* ''Webcomic/TemplarArizona'' is set in a largely realistic but subtly different world, where there are, among other things, fast-food restaurants serving fried guinea pig, and one of the largest immigrant factions of the eponymous city is composed of people who are both ethnically and culturally ''Ancient Egyptian''. There's also a huge black man named Scipio who is a professional bodyguard and who dresses pretty much like a Roman gladiator, and no one who meets him finds anything even slightly remarkable about this.

* The world of ''Webcomic/TheDragonDoctors'' is pretty much this; it's 2000 years in our future, after the world has been blown up four times, the fourth of which fused it with several other worlds. Most sociological and technological conventions ''resemble'' those of modern-day society, but magic is ever-present and allows people to do all sorts of interesting things. The Docs are just as likely to treat pinkeye one day and face a killer sentient cancer another, or turn a gorgon into a human at her request. As their leader says, "We don't live in a world where nothing is real. We live in a world where ''everything'' is real... though not all at once."

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has ghosts, trippy dimensions in space, soul-sucking demons from Hell, cyclopes whose tears heal wounds, tiny cat assassins, etc. Where do you think the 'Adventure' part comes from?
** Interestingly, the series actually gives us a concrete divergence point as to when and where everything went insane; there was a nuclear war that involved a mutagenic bomb, which somehow [[TheMagicComesBack made magic come back]]. Its shown that in a world where that particular bomb never exploded, things are much more conventionally postapocalyptic.

The human world ''was'' normal until the ponies decided it'd be cool to [[SealedEvilInACan use it as a can]] to dump some [[EmotionEater sirens]] in and later introduce Equestrian magic as a whole to the world, which is slowly but surely turning it into one with each subsequent movie.

** The closely-related ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven'' series fares about the same. Vegetables with facial hair and faces, raps about snacks, monkeys, army birds, dumpling-inhaling monks, monkeys, badmitton between a dog and cat piloting planes, whatever Donk-donk is supposed to be, monkeys, sentient ground shooting fruit into basketball hoops, martians who love pork rice bowls, and a few more monkeys for good measure... basically the only thing that separates the two series is that absolutely everything in Rhythm Heaven is done to the beat of catchy music. And monkeys.

* ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'' is a perfect example of this trope at its finest. With little more than a HandWave describing the series as a [[WidgetSeries Wicket,]] the series casually includes epic battle scenes, mystical powers, save points, and ninjas. A good example of how the series treats fantastical elements is that finding out someone is psychic is generally no more surprising than finding out that they're vegan[[note]]In the series, there's actually some overlap, as a vegan diet gives you psychic powers[[/note]]: it's unusual, but in no way fantastic.

* The state of UsefulNotes/{{Florida}} has garnered a [[OnlyInFlorida reputation]] of being an alligator-infested epicenter for the strangest stories from chaotic locals. Many a publication will end up viral if the title is ever adorned with a "Florida Man". This is due to its transparency regarding information pertaining to different cases, which lets papers and reporters publish the strangest and most absurd happenings that other states would normally downplay in their headlines. Strange wording for headlines aside, the fact that the state is home to [[OnlyInMiami Miami]] and is near TheBermudaTriangle only help to sell its infamy.

*''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' starts out fairly weird, what with the cast including a stranded alien and a goldfish with the brain of an East German skier, but gets more and more weird as it goes, featuring such things as the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Rapture, evil Santa Claus, Krampus, elements of ''Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh'', time-travelling cyborgs, cloning, remote-controlled avatar bodies, ghosts created from sexual frustration, TV-dwelling demonic abominations, sexually-aggressive wraiths, sentient jeans, people uploaded into ''VideoGame/OregonTrail'', gigantic fish monsters, witches, a bunch more aliens (one of whom becomes Creator/KimKardashian), and the aforementioned stranded alien being a MasterOfDisguise to an impossible, [[RealityWarper reality-warping]] degree.

* In the world of ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'', Most of human history has been shaped by gods playing a CosmicChessGame. The multiverse exists, as do most mythological creatures and deities in some form. Magic can be wielded to turn entire cities of humans into animals, and multiple forms of MouseWorld exist in the lower levels of society. Despite this, conflict is generally relegated to SliceOfLife scenarios, and TheUnmasquedWorld doesn't occur until the very last arc.
