* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'', season 1 episode 2, where it's actually a character just being reasonable:

* ''Webcomic/{{Rain}}'':

* Subverted in the ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' cartoon "Bug in Mouth Disease". Strong Bad is watching a ''[[ShowWithinAShow Caleb Rentpayer]]'' marathon, and the announcer says, "And coming up next on Caleb Rentpayer, find out ''who shot Caleb.''" "'Who shot Caleb?' Oh, there's no ''way'' I'm missing that one. NO. WAY." Fade out and fade in on the couch now empty. It turns out he was just sitting right in front of the TV with his head taped to the screen.

--> "So, your daughter came by, took your book and teleported off to who the fuck knows where, we have no way of getting either of them back, okay, okay, good talk, byee."

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'': Occasionally happens in a [[BlackComedy dark]] [[PlayedForDrama way]] in The SCP files, as below in an excerpt from File II on SCP-087:
-->'''[[AC: Dr. ______]]:''' Thank you. Please continue down.\\
'''[[AC: D-9035]]:''' Look, Doc. I think I've gone far enough.\\
'''[[AC: Dr. ______]]:''' Please continue, as per our agreement.\\
'''[[AC: D-9035]]:''' I don't wanna be doing this, agreement or not.\\

* ''WebAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastDingoPictures'': This scene:

* LampShaded in ''Machinima/ADayInTheLifeOfACommissar.''

* ''[[Machinima/Supermarioglitchy4sSuperMario64Bloopers SMG4]]'': Parodied (and possibly PlayedForLaughs) in "Boil the Big Bully":

* A chapter of ''Webcomic/{{Fans}}'' involved a court ruling against a polygamist sect. When the judge essentially declared {{Polyamory}} as amoral, Rikk and Ally (who are two-thirds of a [[OT3 mutually consenting threesome]] with Rumy) were concerned about Rumy's response. Rikk told Ally, [[http://www.faans.com/books1-6/index.php?p=1833 "We'll follow our usual house rules. No b-s, no sitcommy half-statements, just the truth."]] Next frame, they start acting overly nice to Rumy, knowing that she will blow her top when she learns that [[BerserkButton her love for Rikk and Ally]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes is being challenged.]]

** Clinton [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3219 toasts]] to an uneventful rest of the evening." By the next panel, the bar is engulfed in flames.

--> "Yeah, like I'm going to stick my dick, which shoots a liquid, into something that ''plugs into the wall''. ''[{{Beat}}]'' So I'm on the floor fucking this thing..."\\

--> "'Honey, I don't want a knotted rag up my ass.' 'Well, how about a string of beads?' I said, 'What are you, Monty Hall? This isn't ''Let's Make a Deal'', here.' But then, I figured, you only go around this crazy old world once, and besides, who's gonna know? ''[{{Beat}}]'' So, I'm at the hospital, getting the beads removed...."

--> So she says, "Why don't we put the dogs in the car and take them with us?" I said, "No, no. I'm not putting these dogs, that I don't know, in the car." Right? "No." So I put 'em in the car....

* Lampshaded in ''Daddy's Home''. Elliot asks his dad if they can take a pelican home with them. Dad: "We are not bringing that pelican home with us, and that's final!" In the next panel, Elliot says, [[http://www.creators.com/comics/daddys-home/64077.html "Cut to plane ride home ..."]], and, sure enough, the third panel shows the pelican on a plane going home with the family.

'''One:''' Oh my God... '''I FORGOT TO PUT AIRHOLES IN THIS HELMET!'''

-->'''Ponder Stibbons:''' How much do you weigh? \\

* ''Fanfic/ItsAlwaysSpookyMonth'': When Skid says Kevin isn't with them, Monster says Kevin is an adult and he'll be fine on his own. The narration then cuts to six hours later, where Kevin has gotten hopelessly lost in Zardy's cornmaze.

-->'''Aqua''': I wish you all the best of luck with Kitagawa-kun and Ms Takamaki’s modeling appointment with him.\\

--> Harry: "Hey, George, I just looked out in the kitchen and our wives are gone. I'll bet anything they went to Reagan's house."\\

--> ''[Transition music]''
--> Gracie: "Well, here we are, Blanche. This is UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan's house."

* Website/{{Cracked}} likes to do this, which is helped by its usual article format of ordered lists. [[http://www.cracked.com/article_20145_5-shocking-ways-monkeys-are-just-as-dysfunctional-as-us_p2.html For example:]]

'''Nostalgia Critic:''' ''[voice-over]'' ... NO! NO! You go back to your room, movie, until you learn something about being racially sensitive!

* In the ''WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan'' episode "Bowser Junior Goes To Disney World!", when Bowser Junior, Cody and Chef Pee Pee are looking at the Hollywood Tower ride:

--> ''FTA:'' My favorite thing was Lewis on Twitter was like 'Oh, all you idiots, buying this game day one, I'm going to wait two months.' And then two hours later, 'So I bought the game.'

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** The first episode: "You're a huntress... can I have your autograph?!" Cue the interrogation...
** Volume 2 Episode 8 has the girls going out on their first mission. Although morale is low, Ruby cheerfully informs them that they will be accompanied by a veteran huntsman. Cue them learning that the huntsman in question is ''[[spoiler:Oobleck]]''. Their [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-p-CLyLFKdxY/VCZaNEdIjoI/AAAAAAAAZkg/Umh6o-kkYy4/s1600/wtf.png faces]] really say it all.

* In the first issue of ''ComicBook/TheOrder'', the fledgling team defeats a villain who was causing a huge wildfire in Los Angeles, and are so happy they decide to have a night on the town. Avona isn't so sure, but Maul doesn't see any harm in it: "What are they gonna do, ''fire'' us tomorrow?" The next day, everyone who went out that night is fired -- turns out they violated the morality clause in their contracts.

--> Gracie: "Well, here we are, Blanche. This is Ronald Reagan's house."

* ''Fanfic/HoldingTheWorldOnTheirShoulders'' (''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' features a rare PlayedForDrama example in chapter 45; May Marigold, who in this continuity never joined the Happy Huntresses but was picked up and trained by [[BigBad Salem]], is being trained by Salem, who plays on her anxieties and abandonment issues to make her think her closest friends never really cared about her in the first case, having left her to suffer in a BlackSite while running of to embrace May's BestFriend as one of their own. The chapter then cuts to said best friend and Happy Huntresses, who have been awake the entire night scouring camera footage from the night May disappeared to track her down. Robyn even admits that doing so may get them thrown in the same BlackSite as May, but it's worth it to find her.

* The ''WebVideo/TheWizardsOfAus'' more or less concludes with a cut such as this. [[spoiler:"I have ruined everything."]]
