History LampshadeHanging / Webcomics

* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' does it periodically, particularly regarding the [[FurryFandom anthropomorphic characters' lack of clothing]] on the rare occaisions that they do show up clothed.

* Taken UpToEleven in Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}, Colonel Glass mentions not only the trope FacelessGoons, but the fact that there is a TVTropes page on it.

* ''SomethingPositive'' hangs a lampshade on one of its longest-running elements in [[http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp03112009.shtml this strip]]:

* In ''[[AbeKroenen Abe&Kroenen]]'', Abe lampshades ''two'' of the comics' most common gags (characters pulling a stealth Batman-esque appearance and Kroenen's thick German accent) at the same time. [[http://abe-kroenen.livejournal.com/64278.html#cutid1 To be fair, he was pretty pissed off at the time.]]

* ''IWasKidnappedByLesbianPiratesFromOuterSpace'': [[http://rosalarian.com/lesbianpirates/?p=2091 "It appears we're getting dangerously close to a plot hole. ...I mean black hole."]]
* ''SilentHillPromise'' lampshades SmokingIsCool as its protagonist [[http://greer-the-raven.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2sgf74 lights up]].
* ''AnsemRetort'' gives us this beauty.

* [[http://www.itswalky.com/d/20000415.html This]] and [[http://www.itswalky.com/d/19980115.html This]] one from an early ''ItsWalky''.

* ''BobAndGeorge'': "This ending ''sucks.''"
* ''TheLastDaysOfFOXHOUND'' does this a lot concerning the rather... [[YouFailBiologyForever Tenous... Grasp of genetics and biology]] found in the ''Franchise/MetalGear''-verse. Mantis or Naomi are usually the OnlySaneMan in this regard, but of course all these biologically impossible events keep on happening anyway.

* In TropeOverdosedTheWebcomic, Bob [[http://tropeoverdosed.pcriot.com/?p=42 lampshades]] the fact that he lives in a SchizoTech universe.

* In ''{{Sheldon}}'': Arthur, a talking duck, [[http://www.sheldoncomics.com/archive/061116.html says]] to the non-talking animals that, in a piece of fiction, "If one animal talks, they all gotta talk. You gotta keep it consistent."
* ''DarkLegacyComics'' [[http://www.darklegacycomics.com/297.html asks]], "What do you think this is, some kind of badly written melodrama?!"

* ''{{Spacetrawler}}'': The narrative regularly juggles three or four subplots, often timing the transitions between subplots just in time for gratuitous cliffhangers. There's also a FramingDevice that Nogg is telling the entire story to Mr. Zorilla--and Mr. Zorilla eventually gets just as ticked about these shifts as the readers do. [[http://spacetrawler.com/2011/11/13/spacetrawler-185/ On this page]], just as a major mystery about spacetrawler construction is about to be cleared up...

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' lampshades TabletopGames tropes endlessly. [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0546.html Strip #546]] refers to LampshadeHanging by name (as seen in this page's image) and thus lampshades Lampshade Hanging.

* ''[[http://www.ninjaburger.com/nbcrew/85.shtml Ninja Burger]]'': Max ninja tell Steve ninja something every ninja already know about shadow clone technique. Steve ninja is understandably confused.

* "Merciless" is the best word to describe the manner in which ''ExterminatusNow'' applies this trope, usually while subverting or justifying the trope being lampshaded. See TeamPet and TheSmurfettePrinciple.
* Pretty much any comic by S. Sakurai (''Muertitos'', ''GorgeousPrincessCreamyBeamy'', ''{{Intragalactic}}'') will be so crawling with lampshade hangings that choosing specific examples would be pretty hard.
