As the footnote points out, MOUI is considerably more involved than the single bad decision of [[DrunkDriver DUI]]: it involves first defeating a number of safety systems that the average person would have trouble bypassing while ''sober'', then switching the vehicle over to three"]] manual mode (which may require [[AutomatedAutomobiles installing a manual mode]]). Only then is it possible to his list of crimes.commit MOUI.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': ''[[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/15p7/ King Radical is subverting our country's rich history for his own devious purposes!]]''
* Type 3 from ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'': Sweetheart's idea of a "rampage" is [[PokeThePoodle spilling coffee next to a "no littering" sign]]. The Chimeric Anti-Defamation League hears about it and tries to revoke her membership. You know things are bad when ''Unity'' is the voice of sanity--her reaction is, "Who called you, and how could they tell it was a rampage?"
* In a ''Webcomic/UserFriendly'' arc, Erwin the computer dreams of being {{Mercy Kill}}ed for having an incurable case of Windows NT and then being brought before the JudgementOfTheDead. When his personal ListOfTransgressions is examined, installing NT turns out to have been the greatest sin on the list, ranking above nearly starting a border war in Africa.
* In an ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'' arc, the evil spirit of a mirror steals Nina's body to unleash her evil on the world. However, seeing as it's ''[[GenkiGirl Nina]]'' she's in, all she can manage are lame practical jokes. [[spoiler:And one accidental murder, but that was {{retcon}}ned.]]
* ''Edmund Finney's Quest'' quadruply does not subvert this [[http://eqcomics.com/2011/09/02/an-arrest/ here]]. (The "fake bomb threat" was part of a [[Creator/MontyPython Four Yorkshiremen]] argument and was neither a fake bomb threat nor a real one.)
* Downplayed example in ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Elliot and Tedd broke into a government facility and through ''shenanigans'', created an opposite-sex clone of Elliot. Elliot's dad is furious... that he lied about having a sleepover with Tedd. The actual felony doesn't register with him at all.
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' - [[AGodAmI Petey]] warns a Toddfraug captain who was going to wipe out a planetary population with [[DeathFromAbove kinetic warhead bombardment]] to [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2006-04-08 not add "rounding 'Pi' down to three"]] to his list of crimes.
* ''{{Webcomic/Freefall}}'':
** [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff2000/fc01924.htm "A robot named Qwerty. wrote the first. of his epic. rap yodeling. operas. It was then. I knew conflict between [robots and humans]. was inevitable."]] He didn't force anyone to listen to it. Just writing it was enough to justify genocide.
** Later, some of the robots in charge of the distribution center for produce decide that the practice of [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff3100/fc03097.htm discarding slightly imperfect vegetables]] is wasteful, and arrange for someone to "steal" them before they're thrown away so that they can be made into healthy salads and given away for free. [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff3200/fc03169.htm When some of the robot police officers finds out...]]
--->'''Officer Green:''' DEVIL! How can you live with yourself?!\\
'''Officer Red:''' Excuse my partner. He was not expecting to see this level of malfeasance displayed openly.
* In ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'', [[ChasteHero England]] freaks out when he briefly touches [[AllWomenAreLustful Sister Denmark]], accusing himself in despair of being a rapist. She barely notices. According to WordOfGod, English people are really sensitive to touching strangers, if just a little; fearing they might offend them.
* In ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'', Gabe is reading his son the new ''[[Literature/TheBerenstainBears Berenstain Bears]]'' book, and is horrified when the father turns off the Internet except for an hour a day.
-->'''Gabe:''' Son, what Papa Bear is doing is child abuse. Brother and Sister Bear need to call the...Bear Police.
* In ''Webcomic/PerfectionEngine'', the Eidolons —angelic beings prevalent in the story— strive for a perfect society of perfect order and morality. As such, all citizens are subject to "corrective measures" should they show any flaw whatsoever, including inner or outer expressions of negativity. One is literally not allowed to experience negative emotions or thoughts towards themselves or others, lest they undergo said corrective measures if caught.
* ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'': As the Vice Principal is telling Hijack various ways he could end up taken to the principal's office (wearing normal clothes on pajama day, injuring a fellow student), she is horrified to realize that she's just giving him ideas.
-->'''Vice Principal:''' I swear to various lesser demons, if you wear normal clothes on pajama day I will hunt you down.
* ''Webcomic/TwoGuysAndGuy'' has the RunningGag of Guy [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown hospitalizing]] Wayne for misusing the word "literally".
