* [[Image Macro]]s typically use chatspeak captions (partly for comic effect, partly to minimize blocking of the image).
** The Orlies from ''[[Erfworld]]'' are a parody of the (in)famous O RLY owl Image Macro. They talk in snippets of chatspeak (e.g. one says "OMGWTFBBQ" as it's roasted by a [[Phantasy Spelling|dwagon]]).
* And then you get things like [https://web.archive.org/web/20130304224313/http://lolcode.com/ LOLCODE], a (working!) programming language based on [[Memetic Mutation|lolcat]]-based leetspeak.

** There's even a claim that l337speak entered the mainstream when he was introduced on [http://www.megatokyo.com/strip/9 strip #9], the most famous strip of the entire comic.
*** The whole scene parodies the "Jive-Talk" scene from the movie ''[[Airplane!]]''.
* A mad, tire-stealing caper in [[RH Junior]]'s ''[[Tallyho]]'' features a carload of zoo animals, all of whom speak in [[Leet Speak]] [[Memetic Mutation|Internet memes]]. The impressive thing about this is that a large number of them speak in ''species-appropriate'' Internet
