* In SonicTheComic Chaotix Crew member Vector constantly yells at Charmy. (When Charmy mentioned this, Vector said that was "Ridiculous! I NEVER YELL AT YOU!")

* In an early issue of ''Comicbook/YoungJustice'', [[TheFlash Impulse]], who acts without forethought ''or'' afterthought ''100% of the time'', said "Boy, don't you hate it when people go off and do whatever they feel like?" after ComicBook/{{Superboy}} headed out to confront a villain alone.

* One ''Les Pretend'' strip in ''TheBeano'' had Les's dad discussing the daft things Les pretended to be with his friends, and them all laughing about it. It was at the end of this strip that we first learnt that Les's dad and his friends are all {{Elvis impersonator}}s.

* In one ''SupermanBatman'' story, Superman and Batman get [[LetsYouAndHimFight forced into a fight]] with a superhero team called the Maximums. When it is revealed that the Maximums' Comicbook/IncredibleHulk {{Expy}} is a little girl in her true form, Batman is furious and yells, "[[WhatTheHellHero You brought a]] ''[[WhatTheHellHero child]]'' [[WhatTheHellHero into this conflict!?]]" Superman shoots Batman a look, knowing full well about Batman's many child sidekicks.
* ''CreatureTech'' has a scene where a mother chastises her husband for saying "hell" in front of the children. Then a monster threatens one of her children, and she flips into MamaBear mode, shouting "Get your hands off my baby, you son of a bitch!"

--> '''BlueBeetle''': ...You think maybe it's too late to petition for a new Green Lantern? Hey Bats -- maybe ''you'' could wear the ring...

* In an ''Archie Comic'', Archie, Betty, and Veronica are at the beach. The girls refuse to sit near the lifeguard as they usually do because they hired a woman lifeguard. Naturally, Archie would like to be near there, but the girls are turned off by the guys going "goo-goo-eyed" over her. But when the shift changes and a muscular guy takes the lifeguard stand, Betty and Veronica waste no time moving near the lifeguard -- and endlessly swooning over him.

* While [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark]] and {{Lois|Lane}} were debating how to explain his absence during [[DeathIsCheap his death]] (don't ask, long story), Clark suggested several [[ClarkKenting extremely stupid]] explanations, including riptides and alien abductions. When Lois asked him what idiots would buy such pathetic excuses, he said: "You did."

* In ''ComicBook/TheSupermanAdventures'', while LoisLane and ComicBook/JimmyOlsen are covering one of Superman's battles, Lois remarks that the populace is treating it "like a cheap prize fight" only to murmur, "Ooh, good one" with the next punch.

* In the ''Comicbook/TeenTitans ''Comicbook/LegionOfSuperheroes'' one-shot, Beast Boy -- who has been a member of multiple incarnations of the Titans based in a building shaped like a giant T -- makes fun of Legion HQ for being shaped like a giant L.

* In ''ComicBook/TheSupermanAdventures'', while LoisLane and JimmyOlsen are covering one of Superman's battles, Lois remarks that the populace is treating it "like a cheap prize fight" only to murmur, "Ooh, good one" with the next punch.

** DonRosa's "Gyro's First Invention" has Scrooge lecturing Gyro Gearloose on the dangers of overvaluing his first invention: "What sentimental rubbish is that?! You can't base your whole career on such a small achievement! You won't get far in life with such a warped sense of proportions!" -- all while carefully restoring his NumberOneDime to its pedestal.

* Occurs fairly frequently in ''Webcomic/DorkTower'', either when the characters are complaining about a behavior they also embody, or when they're LeaningOnTheFourthWall about John Kovalic's writing or art.

* In an ''Archie Comic'', Archie, Betty, and Veronica are at the beach. The girls refuse to sit near the lifeguard as they usually do because they hired a woman lifeguard. Naturally, Archie would like to be near there, but the girls are turned off by the guys going "goo-goo-eyed" over her. But when the shift changes and a muscular guy takes the lifeguard stand, Betty and Veronica waste no time moving near the lifeguard -- and repeatedly fawning over him.

* In [[http://pics.livejournal.com/uadlika/pic/00075z0y an issue]] of ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'', [[KidHero Misfit]] tells [[Comicbook/NewGods Big Barda]] she can't stand watching BlackCanary's adopted daughter. Misfit goes on a rant about how little girls are annoying. Barda agrees with that statement.

* In an early issue of ''Comicbook/YoungJustice'', [[TheFlash Impulse]], who acts without forethought ''or'' afterthought ''100% of the time'', said "Boy, don't you hate it when people go off and do whatever they feel like?" after {{Superboy}} headed out to confront a villain alone.

* A rather dark example in ''Huntress: Year One'': Barbara Gordon and two colleagues from the justice department are attending a conference on organized crime in Italy when the news comes out of the murder of notorious crime boss, Capo di Tutti Capi Stephen Mandragora, and toast his death at a local bar. A woman at the bar berates them for this, saying "'''Never''' toast someone's death," and that "it's naive to think death solves anything." All of which sounds quite reasonable, except that the woman at the bar, Helena Bertinelli, the Huntress, is the one who killed him!

* A rather dark example in ''Huntress: Year One'': Barbara Gordon and two colleagues from the justice department are attending an Interpol conference on organized crime in Italy when the news comes out of the murder of notorious crime boss, Capo di Tutti Capi Stephen Mandragora, and toast his death at a local bar. A woman at the bar berates them for this, saying "'''Never''' toast someone's death," and that "it's naive to think death solves anything."

** Creator/CarlBarks's comic story "Only a Poor Old Man" had Uncle Scrooge lecturing WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck on how he'd be more secure if he had wealth. While making sure a mouse didn't eat his dollar bills.

** That's a recurring joke, too. In another Don Rosa comic ("The Treasury of Croesus"), Scrooge uncovers the money bin of king Croesus, who had left a room for his first coin. A historian comments: "Who would have guessed someone would be crazy enough to consider a single coin his greatest treasure?" Scrooge isn't amused.

--> '''Blue Beetle''': ...Yeah... besides, who'd ever buy a Super-Hero called the "Green Batman"? I mean, that's as bad as--

* In one panel of ''Comicbook/GothamCitySirens'', Batman makes a teeth-baringly horrific face while telling Riddler "You're not helping people by scaring them."
* In [[http://pics.livejournal.com/uadlika/pic/00075z0y an issue]] of ''ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey'', [[KidHero Misfit]] tells [[Comicbook/NewGods Big Barda]] she can't stand watching BlackCanary's adopted daughter.

* In ''Franchise/TheSmurfs'' comic book story (and AnimatedAdaptation) "King Smurf", the title character admonishes his captain of the guard Hefty Smurf for failing to have a sense of humor when dealing with Jokey playing one of his usual "surprise" jokes on him.
