** She put it in [[http://cleolinda.livejournal.com/630150.html her overview]], "Hand to God, I did not make one word of that up. ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' means never having to say you're kidding".

** "[[http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-steps-to-writing-successful-suspense-with-glenn-beck/ 5 Steps to Writing Successful Suspense (With Glenn Beck!)]]" describes TheReveal of the master plan in Radio/GlennBeck's ''Literature/TheOvertonWindow'' as follows:

** Another Dorkly video, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYRf3cOo9Pc The Insane True Story Behind '50 Shades of Grey']], a reading of the infamous ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' fanfiction [[https://www.inkitt.com/stories/fanfiction/11208?ref=v_b50fbe41-a029-4b7e-8a5d-1c3b7080160e Master of the Universe]], there are [[RuleOfThree three]] instances where the term "Actual Dialog" pops up in response to some rather odd dialogue. For example:

* WebVideo/WatchMojo has this to say about [[Film/TheConqueror John Wayne as Genghis Khan]] in their "Top 10 Worst Whitewashed Roles" video:

* ''WebVideo/CinemaSins'' has a variation of this in their "Everything Wrong With [[Literature/{{Twilight}} Twilight - Breaking Dawn Part 2]]" when Jeremy sums up a major plot point for the movie.

* Most of the Website/{{Newgrounds}} ''[[http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/youareafuckingmoron You Are A Fucking Moron]]'' animations have Reginald say something like this at least once.

*** In his review of the sequel to the ''other'' [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfTheTitanic animated Titanic movie]], living toys dance around to rave music. He adds a note at the bottom of the screen that it's not a joke, it's a real scene in the movie.

* From WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions' take on [[Myth/CelticMythology the myth of Cú Chulainn]]:
-->'''Red:''' But unfortunately, a dark shadow from her past comes back to haunt her in the form of--and I'm not making this up--her EvilTwin sister [[DarkActionGirl Aoife]].

** And in [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/6994-Metal-Gear-Rising-Revengeance his review]] of ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance}}'', when he feels the need to call out that his comparison to Franchise/ScoobyDoo was not exaggerated, as the main character actually "acquires a comedy talking dog as a sidekick. No, really, this is a thing that happens". (With a picture of a robotic dog, with a big arrow pointing to it and a caption, "a thing that happens.")

--> This couldn't be any less faithful to the films if the soundtrack had "Old [=McDonald=] Had a Farm"! ''[{{beat}}]'' ...Let me tell you something. Maybe you laughed at that comment about the soundtrack having "Old [=McDonald Had a Farm=]", or maybe you only got a minor chuckle out of it, or maybe you felt indifferent about it. But one thing's for sure: you're certain that I'm joking. That would be a very rational way of thinking. But the strange thing is... ''[GlassesPull]'' ...I'm not joking. I am ''dead fucking serious''. What I have heard, with my own ears, IS A ''FRIDAY THE 13TH'' GAME '''''THAT HAS "OLD MCDONALD HAD A [[PrecisionFStrike FUCKING]] FARM!!!'''''

*** In ''Film/FreddyGotFingered'', WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh's Oancitizen says regarding acclaimed performance art involving [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible a woman stripping, bathing in honey and doing a monologue about Winnie-the-Pooh doing BDSM]]: "Before you ask, I'm not making a word of that up."

* In Season 2 of LetsPlay/PokemonFriendlocke, the editor put the text ''"Yes, this is happening..."'' on the bottom of the screen when {{WebVideo/Saltydkdan}} decided to pause the story and open a pack of Pokemon trading cards.

** In a LeaningOnTheFourthWall manner, when the Producer suggests, instead of calling ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' that title, [[MythologyGag they go with "Spaceman from Pluto"]], he says:

** In his ''Film/ThePhantomOfTheOpera2004'' review, Doug impersonates Andrew Lloyd Webber pitching a sequel to Phantom called ''Theatre/LoveNeverDies''. They include the disclaimer, 'Yes, this is REAL.' This troper had never heard of the show and genuinely assumed it was a joke until the disclaimer popped up.

** In his review of ''VideoGame/TheRingTerrorsRealm'', Spoony promises the viewers that the [[MoodWhiplash cartoon-esque "splat" noise]] heard throughout the review is actually in the game and not something he added as a joke.

** The review of the movie ''Film/{{Sphere}}'' says this about the movie's ending: "No, really, that's what they came up with. No, I am not making this up just to make the movie sound stupider than it already is..."

* ''WebVideo/AutoTuneTheNews'' once [[StupidStatementDanceMix sampled a speech]] by Steve Buyer warning that [[GRatedDrug smoking lettuce is as harmful to your health as smoking tobacco.]] Immediately after, just to prove no ManipulativeEditing was at work, they include a news report about the actual speech, with the whole thing remixed together into SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic.

** Also used in his ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight'' review, in which he lists twenty things that Really Happen in it (well, sort of):

* Creator/BobChipman's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZXopZjBYo8 review]] of ''Film/TransformersTheLastKnight'' was done in the form of a (spoiler-filled) list of twenty outrageously stupid things that actually happened in the movie, as he felt that he had run out of ways to criticize the ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries'' without just descending into {{Angrish}} and a ClusterFBomb. [[spoiler:He made up one of them (a transphobic joke about "hybrid cars") simply to see [[TheTysonZone how many people actually thought it was real]].]]

** In his ''Film/InspectorGadget1999'' film review, he points out that when a billboard advertising Website/{{Yahoo}} falls on the BigBad's car, he isn't the one who dubbed in the Yahoo jingle of the time (a man singing "Yahooooo~ooo!" in a vaguely hillbilly-sounding voice).

** In his ''WesternAnimation/{{TUGS}}'' retrospective, he reassures the viewers that ''WesternAnimation/SaltysLighthouse'' is real after playing the clips of Burke and Hare as movie producers, and Zorran's song.

* In WebVideo/TheUnluckyTug's lost ''Thomas'' media video, he describes ''Institute of Innovation'' -- in which Thomas grows limbs, Percy is injected with Botox, and Sir Topham Hat becomes muscular -- and says "this is fucking real."

** Subverted in his ''Raid 2020'' review. He called something a "Poop Spattered Anus" and then showed that the instruction manual really called them that. And then admitted he made it up.
