* ''WebComic/EightBitTheater'' in between all the ComedicSociopathy, InsaneTrollLogic and surrealism, has a few moments like this. Just a few.
** The page where [[spoiler: Black Belt]] dies is played completely straight, being an internal monologue where he laments his missed potential.
** The sequence where [[spoiler: Black Mage gains evil superpowered magic and the rest of the Light Warriors fight off against him in a LastStand]] is largely played very straight. Though this is mostly just to make the AntiClimax sting that much more.

* The ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars]] games are [[WarHasNeverBeenSoMuchFun typically lighthearted affairs]], but each game has a few moments of seriousness.
** The first game has Grit and Nell reminiscing about their past in "History Lesson", and Kanbei's reunion with Sonja in the ending.
** The second has Olaf's hometown's destruction by the Black Hole Army in "Toy Box", which is played entirely seriously, civilians thanking Kanbei after he willingly walked into a trap to save them in "Duty and Honor", and Jess' decision to meet Black Hole's attack near an active volcano in "Rain of Fire". (The latter being one of the few missions to play loss dialogue seriously instead of using it for [[PlayerNudge gameplay advice]])

* ''Fanfic/BurningSecret'': While it's mostly a DarkFic about Lincoln processing his guilt for accidentally starting a school fire, there is the odd joke:
** At the beginning, Lincoln tries to put his mind off the fire, only to find games and comics about fire or crime.
** Lucy buys a lot of garlic knots, since VampiresHateGarlic, and she plans on becoming one, so she decides to eat as much garlic as she can before becoming a vampire.
** When Lincoln's sleep deprivation starts getting to him, he begins hallucinating goofy things, like his sisters dressed in crazy outfits and his classmates as ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' characters.

This leads to a SadTimesMontage of Alex getting injured and later gloomily sitting on a rock alone and it's shown that his friends miss him.

* ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'' is as ridiculous as its name implies, but there are some chapters that are dead serious:
** The plot of Volume 3 starts with Hakari's mother issuing a BreakUpDemand for her daughter, forcing Rentarou and the other girls to try and rescue her.
** Chapters 134 and 135 involve Shizuka's mother confiscating her daughter's phone, which she was using for communication via a text-to-speech app, prompting Rentarou to confront her about it.
