Do we have a trope for when one character questions where some (usually ridiculous) idea or situation came from and another gives them the specific work of fiction it was lifted from? For example, in Jewel of the Nile Jack asks who could have come up with the sick death trap they're caught in and Joan informs him it came from one of her novels.
