*** Rorschach ambushing Moloch by popping out of his fridge was so ridiculous it crossed from hilarious back over into [[Crazy Awesome]]. Especially [[Narm|narmy]] if you think about the time it must have taken for Rorschach to move all the stuff inside the fridge and hide them in Moloch's kitchen and how many things could have gone wrong in the plan.

* ''[[The Walking Dead]]'': The Governor, riding on a tank, wearing a weird outfit {{spoiler|and an eyepatch, and only one arm}}, shouting "KILL THEM ALL!" is very jarring against the general tone of the series.

* An [[Author Tract]] in ''Phonogram'' about women [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]] in music was delivered by a goddess who used the word "indie" like an ethnic slur. It generally fell into [[What Do You Mean Its Not Awesome]] territory, and peaked with this phrase:

* Many things operating under the [[Grandfather Clause]] can count for uninitiated readers. For instance, the Marvels' transformation phrase. Sure, it's cool and dramatic; and it works for readers familiar with it. But in the end, they're shouting 'Shazam!' at the top of their lungs.

* The zombie!Doctor Light progressively tearing off the current Doctor Light's costume during their battle in ''[[Blackest Night]]''. She's supposed to be in danger of getting raped and then eaten. But some genius went to the trouble of putting [[Fan Service]] in the scene. This is so funny on the meta level that it kills the mood.

* In the 1970s ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|The Avengers]]'' had a now-obscure villain called [[Fail O'Suckyname|Egghead]] ([[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|his head was shaped like an egg]]) who sat plotting in his lair and exclaimed, "''It's not fair! All I ever wanted to do was rule the world! Is that so much to ask?''". He then reflects on how he's not getting any younger and doesn't have many years left to take over. It's not a [[Villainous Breakdown]], it's a Villainous Mid-Life Crisis.
