History Main / NotOnTheList

* ''VideoGame/PAYDAY2'' - The bouncer at the [[LegitimateBusinessmensSocialClub Tasteful Club]] subverts this:
-->'''Bouncer:''' Sorry guys, you're not on the list...Ah, whatever. You guys [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter seem like class-acts]] .

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': In "Critical Condition", Slappy uses "not on the list" to deny two film critics entrance to a film premiere - despite their invitations. They'd severely ticked her off criticizing some of her old cartoons, and this is just the beginning of her revenge.

* Subverted in ''VideoGame/DmCDevilMayCry'', in which Dante brashly approaches Lilith's Club and gets stopped by the bouncer, who rejects him because he's actually not on the list. Dante's response? Uppercut the bouncer, knocking him unconscious, then add insult to injury by writing "Fuck you" on the bouncer's list and jokingly saying "I am now!" and barging into the club uninvited.

--> '''Grunt''': Yes, I like pie. And no, you can't come in.
--> Commander Shepard ''doesn't'' have [[ImplausibleDeniability a half-brother named "Sheppy the Volus"]].
--> You just lost the fight for your right to party.
--> Definitely [[EveryoneHatesMimes no mimes]] allowed. There's no box, there never was!
--> You again? [[NoodleIncident I thought you were dead.]] You can't come in.
--> You're selling cookies? Uh...well...No. I shouldn't let you in. Damn.
--> ''(to Shepard)'' It's easy. Just push this button and say "no!"

* One person who wasn't invited to the lavish 1821 coronation of George IV as king of the United Kingdom was his estranged wife and nominal queen consort, Caroline of Brunswick. Despite this, Caroline and an entourage came to the coronation at Westminster Abbey anyway, where she intended to assert her right as queen to be crowned and anointed alongside him. Guards refused her entry even though they were well aware of who she was, saying no one could be admitted without a ticket; Caroline insisted she didn't need a ticket because she was queen. Caroline tried several side and back entrances but had doors slammed in her face each time, and finally gave up and left.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' episode "Access Denied", Mordecai and Rigby tried to get in to the nightclub to enjoy Margaret's birthday party. However, the doorman rejects them from going in because they're not on the list. Unfortunately, it turns out that they're at the wrong club.

* ''Film/TheMask'' invokes this trope twice: The first time, when Ipkiss goes to the Coco Bongo club with his friend and isn't let in, the second when The Mask goes to the club and pushes his way through after throwing a lot of money around.

The [[TheWannabeIndex Wannabe]] usually insists they are on the list and demands the bouncer check again. Often, they may attempt to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith, ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections, or ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney in an effort to force their way into the venue with various levels of success. Similarly, a famous person may try to get into a place they aren't on the list of, hoping to rely on their reputation, only to have the bouncer [[RecognitionFailure not know who they are]] and refuse to budge.

* ''Series/TheReallyLoudHouse'' episode "[[Recap/TheReallyLoudHouseS1E11NoLoudsAllowed No Louds Allowed]]" has Lincoln and Clyde opening an exclusive club in the attic and doing this to the former's sisters after having his bedroom intruded upon just one too many times. It's not long before Leni and Luna, then Lucy and Lisa, and finally, Lynn Jr. and Lana, start doing it to them, and for that matter, one another, out of retaliation (Leni and Luna having their club in the backyard, Lucy and Lisa having theirs in the basement and Lynn Jr. and Lana having theirs in the backyard shed after converting it into a sports lounge).

Often, they may attempt to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] YouHaveNoIdeaWhoYoureDealingWith, ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections, or ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney in an effort to force their way into the venue with various levels of success.

Sometimes, the character trying to gain entry knows they aren't on the list, but are attempting to flex their [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections connections]] or [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney wealth]]. Depending on the mood of the bouncer, this may work. Similarly, a famous person may try to get into a place they aren't on the list of, hoping to rely on their reputation, only to have the bouncer [[RecognitionFailure not know who they are]] and refuse to budge.
