History ArbitrarySkepticism / WesternAnimation

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/The7D'', Grumpy insists that ogres don't exist simply because he's never seen one himself, despite living in a fantasy world where witches, fairies, and the like all exist.
* ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters'' has the monsters (who have supernatural powers besides looking scary) being very skeptical of ghosts, which don't exist (or do they?)
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': In the episode, "The Oracle", gumball tells his mother, Nicole, that he doesn't want to go to the mall because he saw 4 of Banana Barbara paintings that somehow predicted the future, including one where he is humilated on live-tv in the same mall, something that Nicole disbelieves but complies anyway. This is coming from the same woman who 1: lives in a town filled with living inanimate objects, 2: has a talking goldfish with legs as one of her sons, and 3: has a husband who can warp reality and destroy the universe..... by having a job. In her defense, Banana Barbara, and her whole family in general, has shown very little intelligence
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'': In a world where ogres, trolls and dragons are a common occurrence all humans in the setting think that the gummi bears are just "fairy tale characters".[[note]] until they meet one, of course[[/note]]
* Franchise/AlvinAndTheChipmunks is full of this.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}}'', when Anne claims to see a creature known as the Moss Man, the others laugh it off and say that it's a myth that only the young or the gullible believe. Anne immediately points out all the crazy stuff she's experienced since [[TrappedInAnotherWorld coming to this world]], only for them to point out in return that they have actual evidence of those things existing and how such things are ''far'' more normal than her strange "memory box" (smartphone) and tales of flying machines. This naturally just makes her more upset about not being believed.

** Frylock once told a scared Meatwad, "there's no such thing as monsters!" despite encountering them on a daily basis and being ''living food items'' themselves.

** Similarly, in ''Green-Eyed Monster'', Archie refuses to believe that the new girl who abruptly and mysteriously appeared at school one day could actually be a monster. Granted he's somewhat cross with Betty and Veronica who are the ones to tell him this, but by now he's already seen killer potatoes, a CaptainErsatz of Literature/{{Christine}}, clones of Veronica, invisibility, giant Veronica, a ghost, a mummy, a werewolf, aliens, evil virtual creatures, a CaptainErsatz of [[Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde Mr. Hyde]], a literal demon, an evil genie, a gargoyle, ghost pirates, super heroes, a monster aligator, and ''a previous potential girlfriend who was actually a monster''. You'd think he'd at least consider the possibility, especially considering said new girl has [[GlamourFailure green hair]].

** [[TheSpock Sokka]] seems to have trouble with this one from time to time. The second season episode "The Swamp" is one good example, in which he refuses to believe that the swamp called forth spirits. When [[TheHeart Katara]] points out that [[TheHero Aang]] has contacted spirits regularly (and he was once kidnapped by one and stuck in the spirit world), he dismisses it with "That's Avatar stuff; it doesn't count.", making a strange case of FlatEarthAtheist that's not atheistic at all. That said, [[spoiler:Sokka is hilariously right about the swamp, at least in regards to it "attacking" them: said attack actually came from local waterbenders bending the water inside the vines, who were miffed that said outsiders were chopping up their plants with machetes.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'': Subverted in the episode "Revenant", when Terry tells Bruce about a so-called "ghost" his classmates believe to be haunting his high school. Terry expects Bruce to reject the notion out of hand because there's no such thing as ghosts. Bruce then turns to Terry and explains [[SeenItAll he's]] ''[[SeenItAll met]]'' [[SeenItAll ghosts, wizards, witch-boys, zombies, immortals and demons]]... but he doesn't believe it in this case, because it sounds "too high school". Turns out, he is right. It isn't a ghost, it is StalkerWithACrush, Willie Watt, who has psychic powers.
* The cynic Kevin 11 of ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce'' has this going for him in regards to magic and CropCircles, despite being a mutant that battled countless alien species (Ben even lampshades this by saying "It's not like we don't know a bunch of aliens"). He is right with [[spoiler:Gwen power's coming from her alien inheritance]] but the creators have confirmed that the magic ''exists'' and can be used by ''normal'' humans.
* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteers'': In the episode "[[Recap/CaptainPlanetAndThePlaneteersS3E10HogTide Hog Tide]]", wielding a magic ring and interacting with two powerful nature spirits on a regular basis doesn't stop Wheeler from questioning quite a few elements of Gaia's tale.
* Pinning down an in-universe chronology in ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' is perhaps an exercise in futility, but as far as this trope goes, it really doesn't matter: in the first two volumes, they've seen ''bona fide'' aliens, genies, ghosts, undead mummies, fortune tellers, leprechauns, banshees, and a weather-predicting tail, and been under the influence of mind-control juice. Yet every time (including some others in which they turn out to be right, and it's all a trick), it seems like someone (or almost everyone) doesn't believe the thing in question exists, and is only willing to check it out when forced to. As a general rule, if only Chip is skeptical, then the ghost/psychic/whatever is for real. If Gadget is skeptical, then it is bound to be a trick. If Dale is skeptical, he'll be proven wrong one second later. And if Monterey Jack is skeptical, well, actually he's never skeptical, so never mind.

** There's also Danny's mother, an expert in the field of ghosts, finding ''Santa Claus'' to be a scientific impossibility. This actually makes sense because she has a tendency to approach the concept of ghosts from a scientific perspective, and while she accepts ghosts exist, she probably does not believe in "magic".
* {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d in ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' "There are no vampire potatoes. Scientists who turn themselves into plants, yes. But vampire potatoes, that's ridiculous." (Ironically, Reginald Bushroot, the "scientist who turned himself into a plant", he was talking about, was the villain responsible for ''creating'' the vampire potato.)
* ''WesternAnimation/DeltaState''

** In several episodes some of the main cast express doubts about certain strange occurances being the fault of the Rifters despite having to deal with them constantly.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Dilbert}}'' frequently has the eponymous engineeer play Arbitrary Skeptic, only to let Dogbert then point out the "correct" belief and have it confirmed seconds later -- and for the rest of the episode.
* The Archdruidess in ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}}'' insists witches aren't real and that it's just an excuse to kill "weirdos and masturbaters", despite the fact magic is very real in their kingdom and they've dealt with no less than two actual witches by the time she says this.
** In the second season, Odval and Sorcerio insist that everything from Steamland must be magic, and that any claims of "science" are ridiculous. The writers seem to have forgotten that in the first season, Sorcerio's ''whole gimmick'' was trying to use science to cover up for his [[IneptMage ineptitude with magic]].

** In one episode the characters tell Ord that "monsters aren't real" to keep him from being afraid of the dark. But the thing is, the show takes place in a MagicalLand that's ''full'' of creatures that could easily be described as monsters--including the titular dragons themselves!
** In "My Way or Snow Way," when Max tells Emmy that he met a talking snowman, Chilly, she immediately tells him to stop exaggerating. This is despite the fact of talking dragons and more generally them having met any number of other sentient talking fantastical creatures in Dragon Land.

** Played straight yet averted in "Raiders of the Lost Harp". Scrooge dismisses the idea that the minotaur is magic. Yet later....
-->'''Dewey:''' You don't believe in magic, do you Uncle Scrooge?\\

-->'''Huey:''' Dragons are a myth. They don't exist.\\

* ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'': Strangely it appears in this work (of all places), in the Christmas episode, "A Lost Claus". It's been long established that the series takes place in a universe where everything children can imagine comes to life. Therefore, you'd think there'd be '''no question at all''' that Santa Claus is real in this world. Imaginary Friends who happen to look and act exactly like Santa have a tendency to show up in droves around Christmas time. So the question is, is there one single "real" Santa?

** In the episode "The Deep South", Fry points out how weird it is that despite having a crustacean alien as a co-worker, no one believes that he saw a mermaid. {{Justified}} since in the future that Futurama takes place in aliens are commonplace while mermaids are still regarded as mythical.

* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/GodzillaTheSeries'', Nick refuses to believe in the Loch Ness Monster. Elsie points out that "We've seen things in the last few months I never would have believed in before." The eponymous character leaps to mind. Monique mocks this is another episode, reminding the disbeliever they work with a giant lizard that breaths atomic fire.

** In "Bottomless Pit!" Grunkle Stan still states that the stories the twins and Soos tell to pass the time are far-fetched, even though he is falling through a bottomless pit even as he speaks, and even ''lived through'' one of the stories. [[spoiler:This is later subverted, as the second season reveals that he has always been perfectly aware of the weirdness of the town. He just pretends to be oblivious to discourage the kids from pursuing it and because of his own general dislike for the supernatural.]]
*** However, WordOfGod admits that Grunkle Stan doesn't believe in God, despite seeing the supernatural on a regular basis, using a interdimensional portal to [[spoiler: bring back his twin brother]], and even [[spoiler: punching out the very god-like Bill Cipher in the series finale]].

* In an ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' episode with a (fabricated) alien invasion, Gadget doesn't believe in Martians but does believe in Venusians.
* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim''
** Dib, who is constantly trying to convince people of the existence of Bigfoot, ghosts, and tiny green aliens bent on world domination, is entirely dismissive of the claims made by "The Delouser", who believes lice originate from a subterranean Lice Queen, going so far as to [[YoureInsane tell her she's crazy]]. At least he apologized when it turned out she was right.

* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'': Jimmy has traveled to space, where he can breathe perfectly fine, fought aliens, traveled through time, and done many other things you can expect from a child genius. However, he doesn't believe in Santa Claus, due to never getting the dwarf star he asked for as a child. [[spoiler:It turns out that Santa ''did'' get him that star, but he didn't want to deliver it until it finally cooled.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''

** Actually [[InvertedTrope inverted]] in one circumstance. When the Martian Manhunter comes to the Kent farm on Christmas, Ma and Pa Kent ruefully tell J'onn how they use to wrap Clark's Christmas presents in lead foil so he couldn't [[MundaneUtility peep on them with his x-ray vision.]] Clark, in a tone of complete seriousness, sternly corrects them, "You mean ''Santa'' wrapped them." [[FridgeBrilliance If you were a godlike alien adopted by humans who was spending Christmas Eve with a shapeshifting alien from an entirely different species, how hard is Santa to believe in?]] Even better is, at least in some DC universes, [[https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Santa_Claus Santa actually DOES exist]], and he manages to give ''Darkseid'' a lump of coal every year.

* One of the heroes of ''WesternAnimation/KingArthurAndTheKnightsOfJustice'' reacts with laughter when a villager comes to Camelot asking for their help to get rid of a fire-breathing dragon menacing his village. Even though a wizard brought him back in time, a magic table gave him the knowledge to be a knight, and he's already seen a dragon jump out of the king's shield and come to life. In the end he's right about the dragon; it's not real. It's an illusion created by a sorceress.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' movie Bugs Bunny's 1001 Rabbit Tales, Abba Cadabba has no problem with talking rabbits and cats, but is incredulous to the idea of singing frogs.
* In the bat-related episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicSchoolBus'' Ralphie is firmly convinced that Ms. Frizzle is a vampire while Keisha continually says that vampires don't exist. However, they're used to continually going around in a magic transforming semi-sentient school bus driven by a mostly sentient chameleon that can turn them into bats at the press of a button. Granted, Keisha is right (at least about Ms. Frizzle) but they've swallowed a lot of impossible things while trying to prove whether vampires exist. She would have been better off pointing out that vampires can't go out in the sun and they see Ms. Frizzle during the day five days a week.

* Diana in ''WesternAnimation/MartinMystery'' refuses to believe that any event The Center investigates is result of paranormal activity, claiming that there would be some logical explanation. Yet she works for an organization that employs aliens and cavemen, and it is a MonsterOfTheWeek show, so the fact that she brought this up so often really messes with the WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief. She has some reason to be skeptical of Martin -- although a supernatural explanation always proves to be true, it's rarely the first one he provides. Or the second. Or the third. He always gets it right ''eventually'', but only after numerous downright absurd guesses that have no bearing on what's actually happening. The fact that she doesn't conclude that it's definitely supernatural, but Martin is wrong about ''how'' until evidence suggests otherwise is a bit problematic, though.

*** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E9BridleGossip Bridle Gossip]]", Twilight dismisses the possibility of curses or hexes as mere superstition, as not real magic. At first, she does this before anyone sees any evidence of them, so that's not this trope, though the others rather act as if. When she and her friends become afflicted with strange magical effects that seem to be a curse, she eventually changes her mind. [[spoiler: Turns out she was initially right this time, as they're caused by something else, and there are indeed no curses appearing anywhere. Until "The Crystal Empire" airs and we learn curses are, in fact, a very real thing in the series.]]
*** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen Feeling Pinkie Keen]]", it takes the whole episode for Twilight to accept that Pinkie Pie's strange bodily premonitions about the future are real even though they're beyond known types of magic and her understanding. The evidence grows more and more obvious, but she dismisses it most of the way because she can't accept something she can't quantify.
*** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E20ItsAboutTime It's About Time]]", Twilight says to her [[StableTimeLoop future self]] "You are not scientifically possible," effectively dismissing not only explanations for the phenomenon but the phenomenon itself. Once she actually hears the time travel explanation, she's fine with that. She just didn't think there could be two of her.
*** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E3TooManyPinkiePies Too Many Pinkie Pies]]" Rainbow Dash dismissed Pinkie's explanation about how she duplicated herself with an eye-roll, despite being a pegasus, a friend with one of the greatest magicians of their time, and having just saved a magical crystal kingdom. Admittedly, this is probably because she just thought [[UnreliableNarrator Pinkie]] was [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} being Pinkie.]]
*** In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E14StrangerThanFanFiction Stranger Than Fan Fiction]]", Quibble Pants is dissatisfied with most of the Daring Do series because he finds the fantastical and action elements too farfetched, even though he's a talking pony in a HighFantasy setting where magic, monsters, ancient evils and epic adventures are common and easily observable events. Partially justified as they are, as far as he knew at the time, books of fiction.

* Children's cartoon ''WesternAnimation/NedsNewt'' had an example of this in the Halloween episode, when Ned is home alone and Frankenstein's monster suddenly shows up at his doorstep (in reality his uncle who's coming by to check on him. He's on his way to a Halloween party, and can't get off his costume on his own).

* Amusingly {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the "[[Recap/PhineasAndFerbSummerBelongsToYou Summer Belongs to You]]" episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', when Buford insists that it's impossible to travel around the world in order to have 24+ hours of continuous daylight.
-->'''Buford:''' There's nothing I have ever seen that would make me believe you could pull this off. Except for that time machine thing, oh and the roller coaster. But other than that, nothing! Oh, and the time you played that song and the platypus came back. Aw, man, nature just bends to your will, doesn't it?
** It's all but directly stated that he doesn't even really disbelieve, and is just pretending to to be a {{Jerkass}} and goad them into going through with it.

* In a ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' skit parodying the climax of ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', after Darth Vader tells Luke that he's his father and Luke dismisses it as impossible, he also has difficulty believing Vader when he says that Leia is Luke's sister, [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi the Empire will be defeated by ewoks]], and [[Film/ThePhantomMenace as a child he built C-3PO]]. [[TakeThat He then leaves when Vader explains that the Force is caused by midichlorians]].
* Misery from ''WesternAnimation/RubyGloom'' doesn't believe in monsters, despite regularly hanging out with a [[DemBones a talking skeleton,]] a {{Cyclops}}, a two-headed guy, and a talking bird. And she herself may actually be a banshee.
* The ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' cartoons have come to subvert this trope. While the gang will generally dismiss the belief that the MonsterOfTheWeek is real, despite most continuities having them encounter everything from [[WesternAnimation/The13GhostsOfScoobyDoo ghosts]] to [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheAlienInvaders aliens]] to [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooMysteryIncorporated even Mesopotamian gods]], they do keep the otherworldly/supernatural explanation on the table, in the rare case that no other possibility fits. This franchise is the TropeNamer for the ScoobyDooHoax, after all.
** In ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', Daphne still claims that she doesn't believe in ghosts despite the fact that a ghost hired her and her friends to help prevent his home from being destroyed. She was still glad to see that he was safe though.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', episode "Lisa the Skeptic", where Lisa is arguing against the authenticity of an angel skeleton and states that [[IfJesusThenAliens one who believes in angels might as well believe in such things as unicorns and leprechauns]], to which Kent Brockman replies "Everybody knows leprechauns are extinct!" She even tries to prove scientifically that the angel is a fraud but the tests come back as [[BlatantLies inconclusive]]. This episode comes off as downright bizarre given that it was in an era where Lisa still regularly displayed Christian beliefs. Added to that, angels are generally depicted as immortal, supernatural beings, and yet none of the believers in the town slightly doubt that one could die and leave behind a skeleton. [[spoiler:She's right in the end. When she asks the scientist why his test didn't prove it was a fake, he admits he never did the test.]]
** Other episodes show leprechauns and practically every other fantasy creature ''are real'', albeit they appear briefly as gags.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SofiaTheFirst: The Floating Palace'', nobody believes Sofia when she tells them that she met a mermaid. This can perhaps reasonably be excused for the ship's admiral, who has sailed the seventeen seas and never seen a mermaid in all his years of travel. Less understandable is the total unwilling disbelief of Sofia's entire family in a world where trolls, fairies and sorcery are all well-known to exist. In a later episode, Sofia's family minus James won't believe ghosts are real.
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''

** Also, when you really think about it, how can anyone in the ''South Park'' universe possibly be an atheist? Jesus, God, and Satan -- just for starters -- have all visited the town countless times, and even aside from that Jesus is a ''talk show host'' for crying out loud!

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'', in one of the episodes of the time-traveling last season, while in Scotland, Hefty sees a Nessie expy. All the other Smurfs, even Papa, react with laughter and skepticism of SeaSerpents. That is weird for creatures who know dragons, elves, goblins and, well, AllMythsAreTrue.

* In ''WesternAnimation/Super4'', Gene adamantly insists that ghosts don't exist in a world already including magic, fairies and dragons. Sure, their first two encounters were ScoobyDooHoax[=es=], but there are genuine ghosts too, including one prisoner of a vial in Alex's castle.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperheroSquadShow'' episode "Election of Evil", the Mayor of Superhero City at one point mentions something about [[ComicBook/SpiderMan a hero who gained powers from being bitten by a radioactive bug]]. Wolverine retorts that the Mayor is just making stuff up despite encountering equally implausible things like evil sorcerers and shape-shifting aliens.

* A couple of examples in ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'':

* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', when Cyborg admits to being scared of a BloodyMary {{Expy}}, the others laugh it off. When Cy angrily points out that [[HumanDemonHybrid Raven's dad is a demon]], she retorts that he doesn't waste time scaring kids. [[NoExceptYes Unless he's super bored]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'' most of the magical kingdom of Thundera outright dismisses [[LostTechnology technology]] as the stuff of [[OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions fairy tales]], and are likewise skeptical of the existence of the the magical GreatBigBookOfEverything the Book of Omens and EvilSorceror Mumm-Ra. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that Thundera is depicted as [[WallAroundTheWorld fairly isolated]], and their history has long ago [[LegendFadesToMyth fallen into myth]].

-->'''Jay:''' We know vampires aren't real! We're not silly kids! But...werewolves are a different story.

* In ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'', Laura Carrot and Junior Asparagus are at first suspicious of the talking Rumor Weed, like any schoolkids would be; the Rumor Weed points out, though, that "I'm a talking weed, you're a talking carrot..."

* In the ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' episode "Retreat", some hunters who have never heard of mutants nor the X-Men kidnap Beast after mistaking him for Bigfoot. His friends rescue him, showing off their powers to the hunters guarding him. When the hunters fearfully explain what happened to their returning comrades, they laugh at them, saying while they know Bigfoot is real, kids with superpowers is plain ridiculous.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers''

** Also, how can anyone in the ''South Park'' universe possibly be an atheist, considering the fact that Jesus, God, and Satan -- just for starters -- have all visited the town countless times? Jesus is a ''talk show host'' for crying out loud!
*** I mean, there's still people in real life who think the Earth is flat...

''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'': In the episode, "The Oracle", gumball tells his mother, Nicole, that he doesn't want to go to the mall because he saw 4 of Banana Barbara paintings that somehow predicted the future, including one where he is humilated on live-tv in the same mall, something that Nicole disbelieves but complies anyway. This is coming from the same woman who 1: lives in a town filled with living inanimate objects, 2: has a talking goldfish with legs as one of her sons, and 3: has a husband who can warp reality and destroy the universe..... by having a job. In her defense, Banana Barbara, and her whole family in general, has shown very little intelligence

* In a very similar example to the above, one episode of ''[[WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012 Ultimate Spider-Man]]'' had Spidey teaming up with Doctor Strange but not believing that anything that was happening was magic. He even invoked ClarkesThirdLaw as well. This was a bit more of a stretch since an earlier episode had Spider-Man teamed up with Thor and traveling to Asgard to fight Frost Giants and Loki and Thor getting [[ForcedTransformation turned into a frog]] with no skepticism at all on the web-slinger's part.
