* ''Film/DungeonsAndDragonsHonorAmongThieves''. The scene in which the protagonists visit a spooky barbarian cemetery in the dark of the night in order to perform a spell to [[DeadPersonConversation resurrect the dead and ask them important info]]. What's otherwise a dark scene with great looking undead barbarians pulled off with PracticalEffects quickly becomes comedic when you can only ask four questions before they return dead and Edgin accidentally wastes his forcing the group to repeat the process, and some barbarians reveal that they have died in battle while being KilledMidSentence. And then there's the whole part in which they're frantically escaping from [[DragonsAreDemonic Themberchaud]]... who turns out to be a ''morbidly obese dragon''. It's equal parts terrifying and hysterical given how Themberchaud proves to be a SuperPersistentPredator despite his size, but he's nonetheless a ridiculously chunky dragon who at one point provides an IndyEscape via ''barrel rolling'' towards the heroes.

* The entire shtick of the ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' series, with some regions listing "comic horror" on its ContentWarnings rather than actual horror.

* Lord Farquaad's first scene in ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' has him supervising a scene of horrifying ColdBloodedTorture on an unfortunate prisoner, waterboarding the poor bastard and ripping his legs off. Of course, the victim in question is an animated gingerbread man made of cookie dough, so it's [[PlayedForLaughs still funny]] instead of being horrible.
