* [[KnightTemplar Kore]] in ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' employs a variation on this trope, when one of the goblins he's hunting decides to pull a heroic last stand, distracting Kore while the rest of them flee to safety. In this case, the goal of the torture isn't to get information from the victim, but to make him scream so loudly that his comrades stop trying to flee and come to his assistance.
* Near the end ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'', Ocelot is left with Baker and told to get the Metal Gear codes out of him. Baker, unusually, squeals even before the torture begins, but Ocelot shrugs Baker's words off, even though he knows he's likely telling the truth, commenting that ''first'' he is going to make sure Baker is unable to strain his mind through the pain to make the effort to lie.
* SociopathicHero Ken of ''Webcomic/NoNeedForBushido'' favors this interrogation technique above all others, as seen [[http://noneedforbushido.com/2009/comic/348/ here]]
* Lampshaded in [[http://nonadventures.com/2012/11/17/war-on-error/ this]] ''Webcomic/TheNonAdventuresOfWonderella'' comic where the torturee (in this case an innocent guy Wonderella's dangling off a building) points out that this kind of interrogation never works for the above mentioned reason of him just telling his torturer what she wants to hear...then when she asks him what she wants to hear, he gives her a pep talk that moves her to tears.
