* Solomon David in ''WebComic/KillSixBillionDemons'' considers himself morally superior to the other [[DimensionLord Demiurges]] -- which, okay, among [[MadGod that lot]] it's kind of true -- and everyone else, really. His virtue is demonstrated (he no doubt thinks) in a scene in "King of Swords" when he comes upon a harsh taskmaster pushing workers doing hard construction labour, moving giant boulders. Solomon intervenes and lets the workers take a break while he uses his SuperStrength to do their work for them. The only problem with this magnanimity? He's the one who's running the construction project and the whole empire that pushes its workers that hard in the first place, so he's causing it way more than he's alleviating it.

Ignore the fact that she kidnapped an innocent priestess and, at the time of the speech, her boss is ritualistically sacrificing said priestess to satisfy their [[TakeOverTheWorld World-Conquering]] EvilOverlord's [[AGodAmI god complex]]. To fully cement the hypocrisy, she gives the speech to [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits some vagabonds]] that saw said kidnapping and [[OvercomeTheirDifferences decided]] [[NeutralNoLonger not to stand]] idly by.

Later, [[spoiler: Elliot]] [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1605 momentarily got angry]] upon learning of [[spoiler: Sarah]] wanting to break up before realizing the hypocrisy.

Then Green points out that Blue hasn't eaten anything today, and Blue is shown hiding under the couch in a similar way, showing that while Blue is very insistent that Green takes proper care of himself, he fails to practice proper self-care himself.
* ''Webcomic/GoblinHollow'': Gothchilde complains that people are hypocritical fakers -- while claiming to be a 300-year-old vampire.
* ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' has several examples:
** Dellyn believes that [[EnemiesEqualsGreatness how badly a person's enemies want to kill them defines them as legendary]], and he must be a legend because, in his own mind, all the goblins in the realm would like to kill him. However, he utterly refuses to accept the possibility that Thaco could be considered legendary, despite quietly admitting to himself that he "[[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou would sacrifice anything for a chance at [Thaco's] throat.]]"
** Psionic Minmax is trying to rewrite the laws of reality, because he has decided that the universe is too flawed to exist in its present state. Yet he accuses Forgath of possessing a sense of "omnipotent self-importance" when the latter complains about him murdering his friend Kin.
** "Ruby" Kin from alternate reality #80 tries to convince ''our'' Kin that she cannot trust Minmax and should come with Kin#80 and her alternate reality Kin companions instead. Kin refuses, remaining adamant that she can trust Minmax, whereupon Ruby decides to take Kin's decisions into her own hands by stealing the MementoMacGuffin of Kin and Minmax's trust and dropping it down an oblivion hole, [[RetGone erasing it from existence]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Katamari}}'' positions Ace as the Dashing Prince's [[TheRival rival]], who constantly accuses Prince of being an AttentionWhore who makes [[ItsAllAboutMe everything all about him]]. In reality, that's a better description [[PsychologicalProjection of Ace himself]], to the point that his attempt at a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech would have been better aimed ''at'' him rather than coming ''from'' him.
* PlayedForLaughs in ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxHound'' when Ocelot nonchalantly says they should let Gurlukovich kill Sniper Wolf, as they need his resources a lot more than Wolf's sharpshooting. Liquid balks at the idea, explaining how they're ''not'' going to act like their enemies who treat their own as chesspieces and, while he accepts that some of them may die in battle it's another thing entirely to kill them off just because it would be ''useful''. Raven likes what he's selling but points out the blatant DoubleStandard considering some of the things they actually are doing, and Liquid shoots it down without blinking:
--> '''Raven:''' Aren't we going to brainwash a few dozen Genome soldiers into doing our bidding? Instead of, you know, recruiting like-minded people who're willing to die for the cause?
--> '''Liquid:''' I never claimed not to be an elitist. Those wastes of humanity should be ''honored'' to be my meat shield.
* ''Webcomic/LivingWithInsanity'' had an arc where Alice had to deal with customers who were rude, overly demanding and blamed her for things she couldn't control. When David takes her to a café after work, [[http://www.livingwithinsanity.com/index/?p=362 she does this]].
* In ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', Dillon frequently complains about his past and current boyfriends cheating on him, and takes this as an excuse to criticize other characters for their own intentions to cheat. However, he also [[http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/twenty-seven boasts about seducing twenty-seven straight men]] into nights of passion that made them "forget their girlfriends". Some readers took this as a gay man's figure of speech meaning "past girlfriends and heterosexuality in general" rather than implying actual infidelity, but Dillon certainly got into a CastingCouch relationship with one married man. Anyway, later, in ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'', Dillon [[http://www.stickydillybuns.com/strips-sdb/28_is_lucky apparently confirmed that it was literally true]]. Ruby, in the latter strip, may have the plot function of being the first character who is sufficiently immune to Dillon's cuteness to call him on this hypocrisy. She's already had to remind him of his uncontrolled flirtatiousness when starting a supposedly serious relationship.
* In ''[[http://mortifer.smackjeeves.com Mortifer]]'', it's explained that demons get more powerful from certain emotions or lifestyles related to their power. While all of them become more powerful as they [[PowerBornOfMadness lose their grip on reality]], [[spoiler: Zebidiah]], as a shapeshifting demon, becomes more powerful the more hypocritical he is. [[spoiler: Which is why he works as a priest despite being a demon.]]
* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** The last words of [[spoiler:a Black Dragon who was going to subject Vaarsuvius' family to a FateWorseThanDeath is to call ''V'' [[YouMonster the monster]]. V's response? "[[AtLeastIAdmitIt We are all in the Monster Manual somewhere, are we not? My entry lies between Elemental and Ethereal Filcher.]]" In the mother Black Dragon's defense, V had just [[MoralEventHorizon committed genocide against the dragon's entire extended family line, killing hundreds of innocent dragons, not to mention UNBORN dragons.]] And, it's later revealed that they killed numerous half-dragons and their mostly-human descendants as well.]]
** Another example is Redcloak, whose entire character is based around hypocrisy. He says that paladins are unnatural abominations due to their magical lack of fear. He refers to himself as a "100% all-natural goblin" during the BreakingSpeech. He conveniently leaves out the fact that he's wearing a magical artifact that has prolonged his natural lifespan by decades. In addition, in order to get revenge on the racist treatment goblins have suffered since creation, he makes plots and plans built around genocide, something that by definition is racist. Furthermore, for all his claims to want what's best for the goblins, he is perfectly willing to work with Xykon, who is perfectly willing to let minions die by the hundreds and thousands just for a cheap laugh, to say nothing that he's willing to pursue a Plan that is more than likely going to get every goblin wiped from existence if the Snarl gets free or the gods unmake the world. Right-Eye, Durkon, and Minrah all point this out, to no avail.
** Discussed and defied when Loki, god of mischief and lies, intervenes to prevent Hel from cheating. Hel attempts to call him a hypocrite who flouts the rules and takes offense when others do so, but Loki retorts that he's not making a principled stand against cheating, he's just sabotaging a rival whose cheating works against his own interests.
--->'''Loki:''' It's hard to be a hypocrite when your guiding philosophy is, "[[ItsAllAboutMe Do whatever's best for you]]."
* In ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'', the principal of Larisa's school gives her an earful about the dangers of drugs [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/05/28/0063-zero-tolerance/ while smoking]].
%%* In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2005-01-27 using Slick as a sounding board, Monique complains about being objectified and made to feel like a -- sounding board.]]
%%* Cassie of ''Webcomic/TheWotch'' realizes this in [[http://thewotch.com/index.php?epDate=2008-12-09 here]]
* In ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'', Vriska accuses [[spoiler: Dead Vriska]] of being a narcissistic and overly stubborn jerk who [[spoiler: got killed]] because she refused to accept that she was outmatched. She conveniently ignores the fact that she herself acts that way and only avoided the same fate as [[spoiler: Dead Vriska]] because of outside intervention. Best highlighted when she declares that she's matured as a person and is nicer, than immediately starts childishly insulting [[spoiler: Dead Vriska]] like a schoolyard bully, to the point of calling her fat.
** Vriska in general is a major example. For example, she holds long grudges and takes horribly DisproportionateRetribution on those who wrong her, but when other people do the same she gets mad and accuses them of acting immature. She viciously criticizes people and claims that she's merely being [[BrutalHonesty honest]] with them, but when other people criticize her she either ignores their accusations or takes offense.
* ''Webcomic/DepressionComix'' portrays [[AnthropomorphicPersonification Society]] as this. In one strip, she offers a hand in helping to cope with mental illness, only to {{freak out}} and brand the subject she's talking to as a [[TheSociopath psychopath]], telling them to stay as far away from her as possible.
* ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'': Two examples of people espousing ideals that it immediately turns out they don't really believe in in practice: In [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2011-05-20 strip for 2011-05-20]], a woman refuses the offer to "buy happiness" because money can't buy happiness. But when she's told of "Happy Bucks", which don't technically count as money (even though they essentially are), she's eager to buy them in order to buy happiness. In [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2625 2012-05-29]], a man says he wouldn't choose to spend his life in happiness in a LotusEaterMachine because he prefers reality, but when he hears there's an actual chance to do so, he immediately wants in.
* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': Adventure II involves most of the EnsembleCast going after Onni after realizing that he's traveling on his own in PlagueZombie territory. When they finally find him, Onni asks Reynir, the only member of the group to not be TheImmune, why he came because the trip is much more dangerous for him. Reynir is quick to point out that Onni isn't immune to ThePlague either. Onni replies that the fact he's a mage makes up for it. Reynir is a mage also, and Onni knows it.
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'':
** Bam says he would never betray anyone because Rachel taught him it's wrong with great emphasis. [[spoiler: Season 1 ends with Rachel dramatically betraying Bam.]]
** Princess Yuri Jahad in "1st Floor -- Last Examination", even though she's the good guy in the situation. She accuses the royal assassin Ren of using the King Jahad's name for his own convenience, when in fact Ren is on a mission to further the king's interests[[note]]and his own, admittedly, but that has nothing to do with their dispute and Yuri doesn't know about it, aside from seeing he's having too much fun killing someone[[/note]] -- and tried to tell her so, so that she will let him go on -- whereas Yuri is appealing to her own royal authority to stop him on a whim.
* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': The CentralTheme is about memories and their unreliablity, oft put "[[CopeByPretending Live in your best world,]]" so there are a ''lot'' of characters lying to themselves and each other.
** Duane is probably the biggest hypocrite among the central cast. He believes he is an upstanding hero and warrior of God who protects the innocent and punishes the wicked, but his definitions of "innocent" and "wicked" are conveniently fluid. He is biased by [[TheFundamentalist extreme fanaticism and nationalism]] that leads him to do truly awful things to [[WouldHurtAChild the very children he claims to protect]]. This is exemplified by the WholeEpisodeFlashback to his time in the army, where he gleefully fries a group of traitorous rebel {{Child Soldier}}s... while claiming to be AFatherToHisMen to his own squad of {{Child Soldier}}s.
*** Additionally, in the same chapter, he proudly claims to have "never lost a lad," defying the expectation that he views {{Child Soldier}}s as canon fodder. [[spoiler:One of his lads does in fact die in a later fight, but the other children assuage his guilt by insisting Jon "wasn't a lad", since he was the ripe old age of ''18''.]] Duane accepts this excuse, but his brother Lemuel (himself a ChildSoldier at the time) clearly recognizes and is disgusted by his self-serving hypocrisy.
*** In chapter 16, Duane finally [[spoiler:reunites with his long-lost brother]]... only to reject the exact same rhetoric he's been spouting the entire story when he hears it coming from someone else's mouth. [[spoiler:Lemuel]] gives him a scathing rebuke for this, sneering that he lacks the courage to do dirty work and would rather pretend to be a hero by leaving it to others.
---->'''[[spoiler:Lemuel]]:''' The old hollow virtue. The old toothless indignation. Maybe you ''are'' Duane. Grand man for ''speeches'', but when the time came to ''live the word'' how he ''shrank'' from threats to his tender sensibilities... Well, there aren't enough pages in Ssael's writing, nor Gefender scripture, nor even the '''''goddamned book of Duane Adelier''''' to detail all that's been lost to the ''tender sensibilities of weak men''.
** After the deaths of [[spoiler:Sara]] and [[spoiler:Ilya]] prompts CharacterDevelopment from Duane by finally breaking through some of his own hypocrisy, Lori immediately {{lampshade}}s the DisposableWoman trope by snapping the girls were "meant for more than this". That's pretty rich, considering the fate she "meant for" them was to be {{Human Sacrifice}}s (with [[spoiler:Ilya]] in particular trying to escape precisely that fate). What's worse is that ''she genuinely believes this'', as her religious belief is that {{Human Sacrifice}}s are a divine honor that ensures one a reward in paradise; just like with Duane, religion is a helluva drug.
*** While Duane does not call Lori out on this specifically, he ''does'' call her out on saying this after [[spoiler:torturing the stormfolk around the shrine, including ripping out the heart of a baby]]. This gets through to Lori, causing her to break down in tears and agree to [[spoiler:regrow the waterbaby from its heart]].
** Roger Foi-Hellick rejects Shaensigin's method of unmaking the Dammakhert and breaking the Aldish government's control when he learns he'd have to die for it saying he'll be no one's martyr, seconds after casually dismissing that he'd gotten his entire family killed with [[https://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch14/ch14_94.html this little speach:]]
--->''To revolt is to presume to declare: "'''Enough!'''" They had lived '''enough'''; longer than you will even should you die feeble in your bed. But yes, I used my voice in the capital to poison Alderode against them, and my family against Alderode.''

What's worse is that ''she genuinely believes this'', as her religious belief is that {{Human Sacrifice}}s are a divine honor that ensures one a reward in paradise; just like with Duane, religion is a helluva drug.

This gets through to Lori, causing her to break down in tears and agree to [[spoiler:regrow the waterbaby from its heart]].
