* T-Rex From ''[[Dinosaur Comics]]'' does this a lot, such as describing literary or logical techniques in textbook levels of detail then describing them as "awesome". When discussing logic:

{{quote| '''T-Rex:''' For example, "T-Rex is a pretty sweet dude because he's always so friggin' awesome!" This is actually formally valid: If the premise is true and I'm friggin' awesome, then it follows that I'm a pretty sweet dude. However, I've provided no logical support for my "T-Rex is awesome" premise, but only made a conclusion (T-Rex = pretty sweet) which relies on the premise being true.}}

* The authors of ''[[Holy Bibble]]'' do the same thing in [[The Rant]] occasionally. For example, [[The Ditz|Cannan]] explains ''Correlation does not imply causation'' using his [[Leet Lingo|skillz with teh ladiez]] [http://holybibble.net/latest.php?id=211 here.] The resulting effect is like if [[Irregular Webcomic|David Morgan-Marr]] had spent his formative years perusing internet forums.

* This is the default method of speech for any instalment of ''[[MS Paint Adventures]]''; ''[[Problem Sleuth]]'' loved to intersperse its fluid and verbose narration with abrupt switches to badass one-liners. ''[[Homestuck (Webcomic)|Homestuck]]'' then took this trope and refined it into something of a high art form.
