- Done intentionally in Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin begs his mother:
Calvin: Mom, can I set fire to my bed mattress? |
- In psychology this is called the "door in the face" method of bargaining.
- In an even funnier one, Calvin declared that he wanted to be a radical terrorist and was going to inhale pesticide in order to soften up his mother (who doesn't believe him) before moving in for the kill with "I'm going to watch TV all night!" Unfortunately, it doesn't work. ("That's what you think, buster!")
Calvin: You can never tell if they're listening or not. |
- Bluff called in FoxTrot:
Andy: Jason, I told you two weeks ago that I didn't want Mortal Karnage II coming into this house. You have no one to blame but yourself. |
- In Zits, there was a variation. Jeremy's mother says there's something she wants to talk to him about. He then 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 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 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:
Jon: Garfield I have some bad news, I ran out of your favorite cat food |
- In Drabble, Norman has to explain to his father Ralph (a mall cop) why he got arrested at the mall.
Norman: I went snorkeling in the fountain. |
- In "Over the Hedge", RJ upset the balance of nature by making Verne popular. And then the Nature Police show up.
Nature Police: You're under arrest |
