History Main / TheCuckooLanderWasRight

** A specific and very clear example: River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see sky, and they remember what they are.
Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

** Another one by Bioware; in ''[[BaldursGate Throne of Bhaal]]'', the mad general Gromnir basically tells you [[spoiler:Amelissan's]] evil plot early on, but nobody takes him seriously because they assume he's just raving. (He is, but being paranoid doesn't mean they aren't really after you.)

...

* Done in ''SchlockMercenary'', regarding the nature of Credomar.

-->-- Homer Simpson, ''{{The Simpsons}}''

-> ''Looks like the Question was right all along.''
-->--Lex Luthor

* In AlvinAndTheChipmunks Meet the Wolfman, Alvin makes various crazy claims about people in the neighborhood being monsters that get him in trouble. Most of them are wrong, which his brothers ridicule him for, and use them as evidence that his claims their new neighbor is the wolfman are wrong. Except that he actually IS the wolfman...

* Spencer from ''{{Burn Notice}}''. He's schizophrenic and sees messages encoded in beams of light, but he's also smart enough to see the pattern between the actions of his boss and the deaths of American spies.

* ''OrderOfTheStick'': [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0556.html Fight, fight, fight, fight the urge to say "I told you so."]] Elan's good for this thanks to his [[GenreSavvy encyclopedic knowledge of bardic tradition]] (and little else).

* In ''{{Megatokyo}}'', Largo is treated as a Cloudcuckoolander by most of the class, but Tokyo IS a PlanetEris, and personal relationships DO lead to more trouble than would be expected.

** Lampshaded later on: "My god, the crazy old man in church was right!"

* ''AmericanDad'' - While in the middle of a drug-fuelled MushroomSamba, Rodger refused to let go of a big bag of cat food, afraid that he was becoming immune to gravity. At the end of the episode, he drops the bag and floats off.

Compare DumbassHasAPoint, NoMereWindmill and CueTheFlyingPigs. Contrast WindmillCrusader. If it's the MadnessMantra that was right all along, perhaps you should be a little afraid...

Until, in a strange twist of hindsight, it turns out he was right all along.

Compare DumbassHasAPoint and CueTheFlyingPigs. Also has much in common with OnlySaneMan and CassandraTruth. If it's the MadnessMantra that was right all along, perhaps you should be a little afraid...

* Spike of ''BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' remained DangerouslyGenreSavvy even when he went crazy [[spoiler:after getting his soul back and getting {{Mind Screw}}ed by the BigBad of season 7]], so much so that, in the episode "Same Time, Same Place", he's the only one to figure out that Willow can't see or interact with the rest of the Scoobies and vice-versa.

* {{Deadpool}} is insane. He talks to the voices and in his head and has an obsession with his little yellow thought boxes. Guy's got one foot in cloudcuckooland and one foot in the nut house. He's also one of only a very few Marvel Universers who knows he's in a comic.

* The hybrids in ''BattlestarGalactica''. They're prophets, but most of them, most of the time, are so cryptic and vague that except for one instance no one has any idea what they mean (the phrase "harbinger of death" kind of stands out). But in hindsight, everything they said was accurate or at least relevant.

* In ''Dave & Vyacheslav'', Dave the necromancer happens to encounter the ridiculous [[http://www.bjorn-comic.com/dandv/strip24.htm Church of Jesus Christ, Astronaut]], which holds that Jesus "[[http://www.bjorn-comic.com/dandv/strip25.htm stands astride a satellite, gazing down upon us with unblinking eyes, twenty-four hours a day.]]" As it turns out, however, due to a botched resurrection attempt by a group of necromancers in the year 1000, [[http://www.bjorn-comic.com/dandv/strip25.htm Jesus is now a zombie on the moon.]] SoYeah.

Compare DumbassHasAPoint. Often a case of CueTheFlyingPigs. Also has much in common with OnlySaneMan and CassandraTruth. If it's the MadnessMantra that was right all along, perhaps you should be a little afraid...
