| 9 | * Ray in the very first episode of ''LetsPlay/AchievementHunterMinecraftSeries'' does this when he discovers the house they buy was now covered in lava. Gavin, the one who did it, pulls this as well, claiming he was nowhere near it... until a Creeper attacked. |
| 10 | * ''WebVideo/AngelartsVALetsPlayEarthbound'': During the Christmas special, Jeff can be seen wearing a ''yarmulke'', and he mentions that Tony celebrates Hanukkah. He tries to explain that he is only looking into Jewish customs for scholarly purposes, but Ness doesn't buy it at all. |
| 11 | * ''WebVideo/AskANinja'': |
| 12 | -->'''Q:''' Do ninjas ever get lonely?\ |
| 13 | '''A:''' You mean are there nights when I sit alone in a cave, eating Cheez-Whiz out of a can, naming my weapons and making little costumes for them, so we can put on elaborate theatric productions. ''[beat]'' No, I don't know what you're talking about. I've got friends. |
| 14 | * [[http://www.behance.net/gallery/ALT1977-WE-ARE-NOT-TIME-TRAVELERS/545221 ALT1977]] would like you to know that their company definitely wasn't founded by rogue time travelers from 33 years in the future. Also, time travel is impossible, and will never happen. Especially not 33 years from now. |
| 15 | * Many of the pictures on TheComicallySerious site averagecats.com come across this way. [[http://averagecats.com/102 For example...]] |
| 16 | * From ''WebVideo/TheAwkwardCompilation'': |
| 17 | -->'''Lester:''' Home so soon?\ |
| 18 | '''Alex:''' I didn't come from anywhere suspicious. |
| 19 | * In one of John Finnemore's ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzSGLbHI0xc Cabin Fever]]'' videos about [[Radio/CabinPressure Arthur Shappey]] in quarantine during the coronovirus pandemic, he says that he and the pilots have decided that even after they're out of quarantine they should avoid visiting Carolyn. |
| 20 | -->'''Arthur''': Now, that's not because she's old. I remember that ''very'' clearly. It's definitely not because she's old, because she's ''not'' old, and nobody thinks she's old. And it's also nothing to do with how wheezy she gets when she goes upstairs sometimes. The reason is ... I've actually forgotten what the reason is, but I do know that the reason is nothing to do with how old anybody is. |
| 21 | * ''Series/TheCallOfWarr'': Killsin didn't find anything in the boxes that he's not sharing -- not at all! |
| 22 | * ''Roleplay/CerberusDailyNews'' is supposedly the comments section of an online newspaper in the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' universe. Two hundred years previously, that universe suffered a RobotRebellion. The robots are still out there, and may or may not be spying on the rest of the galaxy. One of the posters in the comments goes by the screen name "Inconspicuous_Organic," and constantly says that he's a "robust human specimen." (He's fooling nobody, but he's not harmful enough to justify booting.) |
| 23 | * ''Series/TheChasersWarOnEverything'' with this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHy0HyG8Yus&feature=feedrec_grec_index gem]] |
| 24 | * From Creator/{{Dropout}}'s ''WebVideo/HardlyWorking'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSpvtAXbp0k "I repeat, just testing the alarm in the event of a widespread fire in the basement. No fires today, though."]] Then the building manager makes an announcement about Stick Towels Under Your Doors Day (with crackling flames heard in the background), causing Jake to {{lampshade|Hanging}} why such a day even exists, but all of the others are TooDumbToLive, since they think Jake is trying to tell a joke that they obviously don't like. |
| 25 | ** ''WebVideo/JakeAndAmir'': Rick Fox frequently insists that he is ''not'' a chicken. Such an egregious example that despite being very visibly true, eventually even Jake starts to suspect the contrary. |
| 26 | * ''Website/ChannelAwesome'': |
| 27 | ** During a charity drive, one of the viewers asked about the possibility of another Spooning With Spoony video. Spoony immediately flew into a rage about how it was never, ever happening. He had actually filmed said episode just hours earlier, and it was released the next week. |
| 28 | ** Associate TGWTG producer [[WebVideo/TheCinemaSnob Cinema Snob]] wants us to know that under no circumstances should anyone think that he owns a copy of ''Film/WeekendAtBernies''. He's too classy for that. |
| 29 | ** Also, the Christmas horror movie ''Elves'': |
| 30 | --->'''Movie Protagonist:''' ''[to her cat]'' You're the only friend I have left!\ |
| 31 | '''Snob:''' ''[glances at Lloyd, his Siamese]'' Psh, whatever... I have friends! This movie isn't speaking to me in a weird way. |
| 32 | * ''WebVideo/CommentaryTheMusical'' has Creator/FeliciaDay say "I certainly wasn't thinking about how cute Creator/{{Nathan|Fillion}} is!" |
| 33 | * [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/the-fortey-first-day-a-cracked-murder-mystery/ This]] ''Website/{{Cracked}}'' article, in which the editor routinely interrupts the testimony of the other writers to strenuously and insistently deny that he had any reason to murder nor any ability or plans to murder the deceased columnist in question, who he probably didn't even see that night and even if he did he certainly didn't intend to murder him. [[spoiler:He gets so caught up in it that he doesn't even notice when the actual killer nonchalantly confesses to committing the deed.]] |
| 34 | * ''Website/{{Cracked}}'': [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/greatest-customer-feedback-ever-sent-to-mcdonalds/ "Greatest Customer Feedback Ever Sent to McDonald's"]]: A man found in a ball-pit that he filled with lube claims to have been [[MistakenForPedophile mistaken for a pedophile]]. His excuses are extremely convoluted. He even wore a "I Am Not A Child Predator" t-shirt. Either he's a crazy stupid pedophile or a crazy stupid ManChild. Either way, it's not looking so good for him. |
| 35 | * One of [[http://www.cracked.com/article_15661_harry-potter-book-disguises.html Cracked.com's Harry Potter book jacket disguises]] declares this book has "no wizards or anything like that." |
| 36 | * From ''Creator/{{David Mitchell|Actor}}'s Soapbox'': |
| 37 | -->"I do not have OCD. I've checked. Three or four hundred times. And I ''definitely'' don't. I stop myself catching it by washing my hands an even number of times. But I'm aware I'm at an at-risk group... I don't care about the odd pound, either, but I want the books balanced, only for the same reasons that if I saw two piles of actual books, I would want them literally balanced. It's neater that way. It's better. How can they not see that?" |
| 38 | * Quinn in ''Webvideo/DemoReel'' is not a member of the IRA and isn't going to answer any more questions. |
| 39 | * In the first episode of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'''s third campaign, Bertrand asks the group if they're wanted anywhere. Fearne says some aren't wanted in Jrusar, their current location. [[spoiler:[[WebVideo/CriticalRoleExandriaUnlimited She, Dorian, and Orym have targets on their heads by Emon's underground syndicate.]]]] |
| 40 | * Happens quite often to [[Roleplay/DestineEnormity Aidric Carter,]] partly because he's a rebel on the run from a dystopian government. |
| 41 | -->'''Aidric:''' "Uuuuh, no worries! Nothing to see here! Poor kid took a nasty and ''extremely unlikely'' spill that was in no way related to me, that's all!" |
| 42 | * ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' has Dr. Horrible, ClarkKenting as Billy, bump into his arch-nemesis. "We're meeting now for the first time!" |
| 43 | ** "What a crazy random happenstance!" |
| 44 | ** PlayedForDrama at the end in "Everything You Ever". "And I am ''fiii-ine...''" |
| 45 | * Johnny Chiodini of ''Dicebreaker'' fields a question in a "Dungeonbreaker" ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' video, only to realise that they neglected to come up with an answer ahead of time: |
| 46 | -->'''Alex Lolies:''' (in-character as Mist) What's [the zeppelin's] name?\ |
| 47 | '''Johnny:''' (in-character as [[SkyPirate Amelia Montebanc]]) That's a very good question, and I will answer it, because I know.\ |
| 48 | [chorus of laughs from the other players] |
| 49 | * [[http://evilatheistconspiracy.org/en/about.htm The Evil Atheist Conspiracy doesn't exist.]] |
| 50 | -->''That's the most important thing to keep in mind when discussing the evil Atheist conspiracy (or eAc as its members call it, that is, if it had any members, which it doesn't, since it doesn't really exist). In fact, you can probably just disregard that first paragraph altogether.'' |
| 51 | * Jessica of ''Podcast/FatFrenchAndFabulous'' may or may not have broken into a house after getting stranded on the side of the road. She may or may not have also accidentally let out the corgi. |
| 52 | * Gordon from ''WebVideo/FreemansMind'' notes that the intercom wouldn't specifically warn them to not do obviously dangerous things unless someone has already tried them. |
| 53 | * At the start of the ''WebVideo/GameGrumps''' playthrough of the secret epilogue of ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure DX'', this happens: |
| 54 | -->'''Dan:''' I'd like to put everyone's mind at ease who was afraid that ''maybe'' we just re-started the episode from the cutscene because the first time we weren't paying attention to what Tails said and we ran around the world for like twenty minutes not knowing where to go in the ''fucking finale''. That did ''not'' happen. |
| 55 | -->'''Arin:''' No, it didn't. That's crazy talk. |
| 56 | -->'''Dan:''' I know, right? |
| 57 | * [[http://youtu.be/aEHtcZ5pTkQ "G is for Giraffe.]] An animal I have never licked. Never. Never." |
| 58 | * In Literature/HitherbyDragons [[http://imago.hitherby.com/2004/08/merediths-fairy-tale/ "Meredith's Fairy Tale"]], a witch gives Meredith some tea leaves that are in no way cursed. |
| 59 | * From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8vhLhLXwIs Episode 5]] of ''Horrible People'': |
| 60 | -->'''Arturo:''' Where do you think you're going with that turkey baster?\ |
| 61 | '''Michael:''' Out of my way.\ |
| 62 | '''Arturo''': But that doesn't belong to you.\ |
| 63 | '''Michael''': Look, Arturo, it's not like I'm going to jack off into this thing and fill it full of semen so I can impregnate one of your female guests.\ |
| 64 | '''Arturo:''' I think that's exactly what you are going to do. |
| 65 | * Comedian Andrew O'Neill references this trope in his video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrgygfwnCJ0 I'm not being racist but... ]]. In summary, he demonstrates that the phrase renders ''anything'' suspicious and disturbing, such that if you preface a genuinely non-racist statement with it, it invites it to be interpreted as racist. |
| 66 | * ''WebVideo/JennyNicholson:'' |
| 67 | ** In her video reviewing every [[Film/TheLastJedi porg]] she makes sure to point out that the porgs were donated by the "Los Angeles Porg Archives", while wearing a porg hoody and showing a bed barely containing the multitude of porgs. |
| 68 | ---> '''Jenny:''' I don't own them all myself. [[SelfDeprecation That would be excessive. And sad.]] |
| 69 | ** As she explains how Creator/{{Disney}}'s approach towards brand integrity means significant restrictions on what situations a character is allowed to be shown in: |
| 70 | ---> '''Jenny:''' That's why if you meet Kylo Ren at Disneyland and try to hug him, you get yelled at. Not that I tried to hug him. But if you do, that's what happens. |
| 71 | * On LetsPlay/LewisBrindley and LetsPlay/SimonLane's fourth series of ''VideoGame/TroubleInTerroristTown'' [[note]]Simon was missing from series 4[[/note]], LetsPlay/HatFilms' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cd5EfCTTIsU Ross has a bad case of this]] mixed with ImplausibleDeniability, something he's become renowned for. He starts by shooting LetsPlay/{{Sips}}, LetsPlay/DuncanJones (after telling them "poop into mouth", a euphemism for the "Eat Shit" meme that Ross started) and then Lewis. After the alarm is raised due to Ross missing his first few shots at Lewis, he continues to deny it, ''while firing on the innocents''. |
| 72 | -->'''Ross:''' ''[after having killed Duncan]'' [[UnusualEuphemism Poop into mouth]].\ |
| 73 | ''[Ross then wanders out, as Lewis enters to discover there's blood everywhere]''\ |
| 74 | '''Lewis:''' Ross? ''[promptly gets shot at]'' Ross is shooting at me!\ |
| 75 | '''Ross:''' [[BadLiar No I'm not]]! I'm not trying to make you ''eat shit'' at all! ''[keeps firing]''\ |
| 76 | '''Lewis:''' It's definitely Ross, he's shooting me!\ |
| 77 | '''Ross:''' It's not me! ''It's not me!'' It's not me! Who is it? |
| 78 | * There was a ''WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun'' video involving [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/372/All-The-Little-People Paul denying having a family of tiny people living under his hat]]. [[http://loadingreadyrun.com/videos/view/374/Loading-Time-03-All-The-Little-People The commentary discusses the trope]]. |
| 79 | -->'''Matt:''' Heh, it would be pretty funny, though. Like, where would they go to the bathroom?\ |
| 80 | '''Paul:''' Oh... uh... ooh... I have to go now... because... I have a fire... stuck... in my pants...\ |
| 81 | ''(Paul turns and flees from the room)'' |
| 82 | ** Invoked again, multiple times in [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/loadingreadyrun/5048-Suspiciously-Good-Movers Suspiciously Good Movers]] |
| 83 | *** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W7P_OaCAOg Staggeringly Fast Loans ]] is in no way a spiritual successor, which does not invoke this trope. |
| 84 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7sE0agEVNg EVERYTHING IS FINE.]] |
| 85 | * ''LetsPlay/Moxie2D'' will have you know that he's not playing his Platinum Artlocke on an emulater. His uncle works at Nintendo and gave him a special limited edition DS that can speed up the game. [[RunningGag No, really.]] |
| 86 | * ''WebVideo/MrBeast'': In "I Spent 7 Days Buried Alive," Kris says "We definitely stayed up all night and dug this tunnel and didn't pay that guy to do it." The camera then tilts to show a guy in an excavator, who waves. |
| 87 | * In Episode 9 of ''WebVideo/TheMusicVideoShow''. ""You don't see me taking a bunch of Music/{{Creed|band}} albums, putting them in a garbage truck and setting the truck on fire." To be fair, the battery for the camera died before he could do it. |
| 88 | * The ''Website/{{Neopets}}'' Staff would like to remind you that there is no such place as [[http://www.neopets.com/jelly/index.phtml Jelly World]], and the very idea of it is silly. |
| 89 | * [[http://www.jest.com/video/46924/is-zooey-deschanel-human This]] parody advertisement for ''Series/NewGirl'' insists that Zooey Deschanel is "definitely one hundred percent human" with human friends that she would "never dream of eating or enslaving." |
| 90 | * Parodied in a real-life scene in ''Series/{{Noob}}''. Kevin (Sparadrap) tries to "kidnap" Stanislas (Arthéon) while wearing a PaperThinDisguise. Stanislas recognizes Kevin immediately, calling him "Sparadrap". The answer he gets : "No, no, mister, I'm not Sparadrap! You must be confusing me with another priest in another {{MMORPG}}.". |
| 91 | * WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick: |
| 92 | ** A RunningGag in the "Top 11 Villainesses" countdown. She'll lie very badly that "It's not like there's pictures of me dressed up as [this character] for Halloween"; cut to a picture of her {{cosplay}}ing, soundtracked with a scream. |
| 93 | ** One of WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick's recurring characters, Dr. Tease, has a tendency to do this too. |
| 94 | -->'''Nostalgia Chick:''' Where's [[OnlySaneMan Dr. Block]]?\ |
| 95 | '''Dr. Tease:''' ''Oh,'' uh--not in space. |
| 96 | ** Subverted another time, when she responds "Not indisposed because [[ActingForTwo she and Nella are really the same person]]." A few episodes later we see Dr. Block, and the Chick is confused because she assumed that they were. |
| 97 | * [[http://notalwaysright.com/totally-lost-the-pot/9198 This]] ''Website/NotAlwaysRight'' post is such a perfect example it makes you wonder if the guy rehearsed it before. |
| 98 | * The parody Twitter [[https://twitter.com/NotAPoliceman Not A Cop]]. He just wants to know what illegal crimes you're committing. And because he's a fellow lawbreaker like yourself, not because he's an undercover cop or anything... |
| 99 | * [[http://www.happyplace.com/3482/okcupid-dating-profile-i-wont-murder-you This]] joke OK Cupid profile (at least, we all hope it's a joke). Starts with, "I'm a fun loving guy and a self-starter who has absolutely no interest in committing murder."... [[FromBadToWorse It Gets Worse]]. |
| 100 | * "My name is Creator/OlanRogers. I am not an astronaut, a geophysicist, nor am I dragon slayer." |
| 101 | * ''Website/TheOnion'': |
| 102 | ** Shortly after the paper [[http://www.theonion.com/content//columnists/well_ive_sold_the_paper_to?utm_source=featuredsection was sold to a Chinese company]], an article was written entitled "[[http://www.theonion.com/content/news/nothing_at_all_happens_to_28?utm_source=a-section Nothing At All Happens To 28 Tibetan Protesters, Their Families]]" that takes this trope to its logical conclusion by stating that nothing happened to some Tibetan protesters, then explaining, in great detail, precisely what didn't happen to them. |
| 103 | --->''According to the great and trustworthy Chinese government, the eternal silencing of demonstrators was in no way carried out at 6:15 p.m., shortly after dusk, by officers of the People's Armed Police. Moreover, at this time, noxious gases were not at all fired into the teeming crowd, especially not at the children, who failed to fall like sacks of flour onto the pavement below. "Stop, you can't do this," a Tibetan woman reportedly cried as though she were being violently detained, which, as noted, was impossible. "Where are you taking me? Get your hands off me!"'' |
| 104 | ** In another article, a long {{Infomercial}} [[http://www.theonion.com/content/news/american_consumer_masses_agree_it for "fine fish-based foodstuffs from Yu Wan Mei"]] notes that "health experts agree: Fish Time cannot cause acute peripheral neuropathy." |
| 105 | ** ''The Onion'' is fond of these. [[http://www.theonion.com/articles/google-responds-to-privacy-concerns-with-unsettlin,16891/ Here's one about Google]] |
| 106 | ** [[http://www.theonion.com/articles/life-jackets-issued-to-all-americans-for-some-reas,95/ Life Jackets Issued To All Americans For Some Reason]]. |
| 107 | ** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=repxFQXVsHc Hostages Trapped Inside Walmart Insisting They Never Shop At Walmart]]", where absolutely no one is willing to admit that they shop at Walmart. Everyone -- the hostages, witnesses, the mass shooter himself, the reporters and even the higher ups at Walmart -- constantly pause to explain that they are only there by coincidence and definitely don't shop there or know anything about the store's merchandise. |
| 108 | * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:IanPlaystationNerd#I_appeal This unblock request]] at Website/TheOtherWiki (lampshaded immediately thereafter). |
| 109 | * ''WebVideo/OutsideXbox'' has had many examples over the years. |
| 110 | ** Jane regularly runs into this due to her status as the TokenEvilTeammate. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in the "Halo Wars 2" Show of the Week episode, where after a sentence where she twice emphasises that she isn't in touch with aliens and they're not asking her to send messages, Andy comments that her denials are "weirdly specific". |
| 111 | ** Over in the ''Outside Xtra'' sibling channel, Luke runs into this when he's caught in the midst of drawing [[MemeticMutation Bowsette-style art]] for a weekly quiz: |
| 112 | --->'''Luke:''' We're doing normal things! I'm a normal adult man! |
| 113 | ** During Showdown of the Weekend 2019, Andy regularly claimed to be impartial about thirty seconds after demonstrating a clear lack of impartiality. |
| 114 | ** Their liveshow at EGX 2017 opened with a voice that is clearly Andy insisting that they "definitely have their own announcer so stop asking". |
| 115 | ** The "Eight Disguises That Aren't Fooling Anyone" video is presented by a mysterious person who looks just like Andy wearing a wig and a false nose, who makes several comments along the lines of "That's an even worse disguise than the one that I would be wearing if I were wearing a disguise, which I'm not". |
| 116 | ** One episode of Show of the Weekend has Ellen accidentally shoot Andy with a VR aim controller. After hiding his body behind the purple sofa, Luke delivers the opening lyrics of the show with some twists. |
| 117 | ---> '''Luke:''' Show of the Weekend, everything is cool. Show of the Weekend, we didn't kill Andy. |
| 118 | ---> '''Ellen:''' Play the thing![[note]]Referring to the opening[[/note]] |
| 119 | ** After a commenter jokes about Andy playing as if Mike were the one at the controls: |
| 120 | --->'''Mike:''' Don't be ridiculous, Andy! How would I even go about constructing a voodoo doll that would allow me to remote control you? I mean, where would I find the scraps of clothing and bits of hair required to complete the ritual?\ |
| 121 | '''Andy:''' ...that's pretty specific. |
| 122 | ** Mike's sure that he's ''never'' mentioned his love of ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' on the Outside Xtra channel, or the Outside Xbox channel, or just to bored family members over dinner. |
| 123 | ** In the list video "[[https://youtu.be/6y1S6pJ_o0s 7 Acronyms So Painful They Need an Ice Pack: Commenter Edition]]", Luke accidentally reveals that he might not be what he seems: |
| 124 | --->'''Luke:''' When a breed of sinister robots is killing people and taking their places, your primary concerns should be: 1) What kick-ass name can we give the anti-robot taskforce and 2) Does anyone realize that I'm one of those robots? Wait, I've said too much...\ |
| 125 | ''[later]''\ |
| 126 | '''Luke:''' After all, who could possibly hope to get anything straightened out by an organization whose name stands for "[[FunWithAcronyms Japanese Undercover Neuro Kinetic Elimination Ranger]]", which is exactly the kind of pitiful human word ''garbage'' that I, as a regular human, have no problem with. |
| 127 | ** [[https://youtu.be/RM_zLmofUvU Show of the Week for 14 December 2012]]: |
| 128 | ---> '''Jane:''' Welcome to Show of the Week, which is definitely a real show about video games, and not a money laundering operation for illegal backstreet gambling. |
| 129 | ---> '''Mike:''' That was unusually specific. |
| 130 | ---> '''Jane:''' And you'll stay out of it if you know what's good for you. |
| 131 | ** In their ''TabletopGame/BladesInTheDark'' campaign, Andy's character has to praise the work of his ArchEnemy who keeps stealing his inventions. The high point is probably when he praises an Astor lock as "a wonderful lock, and not at all a stupid lock a baby could have made." |
| 132 | ** In their "One-Shot Wonders" series, Johnny decides during character creation for ''Adventure Skeletons'', for no reason other than RuleOfFunny, that their character, Cursed Skeleton #18, is prone to saying things like "I'M NOT AN ELF!" at random intervals. |
| 133 | * In the FAQ of the [[http://home.comcast.net/~jpittman2/pacman/pacmandossier.html Pac-Man Dossier]]: |
| 134 | -->'''Q:''' Where can I download a copy of the Pac-Man [=ROMs=]?\ |
| 135 | '''A:''' The ''Pac-Man'' [=ROMs=] are under copyright to NAMCO Bandai, LTD and are their intellectual property. I cannot legally provide you with them, and I certainly cannot recommend that you go to [[http://www.google.com Google]] right away and search for “pacman puckman [=ROMs MAME32=]” because you would probably find them after a little searching. |
| 136 | * [[http://pandasthumb.org/archives/2011/06/we-get-mail.html This post]] at The Panda's Thumb, discusses an e-mail they received titled "A legitimate question about Evolution with no agenda." |
| 137 | * A staple gag on ''Podcast/RiffTrax.'' In the short ''Three Magic Words,'' Bill does a particularly epic version ''in song:'' |
| 138 | --> '''Bill:''' "We're not going to strangle you and say a prayer to Lucifer and sacrifice you on the kitchen floor! On the floor! By the Door! We won't dis-em-bowel you on the kitchen floor!" |
| 139 | * ''WebVideo/RoosterTeethShorts'': |
| 140 | ** Burnie insists he wouldn't want a Henckman Brothers Model 607 Trapdoor. |
| 141 | ** Gus's volunteer trip to the Gulf Coast was totally not a secret vacation to Hawaii. |
| 142 | * ''Website/SCPFoundation'': |
| 143 | ** That time somebody pushed Dr. Clef into [[OmnicidalManiac SCP-682]]'s enclosure was a freak accident and in no way an attempt to kill him. Additionally, the high-speed introduction of the guilty party's face to a table shortly afterward, resulting in a snapped neck, was the result of 682 somehow breaching containment, then promptly returning to its cell. Without disappearing from the camera feed at any point. It was ''definitely'' not Dr. Clef. |
| 144 | ** Similarly, when Doctor Kondraki was interviewing Doctor Clef following a very serious containment breach, "Dr. Clef accidentally fell out of his chair and struck his head nine times against the corner of the desk, fracturing his skull and snapping his neck between the second and third vertebrae." |
| 145 | ** Also, [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2769 SCP-61231]]'s anomalous effects tend to lead to this, along with ConfusingMultipleNegatives. |
| 146 | -->''SCP-61231 and Dr. B██████ do not silently maintain eye contact for 10 seconds.'' |
| 147 | * ''WebVideo/SearchForSandvich'': When the Giggling Secretary is asked by the Sniper who she is, she responds by curtly insisting that she was not laughing at him, even though he never accused her of that. |
| 148 | -->'''Giggling Secretary''': I was not laughing at you, I was laughing at my book! |
| 149 | * From the video ''WebVideo/SexOffenderShuffle'', Arthur Chase's rap features the lines, "I'm not the necrophiliac Arthur Chase / That's a different Arthur Chase." |
| 150 | * ''Website/SFDebris'': Parody Janeway is prone to this. |
| 151 | -->"My father died, too, and I totally have an alibi and everything." |
| 152 | * ''Literature/SkippysList'' has examples: |
| 153 | --> 151. The proper way to report to my Commander is "Specialist Schwarz, reporting as ordered, Sir" not "You can't prove a thing!" |
| 154 | * As the writers of Website/{{Snopes}} will tell you, this trope is a good rule of thumb for determining if a rumor spawned in a chain email is actually true. If the writer of said email feels the need to preface it with "This is ''not'' a hoax!", it probably is. |
| 155 | * Featured on ''Website/SomethingAwful'', the [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/p-p-p-powerbook "P-P-P-Powerbook"]], made from a white binder with sharpie doodled on it, assures you that "This is real". |
| 156 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Spelljammer}}'': "[[TheGreys Oortling]] Central Command (Terraspace) [[http://sjml.spelljammer.org/archive/leicester/199410/27-132026.html press release]] to Surviving Members of the Spelljammer Mail List. [[http://sjml.spelljammer.org/archive/leicester/199407/24-094203.html Not that there was any reason to panic]], anyway." |
| 157 | * The joke website [[https://www.tedcruzforhumanpresident.com/ Ted Cruz For Human President]] is this trope in a nutshell. One example: |
