15 | |
16 | * In ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': |
17 | ** After hearing some obvious statements, [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2003/04/05/episode-269-sir-webs-a-lot/ Drizz'l labels]] Black Mage as "Captain Obvious" and Red Mage as "Stating The Overly Apparent Man". |
18 | ** A later comic had [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/04/28/episode-1122-changes/ this exchange]]: |
19 | ---> '''Red Mage:''' Fighter, you'll use your swords to hurt them.\ |
20 | '''Fighter:''' That's what swords are designed to do! |
21 | * ''Webcomic/AbsurdNotions'': |
22 | -->'''Jay:''' The lights went out!\ |
23 | '''Jag:''' Well said, my dear, but [[NarratingTheObvious this isn't radio]]. |
24 | * ''Webcomic/{{Adventurers}}!'' has ''Obvious Magazine'', which published [[http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20051015.html a breakthrough:]] Ninjas don't like getting hit by lightning! |
25 | * [[http://www.bmoviecomic.com/?cid=310 These]] [[http://www.bmoviecomic.com/?cid=311 two]] ''Webcomic/TheBMovieComic'' strips. |
26 | * ''[[Webcomic/{{Bobbinsverse}} Bobbins]]'': [[http://bobbins.keenspot.com/d/20020121.html how to quit smoking]]: "I stopped putting them in my mouth and lighting them." |
27 | * Author's comment in the infamous miscarriage arc in ''[[Webcomic/CtrlAltDel Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'': |
28 | -->And I know that [a miscarriage]'s often much harder on the woman than on the man. |
29 | * ''Webcomic/CyanideAndHappiness'' even made a superhero character (or at least a stick figure man) called Captain Obvious. |
30 | * ''Webcomic/DICETheCubeThatChangesEverything'': During the War Quest Mio senses a Dicer and says he may not be on the Defense team. As she already knows, [[spoiler:she and Dongtae are the ''only'' members of the Defense.]] |
31 | * A slightly less useless incarnation shows up in ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'' [[http://eheroes.thecomicseries.com/comics/171/ here.]] |
32 | * ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'': some guy to Florence: "[[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1900/fc01823.htm You're a talking dog!]]" (Technically she's an anthropomorphic red wolf, but...) He even says it twice for good measure. He does redeem himself a couple of strips later by deducing what she does, where she came from and who she's working for... without tossing her out afterward. |
33 | * ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': |
34 | ** "It's a talking cat." |
35 | ** Orotine, the Muse of Geometries is apparently so used to fielding these that [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200729#.YB8Gt3mnyUk she finds their absence notable]]: |
36 | --->'''Gil''': Good evening. Are you enjoying the party?\ |
37 | '''Orotine''': How interesting. You do not immediately mention that I am a Muse.\ |
38 | '''Gil''': I rather assumed you ''knew''.\ |
39 | '''Orotine''': You would perhaps be surprised at how many do ''not'' make that assumption. |
40 | * Tom Siddell, ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' author, sometimes writes some hilariously (and intentionally) redundant sentences in TheRant, such as "The background is white". |
41 | ** [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=602 Laser Cows. Just like real cows. Only with lasers.]] |
42 | ** [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=260 Of all the pages I've drawn so far, this is one of them.]] |
43 | ** It's become a RunningGag that Eglamore's first appearance in [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=476 any]] [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=600 given]] [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=666 chapter]] is accompanied by a note from Tom reminding readers who he is. Because, [[https://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=368 when Eggers showed up in chapter 17]], many readers ''did not recognize him'', and a noticeable number of them [[http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=296&page=1 disbelieved Tom when he tried to clarify]]. |
44 | * ''Webcomic/HannaIsNotABoysName'' -- Hanna: [[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=259/ "Whoa, that light is on!"]] and [[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=267/ "Wha-! He's solid! Not a ghost. Clearly."]] |
45 | ** Also, on the very second page [[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=5/ "YOU'RE DEAD!"]] Spoken to the zombie with glowing orange eyes and green skin covered in stitches. He then goes on to clarify that "...you're more of a...hm....''living'' dead since you know..." |
46 | ** Upon entering Ples's house: [[http://hanna.aftertorque.com/?p=775/ "Good freaking Jesus, this guy loves clocks"]] |
47 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': Sometimes, John is perversely insightful. [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/7488 Other times]]: |
48 | -->'''Karkat''': <twenty solid lines of ranting about how he wants the current topic of conversation to go away>\ |
49 | '''John''': dave, i'm pretty sure we're making karkat uncomfortable now. |
50 | * Oliver of ''Webcomic/LightningMadeOfOwls'' acts as Captain Obvious in [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/owls/?comic=147 these]] [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/owls/?comic=151 three]] [[http://www.mezzacotta.net/owls/?comic=154 strips]], announcing to children things they already know. |
51 | * ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup'': |
52 | -->'''Richard:''' ''(stunned)'' [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/245 Missionaries.]]\ |
53 | '''Maikos:''' Of the gods.\ |
54 | '''Richard:''' Of course of the gods. Would I have made this face if they were missionaries of the carpenters?\ |
55 | '''Maikos:''' My apologies. |
56 | ** [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/6/ "I'm no physician, but there appears to be a dagger through my chest."]] |
57 | * The rather obscure webcomic "Monster Hunting Made Easy" has an actual [[http://monsterhuntingmadeeasy.com/episodes/captain-obvious Captain Obvious]] along with his {{Sidekick}} "Duh Boy." |
58 | * ''Webcomic/MountainTime'' has Raoul, who can only tell you things he knows you already know. |
59 | * ''Webcomic/MrBoop'': Alec spends a lot of the time thinking about Betty Boop (his wife). |
60 | * In ''Webcomic/NoRestForTheWicked'', [[http://www.forthewicked.net/archive/03-02.html the innkeeper tells Perrault that he's a cat.]] Perrault observes that nothing can be hidden from him. |
61 | * In ''Webcomic/RedsPlanet'', [[http://www.redsplanet.com/comic/rp/ch03/chapter-three-08/ Red's reaction to the]] TranslatorMicrobes is to babble about how she can understand. The robot describes her as fluent in the obvious. |
62 | * ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' had [[WindmillCrusader Seymour]] [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2005-02-17 clearing this all up]]. |
63 | * ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'' constantly refers to her (non-existent) spider sense as telling her something that is patently obvious. |
64 | * Sachiel from ''Webcomic/UniversalCompass'' tends to point out the obvious whenever the other characters have little or no reaction to the events. |
65 | * Taken quite literally in ''Webcomic/TheWayOfTheMetagamer'', with the character Captain Obvious introduced in this [[http://wayofthemetagamer.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/18697 this]] comic. |
66 | * Webcomic/{{xkcd}}: [[http://xkcd.com/231/ Cat Proximity]] |
67 | ** Also from xkcd, his Other-Wiki-style-superscript "Citation needed" for statements in his "What If" column that fall under this trope, which may count as lampshading. |
68 | %%* [[http://cockeyed.webcomic.ws/comics/10/ This]] strip is {{exactly what it says on the tin}}. |
69 | %%* ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'': Android 16 in his fight with Eleim. |
