fighting extremely physically tough Oni to use against the human Sanae. Meling warns her that they'll be disqualified if they kill an opponent, but Flandre says losing like that would be fine. Later in the match, with Sanae unconscious and receiving medical treatment, Flandre weakened by garlic, and Suwako systematically breaking Meiling's bones rather than pinning her, Flandre tells Suwako to stop or Meiling might die, and Suwako says losing like that would be fine.

* Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}: Credenza and Raven have a bit of back-and-forth in Book 7, involving the line: "Of course. It's only okay when ''you'' do it."

* ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'': "I love you." "Not enough." Note that ''both'' characters who say it are ironically echoing the other. Isn't time travel fun?
* In ''Webcomic/ItsWalky'', Walky tells [[http://www.joyceandwalky.com/d/20020504.html Joyce]] "You ''are'' beautiful, Joyce. It's the world that's ugly." Joyce later uses [[http://www.joyceandwalky.com/d/20020624.html this line on his sister]], Sal, in an attempt to talk her down from her [[FoeTossingCharge Homicidal Rage]].
* In ''Webcomic/NoRestForTheWicked'', Perrault tells November "You could always turn around and go home." Then, they meet Red. Somewhat later, following her through the woods, November repeats the line to Perrault.
* ''Webcomic/AMiracleOfScience'' has two, "That, gentlemen, is the sound of conquest" and [[spoiler:"Behold, the Martian invasion fleet."]] The first one is used by [[spoiler:Ben first in the flashback as a MadScientist trying to take over the moon, and later by Ben when he is confronting Haas.]] The second one is used [[spoiler:first jokingly by Caprice, but then seriously by Ben in the end]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' has the confrontation in the sewer between Delyn and Thaco when Thaco parrots Delyn's "Bleed for me" line after [[spoiler:pinning him on a broken sewer pipe.]]

* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' prequel book ''StartOfDarkness'', wizards repeatedly act condescendingly to Xykon, a sorcerer; wizardry, which comes through study, is like a "finely-tuned watch," while sorcery, which comes naturally, is unwieldy like "a rubber hammer." Later, when Dorukan uses the same line, Xykon [[spoiler:repeatedly hits him with Energy Drain spells, making Dorukan's own magic impossible while slowly killing him. Xykon points out that even if his magic is less sophisticated, the fact is that at a certain level of power no strategy can work against you, and right before killing him mocks that Dorukan can "keep [his] finely tuned watch -- Give me a sledgehammer to the face any day."]]

* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}''. [[http://xkcd.com/55/ "My normal approach]] [[http://xkcd.com/881/ is useless here too."]] The first time it's a lighthearted joke about trying to solve love with math. The second time... not so much.

** ''Next Panel'':
-->'''Rogue''': Think we should tell them they're running ''towards'' the big one?
-->'''Lothar''': Balls to that, they don't pay us enough.
* ''Webcomic/SketchComedy'': Susan [[http://thesketchy.com/ic/2013/05/09/fame unwittingly delivers]] an ironic echo to Karen. In sign language, no less.

* ''Webcomic/LeftoverSoup'' has "What are you doing?" "I want my ten damn mayhem points, that's what I'm doing." In context: The cast is playing an RPG one of them invented in which, among other things, getting your character laid is worth a guaranteed ten "mayhem points", which work like action points and are awarded directly by the GM for doing something awesome.

Odd, because Chaz wasn't even glowing red on the later occasion...
** Also, there's "Weird girl, Sasha," which gets repeated over and over again by almost all the (sane) characters... and then Sasha gets a chance to throw it back at them : "Weird guy, [[spoiler:Torg]]"
