11	* ''Webcomic/FiftyTeaRecipesFromTheDuchess'' is about a tea-loving woman transported into the body of the married Duchess Chloé Battenberg. Chloé's parents are the Count and Countess Gray, who preside over the Earldom of Gray. Since "Count" is an equivalent rank to an "Earl", and "Lady" is a title that can refer to many ranks of noble women (including Countess), that would make them "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Grey_tea Earl Gray]]" and "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Grey_(tea) Lady Gray]]."
12	* In [[http://www.nettserier.no/ascii/2008/05/25/ this]] episode of ''Adventures in ASCII'' (a strip where the characters are letters and other printables), Miss B reacts with a stony silence upon learning that Bold H is taking the guest Miss [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_delta Delta]] (she's from @hens) down the river to see the estuary.
13	-->'''Miss B:''' ...\
14	'''Bold H:''' What?\
15	'''Miss B:''' I didn't say anything.\
16	'''Bold H:''' It was the way you didn't say it.
17	** [[http://www.nettserier.no/ascii/2007/11/10/ Here's another one]] from the same comic about an injured number. Apparently [[spoiler: a three falling in a forest does indeed make a sound.]]
18	** Even better; it inverts the punchline.
19	* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja''
20	** The comic provides you with [[http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=28&issue=15 this]] image of a train accident to use [[AltText if your forum discussion gets off topic]] [[spoiler:it has been derailed. Additionally, your train of thought has been broken.]]
21	** Also, there's one bit of alt text that imagines Dr. [=McNinja=] being followed on a quest by his refrigerator. A subsequent panel gives alt text of the fridge huffing as it tries to keep up. [[spoiler:His refrigerator is running.]]
22	** [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/8p32 First]] Gordito shoots the undead, then the uncola. The alt text informs us that next time, Gordito shoots a dusty old book. [[spoiler: He shoots the un''read''.]]
23	** The McNinja family is provided with [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/10p40 holy weapons to defeat a ghost]]. Dark Smoke Puncher gets nunchucks made from the bones of Mother Theresa.
24	** Doc walks into a room and encounters [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p32/ a barrage of thrown objects.]] Chuck is [[spoiler:''chucking'' things at him.]]
25	** Mistaken for an example in-universe: The Doctor thinks his brother's ninja name Dark Smoke Puncher is silly. In "Space Savers", Dark Smoke Puncher is acting as MissionControl while the Doctor goes on a quest with Chuck Goodrich where he ends up being attacked by ghosts made of dark smoke. When Chuck tells Dark Smoke Puncher about this and asks for help, he thinks they're making it up to make fun of his name.
26	* In the Pokemon fancomic ''Alterity'', one of Robin's Pokemon had the previous nickname of Dante. Given that Dante is a [[PlayingWithFire fire type]] that makes him [[spoiler:DantesInferno]].
27	* ''Webcomic/ApricotCookies'' has Apricot barraging her friend with compliments in order to bum a ride to school. Her friend's name happens to be "Butter"—as in, "buttering her up".
28	** Moonlight Spritzer keeps her tit (her bird) between her tits (her breasts).
29	* [[http://arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2029.htm This]] ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'' strip has the stated punchline "Beware of Greek bearins [=GIFs=]", but leaves out the obvious "Trojan horse" joke.
30	* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'':
31	** The head surgeon is little more than a human circulatory system given independent life. Her name? Circula Tori.
32	** The receptionist is an amoeba called "Zoe." Her last name is unknown, but it's probably Plankton.
33	* [[http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2008/7/14/how-to-find-a-job-that-suits-your-interests.html This]] ''Webcomic/BasicInstructions'' strip has Scott suggest that his friend get a job driving a rickshaw as a getaway vehicle for criminals. The idea is already so goofy that you might miss the other joke: his friend is named Rick.
34	* In ''Webcomic/TheBedfellows'' strip "Board Meeting," Fatigue's bosses get hot and bothered (and, eventually, kinky) as he explains his blueprints for a ballroom. [[spoiler:It's "artistic masturbation."]]
35	* ''Webcomic/BloodyUrban'' features a character with blue hair named [[Film/{{Avatar}} Pandora]].
36	* On his character page for ''Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily'', Luigi is shown playing violin, with the sheet music across the top of the image labeled "Violin II". [[spoiler:Second fiddle, anyone?]]
37	* In ''Webcomic/CityFace'', the fairy Torus convinces the pigeon City Face that he has become a human businessman. She then gives him a berry, which she says every businessman needs. "No! You weren't supposed to eat it!" [[spoiler:It was a blackberry.]]
38	* ''Webcomic/{{Consolers}}''' [[PaperThinDisguise Ultra Games and Palcom]] wear seashells on their foreheads... because they're ''shell companies.''
39	* An early ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' comic could have easily made a [[Music/MCHammer Hammertime]] [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2002-01-25 joke]].
40	* ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'':
41	** [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/2113008/a-taxing-job/ This]] strip shows the characters scowling at all the taxes taken out of their paychecks. In addition to the usual federal, state, local, Medicare, and FICA, there are also deductions for "snieca", "hearta", "pollex" (Latin for "thumb") and "Persian 9' X 12'"... in other words, [[spoiler: sneak attacks, heart attacks, thumb tacks, and carpet tacks.]]
42	** Also, there seems to be a chain of coffee shops named "Sundo" (with the bar over the "o" indicating a long vowel). Since the Sun is a ''star'', and do ("dough") is another name for money, or ''bucks'' ...
43	** When Mr. Mighty is working the night shift, he comes home in the morning just as the kids are leaving for school. He and his wife take advantage of the empty house for some "quality time" ... and in the [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/2122077/repairing-relationships/ next strip]], he shows up to work smiling and singing "A Hard Day's Night".[[spoiler: Heheheh ... [[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead you said "hard".]]]]
44	** On [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/2122090/fair-warning/ this page]], Mr. Mighty is thwarting a hold-up at the "Red Rooster Natural Mini-Mart". While some readers might recognize "Red Rooster" as a BrandX version of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Hen_Pantry White Hen Pantry]], not everyone will figure out the "Natural" part of the joke. In shooting dice, a "natural" is when you win by rolling a ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Eleven seven or eleven]]''.
45	* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', MemeticBadass Axel Higgs' official rank is seaman, third class. In the old navy, a seaman 3/c, or third mate, is known as a bosun, making him [[spoiler:the [[GeniusBonus Higgs Bosun]]]].
46	* ''Webcomic/GuildedAge'': [[http://guildedage.net/comic/chapter-10-page-22/ In this strip]], the party suggests sending the "best" among them first. Payet ''Best'' is part of the group.
47	* The number of examples in ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' (see the work page) seems to cement that if we had individual pages for StealthPun, Homestuck would be one of the first.
48	** Just for a taste: Dave eventually becomes a time traveller, using his power to do more stuff in a relatively small amount of time. His emblem? [[spoiler:A broken record.]]
49	** The [[Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff SORD.....]] Dave alchemises is so shitty it actually costs negative grist. What do you gain on making it? Artifact grist.[[labelnote:*]][[subscript:Jpeg compression, a [[StylisticSuck staple]] of ''Webcomic/SweetBroAndHellaJeff'', creates jpeg artifacts.]][[/labelnote]]
50	** Every player in the game gets a small planet called "The Land of ''X'' and ''Y''" where X and Y are themes like wind, rain, or silence, and the planets are often abbreviated into an acronym (ie. LOWAA, LOLAR, LOMAT, etc). [[CatGirl Nepeta]] winds up with the Land of Little Cubes and Tea, otherwise known as [[spoiler:[[WebOriginal/LOLCats LOLCAT]]]].
51	** Speaking of Nepeta, for a long time the fanbase was unsure whether or not she survived an attack, since we never saw her. In other words, for a while, she could be alive or dead, ''such as UsefulNotes/SchrodingersCat''.
52	** Nepeta dies in what looks like a TooDumbToLive moment, since Equius had sacrificed his life to protect her, and given her strict orders to remain in the safety of the vent she was hiding in. But she (a CatGirl) was overcome with curiosity, and it killed her.
53	** A ridiculously convoluted one - Tavros is introduced trying to 'get Dave's goat' by trolling him, and he performs an extremely bad rap in which he describes being stopped by a policeman who discovers him smuggling Dave's goat as well as a goose, which is apparently 'honktraband'. Later on the word 'honktraband' is used by Gamzee, who is a clown-themed troll, and also associated with goats due to his connection with the star sign Capricorn. And it is eventually revealed that he had been in love with Tavros - in short, Tavros had [[IronicEcho 'got his goat' and it was 'honktraband']].
54	** One of the many, ''many'' huge plot developments in [[WhamEpisode "[S] Cascade"]] was [[spoiler:Bec-prototyped Jack Noir killing everyone in Exile Town except PM on his way through to the troll session. PM is very, ''very'' angry... and unbeknownst to Jack, WV was carrying the other prototype ring. PM puts it on, and follows Jack [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge to get revenge]].]] This means the epic battle between {{Physical God}}s also comes down to an age-old conflict: [[spoiler:[[AngryGuardDog dog]] versus [[UnstoppableMailman mail lady]]]].
55	** THE [[http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=007254 ROSE]] WAS A........... [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/?cid=007.jpg DISTACTION]]
56	** Equius is an Heir of Void. [[spoiler: He dies by being void of air]].
57	** Terezi is a troll obsessed with law and order, is a Seer of Mind, is based on the scales sign of the zodiac, and is blind. This is SEVERAL stealth puns- [[spoiler: justice is blind, the blind prophet, and her caretaker is a dragon (which she has plushies of that are referred to as scalemates).]]
58	*** And playing off the latter one, [[spoiler:Terezi occasionally engages in roleplay with [[CatGirl Nepeta]], but prefers to play as dragons to Nepeta's mammals. This would make her [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom a scalie]] to Nepeta's furry.]]
59	** In Act 5, Terezi [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005629 finds]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005630 and]] [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005631 scratches]] Disc. 2 for Homestuck when trying to play it. This glitches the comic and renders the game unplayable. Who is the disc given to repair? [[spoiler:Doctor ''Scratch''.]]
60	*** Speaking of which, Doctor Scratch was [[spoiler:the First Guardian assigned to Alternia, tasked with making sure that the Alternian session didn't fail as spectacularly as the Scratched Beforan session.]] To do so, he [[spoiler:actively manipulated trolls through the Handmaid, conditioned highbloods to be far more violent than they naturally would and well as placing Gl'bgolyb on the planet as a lusus for tyrianbloods.]] It worked too - the Alternian players were violent enough to get through the game . In fact, [[spoiler:[[{{GoneHorriblyRight}} it worked too well.]]]] So it could be said that he [[spoiler:''doctor''ed the post-''scratch'' troll universe.]]
61	** Snowman is the eighth member of a pool based gang comprised completely of male members aside from her. The name refers to both her status as the "8 ball" and the shape of a snowman, but also as [[spoiler:she's no man.]]
62	** The Wayward Vagabond finds a {{Series/firefly}} and promptly names her {{Film/Serenity}}.
63	** Nepeta and Feferi appear as a conjoined being, so you could say that the sprite is a catfish.
64	** [[spoiler: A BrainwashedAndCrazy Jane]] tells Dirk to "[[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=008277 CEASE REPRODUCTION]]". So basically . . . fuck off.
65	** During the events of Cascade, what basically happened was [[spoiler: the 8-ball pocketed (Snowman's death) while Scratching.]] That is, the game is lost.
66	** There are two magic rings in Act 6: one that tuns the wearer invisible and one that returns the dead to life. Later on, it turns out that they're the same, i.e. it's [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings One Ring]].
67	* In ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'', Bob's unseen next door neighbor is named Ray, a reference to [[spoiler:the old comedy team, Radio/BobAndRay.]] Even more obscurely, another unseen neighbor is Mrs. Spitoonelli (a play on "spitoon," of course), with a husband named Harold. It is later mentioned her first name is Maude, referring to [[spoiler: the BlackComedy movie ''Harold And Maude.'']] In Galatea's French adventure, she rides a Vespa with the name [[Film/{{Spaceballs}} "Princess"]] on the side. And the Pirate Captain of Ipecac's favorite RayGun is named Nancy, as in [[spoiler: Nancy Reagan.]]
68	* ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'''s got a bunch:
69	** Shakespeare in [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/967.html #967]] has a chance to occupy "office B down on level 2". Does he want it? A dialog box for "[=PunGuard=] 2.1" covers the pun in the comic! It would have been a pun on ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'': "2B or not 2B, that is the question."
70	** [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1996.html Comic #1996]] seems to be setting up [[RunningGag yet another]] hobbit-pun. Lambert doesn't tell the pun, and the annotation links to this very trope page. Only Morgan-Mar knows the intended pun for sure. It might have been "Don't make a hobbit of it", or perhaps "Don't burn the hobbit", a pun on "burn the habit."
71	*** He said it was a warning about the goods Bilbert did not destroy, which included children's clothing, also known as children's ''wear'', so I'm fairly certain the pun will involve the word "beware", or perhaps merely " 'ware".
72	*** It might be something to do with wearing a habit (as a nun would do)?
73	*** Pretty sure that it's along the lines of "Hay! Kids! Don't make a Hobbit of this!"
74	** Another example: in [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2096.html comic #2096]], Lambert's hobbit-pun is ruined by a (rather ominous, but that's not the point) cough. Lambert probably meant "hobbit-hat," a pun on "habitat."
75	** [[http://irregularwebcomic.net/3177.html The Quintessential Fifth Elementalist.]] [[spoiler:Consider the literal meaning of the word "quintessential".]]
76	* In [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0130.html this]] filler strip of ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'', we're treated to the OrphanedPunchline of a (naughty) joke that ends with "What I '''really''' meant is that we'd need cunning '''translators'''." See, in ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'', your translation ability is measured by your score in "Linguistics", so apparently the joke began with her telling the king that she needed... I'll leave you to figure out [[CunningLinguist the rest]].
77	%%* [[http://www.drunkduck.com/Life_and_Death/index.php?p=528468 You actually named it "Variety"?]]
78	%%** The guy in white is Bobby, the incarnation of Life.
79	* In [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/197 this]] ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'' strip, Yuki's brother teases her about calling a large animal vet, and then he starts making cow noises. This doesn't make any sense unless you infer that she was yelling "mou" (used in Japanese as a frustration noise, like "Rrrgh!"), which sounds a lot like "moo."
80	* In ''Webcomic/MonsterPulse'', one of the [[spoiler: kids recruited by Lulenski and Rjinder to get their own monsters]] is Claire. She's easily the most cowardly [[spoiler: of the four]], to the point where she's scared of Luna, her own monster. Said monster happens to be made of her spine. [[spoiler: She's spineless.]]
81	* It's easy to miss the cirrhosis joke in [[http://mountaincomics.com/2013/01/28/mountain-time-427 this]] ''Webcomic/MountainTime'' strip.
82	* ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' has Dave finding a girlfriend online. She's reluctant to meet him in person. He asks her, "Are you afraid I'll turn you off?" [[spoiler:Ironic, since she's actually a computer.]] Later, Dave actually does turn her off [[spoiler:when he downloads his mind into her hardware and erases her, leading to a ShoutOut to ''2001: A Space Odyssey'': "Dave, what are you doing? I'm afraid, Dave ..."]]
83	* ''Webcomic/NerfNow'' [[http://nerfnow.com/comic/67 with]] a classic riddle and a..."[[MemeticMutation modern classic]]" Dracula. [[spoiler:"What is a man?"]]
84	* ''Webcomic/{{Nukees}}'':
85	** After going through Gav's storage, with labels such as "[[http://www.nukees.com/d/20090907.html torn vinyl]]" for rent records, King Luca comments "one big room of superfluous word association! What wouldst thy psychologist think?" to which Gav directs him to a box labeled "duckorations." [[spoiler:Quacks.]]
86	** In a BangsianFantasy sequence, Marduk refers to Bacchus as "Dialysis," and when Gav calls him on it comments that it "makes more sense in Greek." [[spoiler:Being a pun on "Dionysus."]]
87	* ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}'':
88	** In one scene, while mourning the apparent death of a character, the Zoan ambassador, who is gay, is shown with a bundle of sticks tied to his head as part of his funeral garb...AKA a faggot...which also counts as mourning wood.
89	** Kronar is part of a ManlyGay barbarian tribe that reproduces via HomosexualReproduction, and states that his bloodline has been free from woman's taint for a hundred generations. You don't say.[[note]]the joke being that "taint" means "stain" (as a misogynistic insult) and is also crude slang for a bit of female anatomy[[/note]]
90	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick''
91	** Vaarsuvius's second EvilCounterpart is named Pompey. [[spoiler:Vaarsuvius -- sounds like Vesuvius; Pompey -- Pompeii.]]
92	** Leeky Windstaff's hawk is named Kitty. [[DontExplainTheJoke As in kitty hawk.]]
93	** In [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0471.html this strip]], fleeing the burning city, Elan stops to break into a music shop and steals a lute. The setup is palpable, but the inevitable pun goes unsaid. [[spoiler:He lutes the store.]]
94	** Not to mention [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0693.html here]], in which Roy must get [[spoiler:familiar]] with Blackwing.
95	** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0750.html Malack spell-checking Durkon's scroll]]. Spell-checking. Got it?
96	** The three empires on the Western continent are never mentioned together in the same sentence. They're the Empires of ''Blood'', ''Sweat'', and ''Tears''.
97	** In [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0489.html this]] strip, exactly how vicious [[TokenEvilTeammate Belkar]] is measured on a chart. That would make the part on the left an [[spoiler:Axis of Evil.]]
98	** In [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0782.html this]] strip, the gladitorial matchups are shown on paper. The 8th and 9th ranked fighters are Vermillius and Ceruleaus. That matchup is WebAnimation/RedVsBlue
99	** In "The Polearm Shop", which is a WholePlotReference, the last panel features a snake. Presumably, he is [[spoiler:Monty Python]].
100	** When Sabine breaks a viewing screen in response to [[spoiler:Nale's father killing him]], [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0914.html we can see blood coming out of it.]] [[spoiler:It's a ''plasma''-screen TV.]]
101	*** That one's just a CallBack or maybe a BrickJoke. [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0637.html It's an HD (Hell-Damned) blood plasma screen.]]
102	* See if you can spot the stealth VisualPun in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/12/22/ this]] ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip when Gabe sneaks into Tycho's room.[[labelnote:Give up?]]Tycho has a picture of the actual Tycho Brahe on his wall.[[/labelnote]]
103	* [[http://pbfcomics.com/comics/mrs-hammer/ This]] ''ComicStrip/ThePerryBibleFellowship'' strip has one as an added bonus joke: Imagine what the hammer is saying in the last panel.
104	** Not to mention the fact that he's giving the other guy a hammering.
105	* [[http://www.precociouscomic.com/archive/comic/2009/09/06 This]] ''[[http://www.precociouscomic.com Precocious]]'' strip, which was actually explained by its creator:
106	-->"Et Tu, Brute?" -- Famous line from Julius Caesar.
107	-->The Et family really should know better than to go out in pairs.
108	* ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' has the typewriter/tommygun used by [[spoiler:Problem Sleuth when he finally activates Sepulchritude.]] What's another nickname for the Thompson submachine gun? The Chicago Typewriter.
109	* ''Webcomic/ThePropertyOfHate'' tends to use these every so often, adding on to the various details in the story. So far it's got:
110	** The Lie, introduced in [[http://tpoh.smackjeeves.com/comics/1480104/rushes-page-23/ Chapter 2: Page 23]], which is a cute little thing that happens to be white in colour. In other words, it's a ''white lie''.
111	** For example: A sleeping RGB's speech bubble is blank white - it's ''white noise''.
112	** ''Chapter 9'' has Julienne and Melody ''cut off'' from the rest of the group with [[spoiler: [[FramingDevice scissors]].]]
113	** During Chapter 11: Page 192, RGB ''literally'' steals a kiss.
114	* ''Webcomic/PvP!'' has in one strip Brent tell Francis the following joke:
115	--> '''Brent:''' Did you hear the one about the cannibal who dumped his girlfriend?\
116	(''{{beat}}'')\
117	'''Francis:''' Ewww... gross!
118	** At the end, Brent even calls it a Stealth Joke.
119	* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' features a character named Leslie Bean, who is, [[PunnyName as her name suggests]], a lesbian... but the more subtle pun comes from the fact that she joined the main cast around the time Ethan lost his role as OnlySaneMan, and now tends to be the voice of reason in {{Seinfeldian Conversation}}s and hijinks, making her... [[spoiler:the straight man]].
120	* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20080811 shows what happens]] when you try to go through a dungeon designed for several players by yourself in a [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPG]] like ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft''. When Torg tries to do it, all the monsters get together and hand him a gift. When he opens it to see what it is, it turns out he is, in fact, getting his ass handed to him.
121	** Timeless Space has a race of anthro deer/moose/caribou called [[Franchise/PiratesoftheCaribbean "Caribs" and is partially populated by pirates]].
122	* ''Webcomic/StarImpact'''s [[ColorfulThemeNaming Yellow]], [[CombatCommentator a boxing commentator]], has been said to give ''color commentary.''
123	* In [[http://www.stripteasecomic.com/d/20080320.html this]] episode of ''Striptease'', in a flashback to high school, Max and Em are squirted with red paint by another student, who is then caught by the teacher... [[spoiler:red-handed.]]
124	* The English title of ''Webcomic/TouhouNekokayou'' is "Scarlet Weather Archive in Japanese Red." This is taken from the Franchise/TouhouProject canon {{Gaiden\|Game}} FightingGame ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody'' and the [[AllThereInTheManual book]] ''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red.'' [[spoiler:[[Music/{{Queen}} Then someone noticed what the]] ''[[Music/{{Queen}} other]]'' [[Music/{{Queen}} halves of the names make]].]]
125	** Near the end of ''[[InteractiveComic Create.swf Adventures]]: Shenanigans in a Magical Forest'', it's revealed that all of the "player" characters have their own individual "Hax Sign" spellcards. As [[spoiler:Yasora]]'s spellcards begin to wind down, everyone except Marisa uses their respective Hax Sign spellcard, with a fair amount of success. Cue the final sequence, where Marisa's all ready to bust out her long-awaited Hax Sign: [[spoiler:Sepiechritude (a shout out to Webcomic/ProblemSleuth's Sepulchritude]], which everyone assumes to be a huge [[BeamSpam beam attack]] or something of the sort, as per Marisa's trademarks. Then someone noticed [[spoiler:the "[[BrickJoke pie]]" in "[[RuleOfFunny Sepiechritude]]..."]]
126	* [[http://www.treelobsters.com/2009/08/75-but-wait-theres-more.html This]] ''Webcomic/TreeLobsters'' comic has a clever one. On its surface, the comic works as a relatively straightforward parody of infomercials. Look closely at the description on panel 3, though, then look up elements 11 and 17 on the periodic table. [[spoiler:Sodium and Chloride, respectively. In other words, [[DontExplainTheJoke it's a grain of salt]].]]
127	* In ''Webcomic/TriangleAndRobert'', one of the plotlines involves Triangle fighting things to recover a series of "Dragon Circles," which are lettered A, B, C, etc. When he gets to the 25th one, Dragon Circle Y, he discovers that's the end of them, there are only 25. "Somehow, avoiding the pun makes it even worse."
128	* ''Webcomic/VGCats'' has the side webcomic ''Super Effective'' giving us breaking news of the death of a legend... [[http://www.vgcats.com/super/?strip_id=26 Elvis.]] Note which Pokémon is giving us the news.
129	* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'':
130	** [[https://www.xkcd.com/404 Strip #404]]. [[spoiler: Note the title.]]
131	** [[https://www.xkcd.com/532 This]] strip doubles the stakes. It's based on another joke with a StealthPun[=chline=].
132	** [[https://xkcd.com/1561/ "Water Phase Diagram"]] plays on the song "Under Pressure," not quite stating its title but alluding to its SampledUp status.
133	* ''Webcomic/XWhy'': The layout of [[https://mrburkemath.blogspot.com/2019/11/twisted-logic-nay.html this comic]], puts Descartes jokes before the horse jokes.
