** Played straight but also unsuccessfully invoked in the story "Rescue Mission to the North Pole".

--> '''Squintyhoyo''': Sorry, '''MY BAD!'''

* Seventeen years in, and Pete Abrams still hasn't revealed just what "Webcomic/SluggyFreelance" actually ''means''. That hasn't, however, stopped him from dropping one of the two words without the other here and there like delicious, fan-baiting sprinkles. Recently (sixteen years in), [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20130903/ three]] [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/131111/ different]] possibilities showed up, but it is still not clear what it ''means''.
** May 16, 2014: [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20140516 The Title Drop]] finally appears.
-->"I quit! Sluggy's Freelance now!"

* Subverted in ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'', making reference to ''Webcomic/{{Roomies}}'' when [[http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20080910.html the main characters share a house]].
** And inverted in [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2008/comic/book-7/05-pedostache/sharpcheddar/#comments a strip where]] Amber's counterpart describes Shortpacked's [[MirrorUniverse bizarro twin store]] [=McAwesome=]'s as "'''overstocked''' on happiness!"

* Parodied in [[http://www.qwantz.com/archive/001218.html this]] ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' comic.

* In WebComic/GirlGenius: In response to Gil being outsmarted by Agatha (again), Dupree says [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140407 "I mean, if they ever write this down, they ain't gonna be calling it '*boy* genius.'"]]

* In WebComic/GirlGenius: "I mean, if they ever write this down, they ain't gonna be calling it '*boy* genius.'" (April 7, 2014)

* The last two words of ''BetterDays'' were...well, [[http://www.jaynaylor.com/betterdays/archives/2009/05/chapter-25-bett-9.html just that]].
* It was the worst case of ''ChoppingBlock'' [[http://www.choppingblock.org/d/20010410.html he'd ever endured.]]
* ''AwkwardZombie'' has a veeeeeeery subtle one [[http://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic1-030209.php here]].
* ''BooksDontWorkHere'' does this [[http://booksdontworkhere.thecomicseries.com/comics/29 here]]. in the second chapter.

* ''SomethingHappens'' appears in the introductory strip and [[http://www.somethinghappens.net/d/20081119.html the final strip of book one]]. Not that Something couldn't Happen more often.

For a TitleDrop, it's about as subtle as being hit upside the head with a bag of hammers, but ''SecondEmpire'' holds its tongue very much in cheek.
* ''MoonOverJune'' does it [[http://moonoverjune.com/go/173 here]]. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]].
* Parodied, along with so many other things, in ''IWasKidnappedByLesbianPiratesFromOuterSpace''. OnceAnEpisode the main character informs someone, sometimes herself, that she has been kidnapped and by whom.

-->'''Rikk:''' People might call us crazy, and once in awhile me might almost belive them. But we're used to that. We're ''{{Fans}}''.
