** Kronar is part of a ManlyGay barbarian tribe that reproduces via HomosexualReproduction, and states that his bloodline has been free from woman's taint for a hundred generations. You don't say.[[note]]the joke being that "taint" means "stain" (as a misogynistic insult) and is also crude slang for a bit of female anatomy[[/note]]
** The title character apparently died in a massive explosion after [[ItMakesSenseInContext participating in actual, legitimate, sex]]. Guess you could say he went out with a bang, eh?

** Speaking of Nepeta, for a long time the fanbase was unsure whether or not she survived an attack, since we never saw her. In other words, for a while, she could be alive or dead... i.e., SchrodingersCat.
** Nepeta dies in what looks like a TooDumbToLive moment, since Equius had sacrificed his life to protect her, and given her strict orders to remain in the safety of the vent she was hiding in. But she (a CatGirl) was overcome with curiosity, and it killed her.
** A ridiculously convoluted one - Tavros is introduced trying to 'get Dave's goat' by trolling him, and he performs an extremely bad rap in which he describes being stopped by a policeman who discovers him smuggling Dave's goat as well as a goose, which is apparently 'honktraband'. Later on the word 'honktraband' is used by Gamzee, who is a clown-themed troll, and also associated with goats due to his connection with the star sign Capricorn. And it is eventually revealed that he had been in love with Tavros - in short, Tavros had [[IronicEcho 'got his goat' and it was 'honktraband']].

** Equius is an Heir of Void. [[spoiler: He dies by being void of air]].
** Terezi is a troll obsessed with law and order, is a Seer of Mind, is based on the scales sign of the zodiac, and is blind. This is SEVERAL stealth puns- [[spoiler: justice is blind, the blind prophet, and her caretaker is a dragon (which she has plushies of that are referred to as scalemates).]]
** Snowman is the eighth member of a pool based gang comprised completely of male members aside from her. The name refers to both her status as the "8 ball" and the shape of a snowman, but also as [[spoiler: She's no man.]]
** Wandering Vagrant finds a firefly and promptly names it Serenity.
** Nepeta and Feferi appear as a conjoined so you could say that the sprite is a catfish.
* [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=179899 This]] ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'' strip shows the characters scowling at all the taxes taken out of their paychecks. In addition to the usual federal, state, local, Medicare, and FICA, there are also deductions for "snieca", "hearta", "pollex" (Latin for "thumb") and "Persian 9' X 12'"... in other words, [[spoiler: sneak attacks, heart attacks, thumb tacks, and carpet tacks.]]
** Also, there seems to be a chain of coffee shops named "Sundo" (with the bar over the "o" indicating a long vowel). Since the Sun is a ''star'', and do ("dough") is another name for money, or ''bucks'' ...
** When Mr. Mighty is working the night shift, he comes home in the morning just as the kids are leaving for school. He and his wife take advantage of the empty house for some "quality time" ... and in the [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=188238 next strip]], he shows up to work smiling and singing "A Hard Day's Night".[[spoiler: Heheheh ... [[WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead you said "hard".]]]]
** On [[http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=191554 this page]], Mr. Mighty is thwarting a hold-up at the "Red Rooster Natural Mini-Mart". While some readers might recognize "Red Rooster" as a BrandX version of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Hen_Pantry White Hen Pantry]], not everyone will figure out the "Natural" part of the joke. In shooting dice, a "natural" is when you win by rolling a ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Eleven seven or eleven]]''.
* [[http://basicinstructions.net/basic-instructions/2008/7/14/how-to-find-a-job-that-suits-your-interests.html This]] Basic Instructions has Scott suggest that his friend get a job driving a rickshaw as a getaway vehicle for criminals. The idea is already so goofy that you might miss the other joke: his friend is named Rick.
* See if you can spot the stealth VisualPun in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/12/22/ this]] ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' when Gabe sneaks into Tycho's room.
** [[spoiler: Tycho has a picture of the actual Tycho Brahe on his wall.]]
* [[http://warehousecomic.com/comic_637.php This]] post at Webcomic.
* In ''Webcomic/CityFace'', the fairy Torus convinces the pigeon City Face that he has become a human businessman. She then gives him a berry, which she says every businessman needs. "No! You weren't supposed to eat it!" [[spoiler:It was a blackberry.]]
* ''Webcomic/PvP!'' has in one strip Brent tell Francis the following joke:
*** Brent: Did you hear the one about the cannibal who dumped his girlfriend?
*** (Beat Panel)
*** Francis: Ewww... gross!
** Brent at the end even calls it a Stealth Joke.
* ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' has Dave finding a girlfriend online. She's reluctant to meet him in person. He asks her, "Are you afraid I'll turn you off?" [[spoiler: Ironic, since she's actually a computer.]] Later, Dave actually does turn her off [[spoiler: when he downloads his mind into her hardware and erases her, leading to a ShoutOut to ''2001: A Space Odyssey'': "Dave, what are you doing? I'm afraid, Dave ..."]]
* The English title of ''Webcomic/TouhouNekokayou'' is "Scarlet Weather Archive in Japanese Red." This is taken from the VideoGame/{{Touhou}} canon {{Gaiden|Game}} FightingGame ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody'' and the [[AllThereInTheManual book]] ''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red.'' [[spoiler:Then someone noticed what the ''other'' halves of the names make.]]
** Near the end of ''[[InteractiveComic Create.swf Adventures]]: Shenanigans in a Magical Forest'', it's revealed that all of the "player" characters have their own individual "Hax Sign" spellcard. As [[spoiler: Yasora]]'s spellcards begin to wind down, everyone except Marisa uses their respective Hax Sign spellcard, with a fair amount of success. Cue the final sequence, where Marisa's all ready to bust out her long-awaited Hax Sign: [[spoiler: Sepiechritude (a shout out to ProblemSleuth's Sepulchritude]], which everyone assumes to be a huge [[BeamSpam beam attack]] or something of the sort, as per Marisa's trademarks. Then someone noticed [[spoiler: the "[[BrickJoke pie]]" in "[[RuleOfFunny Sepiechritude]]..."]]
* [[http://www.treelobsters.com/2009/08/75-but-wait-theres-more.html This]] ''Tree Lobsters'' has a clever one. On its, the comic works as a relatively straightforward parody of infomercials. Look closely at the description on panel 3, though, then look up elements 11 and 17 on the periodic table. [[spoiler:Sodium and Chloride, respectively. In other words, [[DontExplainTheJoke it's a grain of salt]].]]
* [[http://downthestairs.thecomicseries.com/comics/21 This]] ''Webcomic/DownTheStairs'' comic [[spoiler:shows a growing lightbulb. The pun is that it is growing from a "bulb", like a plant.]]
* In [[http://megatokyo.com/strip/197 this]] ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'' strip, Yuki's brother teases her about calling a large animal vet, and then he starts making cow noises. This doesn't make any sense unless you infer that she was yelling "mou" (used in Japanese as a frustration noise, like "Rrrgh!"), which sounds a lot like "moo."
