* A relentless [[Hurricane of Puns]] and a bizarre array of [[Everything Trying to Kill You|Everything Trying To]] <s>Kill You</s> [[Insistent Terminology|Beat You Up]] make up only a fraction of the silliness in the [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]''.
* [[Conker's Bad Fur Day|Conker]]. To explain, antics such as producing toilet paper from [[Hammerspace]] when fighting a giant singing poo, and drinking from a conveniently placed keg in order to defeat fire imps with yellow rain. Or as the game puts it, the 'Context Sensitive Area'.
* ''[[Atelier (franchise)|Atelier]]'' are lighthearted in general, but the ''[[Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis|Mana]] [[Mana-Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy|Khemia]]'' and DS games (''Liese'', ''[[Atelier Annie|Annie]]'', and ''Lina'') are practically made of this trope.

** A [http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=991121 Cannibals' Anonymous] support group includes a pair of zombies, an alien, and a miniature wooly mammoth clone.
** A [http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=970912 small bunny] can [[Hammerspace|produce a switchblade from nowhere]] and proceed to [http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=970914 beat up a grizzly bear].
** Brief references to the French Revolution or Oprah's Book of the Month club can [https://web.archive.org/web/20141017231824/http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=060412 instantly put people to sleep].
** This quote should be at the top of the page:
{{quote|{{spoiler|Dr Schlock: I'll be brief.}}
Line 202:
* A [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade is hung on it]] in ''[[Nodwick]]'', when [https://web.archive.org/web/20100819081338/http://nodwick.humor.gamespy.com/gamespyarchive/index.php?date=2002-06-13 Nodwick is asked to lift a five-ton obelisk].
* Apparently ''[[Dominic Deegan|Donovan Deegan]]'' has been {{spoiler|1=[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2010-01-12 pretending to suck at orcish]}} ''for over twenty years'' purely because of [[Invoked Trope|this]] [[Lampshade Hanging|trope]]!
** According to [[Word of God]] the entire Wild Edges functions on [https://web.archive.org/web/20140717185305/http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2010-07-01 this rule.]
* In ''[[Girl Genius]]'', Violetta is able to swap a hostage for a matching dummy of him, while the hostage is being physically held by his captor, while Violetta is physically separated from and arguing with said captor, with no explanation of where that dummy might possibly have come from. Just that she [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100226 specializes in misdirection and sleight of hand].
** Also, there's the usual: mad science. Smoke Knights have [[Invisibility Cloak|invisibility devices]] both personal and for airships. Tweedle's Night Master popped in and out of sight in the course of a fight (which may or may not be why he had both eyes replaced with implants). Before that, Violetta [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150410 tried to use invisibility] to sneak in when DuPree and Zeetha talked. It's imperfect, however — Bang was able to pinpoint both of them. And isn't sufficient to pull most of their decoy-swapping tricks.
* ''[[Electric Wonderland]]'' personifies the Rule of Funny in Aerynn Arlia, a Magical Girl with no apparent limits. Aerynn can literally do anything at any time, as long as it's amusing — usually with [[Butt Monkey]] NJ as the victim.
* ''[[Shortpacked!]]''. How, exactly, did Galasso manage to resurrect [[Ronald Reagan]]?
Line 211 ⟶ 212:
* In ''[[El Goonish Shive]]'', [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-08-20 Why else would] [http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook/?date=2010-07-06 THIS happen]?
* Although there's a lot of Rule of Funny going on in ''[[Touhou Nekokayou]]'', one scene sticks out to me. Why use a giant laser, Marisa, when you can {{spoiler|1=[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/?p=csa01marisa0585 use a giant pie?] }}
