* StealthPun: In one strip, one of the Doctor's companions asks how Rockaway, New Jersey, came to have its name, prompting a FlashBack to the borough's founder asking a younger Doctor what happened to the interesting rock he'd been planning to use as naming inspiration. The strip ends immediately after that, without explicitly stating that the Doctor had thrown the rock away.

** [[Franchise/HarryPotter Hermione Granger]] says she has an aunt who's a vicar, and has no idea about the Wizarding World. The final panel reveals this to be [[Series/TheVicarOfDibley the Rev Geraldine Granger]].
** In another strip, the Doctor claims that in fiction planes where ''Series/{{MASH}}'' and ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' both happened, Sam and Dean are related to Major Charles Winchester, but the SameSurnameMeansRelated is a coincidence, since the relationship is through their mother.

* CureForCancer: Played for laughs. Kirk, discussing a piece of ForgottenPhlebotinum that appeared only in the first season of ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' and never in subsequent series, says that the reason it didn't catch on was that it turned out to give people who used it cancer; the punchline is that in Kirk's time cancer can be cured with a simple (but mildly annoying) series of injections.

* LactoseOverLiquor: Played with. Superman, in keeping with his squeaky-clean reputation, drinks milk -- which his BizarreAlienBiology metabolizes into alcohol. "After all, lactose and alcohol are just sugar with ideas above its station."
