* ''Webcomic/CursedPrincessClub'': During [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/comedy/cursed-princess-club/ep-16-breakfast-at-the-plaid-kingdom/viewer?title_no=1537&episode_no=16 breakfast]] with his family, Prince Frederick of the Plaid Kingdom declares his refusal to go through with his ArrangedMarriage to [[FaceOfAThug Gwendolyn]], confident that his brothers' happier engagements to the other Pastel Kingdom princesses will secure his father's AltarDiplomacy between the two kingdoms even without him marrying Gwen. [[AbusiveParents King Leland's]] response to this is to chuck a knife through the bagel Frederick is holding, which pulls it from his hand and pins it to the wall. Then Leland explains, while holding a terrified Frederick up by his shirt collar, that the other girls would back out of their engagements in solidarity with their jilted sister -- so Frederick ''will'' marry Gwendolyn, or else he'll "be trading places with that bagel."
* [[ButtMonkey Biggs]], of all people, from ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures''. He does a lot of unethical things, but threaten his family and [[http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1374.php look out]].
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
** Tarvek manages to get across his willingness to kill if need be by way of emphasising the gun he has to the throat of a villain who wrongly assumed that Tarvek holds to ThouShaltNotKill:
--->'''Tarvek:''' I've never really considered myself the "hero" type. Are you the "take his secrets to the grave" type? Just asking.
** Later, Seffie is able to do this through her bodyguard, Sparafucile, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20190506 simply smiling at the guy]]. He takes the hint readily.
* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'', when Revolver Ocelot tells Dr Naomi to tailor her DNA-specific virus to the members of FOXHOUND.
-->'''Naomi:''' I mean, it's not like I have a problem with it but... why would they want that?\\
'''Ocelot:''' Welcome to Ocelot Shack. You've got questions, I've got bullets.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
** Vaarsuvius gets very annoyed at the rest of the Order while they [[ForcedTransformation stuck in the form of a lizard]], and the first thing they does after being restored is to effortlessly Disintegrate a dragon that had been threatening them:
--->'''Vaarsuvius:''' Fascinating. I cannot help but notice that the disintegrated remains of a dragon are indistinguishable from those of a human, or a halfling, or a dwarf.\\
'''Roy:''' Point taken.
** Subverted in another strip. Annoyed about being distracted from [[AmbiguousGender his/her]] research, Vaarsuvius [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0597.html threatens]] [[TheDitz Elan]]. For context, V had just killed a minor villain in cold blood to avoid having to waste time putting him on trial for his crimes, and Elan had threatened to report V.
--->'''Vaarsuvius''': Do as you wish, though I find it odd that one who just witnessed the haste with which I will remove that which distracts me from my crucial research would risk becoming just such a distraction one's self.\\
''(BeatPanel)''\\
'''Vaarsuvius:''' Because then I might be forced to remove the distraction.\\
'''Elan:''' I don't get it.\\
'''Vaarsuvius:''' YOU are the distraction in this case. Remove the distraction, which is you. Remove YOU with haste.\\
'''Elan:''' ...What are you getting at?\\
'''Vaarsuvius:''' Oh, forget it. It would take longer to make you understand than it would to research the next spell.
** In [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1079.html this strip]], Bandana tells Andi that [[spoiler:knocking her out and seizing control of the ship during a battle]] is Andi's "Strike One."
-->'''Andi''': ...What... what happens on Strike Three?\\
'''Bandana''': Nuthin'. 'Cause you won't make it past Strike '''Two.'''
* Downplayed in ''Webcomic/PixieAndBrutus''. After Pixie warns him against messing with Randall, a raccoon, Brutus says that that would be wise because Randall would likely tear his stripy tail off. Pixie doesn't get the threat, but Randall does.
* ''Webcomic/TheSanityCircus'': Posey loves doing this. She muses on whether Steven 'will look as lovely in two pieces as the other one...', and when Attley's mother tries to escape from her paralysation magic mutters 'Oh dear, is my spell breaking already? I'm very rusty. Perhaps something a little more permanent will do...'
* Being a comedy about a mercenary company, this crops up frequently in ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary''.
** After Commander Kevyn [[SelfDestructMechanism self-destructs]] Schlock's new [[{{BFG}} plasma cannon]] to cover an escape:
--->'''Schlock:''' I was gonna [[ICallItVera name that gun.]]\\
'''Kevyn:''' I know, but this way they won't expect to [[NeverFoundtheBody find our bodies.]]\\
'''Schlock:''' They might find yours.
** And when a spaceport security official is gleefully preparing to give Dr. Bunnigus the "enhanced search":
--->'''Schlock:''' When a firefighter pulls a baby out of a burning building and says "[[AllAPartOfTheJob I'm just doing my job]]", that guy gets a medal. But when a tin-pot bureaucrat says "I'm just doing my job" [as an excuse for groping a woman], he gets ''filled'' with metal. Little pieces, moving very fast.
** A mutual example when a [[TheMafia crooked union boss]] threatens Breya.
--->'''Mobster:''' Listen up. I own every [[TheBrute bailbondsman, bouncer, stevedore and personal trainer]] in the area. These are some big boys who get bores sometimes and want some rough play, if you know what I mean.\\
'''Breya:''' Oh, I know exactly how boys can be. I'm a [[HiredGuns mercenary admiral]], and I've got a company full of [[TestosteronePoisoning testosterone factories]] looking to earn some extra money roughhousing. My guys come with [[PoweredArmor full power armor]], [[{{BFG}} personal artillery]] and air support. What do your boys play with?\\
'''Mobster:''' [[OhCrap Er... I... Uhm, maybe...]]
** When them company has [[ArtificialIntelligence Ennesby]] fill in a form that isn't allowed to be filled in with a computer.
--->'''Ennesby:''' I hope your fine government does not discriminate against artificial life-forms.\\
'''ObstructiveBureaucrat:''' Humph. It's legal, but it's certainly a violation of the ''spirit'' of the law.\\
'''Breya:''' [While Schlock branishes his plasma cannon] The spirit of the law is the least of the things we're prepared to violate.
** When trying to get the team into a scientific conference.
--->'''Scientist:''' I can't sell passes to this crowd. See... they're...\\
'''Kevyn:''' They're what? Mundanes? Heathen? Muggles? '''Armed'''?\\
'''Scientist:''' I was going to say "not on the list". Did you say "armed"?\\
'''Kevyn:''' [[BlatantLies No.]] I said "perhaps you should check the list again, this time in 'edit' mode."
** When their client has been assasinated before they could get there, and the local government demands the advanced payment of that client back.
--->'''Tagon:''' I'm sorry, it's very, very non-refundable.\\
'''General Hunning:''' You were contracted for the use of force, and you've not actually done that. You haven't done any of the violent work that retainer was for.\\
'''Tagon:''' Are you suggesting I may have to resort to violence in order to keep my money.\\
'''Hunning:''' Yes, I... [[DidntThinkThisThrough Erm... no, never mind.]]
** When renegotiating with the ship repair company.
--->'''Tagon:''' Here are the new terms of our contract: First, our payment to you will be reduced by the amount of the bribe you accepted form Colonel Pranger.\\
'''Repair robot:''' Agreed, but it must be adjusted back up a bit to account for the two Daysun-Tingo robots you've destroyed.\\
'''Tagon:''' You can take my terms as they are, or you can adjust the payment up to account for the destruction of '''three''' Daysun-Tingo robots.\\
'''Repair robot:''' But you've only... [[LateToThePunchline oh]].
* ''{{WebComic/Unsounded}}'' has [[http://www.casualvillain.com/Unsounded/comic/ch13/ch13_112.html this exchange]] between Captain Hetr and [[spoiler:Emil Toma]], thought to be dead:
-->'''Hetr:''' My, [[spoiler:Toma]]. You're looking surprisingly spry for a dead man.\\
'''[[spoiler:Toma]]:''' ''[{{death glare}}]'' So are you.
