160* ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1987}}'' (1987):
161** Upon encountering the turtles for the first time, April O'Neil mutters "I can't handle this" and sinks to the ground unconscious. She stays out cold throughout the time it takes for them to transport her to their hideout and onto a bed. On waking and sitting up, she then immediately sees ratlike Splinter offering her some tea. At the sight of this, she mechanically utters "I don't believe this" and [[ExaggeratedTrope flops right back onto the bed, gone a second time]]. Somehow, Donatello was able to wake her up easily this time by simply grabbing her hand, but not the previous time.

After waking up, she tries hard to convince herself that it was AllADream and that she's still dreaming the conversations that she's having with the turtles at this very moment, leaving the turtles exasperated. On seeing Splinter's human-sized rat appearance, April is too shocked to even be able to continue telling herself that what she's seeing isn't real anymore, and [[ExaggeratedTrope goes limp right there on the sofa]]. ''Unlike'' her 1987 incarnation, this April stays in her second faint for ''much'' longer, to the point where Mikey straight-up gives up on trying to wake her up and goes to listen to music instead, telling the others to just notify him when she wakes up. The villain of the episode even manages to carry out an entire bank robbery in the meantime as [[DeepSleep April lies dead unconscious]]. When she wakes up from ''this'' faint, she's finally a bit more open to accepting that the turtles and Splinter ''might'' be real.
