--->'''Strange:''' How are--you--doing this?\\

* ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'': Dr. [[Characters/MonsterVerseEmmaRussell Emma Russell]] quotes the StockPhrase almost ''ad verbatim'' when Mancini informs her that the Mothra-holding Yunnan outpost's containment systems are failing and their perimeter alarms are going haywire. [[spoiler:{{Subverted}}, as she actually ''knows'' Jonah and his posse are coming, [[EvilAllAlong and she's just asking before they launch their physical attack for show]]]].

* ComicBook/AtomicRobo occasionally has to ask himself: "Why do we even ''have'' the SquareCubeLaw?"
* ''ComicBook/KingdomCome''. Batman's StealthHiBye is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the epilogue, when Clark bemusedly asks how in the world did he sneak up on ''him'', since he has XRayVision and super hearing. Bruce just states that it was easy thanks to the [[RussianReversal the scenery]] [[ChewingTheScenery chewing everyone]], and that the JLA could be fighting the Legion of Doom in the restaurant and the patrons would assume it's AllPartOfTheShow.
* The first issue of the ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'' reboot had Archie working at an ice cream place and the manager asking "How? '''How?'''" when the former somehow managed to set the ice cream on fire.

** Previously done in the WesternAnimation/BugsBunny cartoon "WesternAnimation/HighDivingHare", where Bugs is trussed up on a diving board platform and Yosemite Sam is sawing off the board, but the ladder and platform collapse with Sam instead.* 1938's "WesternAnimation/PorkyAndDaffy" has Daffy as a prize fighter and Porky his manager. When Porky tells Daffy to get on his bicycle (a ring term for avoiding the opponent as best as can), Daffy does. He starts riding an invisible bicycle, to which he quips "I'm so crazy I don't know that this is impossible!"
