8	* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater''. [[OverusedRunningGag Every. Single. Episode.]] The first of which is Black Mage's "NO I AM NOT UNDRESSING YOU WITH THE POWER OF MY MIND!"
9	** A significant aversion/lampshade [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2007/10/30/episode-913-the-last-of-the-9xx-jokes/ here]], where Thief forgets to do the "denial" part of this trope.
10	** [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2005/09/01/episode-593-a-three-way-tie-in-the-stupid-race/ Another lampshade]]. ("We're heroes and totally not charlatans." "What an odd thing to say.")
11	* ''Webcomic/AnsemRetort'' has Sora saying "No, I'm not trying to summon Creator/BillMurray and the other Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}!" right as he was in the middle of that.
12	** It's later averted, though, when Axel denies that he was blowing up a town with his mind...only to say "and by 'not' I mean 'totally am'. [[{{Dissimile}} And by 'mind' I mean 'penis']]...[[{{Metaphorgotten}} I'm not sure where I'm going with this anymore.]]
13	* In the ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'' parody of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''
14	-->'''Guenevere/Buffy''': Who are you?
15	-->'''Lancelot/Angel''': Well, I'm totally not one of the demons you're destined to destroy, even if I ''were'' one uniquely re-ensouled by a curse to make me compassionate and tortured and broody.
16	-->I mean, if that's what you were thinking.
17	-->'''Arthur/Xander''': We ''weren't''.
18	* With ''ComicBook/AtomicRobo'' transitioning to a webcomic, the FCBD 2015 story has Dr Dinosaur, serving as his own lawyer, call a SurpriseWitness who is most definitely not a genetically engineered killing machine. When it turns out that it actually is a genetically engineered killing machine, Robo is not surprised.
19	* The after-comic text from [[https://www.awkwardzombie.com/comic/treading-water this]] ''Webcomic/AwkwardZombie'' comic explains ScheduleSlip.
20	* Definitely not shown [[http://www.bearandtiger.com/?p=64 here]] in ''Bear and Tiger''. That would be ridiculous.
21	* Done deliberately by ''Webcomic/BladeBunny''. To prevent someone lighting a cauldron, she assures him she didn't put any explosives in it.
22	* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'': "Are you planning to take over the world?" "[[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/020111 Certainly not.]] And [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking I definitely haven't kidnapped George.]]"
23	* ''Webcomic/BobTheAngryFlower'': [[http://www.angryflower.com/genoci.html "Whoa whoa whoa-- who said anything about GENOCIDE?"]]
24	* [[http://www.bobwhitecomics.com/?webcomic_post=20090615 This strip]] of ''Webcomic/{{Bobwhite}}'':
25	-->'''Alison:''' You know Illustrator, right?\
26	'''Ivy:''' Oh, totally! I really do know that one. I wasn't lying to pad this resume or anything, 'cuz if I was lying, I would have to say I don't know Illustrator at all, and it's weird and scary to me!... Because that's not the case.
27	* ''Webcomic/BrunoTheBandit'''s parents and microdragon sidekick did ''not'' [[http://www.brunothebandit.com/d/20051121.html go on a quest to solve a 2000 year old mystery]] and get replaced by impostors.
28	* ''Webcomic/ButImACatPerson'': Bennett, insisting he [[spoiler: [[http://erinptah.com/catperson/comic/chapter-eight-page-2/ doesn't care about Cybele]].]] Later, Sparrow, when asked [[http://erinptah.com/catperson/comic/chapter-nineteen-page-24/ if she's noticed that the Dog hasn't been seen recently]].
29	* ''Webcomic/{{Cheer}}'': [[http://www.cheercomic.com/index.php?date=2009-04-03 "I wasn't kissing anyone at all!"]]
30	* Roger of ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' is ''not'' a ''werecoyote!''
31	* In [[http://www.screencuisine.net/hlcomic/index.php?date=2006-06-09 this]] ''Webcomic/{{Concerned}}'' strip:
32	-->'''Frohman:''' Even though it looks like I'm just slapping my hands randomly on the keyboard, I'm actually placing the order! For guns! You're not being duped or lied to like you might think!"
33	** Subverted because [[spoiler:he screws up and really does order lots of guns]].
34	** On the day after Freeman's raid on Nova Prospekt, the local PropagandaMachine ran the headline "EVERYTHING IS FINE", with multiple articles explaining that nothing had happened at Nova Prospekt, which was doing totally perfectly and had seen nothing bad happen to it.
35	* ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'': Ethan is playing Nintendogs on his DS, and when Lilah comes, he hides the DS (still on) in his pants. Then he denies being playing Nintendogs. Then the Nintendog barks. HilarityEnsues.
36	* On ''Website/{{Danbooru}}'', the {{Tsundere}} meme is taken [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/537009/ to its logical conclusion]].
37	* Considering the plot line of ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', [[http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0409.html this]] ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' episode definitely qualifies. Then there's [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0599.html this one]]...
38	* [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1052 This]] ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' strip.
39	-->'''T-Rex:''' I'm CERTAINLY not writing erotica in my head right now.\
40	'''T-Red:''' ''(thoughts)'' Aw man! Why would I even say that??
41	* ''Webcomic/DoubleK'' does this with Simon attempting to pose as a prostitute.
42	-->'''Simon:''' Just so we're clear, you want to pay for sexual favors, right? Not that I'm trying to establish probable cause or anything!
43	* In ''Webcomic/DragonMango'', Bleu Berry and her father Goz (a dragon) get into [[http://www.dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter04/dm04-10.htm a heated row]]. When she counters his threat to tear her to little pieces and feast upon her entrails by pointing out that if he does, he might never have an heir, he threatens to eat one of her friends instead. In response, she makes [[http://www.dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter04/dm04-33.htm a presentation]] to her class on how to defend against dragon attacks entitled, "Discussion Intended to Educate Defence Against Dragons" (DIEDAD), which includes a diagram of an "entirely hypothetical dragon" labelled, "Generic Dragon - Not Particularly Based on Anyone's Dad".
44	* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'':
45	** Tedd, in [[http://www.egscomics.com/?id=125/ this]] comic.
46	--->'''Tedd:''' Why, father, I have been in the bathroom all along and not sleeping with the squirrel girl as previously suggested.
47	** And Grace totally wasn't [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2011-06-17 chasing her tails]], if that's what you're thinking.
48	** And Tedd is jealous of Nanase, but [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2012-07-05 not because of anything she's done with Elliot.]] Although, in this case, he may be justified in the pre-emptive denial since everybody always makes that assumption about him and Elliot anyway.
49	** Don't even start with Tedd's father who is very bad at covering things up, but still somehow makes it work. One of the more ridiculous being putting aliens in shirts that say things like "human" or "not an alien". [[RefugeInAudacity And it works.]] Probably mostly because of the RuleOfFunny.
50	** The spellbooks. They're books that contain impossibly verbose descriptions of their owner's spells and grow with each new spell the owner gets. They disguise themselves (very badly) as normal books, with titles such as: ''[[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1116 The Ecology of Anteaters (Not a Spellbook)]]'' (Susan's), ''[[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2184 A Perfectly Normal Book]]'' (Elliot's), or ''[[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2208 The Tacos of Yesteryear]]'' (not linked to anyone yet).
51	** Constantly by Dan himself in the commentary. "Anyway, that's all I have to say about [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1643 this comic]]. There's absolutely nothing else to comment on. At all. Nope! See you next comic."
52	** Lisa in [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-07-22 this]] FAQ strip:
53	-->"And then there's the 'Party' form, who probably ''isn't'' a lesbian but ''acts'' like it to put on a show for the men, all the while giving the women she makes out with false hope before '''''[[RageBreakingPoint leaving with some guy!]]'''''...But that, uh, that's just a theory and not at all based on anything from my first year of college...
54	** In the comic's earlier arcs, there was a RunningGag of Tedd denying that he crossdresses in women's clothing. [[DontExplainTheJoke Because, you see]], it's not technically crossdressing to wear women's clothing if he ''is'' a woman [[GenderBender at the time]].
55	* In ''Webcomic/EveryButtonHurtsTheOtherGuy'' Buffalo makes it entirely clear that the selection process that determines the tournament ladder is not rigged. He says this while strapped to a wheel of fortune labelled with the participants' names, playing the part of the needle.
56	* ''Webcomic/EverydayAbnormal'': Asuka wasn't [[KissingWarmUp kissing her hand.]] That would be weird. She wasn't [[BlatantLies thinking about a boy]]. And he definitely wasn't British.
57	* [[http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2007-05-25/comic/black-and-white/i-spy/ This]] ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' strip makes fun of this trope, with a spy camera clearly marked with a "Property of Mobian Inquisition" label, with a suggestion by [[spoiler:Jamilla]] that the label should have read "'''Not''' property of the Mobian Inquisition". [[spoiler:Morth]] sarcastically snarks that that would have fooled him completely.
58	* In ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', a police officer confirms that Florence is not at police station, and she's not at the jail. Is she at the dog pound? [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2400/fc02339.htm "Sorry, I can't answer that question."]]
59	* Collin of ''Webcomic/FriendlyHostility'' accused Fox of [[TrashOfTheTitans letting his desk get so filthy it had gained sentience]], at which point a small voice from the desk piped up with "I have not."
60	* ''Webcomic/FullFrontalNerdity'': During a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' game, Frank describes a monster that runs down the hall, at which point Lewis and Nelson begin discussing whether they should chase it or not when suddenly there's the sound of pages flipping from Shawn's speakers (Shawn is a webcam). Frank asks if he's looking up the monster, but Shawn claims that he's merely checking out his company's health insurance policy, then announces that his policy is "so good, it would cover me if I was attacked by a reptile that spits acid and has razor-sharp claws with reach attacks."
61	* In ''Webcomic/GeneralProtectionFault'', Nick gives these regarding his job offer from JCN even before he's given a situation where he should be denying anything (such as when he overhears Ki and Sharon talking about what Ki will do for a job). Ki presses him, making a few guesses about what has got him nervous, until she finally gets it right.
62	-->'''Nick''': Nope! No job anxiety here! Didn't get an impossible-to-turn-down dream job! Nosiree! Not me!
63	-->'''Ki''': Bingo.
64	* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' does this with the "Revenge of the Weasel Queen" story. A Spark who is obviously said Weasel Queen begins to describe what's going on in a neutral way, but quickly demonstrates bias and sparksanity.
65	* Nobody in [[spoiler:Saves-a-Fox]]'s party in ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' even knew it was possible for monsters to level as adventurers before that character denied having done so.
66	* In ''Webcomic/GoGetARoomie'', Allan has definitely never had dreams about [[http://gogetaroomie.chloe-art.com/2011/02/dragons-and-unicorns/ "steamy encounters with pink unicorns and dragons with rows of penis on its back".]]
67	* ''Webcomic/TheGoodWitch'': The ensorceled Chase combines this trope with LoopholeAbuse [[http://tgw.smackjeeves.com/comics/903622/ch-5-pg-98/ when he warns his friends about things his "Master" ordered him not to talk about.]]
68	* The robots of ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' seem prone to this. First the [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=7 "NO spare robot parts" door]], and later a [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=549 "situation" in the above pic]].
69	** Likewise, Janet and Winsbury, when they're trying to keep their SecretRelationship a secret.
70	-->'''[[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=618 Winsbury]]:''' Where is she?! Janet should have been back by now. I mean... Not that I care or anything.
71	* In Webcomic/{{Hiimdaisy}}'s comic strip on ''VideoGame/Persona4'', we have the introduction of Naoto
72	-->'''Naoto:''' Did someone say '''girls'''? Because I'm a boy, just so you know.
73	** And then there's this gem
74	-->'''Yosuke:''' Did anything strange happen to you lately?
75	-->'''Kanji:''' Strange? [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday You sayin' I like dudes?]]
76	* ''Webcomic/HijinksEnsue'': Josh definitely has [[http://hijinksensue.com/?p=1736 neither a sensory deprivation chamber, nor any LSD]]. Especially not the LSD, and especially not in his ''Heroes'' season 3 DVD case.
77	** Eli is [[http://hijinksensue.com/comic/i-prefer-the-term-artificial-person-myself/ just giving Joel a Roomba]]. "Nothing horrific has happened to it or anything!"
78	* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
79	** Karkat [[https://www.homestuck.com/story/2790 insists]] he never tried to solicit a [[SlapSlapKiss caliginous relationship]] from John. John sees no reason not to believe him (their universes are mutual [[PlaceBeyondTime places beyond time]], so Karkat's past actions are still in John's future), until . . .
80	-->'''?CG:''' AND JOHN, PURELY HYPOTHETICALLY, IF ONE OF US IN THE FUTURE DOES MAKE SOME SORT OF SOLICITATION YOU DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND...
81	-->'''?CG:''' IT MIGHT BE THE CASE THAT THIS PERSON HAS GOTTEN TOO WRAPPED UP IN A SORT OF CALIGINOUS IDEAL
82	-->'''?CG:''' AND GET CARRIED AWAY, POSSIBLY SO MUCH SO THEY WERE BLIND TO HOW COMPLETELY FUCKED UP AND WEIRD IT WOULD BE TO PURSUE ANYTHING LIKE THAT WITH ANOTHER SPECIES
83	-->'''?CG:''' ESPECIALLY ONE THAT DIDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND [[BizarreAlienReproduction THE CONCEPT OF A CALIGINIOUS RELATIONSHIP]]
84	-->'''?CG:''' [[BlatantLies BUT I'M NOT THAT PERSON.]] I HAVE A FIRM GRASP ON HOW DERANGED AND UNNATURAL ANY SORT OF [[InterspeciesRomance INTERSPECIES RELATIONSHIP]] WOULD BE
85	** Another example when BrainwashedAndCrazy Jade visits Dave:
86	-->'''JADE:''' he was just here wasnt he\
87	'''DAVE:''' no\
88	'''JADE:''' how do you even know who im talking about??\
89	'''DAVE:''' look all i know is egbert most definitely didnt just appear out of nowhere and catch me weeplaughing at my selfies
90	* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'': Peanut certainly did [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/03/11/delayed-reaction/ not see]] [[JerkAss Bino's]] [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2009/03/09/bzzt/ shock collar remote]].
91	* ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' has [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2792.html this]] strip's annotation denying Morgan-Mar's quest to gain a mention on every Website/TVTropes page.
92	* ''WebComic/IslaAukate'': Overlord Fox is [[https://overlordcomic.com/archive/default/pages/117 seen]] resting her head on Steele's chest. She says it's for checking his heart rate. Silver points out there are other methods to do that.
93	* In ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'' [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0251.html #251]], Marena's patient attempt to explain to Secret how she and Racer are ''not'' members of a nonexistent secret society that does not in fact wear white veils to identify their members and has no political influence whatsoever. This is in keeping with the original supplement which did not describe a similar society, nor give any rules for a hypothetical martial arts style it might have used.
94	* ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo'' has this trope down to a T, most recently [[http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20101108 here]].
95	* [[http://www.lilformers.com/index.php/2008/09/15/lil-formers-114-clone-wars/ This]] ''Webcomic/LilFormers'' strip is also an example, or at least a variation.
96	* From ''Morning Glory'':
97	-->'''Son:''' Dad, have you seen mom around lately?\
98	'''Father:''' I don't appreciate you accusing me of killing your mother.
99	* In ''Webcomic/MacHall'', Ian's line:
100	-->'''Ian''': Have you ever started to make pancakes, then decided you didn't really want pancakes, and then just started drinking the batter to finish it off?
101	-->'''JM''': No.
102	-->'''Ian''': Yeah, me neither. Boy, that sure would be weird.
103	* In ''Webcomic/TheMidnightTeaParty'' story BEKS the black eyed kids are quick to assure people that [[http://midnight-tea-party.smackjeeves.com/comics/2035127/03-beks/ they don't have anything sharp]] and that "[[http://midnight-tea-party.smackjeeves.com/comics/2038320/09-beks/ this isn't even a trick]]".
104	* ''Webcomic/MyMammaIsInBurnedIsOut'': One of the science lovers tries to defend burning by stating it does not destroy property and ruin lives.
105	* In ''Webcomic/MythTickle'', Boody tells Thunder Bell that Thor is not hiding behind a tree. [[http://www.gocomics.com/comic/explore/1338661/13 Boody is then amazed at her brilliance when she looks there.]]
106	* In ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'', when Artie asks Helen if the experiment she's part of had a control group, she says:
107	-->"You mean other clones... adopted out to ordinary families, living normal lives until madness sets in? Some half-dozen identical blonde women, eventually hunted down and assassinated by my mother for dissection, as I would be if I hadn't bought a rifle? Why, Artie! That would be deeply unethical!"
108	* Tentacle Boy from ''Webcomic/NSFWComix'' denies contemplating lustful thoughts.
109	* ''OneSmallStep'' offers [[http://www.osscomic.com/comics/spotty-history/ this]] explanation of Jupiter's red spot.
110	--> '''Qwerty (with a guilty expression):''' It's not because a middle school science fair project accidentally created a time/space vortex which sucked up the sacred Crimson Sea (and adjacent religious study center and theme park) transporting it all to a gas giant in a distant solar system in a temporal causality loop! ''(beat)'' Yeah, that's '''not''' why it's there.
111	* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
112	-->'''Vaarsuvius:''' None of us have ever tampered with the fundamental natural order when bored. [[AndThatWouldBeWrong That would be wrong]].
113	** Prequel book ''On the Origin of [=PCs=]'' has a [[GraveHumor tombstone for one Bloodmak the Unholy]], who's "not coming back as a vampire. Honest."
114	*** The prequels are also a meta-example: as the author himself pointed, they were drawn in black-and-white for purely aesthetic reasons that had nothing to do with printing costs.
115	** Also in "On the Origin of [=PCs=]", when Roy offers Elan the last spot on the team, Elan in his excitement promises "to be the bestest bard ever... and never accidentally lead you into an ambush..." Roy notes at the time that "That's an oddly specific promise..."
116	** Sometimes [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0238.html in song]]!
117	** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0156.html Definitely NOT a Bandit Camp.]]
118	** "[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0403.html Order of the Stick and mysterious cloaked stranger who is totally NOT a halfling on stilts]]".
119	*** In that same comic, "[[ButHeSoundsHandsome I'm sure whoever it was]] had a really good reason and is really, really sorry."
120	** A variant: Elan and Roy are pretending not to know each other. Then they are introduced...
121	--> "Hi! I'm Elan! What's your name, Roy?"
122	** Minrah's first line, in her first appearance in the comic, is a [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1093.html Suspiciously Specific Assurance]]:
123	--> "You should just run from our holy power that we definitely have more of!"
124	* The ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'' [[http://ozyandmillie.org/2001/06/13/ozy-and-millie-2016/ comic strip for 2001-06-13 has an instance of this]].
125	* [[EmotionlessGirl Taffe]] of ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'' gets unusually flustered whenever [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV03CH01n200.html Cinna teases]] [[http://www.sailorenergy.net/MangaPacificators/MangaPacisV03CH01n216.html her about]] [[TallDarkAndHandsome Gincoi]].
126	* ''WebComic/{{Paranatural}}'': [[https://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-7-page-45 The three vampire thralls posing as normal teenager camp counselors]]. They spend all day in the shade drinking "V8". From blood bags. That they get from a medical freezer with a medical cross sign. Which has "BLOOD" crossed out and "Normal Drinks" written underneath.
127	* A variation in panel three of [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2003/7/23/ this]] ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' strip.
128	** And three different ones in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/10/12/ this strip]].
129	** Also [[http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/08/17 this one]], verging on [[MostDefinitelyNotAVillain Most Definitely Not A Ghost]].
130	** And this:
131	-->'''Gabe''': Have you ever pooped and then smelled the smell of your own poop and thought it kinda smelled good? Like sort of wild and exotic."
132	-->'''BeatPanel'''
133	-->'''Gabe''': Me either!
134	* ''Webcomic/PvP'':
135	** Cole insists that ass-scapes.com is [[http://www.pvponline.com/brent-and-the-devil-pt-7/ "Not a porn site I subscribe to!]]"
136	** Scratch Fury tries to [[http://pvponline.com/comic/2018-07-26 adopt a kitten]] "to love and care for... not to perform mind altering experiments on."
137	* [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1369 This]] ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' page.
138	** Even more so, [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=596 this one]].
139	** Or [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1621 this one]].
140	** [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1093 This one]] is a little more vague, but still a great example.
141	** In [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1609 this one]], Hannelore has just given first aid to Marten, and Faye jokes that she wanted the opportunity to collect Marten's blood for cloning. It was a joke, but she jumps and exclaims, shocked:
142	--->'''Hanners:''' What?! I would '''never''' do that!
143	::: She goes on to explain why exactly it would be scientifically impractical, and that at most she could analyze Marten's genetic history. The room is very silent after this. (And they don't even know that she ''has'' just collected a sample of his blood).
144	** Hanners [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1638 again.]]
145	--->'''Hanners:''' I promise I won't become so fixated on you I eventually murder you and make a suit out of your skin!
146	*** The twist is, of course, that Hannelore REALLY MEANT that she wouldn't spy on Marten or fixate on Marigold. She's just like that.
147	** The sign on the wall in this [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1997 strip]] makes the promise that the robots they sell are "guaranteed not to go insane and kill your loved ones."
148	** Pintsize gets a lengthy one about his new body [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4536 here]], which prompts Claire to say "How about we don't go sit on that park bench and talk it out?"
149	* This quote from ''Webcomic/PennyBlackfeather'' speaks for itself:
150	-->'''Brobdiggon''': I had nothing to do with his strange disappearance.
151	* Even ''Webcomic/RealLifeComics'' has [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/030228.html played with this trope]]. [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/archive/030804.html With predictable results.]]
152	* [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1286# This]] ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' panel.
153	** And [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=974# this one]].
154	** And [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/?db=comics&id=1119# this one]].
155	* ''Webcomic/SamAndFuzzy'' introduced Carlyle with [[http://samandfuzzy.com/106 one of these]].
156	** They use the trope again in [[http://samandfuzzy.com/143 this strip]]. Again in relation to Carlyle.
157	* The tagline for the [[CerebusSyndrome second]] [[DenserAndWackier volume]] of ''Webcomic/{{Roomies}}'' is "It's totally still about college, we swear!" The cover is a [[ArtImitatingArt riff]] on ''Giant-Sized ComicBook/XMen'', with the collge cast as the original X-Men, and SEMME as the All-New All-Different team.
158	* ''Webcomic/{{Selkie}}'': When Amanda asks Todd [[https://selkiecomic.com/comic/selkie1007/ what the deal is]] with the [[https://selkiecomic.com/comic/selkie1006/ mysterious laser beam]] coming from Lake Superior, Todd tries to claim he doesn't know, but does so in an overly-specific and not very convincing way. Luckily, Amanda doesn't notice.
159	-->'''Todd:''' I-I don't know, Amanda. I have no knowledge of anything unusual that may or may not be located in Lake Superior.
160	* ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'' does it in [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=47186#187453 this strip]]:
161	-->'''Unity:''' What were you doing to our lamp?\
162	'''Phoebe:''' Um, ''not'' installing surveillance hardware?\
163	'''Unity:''' OK, cool!\
164	'''Phoebe:''' And I doubted Central when they said that'd work.
165	** [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=42183#strip4 :"DO NOT OPEN THE MAN-PORTABLE FUSION PIE"]]
166	** "[[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/memberimages/sh101103the_plexiglass.jpg I am a totally normal alive human federal agent]]" ''(arm detaches and falls off)'' "... [[BlatantLies who has a cold]]." It's probably no coincidence that all the above instances involve Unity.
167	** Nevertheless, Sweetheart plays it to the hilt [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/wheels-on-the/ here]].
168	** In [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/can-be this strip]], Tip is worried that nonhuman sapients seem to be getting targeted by some kind of weather control, when Nick's Definitely Not a Hurricane in the Florida Keys alarm goes off. Tip very nearly mentions the trope by name.
169	--->'''Tip''': [[LampshadeHanging That was suspiciously specific]].
170	--->'''Nick''': Good thing there ain't a major nonhuman settlement there!
171	** Some Anasigma agents get into it [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/what-youd/ here]].
172	* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'':
173	** Also [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/980109 this one]].
174	--->'''Torg:''' Don't be silly! Besides, the bathroom doesn't ''have'' any windows... or employee entrances, or air-ducts, or crawl-spaces. No forms of escape whatsoever.
175	** "Hi Gwynn! We'd like you to meet our bearded and cloaked friend, Chip! Chip has a beard, unlike Riff!"
176	** And the Guacans of the Punyverse: "We have one of the most expensive, broad reaching tourism departments in the universe! You can't walk a block without seeing a 'Come to Chau-5, we won't eat you' billboard!"
177	** [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/20020615 In "Dangerous Days Ahead"]]:
178	---> '''Riff:''' OK, Schlock. Where's Hereti-Corp holding Bert and Torg?
179	---> '''Schlock:''' They've got Gwynn and your girlfriend too. Just moved them to [=AyleeOrgNet.Com=] offices.
180	---> '''Riff:''' You sure?
181	---> '''Schlock:''' Check out this general employee e-memo that I snagged.
182	---> ''"All employees have the rest of the week off in celebration of No-Bert-Gwynn-Torg-Sasha-Here Day!"''
183	---> '''Riff:''' Then that's where we're going.
184	---> '''Schlock:''' Riff, Aylee has that place armed like a fortress! This is obviously a trap!
185	---> '''Riff:''' You sure?
186	---> '''Schlock:''' Check out where that message originated!
187	---> ''"Department of Nonfortress-Arming Nontrapness."''
188	** "You look like Zoë's friend Riff." "Oh no, I'm [[TotemPoleTrench much taller]]."
189	** Near the beginning of "A Time for Hair-Raising"[[note]]Actually this part is in the end of "Torg Potter and the Giblets of Fiber" for some reason, but it's clearly part of the next story.[[/note]]:
190	---> '''Torg''': Where's Zoë and Gwynn?
191	---> '''Aylee''': Not "dead and stuffed in the closet," if that's what you mean!
192	** In Chapter 71: "Unsuspicioustech, Inc. Not a subsidiary of Hereti-Corp"
193	** In chapter 73: "The Immortal King", Gwynn's friends are trying to help Gwynn when she's being stalked by a supernatural entity that can see and hear everything around her. They're trying to act unsuspicious and like they're just having lunch with her, leading to Torg and then others to keep using the word "unsuspicious" about everything, especially the lunch.
194	* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'':
195	** Kim has sex with Davan [[DudeShesLikeInAComa while he's unconscious]]. When Aubrey walks in, Kim responds thus:
196	--->"Oh, hi, Aubrey! Davan and I were just [[IHaveToGoIronMyDog working on our nude ventriloquism act]]. Say hello to the nice lady, Davan! 'Hi, Aubrey! Boy, if there's one thing Kim and I didn't do today, it's have sex!'"
197	** When Shirley babysits [=PamJee=], Aubery [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp01172015.shtml frisks him for toys]], and is surprised she can't find any.
198	--->'''Shirley''': You think I'm going to buy [=PamJee=] a fancy toy, spend six hours looking up how to carefully dissemble it online, spend another three hours taking it apart, putting all the pieces into small balloons, and choosing the right time to swallow them so they're out of my system right after you leave and ready to be reassembled? All the while worrying I forgot to bookmark the rebuilding instructions?
199	* ''Webcomic/{{SSDD}}'':
200	** [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20011203.html Norman claims]] that crash was "definitely not the sound of a toilet crashing into the basement after somebody poured something really corrosive into it that dissolved half the bowl, leaked onto the floor and ate through the floorboards that collapsed a short time later."
201	** [[http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20060224.html Another time]], Dr. Cook uses the "CouldSayItBut" version to inform Central of the Anarchists' recent suspicious purchases without technically breaking their Non-Disclosure Agreement.
202	* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': The LanguageBarrier between Lalli and Emil eventually dissolves just enough for Lalli to start noticing Emil's InnocentlyInsensitive side. Since Lalli is in a depressive mindset due to recent events by the time this happens, he starts giving Emil a rant that makes it clear he doesn't consider their OddFriendship to be such a good idea anymore, and includes claiming that he "never liked [Emil's] annoying face anyway".
203	* ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'': It's only a denial by implication, but when [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/sdb-he-is-scared/ Ruby discusses her problems with sleeping with her boyfriend Andy (or not),]] she ends up describing ''the exact model of motorcycle'' involved in her metaphor (and she's no biker, though she ''is'' a bit of a nerd), suggesting that despite her previous denials, her fantasies are running amok.
204	%%* ''Webcomic/StringTheory2009'': [[http://www.stringtheorycomic.com/comics/chapter-three/page-fiftyeight/ First panel.]]
205	* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'':
206	** In "Hell Train: Hidden Level", the characters enter a virtual reality that's almost exactly like the real world. Long story short, we have Rachel, in the form of an idealised avatar that doesn't look like her at all, appearing in front of [[TheHero Bam]], who looks like himself. She doesn't want to reveal who she is:
207	--> '''Bam''': Are you a data human?
208	--> '''Rachel''': P...pro...bably? Ah! T...that's right! A data human! So you don't have to worry! I'm just an ordinary data human! Ha ha! I'm not a shady person at all!
209	** Also on the hidden level, Khun Marco Asensio, when suddenly being contacted by his sister: "I wasn't talking about our father behind his back!"
210	* Creator/TheTransformistress is a professional digital artist who is mainly known for creating comics depicting transgender euphoria, though some characters begin as closeted and in heavy, oddly specific denial. A notable example of this is ''Pastel Worlds'', in which Doro (later renamed "Adora") and Sammy (later renamed "Sammi") from the "Society of True Men" make a deal with a female programmer to play her virtual reality game, resulting in them becoming {{Magical Girl Warrior}}s in frilly dresses with magic patterned after the Trans Pride flag, shouting "Don't read into thiiiiiss~~~~!!!"
211	* ''Webcomic/TwoKinds'' features [[https://c10.patreonusercontent.com/3/eyJwIjoxfQ%3D%3D/patreon-media/p/post/34204330/6d14c5198a454f509b20dfb827560f7d/1.png?token-time=1583452800&token-hash=wbWf7KTil8fN-JXDdu9iwzZt-ig6lZGJoG88LWBYnbg%3D Sythe's reference sheet]], which specifically notes that there is "Nothing strange" about his pet squirrel Mrs. Nibbly. [[http://cdn.twokinds.keenspot.com/comics/20190824.png Just ignore the reflection in the waterfall, she's a totally normal squirrel.]]
212	* A couple in ''Webcomic/{{Unshelved}}'': [[http://www.unshelved.com/archive.aspx?strip=20060210 one]] featuring the MouthyKid and [[http://www.unshelved.com/archive.aspx?strip=20080107 a short arc about a wet chair]].
213	* ''Webcomic/{{Vexxarr}}'': [[http://www.vexxarr.com/archive.php?seldate=030911 "Warning: not a concealed escape hatch. Do not stand back. Do not check seal after closing..."]]
214	* In ''Webcomic/VGCats'', the chemist from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' who didn't look in Leo/Link's bag and didn't see any faerie in any bottle. Leo/Link catches on immediately, so he just strongly advises him stick to that story (i.e. not to blab).
215	* From one of the filler strips for ''Webcomic/TheWhiteboard'':
216	-->'''Doc:''' Hey Roj? Did you take my last Dew?\
217	'''Roger:''' You can't prove anything! I don't even ''own'' a flamethrower.\
218	'''Doc:''' Oooh-kay. I was just asking because...\
219	'''Roger:''' It must've been Swampy! He probably took it!\
220	'''Doc:''' Well, Swamps doesn't usually set fire to the fridge to cover his tracks.
221	* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'':
222	** [[http://xkcd.com/463/ This]] strip gives a rare example of a Suspiciously Specific ''Assurance.''
223	*** Another assurance-based one [[http://xkcd.com/1530 here]]. "I am a normal human typing with my human hands."
224	** [[http://xkcd.com/641/ Asbestos-free!]]
225	** One of the [[http://imgs.xkcd.com/store_news/xkcd_store_bobcat_54.png new ads]] for the shop states, "I promise I will not ship you a bobcat, probably"
226	** "What've you been up to?" "[[http://xkcd.com/1222 Definitely not spending every day consumed with worry over stupid things I never talk to anyone about.]]"
227	** "It's 3 p.m. ... oh, of course! You'll still jet-lagged!" "[[https://www.xkcd.com/1900/ I-yeah, that's it! I definitely didn't spend half the night reading Wikipedia articles about random maritime disasters.]]"
228	* Mela of ''Webcomic/WeAreTheWyrecats'' [[http://wyrecats.thecomicseries.com/comics/31 did not use mammal brains]] to test BrainUploading and definitely [[http://wyrecats.thecomicseries.com/comics/32 isn't jealous]] that K.A. has a new friend.
229	* ''Webcomic/{{Zap}}'': As Billings announces the [[SuperRegistrationAct founding of Universal Psychic Academy]]:
230	-->'''Billings''': Don't worry. (heh heh) We don't plan on exploiting the psychics for personal gain... (looks very shifty and turns red as his less stupid underlings stare dissaprovingly)
231	* In ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'' Sandra lives and breathes this trope along with BadLiar as she tries to rationalize her new demonic appearance. It's easy to see why Mike wasn't fooled.
232	-->'''Mike:''' So...\
233	'''Sandra:''' I'M NOT A DEMON!!!
