'''Black Mage:''' [[EvilCannotComprehendGood Right, a friend.]]
** At a point where the Light Warriors appear entirely boned, Red Mage tries to find the silver lining for [[AxCrazy Black Mage]]:
--->'''RM:''' Look at the bright side, Black Mage. You can die in peace now that [[spoiler:Sarda]] absorbed all of your evil.\\
[stab]\\

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20051017 When the traveling show is being asked to put on a royal command performance,]] but they don't want to stick around, Abner suggests putting on a more... risque... show (''The Socket Wench of Prague'') in the hopes of being run out of town.

'''Circus worker:''' "P.S. Tart it up."\\
'''Master Payne:''' Downright ''terrible'' plan.\\
'''Abner:''' ALL ''RIGHT!''
** When Gil [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081029 loses control of his automatic cage in a crowd]], Krosp establishes the cage just wants to catch someone, and won't hurt them if it does, and shoves a small child towards it.

'''Max:''' Mmn. Briefly. I feel like I got [[CargoShip hit on by a train]]. Hit by a train.
** Max tries to comfort PJ over being a ghost. Because Max is [[DeadpanSnarker not that good at being comforting]], this [[https://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-4-page-54 goes through a few iterations]].

'''PJ:''' w-what whoa\\
'''Max:''' G-GHOSTS ARE COOL. I WISH I WAS DEAD\\
'''PJ:''' keep trying\\

* In ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'', while Hannerlore is helping Marigold deal with the large amount of money she's made through streaming, she suggests that Marigold could hire a business manager.

Hanners corrects her suggestion to say that what Marigold ''should'' do is pay the business manager she already has.
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'':
** An unusually cheerful example appears [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20090204.html toward the end of Book Ten:]]
--->'''TAG:''' Success.\\

'''Nick:''' I'm going back to Mall-One to see Liz.\\
''[pause as Tagon remembers all the problems they had at Mall-One]''\\
'''Tagon:''' Keep the weapons and one set of armor. If somebody does shoot at you, ''shoot back''.
** Schlock amends one of his own statements:
--->'''Murtagh:''' Maybe that's what we're looking at...artificial organisms that have been running amok for millions of years.\\
'''Ebbirnoth:''' Oh. Yeah, and we've got an example of that right here. It's what Sergeant Schlock is.\\
'''Schlock:''' I have not been running amok. [beat] Okay, but not for that long.
* ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'':
** After [[https://skin-horse.com/comic/and-a-simple/ Tip's first client interaction]] goes badly:
--->'''Sweetheart''': Sorry friend. That could have gone better. Tip doesn't really have the training for field work. Or the shoes. Sometimes I wonder if being our token human has cracked him even more. When you come to, I'll see that you only deal with the other members of our t--\\
'''Unity''': Sweetheart! Praise me! I punched out these monkeys ''real good!''\\
'''Sweetheart''': [[OnlySaneMan With me]]. You will only deal with me.
** And again when Tip's reaction to her saying "This is a job for Tip" means it becomes "This is a job for Tip, supervised by me."
** And Queen Elana of the Florida Zombies, [[https://skin-horse.com/comic/prefer-him-out/ at the end]] of "The Dreadful Future":
--->'''Elana''': You make a good point. In the balance, you did more good than harm.\\
'''Unity''': Y'hear that? I made a good point!\\
'''Elana''': Let us part as friends.\\
'''Unity''': Everybody! I made a good point! Would you sign a statement re: me making a good point? I will frame that sucker.\\
'''Elana''': Let us part as friends who don't see each other that often.
* During Undine's first encounter with Heartful Punch in ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'', Undine briefly mentions what she believes to be a rogue Magical Girl but, not ready to speak of it, tries to change what she's talking about to unfortunate effect.
-->'''Undine:''' ...Then maybe sh--it's gone after all. For now.\\
''[Heartful Punch snorts]''\\
'''Heartful Punch:''' [[HehHehYouSaidX Sorry, you said "shits".]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Tweep}}'', regarding [[http://www.tweep.com/comic/?date=08-16-04 embarrassing yearbook pictures:]]
