* LetsPlay/{{Pwnage}}: ** In ''VideoGame/{{Vanish}}'', the monster lets out a disturbing noise, Kyle states it was a nasty fart.

* Website/FourChan's [[TabletopGames Traditional Games]] board had a thread whose original post was [[DistressedDamsel a hot naked woman chained to a rock with a dragon approaching]], with no text. The following posts were all about what type of rock it was, whether they could determine the area from the flowers nearby, whether the dragon could fly with its displayed wingspan, and so on, while largely ignoring the naked woman.

* ''Website/TLFTravelAlerts'': The official travel advice for dealing with the Covid Coronavirus outbreak of 2020; wash your hands, try not to touch other people, respect personal space, means that the virus is a great thing for [[https://twitter.com/TlfTravelAlerts/status/1236252204731940864 commuters]] as means ideal commuting behaviour.

* The xkcd Blog/WhatIf section is fueled by this stuff. After quickly answering how little every person on earth jumping at the same location at the same time would do to the earth's orbit (zilch), it explains how much carnage would result from people trying to get away from said location.

-->'''Kyle:''' C'mon, get 'em! He's the one that broke the couch!
-->'''James:''' Well technically, it was a futon...

-->'''WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob:''' This is so messed up!
-->'''Oancitizen:''' Yeah. They're clearly quoting ''Theatre/AsYouLikeIt'' in this ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'' adaptation.
* How does ''{{WebVideo/Hadriex}}'' react when told he should shave? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2zoHvAhv3A "You're right, my hand is getting awfully hairy!"]]

--> ''Piccolo, BrainwashedAndCrazy, is about to attack Goku. Not realizing, Gohan runs up to him.''

--> '''Gohan:''' ''But Daddy isn't drinking!''

-->'''Korin''': That's Mr. Popo. He lives up on the lookout with Kami.
-->'''Roshi''': ...did that cat just talk?

-->'''Jeice''': BURTER! SUPPORT!\\

-->'''Piccolo''': Okay, I think I got this one: [[{{Bishounen}} pretty one]], [[DumbMuscle stupid one]], [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway one with weird powers]].\\

--> "You raising children is just a waking nightmare. Who needs a child-leash when you can put 'em in a regular old gimp mask and dog collar?"
--> "Hey, it's really hard to find a gimp mask that small."

* WebAnimation/HomestarRunner: Happens in Strong Bad Email #124, [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail124.html Secret Recipes]]:
-->'''[[TheDitz Homestar]]:''' (to Marzipan) Hey, girlfriend, have you tried any of this free ice cream Strong Bad made?
-->'''Marzipan:''' Homestar, didn't anyone tell you? That's, like, cottage cheese and The Cheat hair.
-->'''Homestar:''' [[IAteWhat WHAT?!]] (does a SpitTake) Strong Bad told me it was ''sour cream'' and The Cheat hair!
* In ''Podcast/HowDidThisGetMade'', host Paul Scheer somehow missed the fact that ''Film/TheApple,'' a film about a man and a woman being tempted by a character clearly supposed to be {{Satan}} offering them a giant apple, was supposed to be a metaphor for the Garden of Eden story. June Diane Rapheal, normally the group's CloudCuckooLander, had to point this out to him.

--> As I was putting on my bicycle clips and getting ready to leave later in the day, I was heartened to see that my overnight work on the carpet in my room had been discovered, as all of the staff had come to show their appreciation by throwing a generous amount of fruit my way, obviously trying to make up for the mistake they'd made at breakfast.

-->I'm [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 STARBUCK!]], goddammit!\\

-->'''Shephard''': HOLY FREAKING CRAP! IS THAT AN ALIEN?!

-->'''Twilight:''' You know what? You all stay here, and I'm gonna go talk to [Zecora].\\

-->'''[[http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/9434393/#9434575 9434575]]''': Her vagina is leaking. I think she might have a medical condition.
** There's also a [[http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/16934717/ recurring]] [[http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/17962929/ series]] of threads where someone post an image of someone famous, usually challenging /tg/ to figure out who they are, and they proceed to make dozens of incorrect guesses, often while berating others for getting it wrong. Often enough, the person's real name is actually ''in the file name'' in the first post.

* In WebVideo/ResidentEvilAbridged, when Chris confronts Wesker about his betrayal, he asks why Wesker simply didn't leave them behind to be eaten by the [[RaisingTheSteaks Cerberi]]. This tense conversation ends up completely derailed as the two spend almost a minute trying to figure out what the plural word for "Cerberus" is before settling on "Zombie Dogs."

* In episode two of Shephard's Mind, Shephard comes across an alien corpse with a knife implanted in it:

* In ''LlamasWithHats'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJixW2u4IvQ episode 4]], Carl gives Paul a surprise birthday party featuring a deadly nuclear explosion and a large collection of skinned human faces. On reflection, he concedes: "This was clearly the wrong way to go. I expected them to be cooked more. Raw face is just gross."

* NotAlwaysRight and its sister sites catalogue a lot of this. In [[http://notalwaysworking.com/doesnt-quite-get-how-jail-works/39782 this]] Not Always Working post, a guy insists his friend be let out of jail because he's being "held against his will."

* [[http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/02/18/film-independent-spirit-awards-joel-mchale-video/ This]] web-promo for the 2011 Independent Spirit Awards has [[Series/{{Community}} Joel]] [[TheSoup McHale]] (the host for that year's ceremony) be forced to sit down and watch all the pictures nominated for Best Feature... and completely fail to respond in the intended or appropriate way to ''any'' of them.

* After seeing {{Phelous}} hanging himself from the horror of ''Caligula'', WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob is shocked that the camera turned itself off!

-->'''Oancitizen:''' Yeah. They're clearly quoting ''AsYouLikeIt'' in this ''RomeoAndJuliet'' adaptation.

* The ''LoadingReadyRun'' video [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/325/Son-of-a-Bitch Son of a Bitch]] features this.

--->'''Ernest''': ''(reading aloud Eddy's character card)''... Virgil, the Foul-Smelling Orang-Utan ! Come on, Poe... Virgil ? That's a terrible name !

* TheOnion uses this trope in probably over half their work, especially their [[http://www.youtube.com/show/intheknow "In The Know"]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/show/todaynow "Today Now!"]] segments.

* In ''FreemansMind'', Gordon dismisses the idea that the [=HECU=] marines were sent to cover up the disaster by killing everyone inside (Mostly because of FridgeLogic: Black Mesa is a huge facility that employs a lot of people, so what they're doing would be a RevealingCoverUp). Many of his encounters with them involve him yelling over his gunfire that he's on ''their'' side and to ''stop trying to kill him''.

'''Key:''' Okay, um... read rules. Important.\\
