* Parodied in ''Webcomic/{{Adventurers}}'', when the BigBad gives the second type of NotSoDifferentRemark to the hero in [[https://web.archive.org/web/20140817062246/http://adventurers.keenspot.com/d/20051122.html this strip]], and has it fall flat almost immediately since the only examples he could come up with were their similar heights and shared penchant for pointy hair. He admitted that he probably shouldn't have made it up on the fly.
* In ''Webcomic/BloodySweet'', protagonist Naerim realizes that she and antagonist Roxanna have both suffered through similarly painful pasts, treated like witches and scorned by their peers. [[spoiler:She tries to connect with her on this level in the climax, pointing out that while she doesn't know Roxanna's exact pain, she can understand what she went through and she can help her move past it. Unfortunately, Roxanna is beyond help at that point.]]

Later, it becomes evident that Ansom and Stanley are both fighting for their respective visions of [[MissionFromGod the Titans' will]].
* Parodied in [[http://gastrophobia.com/index.php?date=2008-10-17 this strip]] of ''Webcomic/GastroPhobia'', where Pneuma's attempt to invoke this falls completely flat.
* Not said by a villain, but comparing a CorruptCorporateExecutive to his son: Rollie, of ''Webcomic/GeneCatlow'', explains exactly how Steven Avariss is like his father. It boils down to an aspect of their personalities that ''could'' be good or bad, depending on how it's applied.
* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080305 This]] strip has [[OverlordJr Gil]] realize this about his father, Baron Wulfenbach.
--->'''Gil:''' ...Oh. Oh, ''no''. This must be how my ''father'' feels -- ''all the time!''
** Agatha implied this to poke fun at [[VitriolicBestBuds both]] of [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080929 her]] [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20090724 suitors]].
** Tarvek [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110422 counterattacks]] whenever Gil tries to claim a moral high ground. And after being provoked into the rant [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20110427 says it straight]] (while Agatha still pokes fun at them both):
---> '''Tarvek''': I'm guessing ''you'' might be just as much of a sneaky, manipulative weasel as ''me''. Probably even for a lot of the ''same reasons''.
** And again, in the cousin banter:
---> '''Tarvek''': I... keep forgetting [[IdiotHero he's]] a ''[[MadScientist spark]]''.
---> '''Violetta''': Really. So you've ''completely missed'' the fact that he's overbearing, self-aggrandizing and ''certain death to be around?''
** When [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200422#.Xy27xDV7mUk Gil and Martellus]] make the same snarky comment about Tarvek [[SpeakInUnison in unison]], you can see the wind disappear from Gil's sails as he realises his and Tarvek's regular SnarkToSnarkCombat has suddenly put him on the same side as the resident SmugSnake.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Goblins}}'' Forgath tries to invoke this to persuade his [[FantasticRacism specist]] partner Minmax that their new snake-girl companion is in fact a perfectly normal and sound being and thus shouldn't be slaughtered for XP as Minmax is eager to do. [[http://goblins.keenspot.com/d/20100524.html Hilarity]] [[http://goblins.keenspot.com/d/20100531.html ensues]].
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** [[spoiler:Jade is so frustrated with her newly resurrected dream self that she begins verbally and physically beating her.]] Then [[spoiler:Karkat]] comes pestering with a "friendly" reminder that this behavior isn't unlike his insulting his past/future self...which she had gotten quite pissed off at him about not much earlier.
** Vriska attempts this with Terezi, but given that Vriska has greviously injured other trolls [[ForTheEvulz just for fun]] while Terezi only ever murdered 'bad' trolls or to seek revenge, and given that Alternia is a CrapsackWorld anyway, it falls flat.
---> '''AG''': Cause even though you got all these highfalutin morals and fancy reserv8tions, you know as well as me that a killer is a killer is a killer!
** Occurs again in the Act 6 Act 3 Intermission when Meenah chides [[{{Jerkass}} Cronus]] for bullying Mituna and he points out that she's not exactly a saint either and that in alternate timeline she basically used him to power her spaceship. Meenah struggles to find fault with his argument, but ultimately gives up because she doesn't really care what Cronus thinks.
** Another event in that intermission has Porrim deliver a massive social justice rant to Latula, who comments that she seems to be [[PersonAsVerb pulling a]] [[SoapboxSadie Kankri]].
** Vriska is introduced to us right away as an overdramatic troll who wants to involve herself in absolutely everything important, even if it means making terrible decisions. Her corresponding pre-scratch troll, Aranea, seems to be much more softspoken, described by Terezi as "[=4 N1C3 VR1SK4=]". However, [[spoiler: when Aranea decides to try to defeat Lord English by reviving herself and preventing our heroes from creating a new universe, as is the goal of the game, we find that Aranea's and Vriska's motives are very much the same. She ultimately fails and [[KarmicDeath dies]]. After all this, John later refers to Aranea as "the other vriska", showing just how similar the two really are. This makes quite a bit of sense when you consider how messed up Mindfang, Aranea's post-scratch self, was.]]
* Happens ''a lot'' in ''{{Webcomic/Lightbringer}}''.
** The titular character quickly becomes tired of it:
--->'''Lightbringer:''' ''It's the same damn speech I keep hearing. "You're just like me." "We both want the same thing." 'why are you fighting against me?" [[JacktheRipOff The Gentleman]] told me it. The [[SlasherSmile Smiling]] [[OmnicidalManiac Man]] said he used to be just like me. Werres told me we fought the same fight. And now [[WellIntentionedExtremist Darkbringer]] is using the tired old bit.(...) I'm sick of evil people telling me I'm like them.''
** Also, one interesting example was when [[spoiler: Police Chief Eddie Crane tried to arrest Bruiser, former cop turned into VigilanteMan after death of his kids. Bruiser said he knows what Crane did to murderers of his own family, making Crane left him go]].
* ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'': It's hinted that the reason Commander doesn't try to change Jared is because he's not very much different from Jared, especially around his siblings and army family. Jonesy even literally called him [[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/sometimes-i-dont-know-if-things-i-write-are-funny-or-just-kind-of-weird Angel's fuzzy, 300 pound Jared.]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Myth}}: A Promise'' has Cronus making the comparisons between himself and his son Zeus. Both were the youngest child of their generation, choosen and empowered by Gaia. What makes them different is that Zeus [[IGaveMyWord never breaks his promises]].
* In ''Webcomic/NoRestForTheWicked'',
** [[http://www.forthewicked.net/archive/04-13.html Red and The Witch, as Perrault pointed out.]]
** [[http://www.forthewicked.net/archive/03-77.html Claire and her parents, according to her.]]
* ''[[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick Order of the Stick]]'':
** Almost {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0372.html this]] comic, when Redcloak points out that Miko having class-induced lack of fear makes her just as "unnatural" as the undead sorcerer Xykon. It doesn't take, however, [[spoiler: especially considering [[AllThereInTheManual Redcloak has been granted immunity to aging and disease thanks to his Crimson Mantle, and thus is unnatural through divine magic]] but [[WordOfGod doesn't recognize this in the speech]].]]
** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0606.html Later on]], Shojo gives Belkar this line, kicking off what's effectively a ChaoticGood BreakThemByTalking. Of course, in the same sentence, he also adds that they are NotSoSimilar, but adds that such distinctions aren't necessary at the moment.
** When Elan finally realizes that his father is Evil, he declares that he's no better than his EvilTwin Nale. Tarquin takes offense, deriding Nale as an egomaniac more interested in being the center of attention than a functioning plan for world domination. But as the arc goes on, Tarquin proves to be no different; he continues to antagonize the Order because he wants to be main villain in an traditional hero-son vs villain-father story, which he thinks only works if Elan is the leader, which means Roy and others who could overshadow him must die. He wastes time, manpower and personal favors pursuing this goal, showing himself to be more concerned with being the center of attention than his long-time goal of taking control of the continent.
* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' fancomic ''Webcomic/AntiHeroes'', Finx attempts a NotSoDifferentRemark when facing down Aldran. Aldran responds by {{deconstruct|edTrope}}ing it before declaring ''[[http://www.antiheroescomic.com/comic/71 I'll still win]]''.
* ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'': [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1451#comic Strip 1451]] demonstrates the underutilized tactic of trying this on God.
--> '''God''': "What about all those children you killed?"\\
'''Guy''': "They were all firstborn sons of Egyptians."
* ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' There is a strange variation in [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3519 this]] strip, where Fuchsia, formerly a DepravedBisexual succubus and TortureTechnician for The Devil, in the midst of a VillainousCrush and a HighHeelFaceTurn, listens to her love interest, Criminy, relate a story that could very easily be about Sinfest's main character, Slick, and comes to realize that she has a lot in common with the Damned Souls that she formerly took delight in tormenting. Her response, is to sit with the Damned and hold their hands, offering them comfort.
* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' has a rare example where all the people involved are good guys (or at least [[DesignatedHero Designated Good Guys]]). MadScientist and BadassLongcoat Riff has always taken the view that Aylee, an originally [[ImAHumanitarian man-eating]] alien is too big of a threat to the world to be allowed to live. Eventually Torg [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=070918 delivers the NotSoDifferentRemark on Aylee's behalf]]:
-->'''Torg:''' We're her ''family'', Riff. This is her ''home'' now. She's not going to destroy it anymore than you would ... with your various nuclear isotopes and biological pathogens ... OK, bad example. Actually, it's ''not!'' Riff, with all your dangerous scientific experiments, I put it to you that Aylee is ''less'' likely to threaten humanity than you!
* ''Webcomic/StrongFemaleProtagonist'' has a hero [[http://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/issue-3/page-75/ deliver one of these]] ending with "So if I've got a voice in my head that tells me to crush people, then I think you probably have the voice that says the other thing too."
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': [[SmugSnake Kim]] [[ArcVillain Lurker]] sees the parallels between him and TheHero [[HotBlooded Ja Wangnan]]. They both [[spoiler: had their dreams toyed with and both have sacrificed a lot of people to get where they are]]. Ja is shocked and admits the similarity, but this immediately leads to his showing how they are also different, as he shows mercy to Lurker, who'd just [[spoiler: brutally killed his friend for not much reason.]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'': PlayedForLaughs [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-3-page-22 here]] when Johnny goes on a [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext more bizarre rant than usual]] to [[WeNeedADistraction distract Max long enough to steal his bat]].
-->'''Johnny:''' Listen, we're not so different, you n' me. Like, our faces are very similar.\\
'''Max:''' I'm kind of on the phone, so...\\
'''Johnny:''' Point is, Max, we live in a world with lots of similar things. Lots of stuff is the same as other stuff.\\
'''Max:''' Can I have my scooter back?\\
'''Johnny:''' [[{{Metaphorgotten}} I forget where I was going with this but the takeaway is your parents don't love each other]].
* ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' establishes that [[SupportingLeader Ben]] and [[TheDragon Jake]] are {{foil}}s to each other in the lead-up to their showdown; both are kind-hearted and only fight when needed, but have a terrifyingly powerful side that comes out when their friends or family are crossed. Ben realises this when they come face-to-face, and thinks to himself that Jake isn't that much different from him.
* Sarah from ''Webcomic/{{Weregeek}}'' recently [[http://www.weregeek.com/2010/05/07/ met]] a pack of non-geek girls and [[http://www.weregeek.com/2010/05/10/ proceeded]] to make a rather disturbing discovery.
* ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'': Arachne has a [[http://yafgc.net/comic/0045-blurring-aligns/ rather dim view on "good" folk]].
-->'''Arachne:''' Sweetheart... in this world, the difference between Good and Evil is that good pretends not to enjoy this sort of thing.

** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0606.html Later on]], Shojo gives Belkar this line, kicking off what's effectively a ChaoticGood BreakThemByTalking. Of course, in the same sentence, he also adds that they are NotSoSimilar, but adds that such distinctions aren't necessary at the moment.
** When Elan finally realizes that his father is Evil, he declares that he's no better than his EvilTwin Nale. Tarquin takes offense, deriding Nale as an egomaniac more interested in being the center of attention than a functioning plan for world domination. But as the arc goes on, Tarquin proves to be no different; he continues to antagonize the Order because he wants to be main villain in an traditional hero-son vs villain-father story, which he thinks only works if Elan is the leader, which means Roy and others who could overshadow him must die. He wastes time, manpower and personal favors pursuing this goal, showing himself to be more concerned with being the center of attention than his long-time goal of taking control of the continent.
* In ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' fancomic ''Webcomic/AntiHeroes'', Finx attempts a NotSoDifferentRemark when facing down Aldran. Aldran responds by {{deconstruct|edTrope}}ing it before declaring ''[[http://www.antiheroescomic.com/comic/71 I'll still win]]''.
* ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'': [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1451#comic Strip 1451]] demonstrates the underutilized tactic of trying this on God.
--> '''God''': "What about all those children you killed?"\\
'''Guy''': "They were all firstborn sons of Egyptians."
* ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'' There is a strange variation in [[http://www.sinfest.net/archive_page.php?comicID=3519 this]] strip, where Fuchsia, formerly a DepravedBisexual succubus and TortureTechnician for The Devil, in the midst of a VillainousCrush and a HighHeelFaceTurn, listens to her love interest, Criminy, relate a story that could very easily be about Sinfest's main character, Slick, and comes to realize that she has a lot in common with the Damned Souls that she formerly took delight in tormenting. Her response, is to sit with the Damned and hold their hands, offering them comfort.
* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' has a rare example where all the people involved are good guys (or at least [[DesignatedHero Designated Good Guys]]). MadScientist and BadassLongcoat Riff has always taken the view that Aylee, an originally [[ImAHumanitarian man-eating]] alien is too big of a threat to the world to be allowed to live. Eventually Torg [[http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=070918 delivers the NotSoDifferentRemark on Aylee's behalf]]:
-->'''Torg:''' We're her ''family'', Riff. This is her ''home'' now. She's not going to destroy it anymore than you would ... with your various nuclear isotopes and biological pathogens ... OK, bad example. Actually, it's ''not!'' Riff, with all your dangerous scientific experiments, I put it to you that Aylee is ''less'' likely to threaten humanity than you!
* ''Webcomic/StrongFemaleProtagonist'' has a hero [[http://strongfemaleprotagonist.com/issue-3/page-75/ deliver one of these]] ending with "So if I've got a voice in my head that tells me to crush people, then I think you probably have the voice that says the other thing too."
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': [[SmugSnake Kim]] [[ArcVillain Lurker]] sees the parallels between him and TheHero [[HotBlooded Ja Wangnan]]. They both [[spoiler: had their dreams toyed with and both have sacrificed a lot of people to get where they are]]. Ja is shocked and admits the similarity, but this immediately leads to his showing how they are also different, as he shows mercy to Lurker, who'd just [[spoiler: brutally killed his friend for not much reason.]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Paranatural}}'': PlayedForLaughs [[http://www.paranatural.net/comic/chapter-3-page-22 here]] when Johnny goes on a [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext more bizarre rant than usual]] to [[WeNeedADistraction distract Max long enough to steal his bat]].
-->'''Johnny:''' Listen, we're not so different, you n' me. Like, our faces are very similar.\\
'''Max:''' I'm kind of on the phone, so...\\
'''Johnny:''' Point is, Max, we live in a world with lots of similar things. Lots of stuff is the same as other stuff.\\
'''Max:''' Can I have my scooter back?\\
'''Johnny:''' [[{{Metaphorgotten}} I forget where I was going with this but the takeaway is your parents don't love each other]].
* ''Webcomic/WeakHero'' establishes that [[SupportingLeader Ben]] and [[TheDragon Jake]] are {{foil}}s to each other in the lead-up to their showdown; both are kind-hearted and only fight when needed, but have a terrifyingly powerful side that comes out when their friends or family are crossed. Ben realises this when they come face-to-face, and thinks to himself that Jake isn't that much different from him.
* Sarah from ''Webcomic/{{Weregeek}}'' recently [[http://www.weregeek.com/2010/05/07/ met]] a pack of non-geek girls and [[http://www.weregeek.com/2010/05/10/ proceeded]] to make a rather disturbing discovery.
* ''Webcomic/YetAnotherFantasyGamerComic'': Arachne has a [[http://yafgc.net/comic/0045-blurring-aligns/ rather dim view on "good" folk]].
-->'''Arachne:''' Sweetheart... in this world, the difference between Good and Evil is that good pretends not to enjoy this sort of thing.
