* [[Franchise/GreenLantern Larfleeze's]] many, many insane rants.
** Heck, it doesn't need to be a rant, as proven [[spoiler:when all the dead bodies of those he has killed to create his orange construct-esque Lanterns are resurrected and surround him]].
-->'''Larfleeze''': ''Yuh-oh.''
** Really, there were a lot of gems in the "Agent Orange" arc where Larfleeze made his debut that qualify, even if he wasn't at center stage. Some memorable ones include Hal Jordan temporarily falling under the [[TheCorruption evil influence]] of the Orange Power Battery:
-->'''Orange Power Battery''': ''You could really go for a hamburger right now, couldn't you? Two hamburgers!''
** Larfleeze to rival Orange Lantern ComicBook/LexLuthor: The ring is mine! And if you ever get hair, that's mine too!
** [[http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/2374167.html?#cutid1 Larfleeze in Vegas.]] His first encounter with a complimentary buffet:
-->'''Larfleeze''': All-you-can-eat.... '''''[[{{Squee}} I HAVE ARRIVED!!!]]'''''
** Also, Hal trying to properly utilize the Blue Lantern Ring, which only works if you find something to genuinely hope for:
-->'''Hal Jordan''' (falling out of the sky): ''World peace. I hope for world peace!''
-->'''Blue Lantern Ring''': ''Insincerity registered.''
-->'''Hal Jordan''': ''Dammit!'' *continues to fall*
** Double when the ring finally registers a sincere hope. [[spoiler: The hope that eventually, the ring will shut up and quit asking what he hopes for.]]
-->'''Blue Power Ring''': [[AC: Sincerity Registered.]]
-->'''Hal''': Oh you've got to be ''kidding me''.
** [[http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/12/22/celebrate-an-orange-christmas-with-larfleeze/#comments ORANGE LANTERN COOKIES.]]
*** The cover, with Glomulus wearing novelty reindeer antlers and rocking out on electric guitar!
*** It's even funnier that the cookies are surprisingly tasty (if you like oranges).
* ComicBook/GreenArrow[=/=]ComicBook/BlackCanary #15, from Page 13: [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v709/Cassius335/GABC-15-13.jpg If You Know What I Mean?]]
** Also in issue #7, when Ollie thinks he has been followed by aliens and calls in Green Lantern to help. Hal promptly discovers that the bad guys are actually humans wearing masks. When Ollie protests that it was easy for Hal to find this out, because of his power ring, Hal replies that he spotted the zippers around their necks. And though Ollie pleads with him not to tell anyone, Hal has already sent a video to the JSA, the JLA and Batman...
* From ''ComicBook/SupergirlCosmicAdventuresInThe8thGrade'':
** [[AbusiveParents "Mother, Father, would you please be so kind as to pass the salt?"]]
** That whole series is a goldmine for these.
--->'''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}''': Ah...hey, guys. So, uh...what's going on?\\
'''Belinda''': I was trying to give a big, villainous speech, but apparently you're too busy being ''[[MyFutureSelfAndMe two people]]'' and having a [[CoolHorse horse]] to let me do that.
* [[ComicBook/SuperYoungTeam Most Excellent Superbat]] (an in-universe Japanese Batman takeoff) in ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'' #6:
-->'''Superbat''': ''I have the greatest power of all, Mister Miracle. [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney I am so rich I can do anything.]]''
** How rich is he? [[spoiler: He bought ''Japan''.]]
* Superman playing Santa Claus is nothing new. But [[http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/1317677.html#cutid1 Batman getting involved]] is something special. Also, "I suppose I should do something about that whole Middle East thing..."
* The way ComicBook/BlackAdam discovers what his new magic word is, in one of the funniest (and greatest) things Peter J. Tomasi has ever written, in issue #6 of the ''Black Adam'' miniseries.
-->'''Teth-Adam''': ''[in a diner]'' Hrm. Please prepare me one of these, "chocolate egg creams". '''''[KRAK-OOM]'''''
* In the DCU Holiday Bash II, there's an entire two page spread of Santa trying to give {{ComicBook/Darkseid}} a lump of coal...and he succeeds. And apparently does so ''every year''.
** DCU Santa has also, [[UnreliableNarrator at least according to]] ComicBook/PlasticMan, once defeated the demon lord Neron [[ItMakesSenseInContext by giving him Christmas presents he didn't want]].
** The best part of Santa giving Darkseid coal is that he has to double-check to see if Darkseid is on the "naughty" list or not.
*** Hey, he checks his list, and checks it twice. Santa is thorough when it comes to due diligence.
* Franchise/GreenLantern is the best superhero in Franchise/TheDCU at overcoming fear. So of course, his counterpart on the BizarroWorld is a member of the fear-based Sinestro Corps. He often checks his [[GreenLanternRing power ring]] to make sure it's still working, only to end up blasting himself in the face.
* In the 2008-2009 series ''Trinity'', the good guys and bad guys are forced to make teams with gimmicks based on the Major Arcana. (ComicBook/PlasticMan is The Fool, ComicBook/LexLuthor is The Hierophant, Geo-Force is The World, etc...) Gangbuster, a BadassNormal, is The Series/WheelOfFortune. When he realizes he is outmatched against an army of demons...
-->'''Gangbuster:''': "Hey Pat, I'd like to buy a vowel and solve the puzzle. G-E-T M-E O-U-T O-F H-E-R-E!"
* ComicBook/MartianManhunter #24 from start to finish. Booster Gold and Blue Beetle hide all the [[BlandNameProduct Choco]] cookies in JLI headquarters, as well as the surrounding area. [[HulkingOut Mayhem]] [[HilarityEnsues ensues]].
-->'''J'onn''': [[MarsNeedsWomen Mars Needs Chocos!]]
** After he cools down and is convinced he has a problem, J'onn exorcizes a physical manifestation of his addiction from himself. The craving-creature latches on to various other league members, revealing a sample of their cravings. In particular, Ice laments not being able to indulge in a sautéed baby seal since leaving her homeland.
** On J'onn's page on Wiki/TheOtherWiki, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle are ''actually listed'' in his RoguesGallery section, along with the sentence "They stole J'onn's cookies". Go look.
* [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v205/fuyukun/Pippins-Pic.jpg Lex Luthor commenting]] on the FoeYay between Franchise/{{Batman}} and the Joker.
* A few from [[ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} Supergirl: Identity]]:
** When Supergirl lampshades Pariah's SesquipedalianLoquaciousness.
-->'''Pariah''': "I am the Herald of Darkness. I am the witness to Apocalypse. I walk where the dragon's tail meets its mouth, bathed in blood... Call me Pariah."
-->'''Supergirl''': "I'm sorry, but... Who the hell are you?"
-->'''Pariah''': "I am the space between Scylla and Charybdis. I am the gasp before the Big Bang. I--"
-->'''Supergirl''': "Shut up and make sense!"
-->'''Pariah''': "I--All right."
-->'''Supergirl''': "Now again, ''slowly'', and without the ''Literature/LordOfTheRings'' double talk."
-->'''Pariah''': "My name is Kent Massa. I was a scientist once... Until I dared look into the eyes of God and--"
-->'''Supergirl''': (clenching her fist) "I will hurt you."
-->'''Pariah''': "I... Fine."
** When Grace Choi earns a free punch to the Maid of Might's face, only to break her hand.
** When Supergirl and ComicBook/WonderGirl hug, with [[LesYay Kara's arms around Cassie's neck and Cassie's arms around Kara's waist]]. Just as it starts getting good, Ravager (Rose Wilson) [[MomentKiller shoots them with a rocket launcher as a prank]].
-->'''Wondergirl''': "Thanks. I love you, Kara."
-->'''Supergirl''': "I love you too." '''BOOM'''
** When Supergirl returns to her apartment, Captain Boomerang Jr. asks how her day was.
-->'''Supergirl''': I met a girl tonight (Terra II).
-->'''Boomer''': (''DoubleTake, then grin'') Explain. And do ''not'' leave out ''any'' [[GirlOnGirlIsHot details]].
-->'''Supergirl''': (''hits him with a pillow'') Idiot. Another hero in a costume.
* The story "[[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica JLA]]: World Without Grownups": Superboy, Impulse, and [[Comicbook/RobinSeries Robin]] are put into simulations that mimic their deepest fears. Superboy faces off with Metallo, Impulse faces [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Nazi dinosaurs]] and Gorilla Grodd, and Robin is faced with a combination of [[Film/SilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]] and ComicBook/TheJoker. Robin figures out that they need to switch off since the simulations are geared to defeat each of them. Thus, Superboy beats Grodd while Robin beats Metallo. Robin then [[OhCrap belatedly realizes that he left Impulse with the Hannibal-Joker]]...only to find that Impulse managed to drive the Hannibal-Joker crazy by asking him [[BrokenRecord "Why?" over and over again]]!
* You bet you'd never see the day when Pokemon appear in comic books other than manga. Well, here [[http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss175/galateus/comics/co/1250056393248.jpg it is!]]
--> ''"Yes, perhaps this is a warrior's game..."''
* In Batman (issue 621) the [[FauxSymbolism conversation about steak]]:
-->'''Commissioner:''' What are you doing?
-->'''Batman:''' Grilling.
-->'''Commissioner:''' Who?
-->'''Batman:''' A steak.
-->'''Commissioner:''' You COOK?
-->'''Batman:''' No, I GRILL. It helps me RELAX.
-->'''Commissioner:''' Grilling a steak to RELAX? But a prime piece of meat has to be just right, not UNDER -- or God forbid -- OVERDONE. It is. And there's no sauce known to mankind -- or the French -- that can hide the fact the chef's to blame. That makes a steak the most STRESSFUL thing to cook, you know?\\
(Later in the same scene)
-->'''Batman's Monologue:''' It was WRONG to cut Allen off, but my GRILL was FLARING. And like he said, a steak is RUINED, if not done just right. I liked mine pink on the inside, not red or grey. I was after the perfect SIZZLE. But I MISJUDGED. It was RED. RAW. MY tastes didn't run that way... But I wasn't the ONLY man in town with an APPETITE.
* ''ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder'': If not the whole series, then most of it. Now whether it's intentional or not, that's up for debate.
* When Thara Ak-Var gets stabbed by a kryptonite knife, Chris Kent brings her to Lois Lane so she can pull the fragments out and treat the wound. When Thara recovers, Lois grills her on what exactly is her relationship with her son. Seeing a pyrokinetic Kryptonian scared of her boyfriend's human mother is hilarious. Later, Thara tries to jump Chris only for Lois to be right there and be all "No way, not gonna happen".
* The otherwise completely unfunny first issue of the ''Venom'' storyline has this: Batman, blaming himself for the death of a kidnapping victim, continues attempting to fight crime after injuring his shoulder and going three days without sleep. This leads to him be battered by a pair of ordinary thugs. He wakes up in bed to hear Alfred deliver this line:
-->'''Alfred''': I told the physician who reassembled you that you fell from a hot air balloon onto a picnic table full of cheese blintzes. *beat* The story was too ludicrous to be disbelieved.
* There's a story where the Guardians of Oa visit the Zamorans, with Sodam Yat, Arisia, and Guy Gardner as backup. When they are hit by a bright violet flash: The Guardians continue being stoic, Arisia and Sodam cover their eyes in pain, and Guy whips up CoolShades and puts them on with a smug look on his face.
* From ''ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica'', [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Gd8NBIma-zo/TDE5LPZ_zII/AAAAAAAANuo/poSxacWOEl4/s1600/jsa+-+curedofthegay.jpg Obsidian's fake out]] and everyone's expression. Seems to also be something of a TakeThat to people who thought the author (Bill Willingham) would pull something like that in his run.
* From ''ComicBook/FiftyTwo'', Renee Montoya and the Question are investigating a warehouse together. They saw someone enter who appears to have vanished. Montoya says there must be a secret door, the Question's immediate response? 'What is this, D&D?' After finding the switch by accident the two of them fall through the floor and end up with Renee on top of the Question while he delivers the immortal line:
-->'''The Question:''' [[WizardNeedsFoodBadly Elf needs food badly.]]
* There was one spinoff novel, the plot of which was Batman, Green Arrow, and Aquaman teaming up together with ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}, Arsenal, and Tempest to stop Deathstroke from carrying out an assassination. When they finally catch him, he incredulously asks if it really took that much firepower to stop him. The response?
-->'''Batman''': Not really, but it was a nice excuse to spend some time with the kids.
* Kevin Smith's ComicBook/TheWideningGyre may be... controversial, but it is also... well, it's written by Kevin Smith, the man whom seemingly never met a gag he didn't like. If it had been received better it might have an actual page.
** The Calendar King's TrunkShot:
-->'''Calendar King''': I'm proud to report I've puked in your trunk.
** Joker's banter as he's waving around a shot gun in the canals:
-->'''Joker''': I am Jesus! I am Moses! I am Lucifer, the Fallen! I am Elijah! I am the beatified bones of Dancin' Don Rickles, and I'm gonna eat yer babies!
** Various characters' reactions to finding out Batman has a girlfriend now.
* ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis'' has Kyle Rayner being used as a club by Heel-Turned Mary Marvel to beat up Donna Troy.
** [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Tj4NmoRZYpg/SCnfCHlIg3I/AAAAAAAABRU/M6KCimhp9Ng/s400/panelE.jpg WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP WHAP.]]
* In an issue of [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batman: Gotham Knights]], Batman is facing off with Hugo Strange on the rooftop of the Wayne Enterprises building. Tim asks Dick what they're going to do. Dick says it's Batman versus Dr. Strange: [[PassThePopcorn he's getting popcorn]].
* In ''Detective Comics'' #609, during his fight with Anarky, Batman is beset by some hobos that are on Anarky's side. One of them - a legless cripple - tries to take on Batman. [[http://i53.tinypic.com/2is7eic.jpg Bats' exasperated face]] in the last panel, in an otherwise serious comic, is priceless.
* In one issue of ''ComicBook/{{Robin|Series}}'', a group of heroes led by The Veteran (the invincible personification of Patriotism) is fighting their way across Bludhaven, which is filled with C- and D-list villains recently escaped from a prison, to get to Robin. One such villain, who appears to be made of straw, leaps out of the shadows and declares...
-->'''Wicker Man''': Behold! I am the Wicker Man! Beware my power!\\
'''The Veteran''': Oh for the love of... ''[pulls out a lighter and flicks it on]'' Behold! I have a '''working lighter'''!\\
'''Wicker Man''': ...I surrender.
* From the ''ComicBook/DCOneMillion'' crossover event:
** The opening narration of ''Chronos'' #1,000,000 describes the crimes future Flash has stopped while patrolling Metropolis.
-->"After stopping a runaway Silverale transport from veering into pedestrian traffic, he delivered twins to a pregnant mother caught in the chaos of a Bizarro Pride parade. At the Bismollan Embassy, he prevented an assassination attempt by a Durlan extremist disguised as tiramisu."
** [[ComicBook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}} Justice Legion L's]] issue has them pursuing Agent If, a RealityWarper terrorist whose power works by saying sentences that start with "if." He uses his power to enter the United Planets' artificial sun in order to destroy it, Titangirl, who's just a psychic projection, confronts him:
-->'''Agent If:''' Titangirl! How can you be here? All right...all right...you're dead! No! If you're dead...then...something. Anything. '''WHY AREN'T YOU DEAD?!'''
-->'''Titangirl:''' Perhaps you broke your toy?
-->'''Agent If:''' No...I know the answer! You're not really here! You're projecting thoughts from somewhere outside the Realitoy's range! And that means you can't stop me, either! All I have to remember is that you're just an idea in my head! You couldn't be here [[TooDumbToLive if I didn't exist, or--]][[OhCrap or...]][[BigNo NO!]] [[PuffOfLogic IF I EXI--*]]
-->'''Implicate Girl:''' What's the latest on our terrorist?
-->'''Titangirl:''' [[{{Pun}} He talked himself out of it.]]
* ''ComicBook/EmperorJoker'': {{ComicBook/Darkseid}}, realizing the severity of the situation, tries to form an alliance with The Quintessence ([[Franchise/WonderWoman Zeus]], [[ComicBook/NewGods Highfather]], [[Franchise/GreenLantern Ganthet]], ComicBook/ThePhantomStranger, and ComicBook/{{Shazam}}), only to find that ComicBook/TheJoker has turned them into babbling idiots.
-->'''Darkseid''': ...Well, what say you all?
-->'''SHAZAM''': [[spoiler:Wassup, D?]]
-->'''Highfather''': [[spoiler:Wasssaap!]]
-->'''Phantom Stranger''': [[spoiler:[[AC:WHATZZZUP!]]]]
-->'''Zeus''': [[spoiler:Yo, where's Desaad?]]
-->'''Ganthet''': [[spoiler:Wazzzup!]]
-->'''Darkseid''': (''deadpan'') I am too late.
* Lex Luthor once managed to easily capture Superboy by making a kryptonite cage labelled [[ShmuckBait "Luthor Trap to capture Superboy"]]. Superboy walked right into it. Even the ''narrator'' gave up at that point, noting that it went far beyond curiosity into sheer stupidity on Superboy's part.[[labelnote:issue]]Action Comics #259[[/labelnote]]
* Stephanie Brown AKA ComicBook/{{Batgirl| 2009}} has a PrecociousCrush on her developing contact for the police, Detective Nicholas Gage, who avoided any action on her feelings. It leads to ...
-->'''Batgirl''': (''As she swings by Gage and Gordon, giving Gage a smile and a small wave'') "Hey, you!"
-->'''Detective Nick Gage''': (''Off Commissioner Gordon's look'') "What?"
-->'''Commissioner Gordon''': "'Hey, you'?"
-->'''Gage''': "No one raises an eyebrow when you talk to Batman."
-->'''Gordon''': "I'm pretty sure Batman's ''legal'', detective!"
* ''Batman/Spider-Man'', after Batman corrects Spidey's reference to ''Film/TheRoadToMorocco'':
-->'''Spider-Man:''' A-ha! I knew we had something in common besides our love of tights! You're into old movies too, huh?
-->'''Batman:''' I ''was'' - when I was young.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' Young? Somehow, I can't picture you ''ever'' being young! You must've been pretty cute, waddling around in your diapers, chasing the Joker across the playground!
-->'''Batman:''' I was '''''never "cute".'''''
