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.
