Line 719:
* The English title of ''[[Touhou Nekokayou]]'' is "Scarlet Weather Archive in Japanese Red." This is taken from the [[Touhou]] canon [[Gaiden Game|Gaiden]] [[Fighting Game]] ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody'' and the [[All There in the Manual|book]] ''Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red.'' {{spoiler|Then someone noticed what the ''other'' halves of the names make.}}
** Near the end of ''[[Interactive Comic|Create.swf Adventures]]: Shenanigans in a Magical Forest'', it's revealed that all of the "player" characters have their own individual "Hax Sign" spellcard. As {{spoiler|Yasora's}} spellcards begin to wind down, everyone except Marisa uses their respective Hax Sign spellcard, with a fair amount of success. Cue the final sequence, where Marisa's all ready to bust out her long-awaited Hax Sign: {{spoiler|Sepiechritude (a shout out to [[Problem Sleuth]]'s Sepulchritude}}, which everyone assumes to be a huge [[Beam Spam|beam attack]] or something of the sort, as per Marisa's trademarks. Then someone noticed {{spoiler|the "[[Brick Joke|pie]]" in "[[Rule of Funny|Sepiechritude]]..."}}
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130121001652/http://www.treelobsters.com/2009/08/75-but-wait-theres-more.html This] ''Tree Lobsters'' has a clever one. On its, the comic works as a relatively straightforward parody of infomercials. Look closely at the description on panel 3, though, then look up elements 11 and 17 on the periodic table. {{spoiler|Sodium and Chloride, respectively. In other words, [[Don't Explain the Joke|it's a grain of salt]].}}
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130530040008/http://downthestairs.thecomicseries.com/comics/21 This] ''[[Down the Stairs]]'' comic {{spoiler|shows a growing lightbulb. The pun is that it is growing from a "bulb", like a plant.}}
* One example in ''[[The Fuzzy Five]]'' is the abbreviation of the name of the fictional "Ominous Mountain State University" as "OMSU and U".
