History Main / ImStandingrightHere

* At one point in ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'', Ryunosuke and Iris investigate Barok van Ziek's office and have multiple humorous conversations about various things there (such as whether or not he uses his wine caskets to [[ItMakesSenseInContext hide his victims' bodies]] or if he had a portrait touched up to be more handsome)... while Barok is standing right there and clearly getting increasingly annoyed with their theorizing.

* One episode of ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'' has Stella bemoan her marriage with Stolas (especially their sex life) to her friends while Stolas is within hearing range and even indirectly calls him pathetic to his face just to piss him off.

* ''Series/YoungSheldon'': In "White Trash, Holy Rollers and Punching People", Coach Wilkins and Principal Petersen are at the bar talking, and the subject changes to George. Camera reveals that George is sitting at the same table as them, and not happy about them ignoring him.

* ''Fanfic/ColosseumOfTheHeart'': [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] gossips with [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY Bonnie]] about how long it will take [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Ash and Serena]] to get together, with the two sitting right in front of them. Serena reacts with embarrassment, while Ash is just [[ObliviousToLove confused]] (though this also quickly turns into embarassment]]. Serena hits her limit when Sora and Bonnie both agree that it will only take them two weeks, yelling "YOU GUYS!" at them.

* ''Machinima/ArbyNTheChief''

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'':

* ''WebVideo/{{Awkward}}'':

* ''Series/WhatWeDoInTheShadows'': Nandor goes off to the documentarians about Guillermo's incompetence, then adds:

* In ''VideoGame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'', in the second half of the mission "Last Hope", Trigger and the LRSSG must escort a liason plane out of Anchorhead Bay, when its attacked by conservative Eruseans. After driving them off the aircraft escorting the liaison plane are revealed to have been self-aware drones, and they attack Strider squadron. Long Caster orders them to engage the drones, and Count calls their creator "the king of all dumbasses", not knowing that Dr. Schroeder, who is aboard the liaison plane, was the one who made them.

* Fairly easy to imagine that this should happen in many games, when the only thing that averts the trope is the game's (or writer's) inability to account for who's around at a given time. For instance, in ''VideoGame/BaldursGate 2'', Phaere wants you (while your party is disguised as drow) to "make an example" of a gnomish patrol. If you have Aerie (or Keldorn) in your party, she will immediately protest that a murderous act like that is ''wrong''. Thank you, Aerie, [[SarcasmMode I had no idea]]... and saying something like that in front of the daughter of a drow matriarch would be suicide if she actually paid attention.
* The Lutece twins in ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' discuss whether or not there's any point in asking Booker to help row the boat... whilst being within earshot, so that it would be easier to just ask him to help row the boat.
* In ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', Claptap badmouths Sir Hammerlock almost immediately after Hammerlock repairs him.

* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'': ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'' has an instance of this trope similar to above ''Buffy'' example. One episode features a MonsterOfTheWeek that can change from a demonic-looking creature into a [[TastesLikeDiabetes ludicrously adorable baby]], which it uses to charm people. It attempts this move on the Kyoryugers, and ''almost'' seems to get away with it... until [[TheHero Daigo]] just shoots it.

-->'''L:''' Oh, Matsuda's acting stupid again.\\
'''Light:''' Well that's his specialty.\\
'''Matsuda:''' I can hear you, ya'know.

** There's also the instance where Misa is contemplating killing Rem — right in front of Rem.

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'': In the very first episode, Union members Graham and Billy are observing the public demonstration of the AEU's new mobile suit, the Enact. When Billy makes an offhand comment that the Enact is just a cheap knockoff of the Union's Flag with a different exterior design, [[SmallNameBigEgo the pilot]] loudly objects.
-->'''Patrick:''' Hey you! I heard that! ''(comes out of the cockpit)'' What did you just say? Huh‽ Come on!\\
'''Graham:''' ''(amused)'' At least it has good sound pickup.

-->'''Carol Ferris''': Um... Hal's right here.\\
'''Hal Jordan''': He knows that, Carol.

--->'''Supergirl''': Hey. Can I say something? Not that I mind you two talking about me like I'm not here... Well, actually, I do...

(''the boss smiles peacefully'')

* In ''Webcomic/AskWhitePearlAndStevenAlmostAnything'', Pearl and Amethyst argue about having Steven bunk in Amethyst's room, Amethyst comparing it to babysitting while Pearl thinks that it will teach her responsibility, as well as the fact that Steven and Amethyst are similar. This goes on with Steven sitting between them, acting as though he is not even there.
* ''Manga/Evangelion303'': In chapter 11, [[ObstructiveBureaucrat a bunch of senators]] spend several pages grumbling about Gendo Ikari and wondering about his true intentions and goals until Fuyutsuki suggests that they address Commander Ikari directly, [[http://eva303.smackjeeves.com/comics/1740750/012/ since he IS in the same room (and looking pissed off at being ignored)]].
* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'':
** Happens in ''The Hell Butterfly Effect', where during Ichigo's meeting with the 13 Squads, Byakuya is telling Rukia to marry Ichigo. What follows may be the most awesome dialogue example of this trope:
--->'''Byakuya:''' *talking to Rukia* It is for the honor of the Kuchiki household, Rukia. Make sure the boy is aware of the large dowry that you have. Common people can be easily swayed by monetary gain.\\
'''Ichigo:''' I'm less then five feet away from you.\\
'''Byakuya:''' *turns to Ichigo with an indifferent look on his face* Very good. I see that you are able to judge distance.

** From ''FanFic/AllYouNeedIsLove'':

** In ''FanFic/{{Ragnarok}}'' Light and L begin speaking of Mello like he's a highly contagious disease while he's in the room with them.
** In ''FanFic/ThatEpicPlan'' when L and Light are discussing [[ConsultingAConvictedKiller their arrangements for keeping Beyond Birthday]] in front of Beyond and Light suggests that Beyond room with him:

* Happens to Crowley in ''Fanfic/ManchesterLost''. [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer The only demon in a crowd of angels]] ([[BadassFamily Aziraphale's "family"]]), they know he's there and (after deciding not to smite him immediately) instead take to talking about him, [[TransparentCloset his]] [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend boyfriend]], [[EmbarrassingFirstName who]] [[EmbarrassingMiddleName he was]] and [[MyGreatestFailure why he Fell]], and giving him an overall headache. It's a bit of a subversion though, because eventually they ''do'' try to drag him into the conversation: "You know, the reason I'm sitting in the dark is so you ''don't'' talk to me."

* Happens to Light in ''WebVideo/DeathNoteTheAbridgedSeriesKpts4tv'' when [[JerkAss his father]] is negotiating with Mello and knows Light is listening in on the headset-[[spoiler: after Mello kidnaps Sayu]] Mr. Yagami begs Mello to kidnap Light as well:
-->'''Mr. Yagami:''' How about this? I'll give you the death note and [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero you can take my]] ''[[IHaveNoSon other]]'' [[CampGay daughter]] [[PityTheKidnapper for free!]]\\
'''Light:''' [[VisibleSilence ...]] ''(*DeathGlare*)''\\
'''Mello:''' No, no! I don't want that! I just want the death note!\\
'''Mr. Yagami:''' What if I paid you?\\
'''Mello:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! do! not! want! Your! kids!]] Just the death note!
* In the ''WebVideo/ImAMarvelAndImADC'' video ''Film/TheDarkKnight vs. Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}'', the Avengers keep telling Franchise/{{Batman}} things like his movie rebooting after only three films will be pathetic and both sides paint it like their movies are the only blockbuster coming out of Marvel or DC over the summer. All in front of poor Franchise/SpiderMan whom is having that exact same thing happen to him. And after he shouts "Come on guys, I'm standing right here!" they continue to ignore his presence and the fact his film is coming out. [[TheWoobie Poor Spidey]].
* ''WebVideo/UltraFastPony''.
** In "Little Miss Montage":
--->'''Rainbow:''' Uh, guys, we need to find a nice way of telling Rarity these dresses look like ass.\\
'''Rarity:''' You know I can hear you, right?\\
'''Rainbow:''' Nevermind, guys, I think she already heard me say that the dresses look like ass.
** In "Copywrong":
--->'''Twilight:''' Wow, everybody really hates Rainbow Dash, don't they?\\
'''Rarity:''' Yeah, we hate her more than we hate that stupid cow, Twilight Sparkle.\\
'''Twilight:''' But, ''I'm'' Twilight Sparkle!\\
'''Rarity:''' I know.
* In [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/242343/shimmering-sunsets Shimmering Sunsets]] (a crossover between two WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic fanfic verses):
-->Sweetie spoke up. "And Princess Celestia allows that kind of behavior from her representative?"\\
“Oh hay no,” Sunset glared at Trixie. “She’s just so full of herself and thick headed.”\\
“Your Majesty,” Dot spoke up reverently. “She is right there.”\\
“Oh….” Sunset said and looked to Trixie. “You’re thick headed and an idiot.”\\
Trixie didn’t remark back, because she knew she couldn’t.
* ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'' gives us this in the fifth Evil Council Video:
-->'''Dartz:''' [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome I am pwoud...and honowed...to announce that we have thwee new membews.]]\\
'''Raphael:''' (re Zombie Boy) Are they gonna be even lamer than the last one?\\
'''Zombie Boy:''' I'm right here!\\
'''Raphael:''' 'Sup, Lame-o?
* In ''Webcomic/{{Guardian}}'', Wakka kids Chappu about his girlfriend Lulu carrying around a moogle doll--while Lulu is just twenty feet away practicing magic. Her next shot of Thunder topples a tree.
* In ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'', this is Frost's reaction when a noble calls him a brute and implies he's distrustful, while he's still in the room.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/74779/chapters/99516#workskin Harry and Jane]]'':
-->'''Harry:''' Lavinia is not the type to let others fight her battles.\\
'''Jane:''' You have no idea. She's going to make an interesting monarch - that much is certain.\\
'''Lavinia:''' I am standing right here, you know.\\
'''Jane:''' Yes, my little Majesty.
* ''Fanfic/CodeGeassPaladinsOfVoltron'': C.C. says as much when Suzaku tells Lelouch they ''will'' discuss as to who she is.
* ''Fanfic/ForTheGloryOfIrk'': A [[TheFederation Syndicate]] High Council member makes [[FantasticRacism disparaging remarks about the Irkens]], and then halfheartedly makes an exemption for [[spoiler: Tak]], who is a Syndicate member and sitting in on the meeting, when she points out her presence.
* Played for laughs in ''Fanfic/BeyondHeroes: Of Sunshine and Red Lyrium'', when [[VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition Inquisitor]] Bethany Hawke climbs a tree in the Frostback Basin. Dorian chastises her, saying that he doesn't want to have to inform her war council that she fell to her death from a tree.
-->'''Dorian:''' Though I at least would be spared the necessity of informing Varric. That would be considerably more difficult.
-->'''Varric:''' I'm standing right here, you know.
-->'''Dorian:''' Yes, so you are. That was my point.
* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/12027351/chapters/27225003#workskin The Count of Monte Cristo]]'' from ''Fanfic/StartAgain'', Goro and Makoto discuss through a chat app why Haru knows so much about the Metaverse, and why she is going through so much trouble to take her father's heart, despite his corruption and trying to force her into an arranged marriage, with Goro suggesting that her concern for him is from lifelong conditioning. Haru then responds that they're discussing this on their Phantom Thief chat, meaning she can read the entire conversation.

-->'''ComicBook/SpiderGwen:''' ''(disgustedly)'' What a pig.
-->'''ComicBook/SpiderHam:''' I'm ''right'' here.

-->'''Max''': Don't talk to me like I'm not right here!\\
'''Max's mother''': What's he saying?\\
'''Vincent''': He says he's right here, in the room.\\
'''Max's mother''': Why yes, you are!

* Invoked by Willie Scott in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom'', combined with ArentYouGoingToRavishMe.
* There's a scene in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMansChest'' where Gibbs, Ragetti, and Pintel freak out at the sight of the Black Spot on Jack's hand. Jack responds with "My eyesight's as good as ever."
* There's a scene in ''Franchise/StarWars [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Episode I: The Phantom Menace]]'' where Obi-Wan is trying to dissuade Qui-Gon from training the young Anakin Skywalker, repeating the Jedi Council's premonition that "the boy is dangerous". It's a shame that they're walking ''right past Anakin'' as he's arguing this.

* On ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'', Hunter grouses to Director Coulson that he didn't mention their backup is a "killer cyborg" — even as said cyborg is less than ten feet away, piloting the Quinjet.
-->'''Deathlok:''' You know I can hear you from up here.
** In the episode "The Man Behind The Shield", when SHIELD is attacking an enemy base, Simmons wants to chase after a lead on [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Aida]], leading to this wonderful exchange:

* In the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E1BuffyVsDracula}} Buffy vs. Dracula]]", Buffy stakes Dracula, who disintegrates. Everyone leaves. Mist swirls around and Dracula re-forms. Standing just offscreen, Buffy stakes him again.
-->'''Buffy:''' You think I don't watch your movies? You always come back.\\
''[Dracula disintegrates. Mist swirls and coalesces.]''\\
'''Buffy:''' ImStandingRightHere.\\
''[Mist dissipates.]''

--> '''FBI Agent:''' If you're not sleeping with him, why do you keep him around?\\

** In [[Recap/CommunityS2E17IntroToPoliticalScience Intro to Political Science]], Annie, while running for StudentCouncilPresident, promises to balance Greendale's budget by eliminate administrative redundancies, to which the Dean takes offense.
---> '''Dean:''' Okay, I'm in the room.
** In [[Recap/CommunityS3E03CompetitiveEcology Competitive Ecology]], the whole study group, in taking the role of {{Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist}}s, repeatedly insult newcomer ButtMonkey Todd in this manner.

-->'''Alan''': Hi there! Remember me?

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E2TheEndOfTheWorld "The End of the World"]] has it happen to Rose: When the Doctor tells Jabe that he and Rose aren't married, she makes some more guesses, ending in "prostitute?"

** Happens again in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E3ATownCalledMercy "A Town Called Mercy"]]. The Doctor and the Ponds are arguing about what to do with an alien war criminal who's been hiding out in the title town... right in front of said war criminal. He coldly reminds them that he's "still in the room."
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E9Hide "Hide"]], the Doctor explains what wonderful people [[TheEmpath empaths]] are, how compassionate they are, and wanders off talking about how hard it is to be an empath and what a strain it puts on your relationship with everyone else. His companion prompts him to shut up as the empath who he was talking about seems close to tears.
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E1TheMagiciansApprentice "The Magician's Apprentice"]], the Doctor grudgingly acknowledges Davros as his greatest enemy, right in front of the Master, who is not amused.
** ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E12DeathInHeaven "Death in Heaven"]]'' in the middle of Danny's RousingSpeech, he says his orders are not the order of a general (aimed at The Doctor) or the whims of a lunatic:
-->'''Missy''': 'Scuse me?

--->(''Monica is walking away, Ross mutters an insult'')\\

-->'''Brittany:''' Puck's super fine. Finn's cute too.
-->'''Santana:''' Yeah, but he's not hot though.
-->'''Brittany:''' He really isn't.
-->'''Santana:''' And you know what, Brit? I think that dwarf girlfriend of his is dragging down his rep. I mean if he were dating, say, popular pretty girls like us, he would go from dumpy to smokin'.
-->'''Finn:''' Hello? Hey! I'm right here!

-->'''Emmett:''' ''(to [=PJ=])'' Look, I knows he's ''old''!
-->'''Bob:''' [[SarcasmMode A little quieter, guys.]]

* In the ''Series/{{Gotham}}'' episode "Worse Than a Crime", Leslie objects to Jim's plan to [[EnemyMine ally with Penguin]] to bring down [[BigBad Galavan]]:
-->'''Leslie:''' You're on the run from the law. You want to attack the mayor with the help of a depraved sociopath. That's not crazy?\\

--->'''Gordon''': So you're partners with Ed. Why?\\
'''Ed''': I'm right here.\\
'''Lee''': Why not? He wouldn't have been my first choice, but the universe has funny ways.\\
'''Ed''': Still here.

-->'''Ted''': And who was Robin before she was your best friend? Oh, that's right, one of my random skanks.\\
'''Robin''': Hey!\\
'''Lily''': Okay, this particular skank--\\
'''Robin''': Hey!\\
'''Lily''': --worked out, but she's the skanky exception, not the skanky rule.\\
'''Robin''': Hey, I'm crying a little bit here!

* In the ''Friends'' spin-off ''Series/{{Joey}}'', in the second season, Joey realizes he slept with neighbor Alex the night before. As he starts to bang his head against the pillow about it and call it a stupid decision, it zooms out to show that she's still there, and heard the whole thing.

* In one episode of the British panel show ''Series/MockTheWeek'', in the final Scenes We'd Like to See round, the panelists ignored Ed Byrne and kept walking up to the microphone before he could. At one point, Ed Byrne opens his jacket, turns to the audience and yells, "Are I invisible in this fucking jacket?"

---> '''Dara:''' What was that?! What was that?! He's ''in the room''!

-->'''Paul!Observer''': I shall now observe the ungainly peach-colored creature. His humid, fleshy extensions struggle as he attempts to dominate some simple, seemingly purposeless toy. Already a sense of pity overcomes me, and yet I am repelled by my own compassion! Although his biological makeup implies a living thing, I'm certain we will discover him to be but an animated piece of refuse or feces. But I must remain impartial and continue to study even as he mocks everything I hold dear. I hate him, and can take comfort only in my own cool detachment. He looks at me now, and no flicker of comprehension do I discern in his flat and lifeless eyes. I can only pray his tiny spinal column conveys no spot of truth, no splinter of the horrible reality that is his own soul. My god, I pray for his death! As do all things that love rightness and decency!
* Happens to Special Agent Michelle Lee while [=McGee=] and Abbey chat about her relative "hotness" level on ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' ("Shalom", Season 4).

* In one episode of ''Series/{{NUMB3RS}}'', Charlie says the trope name word-for-word when he becomes the subject of an argument between Don and Alan.

* In the US ''Series/{{The Office|US}}'' Employee Transfer, Cornell grad Andy asks Dwight if he thinks he can get into Cornell. Dwight replies, "If someone who can barely outsell Phyllis can get in, I think I can manage." Phyllis is, of course, right beside them.

-->'''Cowley:''' You've included yourself in the list of suspects.
-->'''Stadden:''' Of course. Some of my colleagues thought--still think--it's me.

* ''Series/ScreamQueens2015'': The episode "Dorkus" has Chanel and #3 discussing which horror movie character the disfigured Melanie Dorkus reminds them of. While standing right in front of her.

-->'''Puddy:''' What's going on with you and uh...Vegetable Lasagna?
-->'''Elaine:''' This guy? Oh, he's an idiot. He doesn't mean anything to me.
-->'''"Vegetable Lasagna":''' I can hear you.
* In ''Series/{{Smallville}}'', ''[[CharacterTitle Kara]]'', [[Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} Kara]] insults Chloe by saying she is "[[PunyEarthling just a human]]" condescendingly when she is [[CaptainObvious standing right there]]; Clark defends her by saying [[TheSmartGirl Chloe is smarter than both of them put together]].
* In ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'', Michael Burnham explains some of Saru's species' physiology to Ash Tyler. Saru comments "they especially enjoy being referred to in the third person while present."
* During a rare moment of levity in ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "It's Only A Paper Moon", Nog's friends and family discuss the fact that Nog's [=PTSD=] has him living in Julian's 1950's lounge singer program. They all agree that it could be worse and start listing off Julian's other holosuite programs, with Julian quietly interjecting "hey--" until he gets fed up and shouts "HEY!" when Rom complains about his "stupid Viking program."
** Adding insult to injury, that last one isn't even Julian's. It belongs to Chief O'Brien and even Julian thought it was a bit stupid at first.
* In the first season of ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', this is done as the Emergency Medical Hologram's WhatMeasureIsANonHuman theme. The Doctor forcing patients to address him directly is one of the first in his CharacterDevelopment.

-->'''Nandor:''' I don't like saying this kind of thing in front of him, of course.
-->(''pan out to reveal Guillermo standing in the corner'')
-->'''Nandor:''' Sorry, Guillermo. I don't like saying this kind of thing in front of you.
-->'''Guillermo:''' It's okay, master.
* ''Series/WithoutATrace''. Agents Martin Fitzgerald and Samantha Spade inadvertently begin flirting while discussing a case. Agent Danny Taylor, who is standing between them, promptly gives them a look that's the physical equivalent of this quote.

* ''Series/ZyudenSentaiKyoryuger'' has an instance of this trope similar to above ''Buffy'' example. One episode features a MonsterOfTheWeek that can change from a demonic-looking creature into a [[TastesLikeDiabetes ludicrously adorable baby]], which it uses to charm people. It attempts this move on the Kyoryugers, and ''almost'' seems to get away with it... until [[TheHero Daigo]] just shoots it.
-->'''Daigo:''' You ''do'' realize you changed right in front of me, don't you?\\
'''Debo Kyween:''' [[LampshadeHanging Crap, someone with common sense!]]
* ''Series/SchittsCreek'':
** Johnny is in hot water for putting the expectant father Roland's phone on mute. When Bob is discussing the situation with someone over the phone, Johnny guesses the context:
-->'''Bob: '''I wouldn't say 'snake'... but he sure is slippery!
-->'''Johnny: '''You know, I'm standing right here.
** David and Johnny have agreed to play for opposing baseball teams, but Johnny keeps coaching David to his teammate Roland's chagrin.
-->'''Johnny:''' I'm just helping out my son, Roland. The kid has no idea what he's doing.
-->'''David:''' I can hear you!

-->''...Rude.''

* Creator/TheBBC Radio 4 series about disabled issues ''Does He Take Sugar?'' is titled in sarcastic reference to the way disabled people often find themselves victims of this trope.

--->'''Shepard:''' (''riling up a sick krogan'') You? I said a badass, not a sick scout whining like a quarian with a tummy-ache!\\

--->'''Liara:''' (''to Shepard'') The beacon seems to think you're a Prothean. It must be the Cipher you picked up on Feros years ago!\\

* ''Franchise/DragonAge'' does this too:
** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', if the player character romances Morrigan and then puts Alistair and Leliana in the party, they strike up a conversation about what the hell he sees in her. Leliana points out that he's standing about five feet away... and Alistair brushes it off by saying, "Look, he's not even paying attention." Another time, if Zevran is romancing the Warden, Alistair will ask [[LadyKillerInLove Zevran]] what his intentions towards the Warden are, and Zevran will point out the Warden is in proximity. And then there's this:
--->'''Oghren:''' So, you and the Grey Warden, huh?\\
'''Morrigan:''' I hope you're not referring to Alistair.\\
'''Oghren:''' Him? Does he even like girls?\\
'''Morrigan:''' (''amused'') I believe the matter is still up for debate.\\
'''Alistair:''' I'm right here, you know.
** Also happens when you cure Arl Eamon, and the discussion about the Ferelden throne begins, Teagan mentioning Alistair as an option. If you pick the "Alistair, are you serious?" type of a reply to that, Alistair will protest that he's standing right there.
** If you import a male Human Noble to the ''[[VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening Awakening]]'' expansion, when you meet Nathaniel's sister, she comments on how she found a husband on her own, rather than marrying 'that stuck up Cousland lad father wanted to set me up with.' The reply options are all variations on 'I'm standing not two feet in front of you with a flaming sword of death, you realize.' You do get an apology from her, though.
** This is Leliana's reaction when Alistair questions whether she is too insane to join. Doubly humorous when it turns out she actually is "Princess stabbity, stab kill kill."
** This happens a ''lot'' in party banter in [[VideoGame/DragonAgeII the sequel]]. Most seriously, Sebastian can try to persuade Fenris of the merits of turning in Anders and Merrill to the Templars while one of them is standing right behind them and Hawke (who might well be a rogue mage themselves and/or in a relationship with one of the mages in question) is standing right in front of them.
** [[VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition The third game]] follows suit. For instance, Varric can ask Solas which of the Inquisition's upper ranks is the toughest while one of them (Cassandra) is also in the party. "That doesn't rule you out, Seeker."
* The Lutece twins in ''VideoGame/BioShockInfinite'' discuss whether or not there's any point in asking Booker to help row the boat... whilst being within earshot, so that it would be easier to just ask him to help row the boat.
* [[HeroicMime Gordon Freeman]] of ''VideoGame/HalfLife'' is simply born of this trope.
-->'''Alyx:''' I guess you proved you can handle yourself out there.\\
'''Eli:''' There's nothing Gordon can't handle... with the possible exception of ''you''.\\
'''Alyx:''' Dad, please... (''Eli makes a mocking sound'')\\
(''Gordon is standing less than five meters from them the whole time'')

* Fairly easy to imagine that this should happen in many games, when the only thing that averts the trope is the game's (or writer's) inability to account for who's around at a given time. For instance, in ''VideoGame/BaldursGate 2'', Phaere wants you (while your party is disguised as drow) to "make an example" of a gnomish patrol. If you have Aerie (or Keldorn) in your party, she will immediately protest that a murderous act like that is ''wrong''. Thank you, Aerie, [[SarcasmMode I had no idea]]... and saying something like that in front of the daughter of a drow matriarch would be suicide if she actually paid attention.
* ''VideoGame/TheSimpsonsHitAndRun'' - Bart complains that if he doesn't get the new Bonestorm game, he'll be as uncool as Milhouse. To Milhouse's face.
* A variant about Volke shows up in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance''
-->'''Soren:''' I believe this will be a good opportunity. We will almost certainly have need of this man's talents. He is a dubious character at best, but at least we know his motives: everything begins and ends with gold. He'll be easy to control.\\
'''Ike:''' Soren, he's standing right there.\\
'''Soren:''' I don't think he minds.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'': There are several times that [[LawfulStupid Steiner]] pleads with [[DeliberatelyDistressedDamsel Princess Garnet]] to return to Alexandria, usually referring to [[ChivalrousPervert Zidane]] (who is standing right next to her) as a "kidnapping scoundrel", or some variation, who is trying to use her. At least once, he reacts this way.
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'', characters, even Serah and Noel, often talk about Mog as if he isn't right there. Some of them don't know that he's real, but Serah and Noel know better.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'', Claptap badmouths Sir Hammerlock almost immediately after Hammerlock repairs him.
-->'''Claptrap:''' Minion! Now I've got my eyesight back -- and you're far uglier than I remembered! Time to join up with the Crimson Raiders in Sanctuary! This glacier’s full of nothing but murderers or jerkbags, like that Hammerlock dude!\\
'''Hammerlock:''' I'm standing right here "dude."
* In ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'', [[spoiler:after Tails gets kidnapped by the Deadly 6]]. There's this little exchange between Sonic and [[DeadpanSnarker Orbot]]:
-->'''Orbot:''' [[spoiler:If we don't find your friend]], can I be your sidekick?\\
'''Sonic:''' What? Shut up! What kind of question is that?\\
'''Orbot:''' I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought it might be better to work for you than Eggman.\\
'''Dr. Eggman:''' Hello? I'm sitting right here, you know!\\
'''Sonic:''' Orbot, no matter what happens, [[spoiler:I won't fail again. I will save Tails]].\\
'''Orbot:''' It's stuff like that that makes me want to be your sidekick. Tails is lucky.\\
'''Dr. Eggman:''' Seriously! I'm right here. I can still hear you!
* When Eagle accuses Andy of having attacked Green Earth's territories prior to the events of the first ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars]]'' game, Sami's defense is... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anqDy3o9n6E&t=19m33s less than flattering.]]

--> '''Dedenne:''' I'm glad to have a new member! Plus, Mythical Pokémon are super rare!
--> '''Jirachi:''' Um...you do remember that you've already got one Mythical Pokémon right here? Here I am, flying, right here?
* ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'': During the fifth trial, Yasuhiro is convinced that that chapter's victim is Kyoko... despite the fact that she is standing right across from him. During the debate [[ItMakesAsMuchSenseInContext about whether or not she is a ghost]], one of the white noise statements is [[SarcasmMode "I'm a ghost? Interesting..."]].
* In ''VideoGame/HolyUmbrella'', after completing a FetchQuest with the Emperor Dondera in your party:
-->'''Vegette''': Hm, guess I'll have to reassess you guys. I bet you guys could even take out the root of all evil, that damned Emperor Dondera.\\
'''Dondera''': Hey now, wait just ONE--
* In the UsefulNotes/RPGMaker 2000 game ''VideoGame/JaysJourney'', one NPC remarks on the attractiveness of one of your female party members:

* In the start of ''VideoGame/GoldenSun: The Lost Age'', Alex deals with the town's soldiers blocking the way while Jenna and Kraden are left to deal with the scruffy workers. The two mention, out loud, that they could easily handle them since they don't look so tough. Naturally, the workers get offended and call them out for being so rude.
* In ''VideoGame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'', in the second half of the mission "Last Hope", Trigger and the LRSSG must escort a liason plane out of Anchorhead Bay, when its attacked by conservative Eruseans. After driving them off the aircraft escorting the liaison plane are revealed to have been self-aware drones, and they attack Strider squadron. Long Caster orders them to engage the drones, and Count calls their creator "the king of all dumbasses", not knowing that Dr. Schroeder, who is aboard the liaison plane, was the one who made them.
-->'''Count:''' Hey, it's not our fault they won't listen to reason. Why build something like that? Whoever did is the king of all dumbasses.\\
'''Dr. Schroeder:''' ...Maybe he meant to build something else entirely.
* ''VideoGame/TrailsSeries'':
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky The 3rd'', if you speak with Anelace if she's not in the party after Agate joins, she asks if he headed out yet, that she wants to make her move on Tita when he's out of the picture, but doesn't want to try anything too soon and get caught in the act. If Agate is actually in your current party...
--->'''Agate''': You do know I'M RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, right?
--->'''Anelace''': Wh-Where'd YOU come from?!
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel IV'', the party compliments Tita on the power of her Orbal Gear, but notes that she didn't have to stick with them, that she could have stuck with Agate and helped him and her other friends from Liberl. She tells them that she's a branch campus student first and foremost and she explained all of this to Agate the night before. Ash suggests that something else may have happened between her and Agate afterwards, but she replies that he just gave a little smile and [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead patted her on the head]]. Altina says that as far as head-pats go, it was probably more innocent that the ones that Rean gives out, Musse saying that she might be right, but that Rean doesn't realize the implications of what he's doing half the time. Kurt comments that he hopes he doesn't end up like that and Rean thinks to himself, "I'm RIGHT here, you guys..."

* ''Machinima/ArbyNTheChief''
-->'''Colin:''' May I ask why you befriended that mongoloid? Granted Eugene, Tyler, and I have achieved some form of stability despite our diverse personalities, but yourself and Master Chief strike me as polar opposites.\\
'''Arbiter:''' Neither of us really had a choice in the matter. Circumstance threw us together. Kept us together. Forced us to dig for friends in one another. Even if they weren't to be found. The only thing worse than being around him is being alone.\\
'''Colin:''' I can respect that. Though I pity the shit out of you for the fact that your selection of company begins and ends with somebody whose smarts can be put to shame by a fucking glass of water.\\
'''Arbiter:''' Don't remind me.\\

Hinjo then makes sure Belkar gets a longer-than-average sentence just to make sure their plan doesn't work.
--> '''Hinjo:''' You probably shouldn't have discussed how you're going to beat the system in front of the guy charged with upholding the system. I still get to make Listen checks when I'm three feet away, you know.

-->'''Marten:''' (to himself) Oh man, I am such an idiot. She totally heard me talking to myself just now. Way to go, Marten, you've made a total ass of yourself. Speaking of asses, Faye's got one hell of a nice--\\

But when the camera pulls out, we see that Homer is still in the bar, sitting right next to Skinner in the same configuration as before, presumably just seconds after being told the secret.

* This trope is especially prone to occurring on the internet, even more so if there's no reliable method to tell if a user is online or not.
