** I added a bit.  Does that help clarify? Of course, one of the hallmarks of self-reference is that clarity tends to be lost. [[User:Blaisepascal|Blaisepascal]] ([[User talk:Blaisepascal|talk]]) 14:44, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
 
What if I don't find this humorous, then he's not squeezing humor! --[[Special:Contributions/199.27.128.172|199.27.128.172]] 00:09, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
 
:But wouldn't it still be squeezing if he tried? That would mean that whenever he tries, he succeeds. [[User:Fabian42|Fabian42]] ([[User talk:Fabian42|talk]]) 08:08, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
 
 
But the most famous use of self reference is, of course, the sentence (this) where explainxkcd explained the sentence where explainxkcd explained xkcd's self reference of its own self reference.--[[User:TheTimeBandit|TheTimeBandit]] ([[User talk:TheTimeBandit|talk]]) 21:54, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
 
 
Actually, it would be funny without the last panel, just more subtle. — [[User:Kazvorpal|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal|talk]]) 01:18, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
