--> "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

** Later Proton scoffs at the idea that an expert called in to deal with an alien invader knows more than his hard-won field experience. "I've come face-to-face with hundreds of species throughout the galaxy: floating brains, radiant energy beings, psychotic teddy bears, [[UranusIsShowing gaseous lifeforms from Uranus]], [[Franchise/{{Alien}} facehugging vaginas with acid for blood]]..."

* ''Film/GoodWillHunting'' has a speech like this except Maguire is using the speech to show Will that he isn't as smart as he thinks he is. Will has been arrogantly frustrating one therapist after another but Maguire tells him that all he has is book knowledge. "But you've never been inside the Sistine Chapel and smelled the mortar."

* PlayedForLaughs in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', where after opening up his own restaurant, Peter laments that he hopes he doesn't have one of those handicapped [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam vets]] who's missing both legs come into his store, before seeing one enter and acknowledging it happening.
-->'''Wheelchair-bound Vietnam Vet:''' I've seen some things man, and did some stuff. I wouldn't recommend it!

* ''Podcast/AcquisitionsIncorporated'': Creator/WillWheaton, playing Aeofel in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', puts an absurd situation involving ARareSentence into perspective by saying:

-> ''"Whatever anyone dares boast about—I am speaking as a fool—I also dare boast about. … I have worked much harder, been in prison more frequently, been flogged more severely, and been exposed to death again and again. Fives times I received from Jewish leaders the forty lashes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was pelted with stones, three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea, and in danger from false believers."''

* VideoGame/{{Starcraft}}: Zeratul to Aldaris, who's getting uppity with him:

But [[Film/TheExtraordinaryAdventuresOfMademoiselle Blanc-Sec Mad'moiselle Blanc-Sec]] won't return my calls.

But [[Creator/LucBesson Mad'moiselle Blanc-Sec]] won't return my calls.

* "Do Ya" by ElectricLightOrchestra has verses that are a good example of this, with the singer explaining how he's seen practically everything, but nothing like the woman he's singing to.

Sometimes used by someone who as SeenItAll.
