Narm/Comic Books: Difference between revisions

** During the whole mini-arc with the Green Lantern families being attacked by the Sinestro Corps, Kryb, their kidnapping specialist, keeps the [[Nightmare Fuel]] pumping. Except there is one thing which, admittedly, only applies to a certain sort of reader. The problem in question? One of the babies being taken away screams, "[[Warhammer 40 K|WAAAGH!!]]". Cue moment of "Oh God Why Am I Laughing?".

*** Some of the impact of Alan Moore's "Tygers" is blunted by the over-the-top designs of the demons. Even more narmy, though, is found in the famous page that spells out the end of the Green Lantern Corp. There's a panel of all the Guardian's enemies: demons, a giant city, Qwardians... and a random, nearly-bald goth chick with a teddy-bear sized polar bear on a leash. What?

* ''[[Watchmen]]'' [[Discussed Trope|discusses one in-story]], in ''Under The Hood''. The original Nite Owl recalls a coworker experiencing a great personal tragedy while wearing a massive pair of fake breasts and listening to "Ride of the Valkyries". It induces the group to fits of laughter, and then the man [[Driven to Suicide|kills himself]]. Hollis later cites it as 'the saddest thing he can think of'.

** Some of Rorschach's narration, especially in the first chapter, can be a little ridiculously over-the-top, like when, out-of-nowhere, he starts suspecting random people of being gay and/or child pornographers.
