Line 10:
** Haley and Crystal's deadly feud started over a catty conversation where they each insulted the other's hair and boots respectively.
** When Roy and Xykon first meet, Xykon comments on Roy's motivation for killing him;
{{quote| So, let me get this straight. Your father spent his entire life looking for me over [[But for Me It Was Tuesday|a largely inconsequential killing?]]...And he was too much of a loser to get the job done before croaking, so now you, [["Well Done, Son" Guy|Loser Jr.,]] have taken up the task?...Y'know, I've destroyed entire towns and the most I got from the surviving families were a few snarky comments. You, sir, have a serious problem with overreaction.}}
*** Then again, Roy's motivation for going after Xykon is not so much the Blood Oath but the fact that Xykon is a very dangerous [[Complete Monster]] whose actions threaten the lives of many innocents.
* ''[[Xkcd (Webcomic)|Xkcd]]'' had [http://www.xkcd.com/396/ this strip], where one character's response to [[Memetic Mutation|getting Rickrolled]] is to upload the cursed video from ''[[The Ring]]'' to [[YouTube]], where it's viewed by hundreds of thousands of people.

** There's also [http://www.xkcd.com/169/ this].
** Then there's [http://www.xkcd.com/377/ this], which BHG responds to by doing [http://www.xkcd.com/405/ this].
* [[Eight 8-Bit Theater (Webcomic)|Sarda]]'s [http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/01/31/episode-1089-special-delivery/ revenge on Ranger] for having the audacity to draw [[Beyond the Impossible|quad-wielded bows]]: {{spoiler|all the arrows are magically delivered to Ranger's unsuspecting wife}}. Difficult to say whether this event should also be considered [[Crossing the Line Twice]] or [[Laser -Guided Karma]], being as [[More Dakka|the outrageous number of arrows]] were flying toward [[Infant Immortality|an innocent child]] at the time.
** He wasn't aiming for the kid, though. Sarda just moved out of the way.
** As it turns out, his behavior towards the Light Warriors (except for Fighter) is entirely justified: {{spoiler|He's the Onion Kid.}}
Line 55:
* Angelo ''blows an underling to [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|atoms]]'' for criticizing Brian's meeting plans in [http://danielscreations.com/ola/comics/ep0113.html this comic] of ''[[Our Little Adventure]]''. Brian was a bit upset over it, but got over it quickly.
* ''[[Fruit Incest]]'' features an ancient dragon capable of summoning giant stormclouds employed by the police to retrieve a stolen cash register.
* This is how [[Drive (Webcomic)|La Familia]] protect the secret of the [[Applied Phlebotinum|Ring Drive]]. [[Mega Corp]] steals a ship? Send half an armada to destroy their shipyards until they give it back. They try it again later? Raze their HQ. Two officers lock themselves inside the drive? Order the captain of the ship to fly it into a star. Thieves steal the plans? Eject them into space. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Naked]].
* In ''[[Superosity]]'', Jork's rival Hayseed faked the death of Jork's wife and wiped her memory...because Jork once insulted Hayseed's favorite tie. A tie which read "Jork Sucks".
* ''[[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal]]'' [[Invoked Trope|invokes this trope]], [http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2404 leaving a great impact on crime crates in Metropolis.]
