** In one strip, Charlie Brown gets ''so'' mad when the Kite-Eating Tree grabs his kite that he shouts, "If you don't let go of that kite, I'll kick you in the stomach!" Then he ''does'', and quickly finds out, [[Agony of the Feet|"These Kite-Eating trees have hard stomachs..."]]
** In another, Lucy is wondering if she'd be more popular if she had a different name, and is wondering what a better name might be. Linus cheekily suggests "Supermouth". Lucy naturally slugs him, and Linus moans to himself, "I've got to stop this business of talking without thinking..."

''(Beat panel as Lucy slugs him a good one.)''
'''Linus:''' Another thing I don't understand is why I ask things like that...}}
* In a ''[[Zits]]'' strip, Jeremy's parents buy a "teen tracker" app, forgetting, apparently, that they don't know jack about how to use apps, and have to ask Jeremy to activate it.
* In ''[[FoxTrot]]'', most of Jason's attempts to prank, troll, or annoy Paige turn out like this, starting with [https://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/1988/04/19 a strip in the second week of the comic], no less. Jason never seems to figure out that his older sister [[Bullying a Dragon|is much stronger than he is]] and has a rotten temper.
