* Done intentionally in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'', Calvin begs his mother:
{{quote|
'''Mom:''' No, Calvin.
'''Calvin:''' Can I ride my tricycle on the roof?
'''Mom:''' No, Calvin.
'''Calvin:''' Then can I have a cookie? }}
{{quote|
* Bluff called in ''[[FoxTrot]]'':
{{quote|
'''Jason:''' But...but...
'''Andy:''' You're too young for this sort of thing. I mean, look at what it teaches: that human disembowelment is entertainment...that "winners" decapitate their enemies...that carnage is spelled with a "K"...
'''Jason:''' [[I Take Offense to That Last One|I know carnage isn't spelled with a "K".]]
'''Andy:''' The sad part is, that's the least of my concerns. }}
:* Also, in a strip released on March 30th of 2023, Roger has to dispose of some old chemicals by taking them to the hazardous waste center - paint, weed killer, furniture stripper, insecticide, motor oil, and his leftover Superbowl clam dip. Even chemisty-nerd Jason is grossed out by that last one.
* In ''[[Zits]]'', there was a variation. Jeremy's mother says there's something she wants to talk to him about. He then [[Deadpan Snarker|deadpans]] several wild guesses, including "You're having a sex change?" and "You and dad are cousins?" She gets increasingly frustrated and finally yells out, "No! We're changing salsa brands!" "...WHAT??"
* In ''[[The Far Side]]'', there was one where it showed the Devil in hell leading people into 3 different doors. Door #1 had a sign on it that said "Murderers". Door #2 had a sign saying "Kidnappers". Door #3 had a sign saying "People who drive slow in the fast lane."
* In [https://web.archive.org/web/20100822133251/http://comics.com/candorville/2009-12-03/ one] ''[[Candorville]]'' strip, a psychologist is talking about his experiences with gangs: "I thought I knew the evils of gangs. Drive-bys, carjackings, garish bandanas..."
* From the title character of ''[[Garfield]]'': "Well, King Kong is on the roof batting down airplanes. The entire planet is being ravaged by brain-eating aliens... but more important, my dish is empty."
** Another example:
{{quote|
Garfield: I'll survive
Jon: Odie chewed up your scratching post
Garfield: Big deal
Jon: And Frank left Marcia for Stephanie
Garfield: How could he?! }}
* ''[[Peanuts]]'':
* In ''Drabble'', Norman has to explain to his father Ralph (a mall cop) why he got arrested at the mall.▼
** In one series of strips, Marcie became obsessed with getting baseball caps for Peppermint Patty's team, and she started to get rather annoying:
{{quote| '''Norman:''' I went snorkeling in the fountain.<br />▼
{{quote|'''Marcie''' ''(Playing right field): Babe Ruth had a cap! Willie Mays had a cap! Ted Williams had a cap! Maury Wills had a cap! Mickey Mantle had a cap!
'''Ralph:''' That's not so bad.<br />▼
'''Peppermint Patty''' ''(From pitcher's mound): '''MARCIE, WILL YOU SHUT UP?!?'''
'''Norman:''' And I jumped up and down on all the beds in the mattress store.<br />▼
'''
:* In one strip, Lucy is yelling at Charlie Brown, who is walking ahead of her:
'''Norman:''' And I rode the escalator without holding the handrail!<br />▼
{{quote|'''Lucy:''' You blockhead, Charlie Brown! Numbskull! Dimwit! Dummy! ''(Beat Panel)'' Smartyboots!
'''Charlie Brown:''' ''Smartyboots??''}}
:* In another series of strips, Snoopy is pretending he's an astronaut flying to the moon. When he gets there, he excitedly proclaims, "I beat the Russians, I beat everybody! I even beat that stupid cat who lives next door!"
▲* In ''[[Drabble]]'', Norman has to explain to his father Ralph (a mall cop) why he got arrested at the mall.
'''Ralph:''' A minor infraction.
'''Ralph:''' Whoa! Now you're looking at hard time! }}
* In "[[Over the Hedge (comic strip)|Over the Hedge]]", RJ upset the balance of nature by making Verne popular. And then the Nature Police show up.
{{quote|
'''RJ:''' What for?
'''Nature Police:''' Tampering with a loser, humiliation without a license...and jaywalking.
'''RJ:''' Jaywalking!? I was Edgar Allen Poe for Halloween...He was my pet raven! }}
