Go To

1* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' has the "[[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2004/05/25/episode-421-a-wizard-did-it/ A wizard did it]]" comic.
2-->'''Red Mage:''' You're just some crazy homeless crazy bum in a cave!\
3'''Fighter:''' And he's crazy, too!
4** "'I like swords!', 'Welcome to Corneria!', 'I like swords!', 'Welcome to Corneria!', 'I like swords!'"
5** [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/08/16/interlude-00-hes-a-fighter-not-a-webcomic-artist/ "We will call this 'Hell Week', because I'll be in Alabama. And Alabama is hell."]]
6** [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2001/08/17/interlude-01-the-fighter-does-not-liek-the-robot/ "Human Earth man from the earth! You will be the one who is killed!!!!!11 My blasting eye blasters will blast you!"]]
7** [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2002/09/18/episode-193-altered-perceptual-states/ "And then suddenly, and without any warning either..."]]
8* [[http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=16&issue=2 This]] page from ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja''.
9* [[http://cdc.comicgenesis.com/d/20050408.html This]] ''Webcomic/LifeOnForbez'' strip reveals that the ruling alien race, the Omnis, are very redundant about the Stray Particle Detectors used to located stolen components of machinery they designed, which are inside said machinery. If the first is stolen, they use the second, and if that's stolen, they use the third, and so on. It's never revealed just how many there are, just that if one values one's sanity, they shouldn't ask.
10* ''Webcomic/GrimTrigger'' has the 100 Challenge Challenge and the 1000 Challenge Challenge [[StoryArc arc]].
11-->'''Tage:''' All of this for some stupid, redundant challenge?
12* ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' brings us [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=167 creepy space aliens from outer space]] threatening the Earth from [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=172 their moon base]] '''on the moon'''!
13* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'':
14** Tried to humorously make fun of how Dark the Shadowy parts of the Fel Dark are in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/3/20/ here]] only to find out that the Shadow is really Shadowy with lots of Dark in the Fel Shadow and that the Dark in the funny humorous jokes they made about Dark really was part of officially authorized official canon about the Shadow Dark. (With the possible exception of Scarytown.)
15** [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2010/1/25/ Then again,]] They've done this unironically and in a way that isn't supposed to mock or make fun of any game or anything else in particular that they can make fun of.
16* ''Webcomic/PixieAndBrutus'':
17** At the beginning of one strip, Pixie points out Randal the raccoon, before helpfully adding that he's a raccoon.
18** While playing "police officer", Pixie calls Randal a bad guy, and says he's going to bad guy prison.
19* The JournalComic ''Planet Karen'' once commented on the word "[[http://planetkaren.girl-wonder.org/index.php?strip_id=94 Pleonasm]]".
20* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' brings us the [[http://www.xkcd.com/703/ Tautology Club]]. It's a club that exists for tautologies that was created to be about tautologies.
21* In ''Webcomic/TheMeek'':
22-->'''Pinter:''' You can start by putting on a shirt like a god-damned normal, modest, respectable, civilized, sane, normal person!\
23'''Angora:''' [[ComicallyMissingThePoint You said "normal" twice!]]
24* ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' subverted this. Paris has a gun that shoots ionized plasma. When pointed out that plasma is by definition ionized and therefore that statement is redundant, Paris tells her crew mate that it's not ''[[{{Squick}} that]]'' kind of plasma.
25* CaptainObvious in ''Webcomic/TheWayOfTheMetagamer'' usually repeats at least one fact from his long, long speeches, and often just says the whole thing twice.
26* Webcomic/GaiGin on novelty taiyaki: "It's cakes! Shaped like penises! Man penises!" Then again, Japan is known for the production of {{Futanari}} fiction ...
27* ''Final Fantasy Sonic'' had Dr. Eggman talking this way whenever he appeared.
28-->'''Eggman:''' Aha! I am free! And I have gotten unstuck!\
29'''Sonic:''' GO AWAY!\
30'''Eggman:''' You will be squashed! And I will smoosh you! And [[PrepareToDie you will be dead!!]]\
31'''Sonic:''' SHUT UP!!!
32* [[Webcomic/ProblemSleuth If your IMAGINATION was a face, you would punch it. In the face.]]
33** [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} And]] [[CallBack again]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?game=save&s=6&p=006846 here]]:
34-->It just takes no creativity or guile for these villain types to grab a little power through such outlandish transformations. No imagination at all. You are utterly astounded by how shitty their imagination is. If their imagination was a face you would shoot it.
35-->In the face.
36* ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' has [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=508 this]]:
37-->'''[[AC:Ozbasic]]:''' Prepare for deadly laser death time..... [[AC:WITH LASERS!]]
38* ''WebComic/GirlGenius''
39** According to the ''WebComic/GirlGenius'' wiki, [[http://girlgenius.wikia.com/wiki/Transylvania_Polygnostic_University Transylvania Polygnostic University]] actually has a Department of Redundancy Department.
40** ''"To that person, I would give body and soul... [[CovertPervert and body]][[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080125 . Do you understand?"]]''
41* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'':
42-->"You're pregnant?!"\
43"Yes."\
44"With a baby?!"\
45"... That's the way it usually works."
46* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'':
47-->'''Faye:''' "[[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=683 Oh god. I'm going to vomit, then my vomit will vomit, and then THAT will vomit vomiting vomit of its own. We'll drown in a sea of recursive stomach juices.]]"
48* ''Webcomic/{{Qxlkbh}}'': The [[https://qxlkbh.github.io/91 zvillains'rg lair]] is titled the Evil Spire of Utmost Evil.
49* Cloud from ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' threatens to carry out a special attack that causes surprisingly [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2011/06/06/0279-special-attack-i/ painful pain]].
50* In ''Webcomic/AllenTheAlien'', there is a sign saying "ER Room".
51-->'''Allen (who is being rolled into the room)''': '''[[LampshadeHanging THAT'S REDUNDANT!!!]]'''
52* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Grace lists the benefits of having a spell that makes a temporary semi-autonomous puppet clone of oneself: "[[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2008-07-04 You could always get hugs, have a second player for video games, get hugs, have help with chores, get hugs...]]"
53* From a [[http://mountaincomics.com/2011/09/15/mountain-time-295/ game show]] in ''Webcomic/MountainTime'': "It looks like our judge who is a fly who is a judge is off to become a holy roller."
54* ''Webcomic/{{Rain|2010}}'': Aiken says [[https://rain.thecomicseries.com/comics/283 “Cute people are cute.”]]
55* In ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'', Felicia starts her goth phase with the statement, "[[LikeIsLikeAComma Like]], darkness enshrouds my soul like an enshrouding shroud." Which prompts Avery to say, "All right, then."
56* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': The introduction of the cast GrumpyOldMan really insists on a certain detail about him:
57--> '''Trond:''' I'm old.\
58'''Title card on the exact same panel:'''\
59Age: 67\
60Profession: Military: General (retired)\
61Info: Is old.
62* In ''Webcomic/TheBirdFeeder'' [[http://thebirdfeeder.com/comic/31 #31]], "Oh Brother," Floyd repeats, four times, "Sometimes there are things in life you just have to do," to the consternation of Josh.
63* A human cabbie [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff3100/fv03048.htm explaining]] why he takes AI passengers in ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'':
64-->'''Cabbie''': You guys like having a human to talk to. You tip well, you're polite, you tip well, and you don't mess up the cab. Everybody wins. Did I mention you tip well?\
65'''Florence''': Let me guess, it takes three tries before your typical AI takes a hint?
66* ''WebComic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' parodies the RAS syndrome in [[https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/atm "ATM"]]: If people are going to shorten "ATM machine" to "ATMM", but the M in the original already stood for "machine" (Automatic Teller Machine), then logically we're going to end up with an indefinitely long string of M's at the end of the acronym, as people will keep adding "machine" and then shortening it.
67* The very title of ''[[Webcomic/FifteenMinds Legend of Legendary Mighty Knight]]''. It's a pretty quick indicator that this story's going to be more comedic and tongue-in-cheek than its predecessor, ''Blue Moon Blossom''.
68* ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'': Harry, [[http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2012-03-05/comic/the-bookend-of-unimaginable-power/reaching-consensus/ here]], tells us that extracting a forbidden relic from a forbidden vault is ''kind'' of forbidden. No, really?
69* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
70** A subtle running gag in the comics is that place names tend to be this. Instances throughout its run have included Wooden Forest, Sunken Valley, and Passage Pass, and official maps have included such names as Rainforest Jungle, Marine Ocean, the Wet Sea, and Summit Mountains.
71** Redcloak reveals that the nation of Gobbotopia was named via contest and one of the defeated names was [[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1208.html The Goblin's Republic of Goblins]].
72* From the ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' parody [[https://cad-comic.tumblr.com/ cad-comic.tumblr.com]], which goes for [[StylisticSuck deliberately semicoherent dialogue most of the time]]:
73-->'''Lucas:''' I hated it so much that I hated it a lot and it's bad.
