* Near the end of ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'' volume 5, Scott says [[spoiler:to Ramona before she disappears]], "I don't care who you are, or where you're from, or... what you did. [[Music/BackstreetBoys As long as you love me.]]"
* This exchange from an issue of ''Franchise/{{Justice League|OfAmerica}}'' upon discovering a familiar face:
-->'''Wonder Woman:''' Abra Kadabra!\\
'''Green Lantern:''' [[Music/SteveMillerBand Gonna reach out and grab ya...]]
* There was a panel of ''Comicbook/YoungJustice'' where the characters end up quoting "War" and {{lampshad|eHanging}}ing it: "War?" "What is it good for?" "Absolutely ''nothing''!" "I love that song." "It's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn91L9goKfQ song?]]"
* The following exchange between ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} and a nightclub owner:
-->'''Nightclub Owner:''' You got...you got powers right?\\
'''Deadpool:''' Oh yeah, I'm a super freak.\\
'''Nightclub Owner:''' A super freak?\\
'''Deadpool:''' I'm super freakayyy.
** There's another comic which has Deadpool ending a flashback with a casually-spoken "You ain't seen nothin' yet." Cut back to present day, with a two-page spread of him standing in front of a giant explosion, arms in [[LargeHam air guitar]] position, belting, "B-B-B-BABY, YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN' YET!!"
** When fighting the Comicbook/{{Thunderbolts}} during ''ComicBook/DarkReign'', Deadpool gets shot through the left torso by the Black Widow. He sinks to the ground, wheezing "S-shot...through...the heart..." Just as the Thunderbolts think they finally got him to shut up, he springs back up with [[Music/BonJovi "AND YOU'RE TO BLAME! YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME!"]] In the same arc, Comicbook/{{Taskmaster}} gets in on the action while disguised as Deadpool; Black Widow asks him who he is, and he responds with [[Music/SteveMillerBand "Some people call me the space cowboy... some people call me the gangster of love."]]
* One of the cases in ''Ogenki Clinic'' has a rock singer as a patient. All of her lines include at least two or three song titles.
* In ''Comicbook/VForVendetta'', V introduces himself to a priest by saying, "Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth... and taste." You probably remember this as the first line of The Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil". Later, when asked where he's going, he says, [[Music/VelvetUnderground "I'm waiting for the man."]]
* In Creator/PaulCornell's ''Comicbook/KnightAndSquire'', the British superheroes include The Milkman -- who once fought a villain called Two-Ton Ted from Teddington. It remains to be seen if his [[SecretIdentity real name]] is [[Creator/BennyHill Ernie]].
* During the ''ComicBook/SalvationRun'' mini-series, most of DC's villains were exiled to a distant planet, where they started to form separate factions. In one scene, ComicBook/TheJoker is walking along a makeshift watchtower with Shadow Thief, complaining, "[[StealthPun There must be some way out of here!]]", in reference to the first line of Music/BobDylan's "All Along the Watchtower", [[DontExplainTheJoke "There must be some way out of here, said the joker to the thief."]] {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when the Joker then commented, "I must be losing my mojo, there's a joke in there somewhere and I can't find it!"
* The third issue of ''ComicBook/MegaManArchieComics'' has Dr. Light tell Mega Man the following: "[[Music/TheMegas I made you in my image. I built your heart and gave you eyes. I gave you power and a sense of justice beyond any compare. I gave you hands, a child's face... heh... robot hair. But this burden, the burning in your heart, I did not put there.]]" This is almost a word-for-word recitation of the chorus of "The Message from Doctor Light" by Music/TheMegas.
** The Megas get quoted again much later on at the end of this exchange between Break Man and Mega Man:
--->'''Break Man:''' What are ''you''? Dr. Light's assistant? His ''weapon''? ''His son?!''\\
'''Mega Man:''' I'm ''all'' those things.\\
'''Break Man:''' '''''THEN WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO BE?!'''''
* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' does this many times, mostly with songs from the main game series:
** In issue 205:
--->'''Dr. Eggman:''' [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure2 I will destroy the blue one, you know!]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvERHiTfx9w He's an obstacle that always gets in my way!]]
** Later, in the same issue:
--->'''Dr. Eggman:''' Here it comes, rodent! Right from the show!\\
'''Sonic:''' "From the show"?\\
'''Dr. Eggman:''' [[WebAnimation/YouTubePoop From the show!]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bNCfEvQFUY I'm gonna be on TV! I'm gonna be a TV star!]]
** In Sonic Universe issue 53:
--->'''Knuckles:''' Eggman and Wily, huh? Where are they? I want first crack at them!\\
'''Sonic:''' Uh-huh, 'cause you're [[VideoGame/SonicAdventure tougher than the rest of them? The best of 'em? Tougher than leather?]]\\
'''Knuckles:''' Grrrr...
* The ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'' comics even get in on this fun.
--->'''[[spoiler:Neo Metal Sonic:]]''' No more games. Tell me where my master is. '''NOW.'''\\
'''Sonic:''' [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006 I never fear the fall.]]
* In ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyMicroSeries'' Issue #3 [[spoiler:Hoity Toity joyously proclaims Flax Seed is [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E9SweetAndElite the next pony every pony should know]] at the Canterlot fashion show]].
* In ''Hoax Hunters'' #5, which takes place in 1984, Hoax Hunters agent Alan Lawson meets with Lauren Reynolds, who had recently encountered the Jersey Devil. As he tells her about his organization and offers her a job with them, he says "Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world" -- a line from 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'. Earlier in the issue, he was actually singing it; he claims a catchy hook is "the most potent mind control there is."
* During Creator/AlanMoore's run on ''ComicBook/CaptainBritain'', [[RealityWarper "Mad Jim" Jaspers]] gives into this trope during one of his AGodAmI moments;
-->"I made you! I made everything! I made the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tyger tiger and the lamb]]! [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXmsLe8t_gg I put the bomp in the bomp-bah-bomp-bah-bomp and the ram in the rama-lama-ding-dong!]]"
* Happens often in ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'': In the original French version of ''Asterix in Belgium'' the Belgian chieftain claims that in "his flat country the only mountains are oppidums". This is a reference to a line from Belgian singer Music/JacquesBrel's song "Le Plat Pays" ("The Flat Country") "...avec des cathédrales pour des uniques montagnes" ("Where the only mountains are cathedrals.")
* A common trait of Luci's in ''ComicBook/TheWickedAndTheDivine''. When she complains about Laura being too old for her the following exchange occurs:
-->'''Laura''': I'm only ''just'' seventeen?\\
'''Luci''': [[Music/TheBeatles You know what I mean]].
* In the ''Comicbook/DoctorWhoTitan'' Eleventh Doctor comics, the companion John Jones is a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Music/DavidBowie. He spends most of his first trip to space quoting "Space Oddity" and "Starman". A later story has him suffering horrible hallucinations from eating alien food and muttering {{Non Sequitur}}s like "Not rock'n'roll! ''Genocide!!''" and "Hope ... is a cheap thing".

* When Dweeb and Sleepwanker play 'the Oldest Game' in ''ComicBook/SoulsearchersAndCompany'' #3, it devolves into this:
-->'''Sleepwanker:''' I am darkness and utter annihilation! And what'll you be then, huh?\\
'''Dweeb:''' I am hope.\\
'''Sleepwanker:''' Well, I'm Crosby! Not to mention Stills, Nash '''and''' Young!\\
'''Dweeb:''' I am the '''walrus''', goo goo job!
* ''ComicBook/LockeAndKey'' has this bit in the ''Crown of Shadows'' arc when [[BigBad Dodge]] finds the titular crown and [[CastingAShadow summons the shadows]].
-->'''Dodge''': [[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel Hello, darkness... my old friend.]]
