| 4 | 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?" |
| 5 | |
| 6 | Distinct from DreamRealityCheck in that it usually is very real. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | A second type of this trope is where the bystander says: [[IllPretendIDidntHearThat "No, I don't see [exact description of event] and if you know what's good for you, neither do you."]] |

| 224 | * ''Roleplay/RubyQuest'': "Tom says that if you saw a huge door lined with teeth leading into some sort of horrible abyss then yes, he saw the same thing." |
| 225 | ** In this case, it wasn't simply that the sight itself was so bizarre--at that point, a common player theory was [[spoiler:that Ruby was insane and therefore an UnreliableNarrator; hence, whenever she saw something bizarre, they needed to ask Tom for confirmation]]. |

| 235 | * ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'': |
| 236 | -->"Am I seeing a robot penguin playing checkers with a frog?" |
| 237 | -->"I see it too, Skipper." |
| 238 | -->"More rack-time, boys." |
| 239 | * ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'': |
| 240 | -->'''Plastic Man:''' Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Because I'm seeing gorillas, riding pterodactyls, with harpoon guns, stealing a boat. |
| 241 | * ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekTheAnimatedSeries'' episode "The Time Trap". When the Klingon battlecruiser disappears Kirk says "Mr. Spock, did you see what I think I just saw?" |
| 242 | * This exchange from ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'' after seeing a limousine being chased by a [[RubberMan stretched-out]] guy in a purple suit and keeping up with it |
| 243 | -->'''Virgil:''' Did you see that?\ |
| 244 | '''Richie:''' Depends. What did you see? |

When Candace shows up, she's hit by Doofenshmirtz's Eye-Fog-Inator and states she's seeing ''nothing'', making Linda sure it's not real. It convinces her that she needed to take a nap. |
| 251 | * ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'': After Adora unlocks her fancy new princess duds, Bow - who had, about thirty seconds ago, been helping Glimmer hold her captive - take a second to make sure his reality check didn't just bounce: |

| 253 | '''Glimmer:''' Yeah...I see her, Bow.\ |
| 254 | '''Bow:''' Okay. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. |
