* In ''ComicStrip/BeetleBailey'', whenever General Halftrack sends his officers a written instruction, it will always have one tiny spelling error that completely changes the meaning of the orders ("buns" instead of "guns", "gag masks" instead of "gas masks", etc.). Someone will point out what the general ''meant'' to say, but then someone else will -- ''always'', ''invariably'' -- ask: "But who dares to tell the general that he's done a mistake?" Nobody dares, and in the end, the officers always do exactly what it says in the instruction, even though it makes no sense. Often, General Halftrack is depicted witnessing the end results of his subordinates' interpreting his orders in some absurd way, and his reaction is always the same: "Now what?"

** Garfield's annoyance at Nermal "the world's cutest kitten".
** Garfield threatening to mail Nermal to Abu Dhabi.
** Jon trying to get Garfield to exercise.
** "I hate Mondays."
*** Garfield blaming Mondays for his problems.

** Whenever characters go and visit their creator it turns out he's on safari.
** Clo-Clo screaming loudly and deafening the others.
** Adhemar saying ''This is scientifically impossible.''
** Abraham Tuizentfloot pricking people with his sabre.
* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' and its TV specials were fond of these, although always with some sort of variation. Lucy pulling the football away, Charlie Brown crashing his kite, etc.
* In ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine'', Stephan Pastis has made a habit of setting up puns that are beyond lame. As of late, this has been lampshaded almost every time with [[LamePunReaction Rat demanding that Pastis quit cartooning]].
* ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'': Jeremy's inability to perceive of his brother's presence until he's just leaving.
