Line 8:
* Inverted in ''[[Looking for Group]]''; Richard (a card-carrying 'joyfully and creatively [[Chaotic Evil]]' character' with centuries of continuous evil) get a 'what the hell antihero' reaction from hell because by killing/burning an entire village he ACCIDENTALLY did some potential good to the future of the region. This is the only part where we see Richard having a conscience (only he's guilty of doing GOOD)
** Played straight with Cale calling out Pella for {{spoiler|forcing the Gnomes to join Kethenecia by destroying their last line of defense.}} To be fair, after talking about the incident with Benny, he seems to be more disappointed with her than angry.
** Also played straight recently, with Cale {{spoiler|grabbing Maikos and using him as a human shield when being shot at by an archer... TWICE. In his defense, Maikos and the other people from his village have been established as undead and therefore both incapable of dying and practically immune to pain; the reason it's a [[What the Hell, Hero?]] moment is because Maikos told Cale that his people were becoming mortal again just before this event came up.}}
* In ''[[The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (Webcomic)|The Adventures of Dr. McNinja]]'', the Doctor gets chewed out for his [[Technical Pacifist|Technical Pacifism]] by [[What Measure Is a Mook?|the mother of one of the mooks he killed]]. [[Broken Aesop|Although she does do it while he's burying the mentor whom said mook helped murder to get at him]]....
** Doc also beats himself up emotionally in private, particularly when the ninjas he killed rise from the dead with no medical explanation and no obvious purpose except to get revenge on him. His guilt in the zombie ninja incident is assuaged, however, when it's hilariously subverted at the end of the story.
** Gordito delivers a particularly thorough one [http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=44&issue=15 here].
Line 36:
** Soon afterward, {{spoiler|Bubblegum}} gets called out for having a [[Heroic BSOD]] and leaving combat after {{spoiler|seeing Loser die and her blood on the cockpit window}}
** Earlier on, Hammer (rightfully) dresses down Kid for not taking a clear shot on an enemy fighter that had a lock on Bubblegum. If Quetz hadn't made a near-impossible shot to take her down, Bubblegum probably would have died. This also marks a turning point in their relationship as a case in which Hammer is required to discipline Kid, thus raising the question of whether they can be friends (or perhaps [[Les Yay|something]] [[Cannot Spit It Out|more]]) as well as squad leader and subordinate.
* The Light Warriors in [[
** {{spoiler|Finally paid off, now that the 'hero' who defeated Chaos is WHITE MAGE and some others. Oh, and she had the villains be called the Light Warriors. The villains of the game are more heroic than them!}}
* Towards the end of Book 1 in ''[[Erfworld]]'', Parson subtlety called out Maggie for {{spoiler|indirectly causing the death of Misty.}} He then acknowledges that {{spoiler|since he just defeated the enemy in [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|a particulary horrific manner]], he's not one to talk.}}
* What's the best way to start [[Divide and Conquer]] strategy? [[The Crossoverlord (Webcomic)|The Crossoverlord]] says: Tell [[The Cape]] about [[The Smart Guy|The Smart Girl's]] [[Shoot the Dog]] moment and watch him giving her [[What the Hell, Hero?]] speech.
* ''[[Girl Genius]]'': [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20050114 Third panel:] "Pretty cold, after the girl ''saved'' you." Of all the people to be called out by ... ''[[Psycho for Hire|Bangladesh Dupree?!]]''
* In ''[[General Protection Fault]]'', the cast is not very pleased with Fred's using his newfound control ability to possess Trent and force him to sexually harass Sharon, strip naked and run around calling himself Wiley Wombat, which caused him to get arrested.
Line 53:
* In ''[[Kevin and Kell]]'', it's revealed that Rudy never sent Kevin and Kell's marriage papers as a bill banning interspecies marriage is up for voting, which would also threaten their marriage. Rudy claims he was bitter about Kevin becoming alpha male, and didn’t think there would be any consequences, and Lindesfarne notes that now all interspecies marriages are at risk, with the potential slippery slope to eventually prevent him from marrying Fiona.
* Igor of ''[[Dork Tower]]'' combines this with [[No Fourth Wall]] in [http://www.dorktower.com/2006/11/17/comics-archive-858/ an epic rant against New Line Cinema.]
* Stein of ''[[Frankie and Stein]]'' gets a good one [http://frankieandstein.com/2012/02/29/page-40/ here] after {{spoiler|creating his [[
