* Used in [http://megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=234 this] ''[[Megatokyo]]'' strip, when Seraphim insults Asmodeus by saying "My partner's far sexier than you are", and he's still smiling because he thinks he's still up there. Little to his knowledge, the partner is [[Baldur's Gate|Boo]].
* In ''[[Irregular Webcomic]]'', a black market weapons dealer is trying to sell to Serron and Iki Piki. He says that a new weapon is a quantum leap above its predecessors. Iki Piki says that "quantum leap" [[You Keep Using That Word|actually means]] the smallest possible unit of change. When the dealer doesn't understand, Iki Piki says that his brain is obviously a quantum leap above primordial protoplasm. The dealer responds with "flattery will get you nowhere"
* An early ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'' [http://web.archive.org/web/20180329150509/www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2004-01-09 strip] has Luna greet her sister Amelia with a four-sentence greeting, beginning with the letters "S", "L", "U", and "T". Dominic catches and snickers.
* When she needs to find a secret passageway in ''[[Girl Genius]]'', Agatha muses that they just need to “Think like a diabolical, paranoid, amoral megalomaniac.” Cue [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder|Tarvek]] finding it [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20101124 right off the bat].
* ''[[Bobwhite]]''. [http://www.bobwhitecomics.com/?webcomic_post=20090429 Ivy's response to Marlene's film] comes across like she was trying to compliment Marlene but was insulting anyway.
