This strip was featured on our facebook page recently and it was labeled as Something Only They Would Say.

The Cyclops/Wolverine thing is also the page quote.

What if it's not done with dialog, like if a notoriously clumsy character knocks over a whole bunch of fragile things?

Well, there's No One Else Is That Dumb, which lists several non-verbal examples.

Also Tropes Are Flexible; "something only they would do" could fit under the heading- say, the Big Eater gets distracted from the entire Spot the Impostor situation by a nearby vending machine, thus proving their identity.

It can also be Imposter Forgot One Detail if it's something they aren't doing that gives them away, and Impostor-Exposing Test if its something like "the real Bob can chug a bottle of Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce"
