* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'' episode [[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS3E79FiveCharactersInSearchOfAnExit "Five Characters in Search of an Exit"]] has this as the twist. [[OntologicalMystery None of the characters can remember who they are or where they were before waking up in a featureless room]], because they're just children's dolls sitting in a donation bucket. Outside of the episode's narrative conceit that gives them personalities and interactions with each other, they're simply inanimate objects.

* Creator/SamuelBeckett loved this one: ''Endgame'', ''Theatre/WaitingForGodot'' (Estragon's character as opposed to Vladimir's) , probably others. Beckett's one-act play, ''Play'', can be an extreme version, with the world limited to a ''spotlight''. To explain, the entirety of the dialogue is spoken by three heads sticking out of large, unmoving funeral urns which can only speak if the spotlight is on them. There is often nothing else on stage and no other lighting. (The RTÉ "Beckett on Film" version, however, averts this trope by replacing the spotlight with the [[BehindTheBlack camera's gaze]] and including a set—a barren landscape filled with similar heads-sticking-out-of-urns.)
