4	-->''When I'm in a rock band, I'm gonna do a cool, mellow song. Then in the middle I'll stop, announce "this part is just to be an [[{{Troll}} asshole]] to people playing ''VideoGame/GuitarHero''," and then [[SurpriseDifficulty flail wildly on the strings]] [[ThatOneAttack for 30 seconds]].''
5	* Though the comic itself is [[TearJerker not funny]], the mouseover text for [[https://xkcd.com/102/ "Back To The Future"]] is.
6	--> "He's kind of an asshole, when you think about it"
7	* [[https://xkcd.com/123/ Centrifugal Force]]. The very image of Franchise/JamesBond and Auric Film/{{Goldfinger}} having that conversation is just hilarious.
8	** And the Black Hat Guy is Goldfinger.
9	* The pretty clever song parody [[http://xkcd.com/118 "50 Ways To Learn To Hover"]].
10	* [[http://xkcd.com/214/ The mouse rollover text. Oh, good god, the mouse rollover text]].

29	* [[GeniusBonus Provided you get the]] [[Literature/DonQuixote reference]], [[http://xkcd.com/556/ Alternative Energy Revolution.]]

31	* In their spoof of ''Film/TheMatrix'', when given the RedPillBluePill choice, Neo takes both pills, grinds them to a fine dust, then snorts the resulting purple dust. [[http://xkcd.com/566/ It causes reality to fracture.]]
32	-->'''Morpheus:''' ''Now'' look what you've done...\
33	'''Neo:''' Where ''are'' we?\
34	'''Morpheus:''' I have no idea.

37	'''Nathan and Jewel:''' No.\
38	\

53	** AltText: "You roll for initiative, and ... [roll] ... [[NothingIsFunnier wow, do you ever take it]]."
54	* [[http://xkcd.com/819/ The Five-Minute]] [[http://xkcd.com/820/ Comics]] [[http://xkcd.com/821/ series]] has sad circumstances, but the comics themselves are very funny. The "hotness rating" one in the first part is darkly hilarious.
55	* The AltText for "[[http://xkcd.com/913/ Core]]": ''If you're a geologist or geophysicist and you don't introduce yourself by saying your name, then gesturing downwards and say "...and I study that", I don't know what you're doing with your life.''

65	* [[http://xkcd.com/1110/ "Click and Drag"]] is big enough to have individual moments ''within'' it:
66	** Just over the mountain from the start, a birder looks left through her binoculars and exclaims, "Ooh, a yellow warbler!" Her friend replies, "Cool"--not needing binoculars to see the giant flying jellyfish immediately to their right.
67	** In a deep, deep dark cave, two poor souls trapped at the bottom of a pit call out:
68	-->"Is anyone up there? If you can hear us, ''friend us on {{Website/Facebook}}''!"\

91	-->'''Cueball:''' And sorted it into layers.
92	-->'''Megan:''' ...
93	-->'''Cueball:''' I feel good about things. This is a good game.
94	** Even better is the AltText (and the paranoia and CrazyPrepared-ness within).
95	--> "I heard general anesthesia drugs can cause amnesia, so when I woke up mid-extraction, I started taking notes on my hand so I'd remember things later. I managed 'AWAKE BUT EVERYTHING OK' before the dental assistant managed to find and confiscate all my pens."

99	* [[http://xkcd.com/1732/ Xkcd's comic 1732]] is a timeline detailing changes in the Earth's average temperature across time (to illustrate the point about man-made global warming even further), with a few funny bits added to make what is essentially an alarming fact less depressing (see NightmareFuel.{{XKCD}}).
100	** One highlight is at 9000 BCE about North American Franchise/{{Pokemon}} going extinct. It's made even better [[http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1732 in the explanation]]:
101	--> "As prehistoric Megan states, this is not a real fact. (...)

106	** On the [[Franchise/StarWars Star Destroyer]], Darth Vader can be found explaining ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' to a subordinate. The mental image of a Sith Lord watching ''Steven Universe'' is priceless.
107	** Beret Guy can be found doing his best [[Film/DrStrangelove Slim Pickens]] [[RidingTheBomb impression]] on one of the torpedoes, but what clinches it is what he shouts as he does it:

110	--->'''First Cueball:''' The Death Star plans are ''not'' in the main computer.\
111	'''Second Cueball:''' Darn.\

113	'''Second Cueball:''' But since we didn’t find them, we need to keep searching for anyone with a copy.\
114	'''Second Cueball:''' That all makes sense and I ''definitely'' understand how computers work.
115	** Apparently Elon Musk has a secret lair beneath [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Mount Doom]]. Who knew?

117	** At a gas station, an X-wing has stopped for a fill-up.
118	** [[FourPointScale Megan rates the sea]].
119	--->'''Megan:''' This is an okay sea. 2 1/2 stars.
120	** "[[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi And if any here can give cause why these two should not be wed, The Great Jabba the Hutt will now listen to your pleas]]."

124	* [[https://xkcd.com/838/ Hey- who does sudo report these "incidents" to?]]
125	* "[[https://xkcd.com/944/ Hurricane Names]]" involves so many hurricanes forming that they start receiving random words as names, such as "Eggbeater". Later, when it becomes impossible to properly identify them individually, [[PlanetOfSteves they are collectively named "Steve"]].
