* Averted in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', which portrays politics simply as background to the Nations themselves. Though the closest moments reaching this trope happens to be a strip that laments Japan's loss of his more traditional culture as well as scenes set around the 2008 financial crisis.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' was initially little more than an adult animated sitcom with lots of VulgarHumor and a dash of SurrealHumor. Nowadays, it is one of the leading voices of political satire. The writers' stance on climate change is a noteworthy example. For the first 10 seasons environmentalism was mocked outright, with some episodes even going as far as calling climate change a hoax that the Democrats use so they can roleplay as the good guys[[note]]Although the "Spontaneous Combustion" episode acknowledged that methane emissions do in fact cause rising temperatures[[/note]]. The topic wasn't acknowledged again for the next decade, until season 22 outright admitted that climate change actually is a serious issue and that everyone is partially responsible (though the show still managed to get some biting humour in regardless).

* ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' went fully political during in the run-up to the 2008 United States presidential election, which a good number of fans saw as being to its detriment. It would then largely return back to its usual gag-a-day BlackComedy operations for the next three years, before making a ''hard'' pivot into storylines about gender politics, societal misogyny and radical feminism, with the current comic effectively being a completely different entity (much to the distaste of long-time fans). Then in 2019 it lost another chunk of its fanbase when it depicted overtly transphobic views.
