Line 82:
** [http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0318.html Followed by an onslaught of beat panels.]
* ''[[Death to the Extremist]]'' uses this ''constantly.'' Often taken [[Up to Eleven]] with comics like [https://web.archive.org/web/20130914024458/http://dtecomic.com/?n=3 this].
* ''[[Dystopia (video game)|Dystopia]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20130603173150/http://www.dystopia-game.com/wiki/index.php?title=Avv%27s_Comics_-_Miswired demonstrates Medium's new reflex upgrades].
* Happens rather frequently in ''[[8-Bit Theater|Eight Bit Theater]]''. A prime example is [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/01/06/episode-1079-verbal-flanking/ here].
* ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'' uses this when Grace explains [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2002-07-08 the plan] to cure Elliot of his [[Gender Bender|problem]].
Line 90:
** Gary: "Oh, I'm terribly sorry! I didn't mean to be rude, it's just I used to think you didn't want to go on a second date with me because I was too geeky." 'beat panel' Nanase: "Yes, it was entirely because I was a lesbian" Gary:"Phew! Well, ain't that a boost for my fragile ego!"
* ''[http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com Flying Man and Friends]'' alternates between having the beat panel at [https://web.archive.org/web/20110822203033/http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=171 the end of the strip] and having it [https://web.archive.org/web/20110827131127/http://www.flyingmanandfriends.com/?p=240 somewhere in the middle].
* ''[[Folly and Innovation]]'' does this [https://web.archive.org/web/20121215114728/http://follyandinnovation.com/2010/04/o-holy-night-batman/ on occasion]
* ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20200313130906/http://www.agameoffools.com/ A Game of Fools]'' uses them quite a bit.
* Likewise, ''[[Garfield Minus Garfield]]'' seems to thrive on the beat panel.
Line 100:
'''Gil''': No, neither would my father.
'''Vole''':...not unless she danced nekked through de ruins vile trying to shoot down de moon, turned all de tourists into monsters--and den built a very dangerous fountain out of sausages.
'''Gil''': [[Refuge in Audacity|Well... yes, that goes without saying.]] }}
* ''[[Goblins]]'' does this sometimes. The best example is probably Minmax [http://www.goblinscomic.com/03032010/ here].
Line 113:
** [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1840.html A recent strip] has a [[News Post]] in which Morgan-Mar explains that he tried to avoid it (putting the silent panel earlier), but it just wasn't funny.
** [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1926.html Another one does three]- and a [[Lampshade Hanging]]. [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1934.html The "Shakespeare" strip after that] is entirely Beat Panels, possibly going for [[Overly Long Gag]].
** Inverted [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1950.html here], with the
** Dare I suggest that [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/2168.html here], he's going for an entire beat
* [[Matt Groening]]'s ''[[Life in Hell]]'' uses these quite a lot, especially in the strips featuring Akbar and Jeff. [https://web.archive.org/web/20151018182353/http://yourfaceisanadvert.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/jeff-and-akbar11.jpg Here] is a typical example.

Line 123:
* The readers of ''[[Narbonic]]'' refer to this as the "Silent Penultimate Panel". [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic_plus/series.php?view=archive&chapter=29025 Here's] a double example (fourth strip down).
** this is specifically when the next-to-last panel is the one that is the Beat Panel. Done often enough that one of the regular readers of ''[[Narbonic]] Director's Cut'' maintains a running total.
* Used often in ''[[The Optimist]]'',as seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20130531162053/http://the-opt.com/?p=25 here], [http://the-opt.com/?p=24 here], [http://the-opt.com/?p=14 here], [http://the-opt.com/?p=12 here], [http://the-opt.com/?p=7 here], [http://the-opt.com/?p=5 here], [http://the-opt.com/?p=942 here], [http://the-opt.com/?p=718 here], [http://the-opt.com/?p=421 here], and a double dose [http://the-opt.com/?p=30 here] and [http://the-opt.com/?p=1314 here].
* ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'':
**
** [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0303.html It seems unlikely].
** Also, "[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0781.html How cute!]"
** [[Discussed]] in "[https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots1248.html More Basic Than Cantrips]":
{{quote|'''Vaarsuvius''': I will have you know there is no skill more foundational to the practice of wizardry through the ages than that of the ominous pause.}}
* There is an absolutely ''epic'' final panel beat in [https://web.archive.org/web/20090321175842/http://www.partiallyclips.com/pclipslite.php?id=1391&c=1 strip this] ''[[Partially Clips]]'' strip.
* [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2001/4/18/ Nice little parody] in ''[[Penny Arcade]]''.
* [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1375 This] Yelling Bird strip from ''[[Questionable Content]]''. ([http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1364 It makes more sense if you read this first])
** Also, [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1280 this one] has two of them, and [[Lampshade Hanging]].
*** And [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1557 this strip], which is a textbook example of how the
* ''[[Realfield]]'' frequently subverts this by removing the punchline altogether. [http://juannavarro.wordpress.com/2007/12/21/realfield-like-lasagna-too/ Trust me, it's funny.]
* ''[[Sequential Art (webcomic)|Sequential Art]]'' has its share of beat panels. Like with [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=334 Kat looking at Art's art] and [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=335 the next comic], [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=465 this] or [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=584 Iron-Pip], [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=593 Art and colleague] or [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=653 this], with poor Kat... And now [http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=681 Art and Pip].
Line 156 ⟶ 160:
* ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]'' has a [http://yafgc.net/?id=471 good one] when [[Monster Adventurers]] [[X Meets Y|meet]] "[[Here There Be Dragons]]".
** [http://yafgc.net/?id=561 King Eric's "OTHER epiphany"] combines it with [[Face Palm|another kind]] of "[[Dope Slap|beat]]" in the same panel.
* ''[[The KAMics]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20120607081932/http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/4771258/ Has] [https://web.archive.org/web/20120607081957/http://www.drunkduck.com/The_KAMics/4772298/ done] [
* ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'' has... uh... [http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2006-10-06/comic/bukawk-eee/oh-thank-gods/ this] (see the previous page for explanation). And a [http://exterminatusnow.co.uk/2008-05-31/comic/mort-to-it-than-zombies/discerning-the-wicked-from-the-pure-of-heart/ beat panel with punchline silent panel].
* ''[[The Extremely Post Modern Adventures of Flint and Hinawa]]'' revolves around having two or even three beat panels between the setup and the usually oddball punchline. This is used to the extreme in [http://local-static1.forum-files.fobby.net/forum_attachments/0023/2741/flintandhinawa6.gif Comic #6], where {{spoiler|the beat just continues right to the end without a punchline.}}
Line 162 ⟶ 166:
** The comic seems fond of the traditional use of this trope as well. It occurs most often when [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/whereitcamefrom/ Monica suddenly realizes something], but [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/all-my-life/ other] [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/whowhatwhere/ characters] [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/sainthood/ aren't] [http://wapsisquare.com/comic/ohigetit/ immune].
* ''[[Miscellaneous Error]]'' uses a beat panel in an early comic.
* ''[[Fans]]''
* ''[[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff]]'' does this all the time [[Stylistic Suck|in a highly exaggerated manner]].
* This webcomic [https://web.archive.org/web/20121203021635/http://mind-numbinglyboringwebcomic.smackjeeves.com/comics/1403290/prologue/] consists entirely of beat panels in the first comic. But what do you expect from a comic called "The Mind-numbingly Boring Webcomic"? It appears to get better and actually funny in the next actual comic, but who knows how it will proceed.
