* A [[Batman]] comic has Bruce Wayne sequestered to sit on the jury of a man he arrested as Batman trying to kidnap a baby. The prosecuting counsel asks whether there is any reason why he should not sit on this jury. Bruce calmly admits he's prejudiced in the case because he's Batman (hey, he's under oath). After everyone's stopped laughing, the judge tells him to stop screwing around and take things seriously.
* In Kyle Baker’s ''You Are Here'' the main villain manage to serve only a year for murdering his wife due to "A good lawyer, bad evidence, worse cops and prison overpopulation" and then goes on to publish a book called "Yes I Did It and I'll Kill Again."

If you haven't heard of it... well, let's just say it starts out ''sorta'' [[Ecchi]] and then becomes ''really'' [[Ecchi]], with the [[All There in the Manual|nominally]] adult female characters drawn to look standard loli age if not ''younger.'' [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|White viscous fluids]] and other completely unsubtle sexual imagery are thrown at the reader machine-gun style, in a way that's so over the top that it [[Fan Disservice|stops being]] [[Fetish Fuel]]. They don't ''make'' [[Brain Bleach]] strong enough to erase this. The creator [[Word of God|has actually said]] that he'd wanted to make people's jaws drop.
