!The Comic
* ''Finger Of Suspicion''. One man with his hand permanently stuck FlippingTheBird attempting to go about his daily business. Cue being attacked by several judges and street gangs, culminating in him being (non-fatally) shot by Dredd.
* From "The Day The Law Died,"
-->'''Walter The Wobot:''' That cweep Judge Dwedd has just been here, shooting guns and waising hell.\\
'''Control:''' You're mistaken, robot. There's no Judge Dwedd on the force.
--> '''Walter The Wobot:''' Not Judge ''Dwedd''. Walter say Judge '''Dwedd'''.
* From an early story:
--> '''Dredd:''' What do you want written on your tombstone, punks?
--> '''Criminal:''' "Died of old age", Judge, we surrender!
* The reveal of Judge [[spoiler:Fish]] in "The Day the Law Died", but especially the other judges objections: "he lacks mobility", indeed!
* Later, a pair of Judges let Dredd escape because they've realized that Judge Cal is insane. The Judge in charge of their punishment knows they're right, but is afraid of Cal's reaction. So he orders them to wear women's clothing and claims Judge [[spoiler:Fish]] assigned the punishment. The best part is that ''Cal buys it''.
* [[EnsembleDarkhorse Public Defender 314]]'s habit of calling its actions. [[{{Beat}} Pause For Emphasis.]]
* Mean Machine Angel as a PrivateInvestigator in the ''Alternity'' special. The {{Unreliable|Narrator}} PrivateEyeMonologue which details his "cases" (which are essentially just {{Bar Brawl}}s that blunderingly end up pissing off TheMafia) is just downright hilarious.
* During ''The Apocalypse War'', Mega City one launches ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill twenty five]]'' [[NukeEm TADs]] at East Meg One. For reference, each TAD is capable of destroying a Mega City twice over. [[SovietSuperscience The East Meggers activate]] [[SuperweaponSurprise "The Apocalypse Warp"]], a shield that transports missiles into an AlternateUniverse. The reality the nukes arrive in is a NewAgeRetroHippie earth where peace has reigned for a thousand years. The hippies all look up, noting how pretty the nukes look, before [[BlackComedy the earth is literally shattered]].
* When the corrupt Judge Sinfield reassigns Judge Rico (the second one, not the EvilTwin) to Judge Dredd's mutant towns out of a vindictive grudge against Rico for rejecting to pass Sinfield's younger clone rookie, Rico gets in a delightyfully witty snipe before heading off.
-->'''Rico:''' Before I go, just tell me one thing... one little thing...
-->'''Sinfield:''' What?
-->'''Rico:''' What in '''Hell's name''' persuaded them to clone '''you'''!?
-->'''Sinfield:''' Get out! Get out of this office!
* "The Cursed Earth" featured a RushmoreRefacement where the leader of the Mutant Brotherhood added his face to the five presidents already present. The fifth president you ask? ''Jimmy Carter''.
* The aforementioned "The Cursed Earth" storyarc also features the legendary saga of the Burger Wars between post-apocalyptic wasteland bandits who worship [[UsefulNotes/McDonalds MacDonalds]] and [[Advertising/TheBurgerKing Burger King]] and enforce burger law on all who do not condone their burger ways. Aside from being hilarious, most versions of "The Cursed Earth" include a preface with John Wagner pointing out he has ''no clue'' how that didn't get them sued to death.
* "The League of Fatties" sees a group of Fatties go on a protest march. It promptly runs into trouble:
-->''"The fact that the march route was twenty-five kilometers long can only be put down to bad planning."''
* [[TheCaligula Judge Cal]] sentencing the entire city to death from his bathtub.
** A Judge sent to assassinate Dredd reports back to Cal, but the Chief Judge had ripped a button off his uniform. Cal orders him to strip and tells him he'll perform his duties wearing only his boots, helmet... and [[GoofyPrintUnderwear red polka-dot underwear.]] And reading on, you'll find that [[FunnyBackgroundEvent he does!]] And that [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight nobody seems to care.]]
* Gestapo Bob, leader of the Cosmic Punks, wears a helmet adorned with the phrase "There's no [[RougeAnglesOfSatin Justus]], there's just us."
* When PJ Maybe instructs Inga on how to impersonate Judge Hershey's public persona, the way she manages to turn the sentence "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" into a convoluted political speech is quite hilarious.
-->''"The dog was lazy, and while laziness in itself is not a crime, it certainly constituted an enticement to the fox, which unsurprisingly jumped over it. Several reliable accounts attest that the fox was not only brown, but extremely quick."''
* A funny little moment in an otherwise grim story happens in "America 2: Fading Of The Light". The [[UsefulNotes/AcademyAward Oscars]] are still around, but are now nicknamed the Creator/{{Arn|oldSchwarzenegger}}ies.
* Justice Department hires a flamboyant director to do a biography on Judge Dredd for public relations. He goes ''way'' overboard with HollywoodStyle in both the pitch and execution, including such highlights as the YoungerAndHipper Dredd stopping in the middle of his confrontation with Rico to have sex with a FanserviceExtra, and Dredd's entire RoguesGallery suddenly showing up to do a dance number.
* In an early story, shortly after Dredd returns from Luna-1 he starts a casual walk down the street where he ''gently reminds'' a group of armed robbers that their actions are illegal and tells another man that he can't do anything about the bar brawl but that the Justice Department will help all while smiling pleasantly. [[spoiler: Then he gets given his reinstatement papers and within five minutes turns into the grumpy, aggressive Dredd we know and love.]]
* In the 2015 sci-fi summer special story "Let's Get To Work", Dredd is inspecting the permits for a movie that's being shot. Turns out that it's the first film in over thirty years not to be a remake or a sequel. [[spoiler: And after dealing with the story's villain when Dredd asks what the movie is about, turns out the plot was RippedFromTheHeadlines from one of his old cases from decades ago.]]
* "Sleeping Duty" features a trio of perps who break into what they think to be an evidence lockup, but what turns out to be a waystation where Dredd is making use of a sleep machine. With only a few minutes before he wakes, they discuss what to do. [[TheDreaded His reputation]] as a MemeticBadass and being MadeOfIron are lampshaded as they know that killing him or running won't work. Their solution? [[TakeAThirdOption Tie themselves up to save him the trouble.]]
* ''Singing and dancing zombies'' in ''Judgment Day''.
-->'''Judge Dredd:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe For Grud's sake!]]
* From a ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' crossover, when Scarecrow uses his toxin on Judge Death, the latter's [[SickeninglySweet worst fear]] is [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/DataZak/blog/jog4.jpg this]].
** During the Batman Vs Judge Dredd Crossover, the two duke it out one on one, in a playground. Complete with Batman being hit in the crotch by a seesaw and Dredd being hit on the head by a swingset.
* [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnjenqradH1qi8laso1_1280.jpg What if Judges Did Ads]]?
* [[CreatorCameo John Wagner]] as the villain of "Old Pals' Act". Dredd comes to arrest him while he's in the bath. Wagner's bathtub is fitted with ''rockets'', allowing him to flee without getting out of the bath.
* Outside of canon, some artists are known to do the occasional joke panel. [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/a9/0c/dd/a90cddb8d5423cc74c853eccb2e012fa.jpg Dark Judges getting hammered]]?
* In Chapter 21 of the Cursed Earth epic, Spikes is trying to teach Tweak math. When Spikes shows Tweak 1+1=2, Tweak simply says “yes, keep up the good work Spikes”. Spikes is hilariously flustered and tells Tweak to try, Tweak ends up going the EEqualsMCHammer route for solving the same math problem.
* The "Emerald Isle" story, where Ireland has been turned into TheThemeParkVersion of, well, [[{{Oireland}} Ireland]]: Green everywhere, genial local saying "Top o' the morning" and potatoes for everyone (and nothing ''but'' potatoes). Understandably, the locals are trying to bring an end to it.
** The final shootout is in a potato factory, where we learn [[spoiler:the last potato died in 2052. They've been importing rice and molding it into a potato shape]] ever since. Even the villain thinks it's funny.
** It's also hilarious in a meta sense: the storyarc was written by Creator/GarthEnnis, who is, himself, Irish.
* During "The Forever Crimes", one of the perps involved knows that Dredd is after him and attempts to escape. [[BlackComedy Through]] [[TooDumbToLive a garbage]] [[NotEnoughToBury grinder]].
* In "The Samaritan", Dredd's sudden disappearance under nasty circumstances prompts the robot-judge Patsy to call Rico and, solemnly and seriously, ask him for assistance using TwinTelepathy. He's promptly informed that it doesn't work that way.
* In one story, Dredd is abducted by a demon-worshipping cult who inform him that they need to offer up a pure soul to their master as a HumanSacrifice. An incredulous Dredd points out, in his own distinct way, that he's an ''asshole''; the cultists agree, but note that in ''this'' [[CrapsackWorld city]], he's still the purest soul around!
* During the "Second Robot War" arc, one story opens with Dredd coming home after a long shift... home just happens to be an apartment he shares with ex-Judge Galen [De=Marco]! Yes, it turns out to be AllJustADream she's having, but there's just something bizarrely funny about seeing the two interacting like a romantic couple, it's like something out of a fanfic rather than an official story, not to mention the panel with Dredd ''smoking'', which almost seems even more out of character than him being in a relationship. The dream ends when a group of Judges bursts in to arrest Dredd for breaking the no-relationships rule, Dredd gunning them all down, and Galen lamenting that she only wanted to corrupt him a ''little''...
** After Galen is injured during an attack by Nero Narco's robot forces and ends up in a coma from a skull fracture, she has a second Dredd fantasy where he returns to Mega City-1 (he'd been kidnapped to stand trial for destroying East Meg by Orlock The Assassin), and bursts into her hospital room to proclaim his love for her, then carry her off to make passionate love to her "like he should have done a long time ago". In neither dream does he take his helmet off, even during the sex.

!The Film
* "Eat recycled food. It's good for the environment and okay for you."
* '''Judge Hershey:''' "JUDGE BITCH!"
* [[ChewingTheScenery LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!]]
** Just generally the entire scene where Dredd and Rico decide to settle things {{ham to ham|Combat}}.
* Fergie's impression of Dredd: "Mr. UH-EM-DE-LUW!"
* Fergie's panic when he realizes the Angel Family are going to eat him...or as Dredd said, "Your new friends? They're cannibals."
--> "Eat Dredd! He works out!"
* As Dredd is speaking to a group of cadets, he shows off the equipment that a street Judge uses in the field such as the standard-issue uniform ("Yours, when you graduate") and the Lawgiver pistol ("Yours, ''if'' you graduate"). When he gets to demonstrating the Lawbringer hovercycle, it starts, but then malfunctions.
--> "Yours...if you can ever get it to work."
* A meta example occurred when the film was adapted into a serialised strip in the ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers News Of The World]]'' with veteran ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'' artist Ron Smith drawing it. Originally, it was intended to have Dredd drawn as Creator/SylvesterStallone in order to stay faithful to the film until Stallone's agent told Smith that he'd have to pay Stallone to use his likeness. Smith's response was to draw Dredd to resemble Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger instead.
