16* Red Mage puts all our fears to rest in ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'':
17-->'''Red Mage:''' ''Clearly'' I lack arrogance [[{{Pride}} because that would be a]] ''[[{{Pride}} flaw]]''.
18* In ''WebComic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'', [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/9p23/ Comic 23]] of "I Told You That Story So I Could Tell You This One" has a {{LARP}}er commenting on how tasteless something is while the panel showcases his outfit that includes blackface to look like a dark elf and doesn't get any better in the other details.
19* ''Webcomic/AllNightLaundry'' has this show up in a passing comment when Amie calls [[spoiler:[[TimeyWimeyBall one of the many alternate]]]] Bina 'intense.'
20-->''"I'm not intense," says Bina, intensely.''
21* ''Webcomic/AmazingSuperPowers'' had a lot of fun of this [[http://www.amazingsuperpowers.com/hc/12072008/ here]] (for those who didn't see ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' yet, that's where the images and long-winded rant style came there).
22* ''Webcomic/ApricotCookies'': After Cream unleashes her HurricaneOfPuns, Jammy Smasher remarks that "she sounds absolutely ridiculous", before [[CallingYourAttacks casting her "baby-dew immolation blaster"]].
23* One ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'' [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2120.htm contemporary arc strip]] has Arthur at his computer complaining that there are too many characters to keep track of in ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', while around him are Nimue, Donidel, Dinadin, Gawaine, Girflet, Morgan, Morguase, Gaheris, Lamorak, Pellinore, Eglante, Guenevere, Palamedes, Tristram, Bors, Isolde, Kay, Bedivere, Lancelot, Galahad, Agrivane, Gareth, and Mordred.
24* In ''Webcomic/TheBedfellows'' strip "Next Door," Sheen's noisy neighbor apologies for his loud music as kindly and well-spoken as possible. Sheen tells him to "talk like a normal person and stop being an egotistical jerk!"
25* In [[https://www.theduckwebcomics.com/The_Best_Gamepiece_Photocomic/5643289/ Strip 18]] of ''Webcomic/TheBestGamepiecePhotocomic'':
26--> '''Ventricle Clarkson:''' There's nothing I hate more than a seller resorting to dishonesty because they don't know how to make a sale.\
27'''[[OnlySaneMan Martin:]]''' The last time I went into your store, you rang me up for a $700 order I didn't ask for, then called the cops when I refused to pay.\
28'''Ventricle Clarkson:''' ''That's how you make a sale!''
29* In ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'', Mega Man apologizes for the violence of recent comics and says that violence is wrong. Then a minor comment from Roll causes him to chase her down, Buster firing. When she reminds him that he was supposed to be giving a lesson on nonviolence, he suddenly remembers and continues.
30-->'''Mega Man:''' One more thing: [[TrademarkFavoriteFood ice cream]] is bad for you.
31* ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'' got a good one:
32--> '''Diana''': (to her boyfriend) What kind of FILTHY DEPRAVATION is [[ClosetShuffle THIS]]??? More importantly, why am I not in it??!!
33* In ''WebComic/DatingATeamMagmaGrunt'', Aqua Grunt calls Magma Grunt a deviant for having a 13-year-old boyfriend when she had just been flirting with said 13-year-old.
34* ''WebComic/EerieCuties'': [[spoiler: [[WebComic/MagickChicks Faith]]]] makes [[TheCameo a cameo appearance]] when she mind-sexts Tiffany, to let her know she misses her and how she's always thinking of her... [[http://www.eeriecuties.com/strips-ec/it_is_for_realsies while sleeping with another girl!]]
35-->'''other girl:''' "[[spoiler: Faaaaaiith]]! [[ComeBackToBedHoney Come back to bed!]] I'm looooonnnely!"
36-->[[spoiler: '''Faith:''']] '''(grinning sheepishly)''' "Um... c-catch you later, Sunshine!"
37* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-04-26 makes fun of hacks]] and unnecessary {{exposition}}s (aside of the last panel, see the chapter's name).
38** And TheRant in a later strip talks, at length, about how you shouldn't judge someone on how they feel about things, but on how they act, before concluding "and if you feel differently you’re a jerk and I hate you."
39** "[[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-12-11 We]] were [[MisterDescriptor named]] by scientists, not writers or '''cartoonists'''."
40** [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-04-26 George decisively condemns]] unnecessary detailed {{expospeak}}. [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-01-19 George asks for]] unrealistically detailed {{expospeak}}.
41** [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1970 "This guy has a really annoying play style..."]] While [[MirrorMatch playing identically]]. Followed up with [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1974 "Your deck is infuriating!"]]
42** Sarah [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/party-148 feels guilty]] about comments regarding Tedd and Elliot's gender identities and refuses to accept that they think her feelings were perfectly valid (especially since, at the time, they didn't really understand their gender identities themselves). This [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/party-149 leads to]] her declaring "I WILL NEVER BE THAT SELF-ABSORBED AGAIN!" while they wonder if they're even still part of the conversation.
43* ''Webcomic/FontesRants'':
44-->'''[[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Bridget]]''': You look like a queer, ya know?
45* In ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'', either Gil is pretending to do this to fool Tarvek, or [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110429 he's going on about how he doesn't go on about his games to his enemy]]. To his rival/enemy.
46** In [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100528 this strip]] Old Man Death begs his granddaughter not to hit him with an expensive sausage because it's too valuable. Guess what he uses as an improvised weapon in the next strip?
47** Earlier, Gil castigates Agatha for her poor bedside manner in telling Tarvek that they will [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090819 kill him to cure his lethal illness]]... then he proceeds to [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090821 go into detail]].
48** Gil also chides Bang when he learns she hasn't slept in months, asking if she knows how [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20131216#.YG8edD_TWUk stupidly dangerous that is]]. Despite being ''specifically told'' that she was doing it to keep up with him, since he ''also'' hasn't slept in months.
49** When Agatha [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20140716 remote fires a railgun]] at a random HumongousMecha ''while he's holding it'' Brother Martellus of the Corbettites chides her for enjoying inflicting violence and asks her to relinquish the controls. Because it's ''his'' turn.
50* In ''Webcomic/GirlsWithSlingshots'', Hazel [[https://www.girlswithslingshots.com/comic/gws43 spies on Jameson's date Maureen]], calling her a "grade-A weirdo"...while wearing a goofy-looking disguise with glasses, a mustache, and a GagNose.
51* In ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'', Bowst calls Forgath "''Mr. Can't Wait to Brag About His Level''", when he's the one who couldn't wait to state his own (a whopping level ''three'') and Forgath was just responding to this. Bowst is clearly too dumb to notice the irony.
52* In ''Webcomic/GoGetARoomie'', Ramona seems to make a habit of this when bantering with her twin brother Richard. [[http://www.gogetaroomie.com/index.php?id=326 For example:]]
53-->'''Ramona''' [''{{Dope Slap}}ing Richard'']: You're doing it again.\
54'''Richard:''' Doing what?\
55'''Ramona:''' {{Imagin|eSpot}}ing things without people's permission.\
56'''Richard:''' You do it as much as I do.\
57'''Ramona:''' Of course I don't. I'm ''minutes'' older than you and much more mature.\
58[''in Ramona's ImagineSpot'']\
59'''Ramona:''' Now lads. You may stop fighting over your mistress. There's enough of me for everyone.\
60'''Lillian:''' Excuse me?
61* On [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=482 this page]] of ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'', Antimony deliberately invokes this to put Ysengrin in his place:
62-->'''Ysengrin''': Taking orders from a little girl, ''Sir'' Eglamore?\
63'''Antimony''': You. You will take me to Coyote now.\
64'''Ysengrin''': [[VisibleSilence ...]]
65** [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/view.php?date=2002-02-27 "What an odd thing]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/view.php?date=2000-01-22 to say."]]
66* ''Webcomic/HeadTrip'' [[http://headtripcomics.comicgenesis.com/d/20061204.html presents]]: a long rant about loud, annoying, stupid, spoiled brats. AssholeVictim [[VictimOfTheWeek Of The Week]].
67* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
68** Caliborn expresses his hatred for the comic's tendency for long, meandering chatlogs... in the form of a long, meandering chatlog. Naturally, when this is pointed out, he [[NeverMyFault shifts the blame]], claiming this as an example of how "[=YOu PEOPLE SuCK ME INTO YOuR BuLLSHIT=]".
69** Happens early on when [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness Rose]] assures the readers of her Website/GameFAQs walkthrough that she won't waste their time with PurpleProse...in a spectacularly overly-dramatic, purplish way.
70** This example referencing Jake's AntiquatedLinguistics:
71--->'''GT:''' Nor am I a quaint man of the past. [[IResembleThatRemark Pardon me but do i SOUND like some trollycar bellwether toiling in the heart of the mustache belt from the ruff n tumble year of nineteen aught nine???]]\
72'''TT:''' ...\
73'''TT:''' He said unironically.
74** Karkat Vantas takes a turn when he spends an entire memo chewing out John and Dave for flirting with troll girls over Pesterchum...then, shortly afterward, his attempt to rip into Jade is interrupted by his own future self showing up white knighting for her, in a fashion loaded with ShipTease. Dave's reaction to this is:
75--->'''?TG:''' ahahahahah oh god\
76'''?TG:''' dude i cant believe you were just getting on our case about hitting on the troll girls\
77'''?TG:''' and then literally the very next memo you are slobbering all over jade\
78'''?TG:''' thats just perfect hahahaha
79** Jake gets another, much more elaborate one later on when he sends a long, rambling monologue to Jane... all about how Dirk is too needy, has no idea how to interact with other people due to growing up on his own, and is self-centered enough to keep sending him long, rambling monologues instead of actual conversations. [[ExaggeratedTrope And he has no self-awareness whatsoever!]]
80** At one point Jane Crocker and Dirk's Auto Responder have a conversation where Jane starts dropping some heavy words like [[GoshDangItToHeck shucks]], AR's response?
81--->'''TT:''' Hey, I'm upset about it too, but let's watch the fucking language.
82** In the spin-off ''Webcomic/ParadoxSpace'' story "Three out of Five Hats", Rose [[http://hs.hiveswap.com/paradoxspace/index.php?comic=222 calls Dave out]] on peeking into her unpublished novel and making a rather lazy "review" of it, and Dave answers by calling her out on peeking into his unpublished reviews.
83* At the end of the "Love and Space" arc in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob,'' Voluptua announces she will clear Galatea of all the charges against her if Bob can just get her to ''shut up.'' Zippobic chuckles ruefully in the background, as his main problem with Voluptua is her endless speechmaking.
84* [[http://www.insecticons.com/insecticomics/v2/157.html This strip]] of ''Webcomic/{{Insecticomics}}'' has the introduction of White Chromia. A bit later, Override muses that she wishes White Chromia would have a little more dignity, just before... [[http://www.insecticons.com/insecticomics/v2/160.html well, yeah]].
85* "Joe Loves Crappy Movies" [[http://www.digitalpimponline.com/strips.php?title=movie&id=479 on the subject]] of Mike Tyson's cameo in ''Film/TheHangover''.
86* ''Webcomic/{{Katamari}}'' opens with the Prince accidentally breaking a lamp and his father lecturing him about it. This is, of course, the same King of All Cosmos who has destroyed the heavens several times.
87-->'''King of All Cosmos:''' We cannot imagine being so reckless around something so precious.
88* ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'': Sniper Wolf, whose accent has been exaggerated in the comic [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent to the point where it would be equally out of place everywhere on Earth]] complains that the accents of some Russian criminals they're having to negotiate with are "completely impenetrable", prompting Vulcan Raven to [[AsideGlance stare directly at the fourth wall]].
89* ''Webcomic/LifeWithLamarr'' does this with [[VideoGame/HalfLife Barney Calhoun]].
90-->'''Barney''': Doc, can you ask that pet of yours to not leave dead crap on my bed? Now I'm having to cook this delicious plump-breasted pigeon.
91-->''[[http://jill-sandwich.com/lwl/index.php?episode=5 Episode 5: Expression]]''
92-->'''Barney''': You've gone and messed up his mind with your delicious but contemptible drugs!"
93-->''[[http://jill-sandwich.com/lwl/index.php?episode=31 Episode 31: The Doc gets Leery]]''
94* ''Webcomic/LivingWithInsanity'' had an arc where Alice had to deal with customers who were rude, overly demanding and blamed her for things she couldn't control. When David takes her to a cafe after work, [[http://www.livingwithinsanity.com/index/?p=362 she does this.]]
95* ''Webcomic/LoadingArtist'' has a character [[https://loadingartist.com/comic/waste-of-time/ deride]] his roommate watching a LetsPlay as a waste of time... before heading back to his own TV to watch a football match.
96* In ''Webcomic/MaggotBoy'', the armless martial artist Noemi gets called out for calling [[EnfantTerrible Owen]] a "one-armed midget," but takes it in good humour.
97--> '''Owen:''' One-armed? You really wanna go there, nubs?\
98'''Noemi:''' Heh. {{Touche}}!
99* ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'': Seen during Melissa's inner-monologue when Cerise finally managed to catch her minute of glory in Artemis Academy:
100-->'''Melissa''': (ThoughtBubble) Cerise... you backstabbed Winters, the only nice person we've met here, just to get popular. How dare you... ''How dare you think of this before me!''
101* ''Webcomic/MagIsa'' -- [[http://mag-isa.thecomicseries.com/comics/pl/119151 In early chapters, it was common for characters to calling anime lame, dumb or silly]]... while having {{animesque}} facial expressions.
102* In ''Webcomic/AMiracleOfScience'', one of the background characters [[http://www.project-apollo.net/mos/mos162.html here]] says "no one who is in favor of eugenics should be allowed to reproduce".
103* ''Webcomic/NerfNow'' [[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/717 illustrates]] "a GOOD pubber, different of the rabble which infect the server. He, and only he, have the perfect mix of social life and game prowess."
104** Also, [[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/726 the one]] about paid content (VideoGame/TeamFortress2 hats) being so different from a fashionable damsel's shopping.
105** Or [[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/824 the one]] about ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' characters and their {{imaginary friend}}s.
106* ''Webcomic/NextSoundOfTheFuture'': Shine refuses to search for money under a vending machine to afford a train ticket because she believes it would be shameful right as the narration points out she does plenty of shameful things in her day-to-day life.
107-->'''Shine:''' I'm a Miku! I can't do something so shameful!\
108'''Narrator:''' The girl is unaware that her day-to-day actions are already shameful.
109* Webcomic/NotInventedHere: This exchange;
110-->'''Owen:''' You're both abrasive, know-it-all loudmouths who like yelling and making people wrong.\
111'''Fang:''' *''yelling''* '''''You're wrong and I'll prove it!'''''
112* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' strip "[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0844.html Case In Point]]", Haley points out that one of the traits associated with [[CharacterAlignment the Lawful alignments]] is a willingness to enforce one's own beliefs on others. Durkon and Roy, the two Lawful Good members of the Order, disagree... and then tell her to stop expressing such crazy ideas.
113** "[[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0170.html Where would you like your giant gold tankard filled with beer?]]".
114* There are a few examples in ''Webcomic/OurLittleAdventure'', but the one that stands out the most is when Angelika complains about being fireblasted and then countering with a magic attack that's [[http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0093.html virtually unavoidable.]]
115* ''Webcomic/{{Pacificators}}'' gets a couple of those with [[FieryRedhead Cinna]] and [[ProperLady Muneca]].
116** Cinna is obsessed with hot men, and would read personal ads in hopes of finding a date.
117--->'''Cinna:''' More of those boring and desperate guys. They're no good.
118** Muneca wears [[GorgeousPeriodDress Victorian-era dresses]] all the time.
119--->'''Daryl:''' Yeah, there are some oriental attires you can try. I can write my to my brother and ask for some catalogues.
120--->'''Muneca:''' Perhaps, but I hear that they’re restrictive.
121* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'': [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/8/2/ I am no longer enamored of our loquacious companion.]]
122** Tycho [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2014/11/28/values has very different standards]] on how to buy a television versus computer parts. TheRant confirms the same thing, with Tycho explaining he doesn't care about TV sets the same way he cares about monitors, or other computer stuff.
123* In ''Webcomic/PeterParkerForeignExchangeStudent,'' Peter notices Ochako's crush on Izuku and tells her that Izuku would probably reciprocate if she'd just worked up the courage to ask him out. Ochako points out that Peter hasn't asked Mina or Momo out either.
124-->'''Ochako:''' Deku... you know, he really is something special, isn't he?\
125'''Peter:''' Ya know, you could probably just ask him out instead of sighing in a corner. He'd probably say yes.\
126'''Ochako:''' Oh, yeah? When are you gonna ask Mina or Momo, Mr. Smartypants?\
127'''Peter:''' Shush! Not so loud! Jesus...
128* ''Webcomic/PoisonIvyGulch'': Played straight when a tough guy with PermaStubble [[http://www.poisonivygulch.com/comic/poison-ivy-gulch-7-16-2021/ barks at a bookseller]] to give him a book on manners, insulting him all the while.
129* In the controversial ''Webcomic/{{PVP}}'' strip "Jesus Kills", a parody of the [[ComicBook/ChickTracts Jack Chick]] tract "Dark Dungeons", a distraught Francis goes to Cole to tell him that Brent, who was expelled from their prayer for being gay, killed himself (although Francis didn't stay around long enough to see that he was mistaken). Cole then tells Francis to forget about Brent because, "Brent was a sinner. Just like all the men I'm secretly dating."
130* ''Webcomic/{{Qxlkbh}}'':
131** [[https://qxlkbh.github.io/90 90: an aesop]] tells the reader that the moral is not to write stories with morals.
132** [[https://qxlkbh.github.io/120 120: seecret saturday update]] has Crossley making a rule that new comics can only be posted on Fridays... but the comic itself was posted on Saturday.
133* ''Webcomic/RivalAngels'' sees best friends Sabrina and Sun taking in a movie after work, having snuck in their own food and booze. While waiting for the commercials and previews to end, Sabrina falls asleep and starts softly snoring. Sun turns to her and...
134-->'''Sun:''' '''QUIT SNORING!! YOU'RE GOING TO GET US CAUGHT!'''
135* [[http://www.sandraandwoo.com/2009/05/28/0063-zero-tolerance/ This]] ''Webcomic/SandraAndWoo'' strip has the principal lighting up a cigarette while explaining why drugs--like [[ComicallyMissingThePoint insulin and aspirin]]--are not allowed in school.
136* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' rather frequently milks this for humor.
137** When Schlock, intending to blackmail the clowns at a circus where he's on security detail to get them to cut him in on their illicit brewery, discovers that [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2009-06-15 his boss]] has already done so (since Schlock outed them several strips prior).
138-->'''Security Chef Zysk''': I'd fire you for it, but I'm too drunk to pronounce hippo-whatever.
139** [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2002-07-28 The organic units are proving very selfish]].
140** General Xinchub [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2003-03-08 seems to do it on purpose]].
141** Also, a conversation with a genetically engineered elephant complaining about not fitting in with humans or elephants falls into this when a character whose main feature is his gigantic nose walks by:
142-->'''Corporal Chisulo''': I get so tired of jeers like 'Hey, fatso' or 'Remember me?' or 'Check out the nose on that guy.'
143-->'''Aardman''': ''Ahem''.
144-->'''Corporal Chisulo''': Whoa! Monkey aardvark!
145** Also, [[TheFunInFuneral the "funeral party"]] in ''Royal Flush'':
146-->'''Elf''': Captain, I don't care how much you hate somebody... It's just ''wrong'' to bring cake and champagne to their funeral.
147-->'''Captain Tagon''': (still happy-dancing) Somebody assassinated King Xinchub last night.
148--> (BeatPanel)
149-->'''Elf''': I'll fab some party hats, and maybe some of those noisemaker thingies.
150** ...and [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2007-09-21 it's wrong and too macabre]] to watch for lulz how a 'Chub's clone is carved up.
151** [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-11-18 Kevyn]] decries the use of antimatter grenades. He had a good argument why this doesn't apply to him and [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2005-05-31 his epaulets]]:
152-->'''Kevyn''': The pot is smarter than [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2008-11-09 the kettle]]. The kettle, in this case, is not "black." It is a diffuse cloud of radioactive meat-vapor.
153** Also with a [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2012-08-31 follow-up]]:
154-->'''Kevyn''': You're carrying a poison bomb in your ''mouth?'' Are you crazy?
155-->'''[[spoiler:Para Ventura]]''': Do you still have antimatter bombs in your epaulets, or has hypocrisy gone out of fashion?
156* Art from ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=521 rants]] about obligatory {{fanservice}} being so low-brow...
157--> '''Pip''': Shall we confirm that by watching it again?
158--> '''Art''': Absolutely.
159** later, even more straightforward, he "[[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=607 can't take that guy seriously]]" because of his [[BigOlEyebrows big eyebrows]].
160** Kat [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=609 sneered at]] the "paranormal society" in her college, due to the period when they dressed in ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' outfits. She isn't like this... just click the next comic.
161** And Pip is [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=403 creeped out]] by goths.
162* ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' parodies the ''ComicStrip/MaryWorth'' "[[NewMediaAreEvil Twitter is bad]]" storyline by having Mary complain that you can't convey meaningful information in such a limited format ... over the course of [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2011/comic/book-12/08-this-is-so-babies/justabunchofsentence/ a week's worth of two-panel strips]].
163** And also with Amber and Ethan [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2011/comic/book-12/08-this-is-so-babies/uncanny/ discussing art styles]].
164* In [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/not-limited-2/ this]] ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'' strip, Tip worries that he's self-centered, unempathetic and has poor listening skills ... all of which is clearly ''much'' more important than whatever Sweetheart's problem is.
165* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''
166** It has been pointed out that, while Riff is quick to attack [[InnocentAliens Ayle]][[ImAHumanitarian e]], [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Sam]], and [[DemonicPossession Gwynn]] for being possible dangers to humanity, his own MadScientist experiments probably have a better chance of annihilating the human race than anything. The trope was used in [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/080630 this]] strip:
167-->'''Riff''': I hope Gwynn learned "Gwynn shouldn't mess with powers beyond her control!" ''(the device in his hands starts beeping)'' Uh-oh. You guys might want to jump up and run away, there may not be time to get a safe distance from the radioactive ... ''(the beeping dies down)'' ... never mind, it fixed itself!
168** Kiki the utterly scatterbrained ferret, whose specialty is ComicallyMissingThePoint, sometimes voices the opinion that other characters, including resident schemers Dr. Schlock and Bun-bun, are "not very smart" or "get confused easily".
169** In "Fortune", it turns out Torg and Aylee have suddenly become rich. Gwynn, who doesn't like Torg ([[VitriolicBestBuds at least openly]]), acts unnaturally nicely towards Torg after hearing this. In the next comic, Zoë (who does like Torg, so much that Gwynn was just telling her she has to stop unknowingly dating him) is hugging him to congratulate, and Gwynn goes under her breath, "Ugh. Laying it on a little thick aren't we Zoë?"
170** A FridgeLogic version: In "bROKEN - A Year in the Life of a Villain", the [[TalkingAnimal talking frog]] called [[ADogNamedDog Frog]] complains that Genarro is "racist" because he can't tell apart Frog from another (not talking) frog, Corsica, and says they look the same. Later it's revealed that [[spoiler: "Corsica" has been killed and replaced a number of times and Frog can't tell the difference. Even though he's ostensibly in a relationship with her.]]
171** In "The Immortal King -- Lost and Found", when the main characters return to the abandoned Equinox Casino to pick up supplies, Torg tells Gwynn not to waste time finding the perfect ensemble of clothes. While Gwynn is the one likely to do negative female stereotype stuff like that, this time it's Torg who subsequently spends a long time choosing which shirt to wear (possibly because they all represent significant turns and different moods in his life).
172* ''WebComic/StandStillStaySilent'':
173** General Andersen complains about "old people" when listening to an old couple berate a civil servant. Two pages later, he opts out of a dangerous assignment because:
174--> I'm old.
175** In the prologue, Michael Madsen has no problem being a DeadpanSnarker to his boss.
