3	* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': [[TheMunchkin Red Mage]] uses this as Black Mage is about to burn the Rat's Tail they need for the class change. He puts on a levitation spell so he can do the slo-mo jump (but applies too much and is left hanging for a while), and does the Big No just to be dramatic.
4	%%* ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' has several of these.
5	* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has multiple examples playing with this trope.
6	** Elliott does this when he [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2002-07-09 learns that his ex-girlfriend Nanase is the cousin of his friend Tedd]].
7	** Tedd's father uses this [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-02-13 when he's realizes]] he's said he'll pay for eight teenagers to eat pizza, while at a meeting far away. The person he's talking to thinks her ideas are being criticized. The comic is helpfully titled 'I Graduated from the Creator/GeorgeLucas Directing Academy'.
8	** Justin makes this exclamation when [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2012-06-26 he feels a great disturbance in the Force while Nanase's hair is being cut off]].
9	** Justin [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2012-08-31 does it again]] when he needs [=DVDs=] of the original ''Franchise/StarWars'' movies but Tedd only has [=DVDs=] of the Special Edition.
10	* Subverted in the third panel of [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=041116 this]] strip of ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'', where a "{{little no}}" gives the dramatic impact a Big No is supposed to have.
11	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''
12	** Vaarsuvius pairs it with a SkywardScream in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0504.html strip #504]], titled "[[LampshadeHanging That's a Surprisingly Common Reaction]]". {{Lampshaded}} in the first panel of the next strip, by GenreSavvy Elan:
13	--->'''Elan:''' Hey, did someone in here just drop to their knees and scream, "Noooooo"? I got a feeling....
14	** Durkon gets one of these in ''On the Origin of [=PCs=]'' after tasting what is allegedly the [[ATankardOfMooseUrine "finest beer brewed in all the human lands."]]
15	** And the intermission comic, where... well just [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0301.html see for yourself]].
16	** V does it again when [[spoiler:an as-of-yet unnamed dragon swears to kill V's kids]], after an utterly abject HowlOfSorrow.
17	** Xykon, of all people, does it when his [[spoiler:phylactery is nearly lost to the Snarl]].
18	--->'''Xykon:''' [[RapidFireNo No no no no no no]] NO!\
19	[...]\
20	'''Xykon:''' YES!
21	** Tsukiko gets one [[spoiler:once she realizes that her fate has been sealed.]]
22	** After [[spoiler:Miko is stripped of her powers for murdering Lord Shojo]] and has to be beaten into unconsciousness, Belkar delivers one of these off-panel [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0411.html because he won't be able to kill her horse anymore]].
23	--->'''Belkar:''' Well gosh golly, Roy, I'm so sorry everyone else's stunning revelations aren't story-based enough for you.
24	* ''Webcomic/CaptainSNES'' has had its fair share of them:
25	** Dr. Wily does the traditional NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! When he realises he's in a catch 22 as the VP of Nexus and doing anything to ruin Nexus would cause Blues to torture him, meaning he would have to go against his nature and save it from the stupidity that was President Haggar.
26	** Alex Willams, replaces the Big No with the Big FUCK, and purposely extends it to buy time to think.
27	** He ''did'' a simple Big No before. It lasted something like ''thirteen comics''.
28	* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'':
29	** [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/gaeta Robin's reaction]] to learning that [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 Felix Gaeta]] is portrayed by the same man that voiced [[TheScrappy Nightscream]] from ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines''.
30	** [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/do-not-want Amber's reaction]] to [[FridgeHorror figuring out]] that [[spoiler: she may be related to Faz.]] It takes her two comics. Leslie hears the scream [[http://www.shortpacked.com/comic/allergies from across the city]].
31	* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''
32	** Plays... oddly when Gilgamesh Wulfenbach is [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050110 led to believe that Agatha was killed]] by a rogue clank. He begins the wind-up to a Big No before cold logic takes over. However, in a flashback to the same scene, Gil is in the classic [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050912 "Big No" pose]]. So it's unclear whether he did one or not.
33	** Many ''Girl Genius'' characters get a Big No, of course. Gil demonstrates correct form [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030704 here]].
34	** The entire Circus of Adventure lets loose a [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050411 joint one]] during the battle with the monster horse beastie when animal-trainer Professor Moonsock gleefully announces she's releasing her poisonous sky-wyrms.
35	** In the language of the Geisterdamen[[note]]"ghost women"[[/note]] it sounds [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20161026 NEEEEE!]]
36	* Scully gets one in ''Webcomic/MonsterOfTheWeek'' when the Flirty Science Guy gets shot:

42	* Used pretty straight in ''Webcomic/FinalBlasphemy'' [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Final_Blasphemy/index.php?p=440339 here]] and later in the same issue.
43	* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' when Bob learns [[https://bobadventures.thecomicseries.com/comics/67/ his roof is about to be destroyed]] [[https://bobadventures.thecomicseries.com/comics/68/ a third time.]] It will happen [[RunningGag many more times.]]
44	** Riboflavin gets one when he faces a [[https://bobadventures.thecomicseries.com/comics/530 fate worse than death.]]
45	* Happens in ''Webcomic/CornerAlley13'' when Noelle notices that [[http://corneralley.comicgenesis.com/d/20050527.html her café doesn't have any customers]].
46	* ''Webcomic/DragonMango'' [[http://www.dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter05/dm05-10.htm spoofs]] this when Pumpkin's father returns after a four-year journey into faraway lands and gives Mango a rare treat, called a "sweet swirl stick", which Cherry eats in one bite.

48	* Rhea of ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'''s [[http://www.sdamned.com/2005/10/10042005/ reaction]] upon learning that she cannot be reincarnated.

50	-->'''Professor Utonium:''' What's that you got there? Is that a... Wh--Th--P...P....\

63	* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' is quite prone to this. For example:
64	** Kiley [[http://www.menagea3.net/strips-ma3/i_wish_i_were_a_woman here.]]
65	** Zii's reaction when [=DiDi=] tries to cut her hair into a mullet.
66	** Zii again [[http://www.menagea3.net/strips-ma3/save_me_-_guest here]] and [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/show-accuracy here]].

73	** Princess Pi herself [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/princesspi/index.php?issue=9&page=8 says this]] when the new princess, Gertie, makes her genie, Bottle Blonde, encase her own bottle in concrete, so that Pi could not make Bottle Blonde turn Piscataway back to normal.
74	* ''Webcomic/TrueBelievers'' has one after [[spoiler:ComicBook/SpiderMan uses a stolen stamp to give [[Creator/JoeQuesada Joe Quesadilla]] a RetGone]].
75	* In ''Webcomic/{{Shifters}}'' Ben Harkus gives us one of these [[http://shifters.comicgenesis.com/d/20021202.html here]] after [[spoiler:[[http://shifters.comicgenesis.com/d/20021129.html failing to catch Ferrah and letting her fall from a crashed plane]] that had been [[http://shifters.comicgenesis.com/d/20021120.html brought down by Maverick]].]]

86	** Taking this to increasingly {{exaggerated\|Trope}} levels seems to have become a running gag. John's big No after [[spoiler: a Mind-Controlled Jane kills Karkat]] takes so long he has to pause for breath at the end of each page before continuing, [[AngstWhatAngst only for him to immediately perk back up when Jane revives Karkat four pages later.]] Later, Dave's big no is so long that it stretches down to where his apartment building [[ConvectionSchmonvection reaches the lava of LOHAC]] after [[spoiler: Grimbark Jade kicks WV over the edge of the building.]]

91	* In ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'', Tatiana invokes the short, intense version [[http://www.sandraontherocks.com/strips-sotr/sex_the_other_into_submission here]] when she discovers that something ... terrible ... may have happened to her beloved boss Domenico.

98	* In ''Webcomic/FlintlockesGuideToAzeroth'', we get this:

103	-->'''Flintlocke:''' '''''[[SkywardScream NOOOO]][[RoaringRampageOfRevenge OOOO!!]]'''''
104	* In ''Webcomic/KnightsOfBuenaVista'', Mary has her PlayerCharacter do this when another PC is stabbed (it was only 3 damage, but the character wouldn't know that).
105	* ''Webcomic/GuildedAge'': Parodied when Payet mourns the loss of his faithful [[Franchise/FinalFantasy bawkbagok]].

108	* In ''WebComic/DarthsAndDroids'' [[https://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1596.html episode 1596]], Tarkin, who here has a fake French accent (and isn't much of a bad guy and doesn't fancy seeing a city blown up) does a big "Non!"
109	--> "Nooooooooooooooooooon!"
110	* In ''Webcomic/VampireGirl'', Levana has three of these in a row that get bigger than the one before when it's implied that [[spoiler: a struggling scuffle in the Vampiress' castle leads to her being biten and turned back into a vampire.]]
111	* ''Webcomic/DeanNalaVinny'': On a train trip, while Dean sleeps, his cat Nala takes the opportunity to use his laptop to impersonate him in an online Q and A version. Their friend Vinny (a roach) can only watch in horror:

114	'''Vinny:''' No!
