Line 303:
** In another episode, "Hungry Hungry Homer," Homer stumbles upon evidence that suggests that the Springfield Isotopes were going to be sold to Albuquerque. He attempts to alert the press, but by the time they go there, all the evidence is gone, leading them to believe that Homer was either lying or paranoid. He then orchestrates a food strike just to prove it. Eventually, he manages to stop the food strike when it as becoming clear that it was having bad effects on his health. Ironically, his quitting the food strike was also what caused him to be proved correct in his paranoia all along (as, thanks to a mistake in food changes, they ended up revealing that the foodstuff was of Albuquerque-style food, and they even sported the name "[[Defictionalization|Albuquerque]] [[wikipedia:Albuquerque Isotopes|Isotopes]].")
** In the episode "Beyond Blunderdome", the executives were not willing to allow the remake that Mel Gibson or Homer Simpson to be released, as they feared it would result in negative backlash. After reluctantly letting them release it, their fears proved to be very sound, with several people walking out of the movie in disgust after watching it.
** Implied in 'Halloween of Horror', Lisa gets terrified after being spooked at a scary theme park, she gets out [[The Dreaded|'Tailee']], a tail she holds on to for comfort. Homer and Marge are horrified she would stoop to it. However, after [[It Makes Sense in Context|being scared up the roof, Lisa sacrifices Tailee to use as a match to light up some fireworks, so other people can save them]]. Lisa gets over fear and Homer gleefully tells Marge they burned it. It looks like Homer and Marge were just over paranoid because they didn't want Lisa getting overly attached to it until...[[The End - or Is It?|the end]]. We see there's a small scrap of Tailee left and Maggie comes across it. Cue ''[[Not-So-Imaginary Friend|it magically regrowing
* ''[[Code Lyoko]]'': Waldo Schaeffer, alias Franz Hopper; changing his name was only the tip of the iceberg. His electronic diary was encrypted with code that would take years to crack, hidden in a train station locker whose key was hidden in his daughter's plushy which was in turn hidden in a crack of a wall in his house. And he created a ''[[Cyberspace|whole virtual world]]'' with the aim of hiding there with Aelita, out of danger from his pursuers. But hey, [[The Men in Black]] '''were''' after him, and they'd already kidnapped his wife.
* In ''[[Invader Zim]]'', Dib has the [[Cassandra Truth]] reputation going strong. But he's right—Zim, the main character, is indeed an evil alien bent on conquering humanity. What's more, whenever he's seen engaging in other paranormal studies (such as chasing a hairy kid he thinks is a baby Bigfoot), he continues to show much more awareness of the world around him than... well, the world around him. Maybe he'd be more credible if he stopped talking to himself.
