swapping ptitle and redirect


[[redirect:ptitle5uvafvz8]]

to:

[[redirect:ptitle5uvafvz8]]You've come across something so bizarre and inexplicable, you're not even sure it's real. The solution? Ask the guy standing next to you, "You can see that, right?" Usually the bystander confirms what you are seeing, be it a monster or a rip in space-time. Variations include, "Is anybody else seeing this?" and, "Did you hear that?"

Distinct from PinchMe in that it usually is very real.

A second type of this trope is where the bystander says: "No, I don't see [exact description of event] and if you know what's good for you, neither do you."

Compare WeirdnessCensor. See also ByTheEyesOfTheBlind, to which this is usually said in response. Also see YouCanSeeMe and ISeeThemToo.

You ''can'' see that...right?
