* Ended up being averted in one story of ''ComicStrip/NittioettanKarlsson''. [[DrillSergeantNasty Furir Rickard Revär]] ''intends'' to put his men through one of these meant to break them by forcing them to listen to a lecture from one of the most infamous bores around. However, said bore ends up being late, and with the soldiers already getting angry and irritated, being the coward he is, the bore decides to put himself on the soldiers' good side by allowing them to watch ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay'' instead. Suffice to say, [[HairTriggerTemper Revär]] is not happy when he finds out.

* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}} [[Recap/AsterixInSwitzerland in Switzerland]]'' features an assembly of chieftains who take turns making long-winded speeches while the others sleep peacefully. Our heroes try to hide from pursuing Roman soldiers by pretending to be asleep as well.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'', Fone Bone's favorite book is ''Moby Dick''. Any time he tries to read one of his favorite passages from it, [[RunningGag his audience immediately falls asleep]] (unless it's the rat creatures, who find his reading voice [[BrownNote debilitatingly painful]]). At one point, they even ''weaponize'' it by having Fone Bone read out a passage in order to knock out an attacker.
* One ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' one-shot starring [[GreatGazoo Mister Mxyzptlk]] has him taking down an enemy from an even ''[[AlwaysABiggerFish tougher]]'' dimension by baiting them into a copy of ''[[ComicBook/TheSandman The Zzzandman]]'', where a parody of Morpheus quickly puts them to sleep with a long, boring fairy-tale.
