* Happens all the time in ''My Name Is Might Have Been'', a ''VideoGame/RockBand'' {{Fan Web Comic|s}}.
* ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' does this in [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/871.html this strip]], which incorporates a number of Duran Duran lyrics, and [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2557.html this strip]], in which the transcript of Galileo's trial consists of the lyrics to "Bohemian Rhapsody".
* In ''Webcomic/ElfOnlyInn'' this was actually a plot point, where Slave made a big deal about someone stealing her (his?) poetry, only later was forced to admit she'd stolen all her poetry from a certain well-known singer.
* One ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' strip involves T-Rex [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=562 trying to hold conversations entirely in lyrics from "A Long December"]] by Music/CountingCrows. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Dromiceiomimus and Utahraptor.
-->''"Come on T-Rex, passing off lyrics as conversation ONLY AMUSES YOURSELF."''
* Happens in [[http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0358.html this strip]] of ''WebComic/DarthsAndDroids''. Annie really seems to like the Broadway; that's not the first time she's done it.
** Meanwhile, Jim is riffing off the Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush duet "Don't Give Up".
* ''WebComic/{{xkcd}}'' does this every now and then, prompting many readers to start quoting the comic. This, inevitably, leads to {{Flame War}}s, they get in one little fight and my mom got scared and said YOU'RE MOVIN' WITH YOUR AUNTIE AND YOUR UNCLE IN BEL AIR
* Mentl in ''Webcomic/TheChallengesOfZona'' is a mage who can use [[ThePowerOfRock favorite song lyrics as powerful spells]].

* In the second ''Li'l Mell'' storyline, a running gag involves Sergio trying to write his own playground songs, based on Music/SimonAndGarfunkel, and Mell telling him they're terrible. In the end, Sergio wonders if they'll see Homeschool Joe again and Mell says she told him "Me and Sergio are down by the schoolyard".
* ''Webcomic/Level30Psychiatry'': [[http://lvl30psy.thecomicseries.com/comics/39/ It turns out Tails' theme from Sonic Adventure was a pretty accurate psychiatric assessment.]]
* Faye attempts it in [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=977 this]] ''WebComic/QuestionableContent'' strip. It doesn't go over well.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick:''

--->'''Haley''': When I was a little girl, my daddy taught me the words of [[Music/KennyRogers a very wise man]]: "You've got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run".\\
'''Elan''': Amen.\\
'''Belkar''': The man makes some fine roast chicken.
* One ''Webcomic/NineteenNinetySomething'' strip has Joel and Aaron lamenting [[AlphaBitch Lindsay's]] latest sucker of a boyfriend - only to realize by the end that they've been quoting Bell Biv [=DeVoe's=] "Poison."
* In one ''Webcomic/SaffronAndSage'' comic, Coriander tells the group information about Dwarves. Including the fact that the men like to form raiding parties and that the women glow. This all turns out to be a set up for Saffron to say [[Music/MenAtWork "We'll go through the land down under, where women glow and men plunder"]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'':
** After crashing King's ([[BalefulPolymorph formerly]] known as Joel Robinson) wedding Pete [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2013/05/24/woe-woe-woe/ quotes]] Simon and Garfunkel.
** Kitsune goes so far as to manifest a karaoke machine to remind Tarot ''[[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2018/04/16/were-gonna-vent-our-frustration/ You can't always get what you waaaant.]]''
* In ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'' Jigsaw [[ScriptSwap hacks]] her stepsister's script in order to Rickroll her [[http://www.lastres0rt.com/comic/they-have-a-real-step-sibling-rivalry-going/ protest speech]].
* ''Webcomic/StrangeSchool'': [[https://strangeschoolnotsogreat.tumblr.com/post/137318907622/encounter-not-ida Chicka]], does this with the Music/{{Vocaloid}} song, "Matryoshka":
---> KALINKA, MALINKA, SNAPPED LIKE A BOWSTRING!\\
TELL ME, TELL ME, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'': [[https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2021/03/17/speedwagon In one strip]], Tycho's discussion of the [[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague Snyder cut]] is derailed when he mentions 'SEO' (search engine optimization) and Gabe assumes it's related to Music/REOSpeedwagon.
-->'''Gabe:''' Well, ''I'' can't fight this feeling anymore.\\
'''Tycho:''' Don't you fucking dare.\\
'''Gabe:''' Honestly? I've forgotten what I started fighting ''for''.\\
'''Tycho:''' God damn you. You piece of shit. [[BreakingThefourthWall Now the strip is over!]]
