* [[EthicalSlut Joe]] from ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'' stats rating Danny's ex-girlfriend who had just broken up with him. [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/01-move-in-day/seven/ He misconstrues Danny's distraught face completely.]]

* In [[http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0946.html this]] ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' strip. Jim as Han is desperately trying to think of a way to warm Luke up, and no matter how much the DM emphasises the warmth emanating from the Tauntaun's body, he remains obsessed with using the laser sword to set something on fire. Eventually he decides to they can camp out in the Tauntaun hide overnight ... and he can try to set things on fire again in the morning.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/19990527]]:

* In ''Webcomic/{{Greg}}'', Ted misses the point of Greg's biting sarcasm, leaving Greg [[http://gregcomic.com/2011/11/14/storyline-teds-place-part-7/ speechless in frustration]].

[[caption-width-right:297:The confusion being over the word "[[JustAMachine population]]".]]

* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': In the prologue, Goran is showing Aksel a series of three stylized figures representing the at-risk populations for the Rash. He correctly identifies young children and elders, but gets stumped by the the third and guesses "fat people". It's very obviously a pregnant woman.

* [[http://bobandgeorge.com/archives/051216c This]] BobAndGeorge strip. Focus on the [[TemporalParadox time travel]], dammit!

-->'''Elf:''' What are you keeping from me! Back-doors '''sabotage'''?\\
'''Para Ventura:''' What? '''No'''. I just don't like being '''micro-managed'''.\\
'''Elf: I can't help it! You're a very small person!'''\\
'''Para Ventura: [[LampshadeHanging That's not what that word means!]]'''

'''Ash:''' ''[thinking]'' No. You're right. I should have kicked him in the nads.

* [[TheDitz Fighter]] of ''Webcomic/8-bitTheater'' does a lot of this, mostly as a side effect of being stupid enough to warp physics. Possibly the best example is when he sees a castle floating in the sky, and declares it to be the ''invisible'' sky castle they were looking for.

-->'''Black Mage:''' Does that ''look'' like an invisible sky castle?
'''Fighter:''' Sure, maybe. I've never seen one.
'''Black Mage:''' Can you imagine why?
(long pause as Fighter attempts thought)
'''Fighter:''' Because they're quite rare?

* In [[http://www.dangerouslychloe.com/strips-dc/is_it_scary this edition]] of ''Webcomic/DangerouslyChloe'', Abby gets very upset to hear that when Chloe has sex with Teddy (Abby's older brother), she will "'love' him to death." Pandora (like Chloe, also a succubus), explains that it's just an expression: "There's very little 'love' involved."

** Miko Miyazaki immediately assumes that because her own conclusions led her to [[spoiler:kill her lord]], the eponymous band somehow made her do it. She then takes it as far as assuming everyone in the room is working against her, and she can do no wrong because she is the strongest member of the Sapphire Guard.
-->'''Roy Greenhilt:''' It's like she has that Monk ability that lets you jump as far as you want, only for her, it applies to conclusions.
** Miko is also responsible for the quote: "The term is 'smite evil', not 'bump uglies'."

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': Baron Wulfenbach orders to take Agatha to Castle Wulfenbach and send her back in case she turns out to be useless. His son indicates that "her parents might not like that". Baron replies: "They'll take her back anyway".
** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110615 Also...]]
--->'''Tarvek:''' If we threw in every minion we have, we might take out ''one'' of them.\\
'''Gil:''' That's a ''terrible plan!''\\
'''Minion:''' Thank you, sir!\\
'''Gil:''' There's another twenty of them! We don't have enough minions!\\
'''Minion:''' Er...
** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060320 Also...]] when the Baron finds out that the body he just finished regrowing ''isn't'' the girl he'd sent Dupree to capture/kill:
--->'''Dupree:''' I saw--she's dead!\\
'''Baron:''' You saw what you were supposed to see. You were tricked. She's alive.\\
'''Dupree:''' '''''Really?!'''''\\
'''Baron:''' Yes.\\
'''Dupree:''' But--are you sure?\\
'''Baron:''' Yes.\\
'''Dupree:''' Wow. She sure ''looked'' dead.

* ''Webcomic/BlurTheLines'' features a stip where Rick Rick is kicked out of a ''DungeonsAndDragons'' round because he keeps trying "bluff" has way into the pants of his fellow players; [[http://www.blur-the-lines.com/?p=216 he thinks they kicked him out just because he's gay]].

* ''Webcomic/VirtualShackles'': Upon being told of the horrific things done by a ''DungeonsAndDragons'' player, [[http://www.virtualshackles.com/141 Jack's response]] is shock - at the fact that people still play it.

* ''Webcomic/ThePerryBibleFellowship'': [[http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF071-Weeaboo.gif "Did someone just say 'Weeaboo?'"]]

* [[http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2008/3/3/how-to-explain-something-to-someone-who-doesnt-get-it.html This]] ''BasicInstructions'' strip. For added fun, it seems that both of them are missing the point in different ways.
* ''BittersweetCandyBowl'', Functionally, most of the older students to Tess. Especially Jessica and Rachel, since the lot of them bullying her is a bit hypocritical at best.
* ''BlurTheLines'' features a stip where Rick Rick is kicked out of a ''DungeonsAndDragons'' round because he keeps trying "bluff" has way into the pants of his fellow players; [[http://www.blur-the-lines.com/?p=216 he thinks they kicked him out just because he's gay]].
* ''BoyMeetsBoy'': Mikhael decides to use humour to lighten the situation when coming out to his new poker group, by putting down his cards and saying "Y'know, it's funny that I got a straight, because I'm not." Long awkward silence ensues, and Mik figures they're squicked and leaves. We cut back to the group, still sitting in amazement:

* In ''DorkTower'' we have [[http://www.dorktower.com/2006/06/09/comics-archive-793/ missing the point entirely.]]
* [[EthicalSlut Joe]] from DumbingOfAge stats rating Danny's ex-girlfriend who had just broken up with him. [[http://www.dumbingofage.com/2010/comic/book-1/01-move-in-day/seven/ He misconstrues Danny's distraught face completely.]]

* In ''NipAndTuck'', when Nip misses the point, he [[http://www.rhjunior.com/NT/00063.html seriously misses the point.]]

* ''ThePerryBibleFellowship'': [[http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF071-Weeaboo.gif "Did someone just say 'Weeaboo?'"]]

* ''SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' does this about ONCE EVERY FOUR STRIPS.

* The "Cuckolded Husband" storyline in ''SexyLosers'' sees a man repeatedly walk in on his wife having sex with his best friend. He immediately believes their implausible excuse and innocently runs with it until they regret saying anything.
* In ''{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=4121 Baby Blue hauls Crimney off the coach, threatens him, declares she is only sparing him because of Fuschia, and threatens destruction if he hurts her]]. Squidley's reaction: he shouldn't jump off [[SkySurfing a moving vehicle.]]

* ''SomethingPositive'': Bian at her new job.

* ''SuicideForHire'': [[http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20051102.html Mitch confronts Autumn]].
* ''UnwindersTallComics'': Director Nathan Blaine makes a sequel to ''Film/CitizenKane'', named ''[[http://tallcomics.com/?id=56 K2: The Death of Kane]]''. There's enough references to the original film's plot and dialogue to prove that Blaine's a big fan of the original ''Kane''... yet somehow he still manages to turn his sequel into a generic action movie with a lot of explosions.

* In ''VoodooWalrus'' Grymm is pretty bad about this. But it could just be him being difficult on purpose.

* In [[http://www.dangerouslychloe.com/strips-dc/is_it_scary this edition]] of ''Webcomic//DangerouslyChloe'', Abby gets very upset to hear that when Chloe has sex with Teddy (Abby's older brother), she will "'love' him to death." Pandora (like Chloe, also a succubus), explains that it's just an expression: "There's very little 'love' involved."
