* The ''[[Dungeons
** It also plays with this trope with the spell Shadow Conjuration. It summons quasi-illusory monsters that are as powerful as the real thing if you believe they're real, and one-fifth damage if you don't.
*** And, like all things D&D, [[Game Breaker|it can be whored to ludicrous lengths]]. One prestige class specialises in shadow illusions. Layer enough "reality"-boosting effects, and you can [[Mind Screw|create illusions more real than reality]]. Cue humorous conversations:
Line 110:
** It's worth pointing out an additional detail of the [[Mage: The Ascension]] setting, which is that there is absolutely no difference between Science and Magic. Science is just Magic that most people believe in, and therefore everyone can use. The various 'Mystic' factions are trying to reverse this trend by getting people to believe in ''their'' path instead of Science. They're not having much luck with that.
* Also, ''[[Toon (game)|Toon]]''. Similar to the Wile E. Coyote example under cartoons, this RPG actually does allow your character to walk on air as long as you don't realize you're doing so. As soon as you [[Failed a Spot Check|make your spot check]], you fall.
* In ''[[Genius: The Transgression]]'', the inventions of [[Mad Scientist|Geniuses]] are literally powered by their creator's madness. If these creations are scrutinized by Muggles, these devices will stop working. [[Phlebotinum Breakdown|Of course]], [[Made of Explodium|that's the]] [[Instant AI, Just Add Water|best case]] [[
* In ''[[Macho Women with Guns]]'', the Batwinged Bimbos From Hell can learn the "Distort Reality" skill; when they are attacked, they can focus their attention on something else (their nails, a run in their stockings, a cloud, etc) and since they've forgotten the attack, it can't hit. It will instead target one of her allies, who might not appreciate the gesture.

* In his review of [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/community/myvideos/74334-thebanjokid/video/5112-Banjo+Kid+Reviews%3A+Azumanga+Daioh Azumanga Daioh], the [[The Banjo Kid|Banjo Kid]] muses over whether or not it's possible to expect to be disappointed, promptly [[Earthshattering Kaboom|causing the world to explode]].
* In [[Eddsworld]], the three main characters get a car and get it to fly by "using the Z-Gear of course". It goes up to very trippy music in which Edd and Tom start dancing in the car. Matt then shouts "how can a car fly?" It then falls down to land on top of a plane. This trope is then inverted when the pilot wonders [[Crowning Moment of Funny|whether his '''plane''' can fly]]. Then this continues and when the car gets there, several planes are now below them (each having doubted their flying capability).

* Old joke:
{{quote|Two men are standing on a skyscraper. Suddenly, the first one jumps down. The other one expects him to die horribly, but to his surprise, the first guy just bounces off the pavement, bounces a few more times, until he comes to rest. The second guy inquires how this is possible. The first guy explains: "[[Clap Your Hands If You Believe|It's all in your mind]]. You just have to think you're a rubber ball, and you will bounce just like a ball."
"And everyone can do that?"
"Yes, everyone, it's the easiest thing. Try it."
The second man is curious and really makes the jump. All the time while he's falling, he thinks "I'm a rubber ball, I'm a rubber ball".
Then, shortly before hitting the pavement: "But if I was a tomato?"
SMASH! }}
** Inversion Punchline: "You're such an asshole, [[Superman]]."
