Real After All: Difference between revisions

* In what's probably the only appearance of the occult in the [[James Bond]] series, a voodoo henchman from ''Live and Let Die'' appears, laughing, ''riding the front of the train Bond is aboard'', even though he supposedly died when he fell into a coffin full of snakes earlier in the film.

* ''Lake of the Dead'': This Norwegian thriller revolves around a group of friends trying to solve an ancient mystery that involves an immortal crow leaving its feathers as calling cards. In the end a natural explanation has been found, but there is some disagreement about its feasibility. The protagonist insists that the solution is acceptable and nothing supernatural is involved, and to punctuate his words he picks up something from the table and waves it around...

* ''[[Pee Wee's Big Adventure|Pee Wees Big Adventure]]''. Be sure to tell'em Large Marge sent'cha!

** Possibly a parody of the song [[wikipedia:Phantom 309 (Red Sovine song)|Phantom 309]].

** "House on Possessed Hill": The Hardy Boys have supposedly dis-proven a haunted house. Final scene is the brothers driving by the house in their van; Frank is giving logical common-sense explanations for all the haunted phenomena. Cue Joe looking towards the house just as they drive away, in time to see a ghostly figure walk out of the house...which disappears when Frank stops the van to look.

* Spoofed in ''[[I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again|I'm Sorry Ill Read That Again]]'', when Tim has been telling the others a ghost story, and towards the end exaggerates it severely to give them a fright. After they've all left, fed up, Tim finishes the story, chuckling slightly...only for the lights to turn off as he's confronted with an ethereal voice. After he's run off, this exchange occurs:

'''David:''' ...Well, if it wasn't any of us...it must have been...''(dramatic music)'' ...somebody else! }}

* An episode of ''[[Jonas]]'' revolved around the ghost of a volunteer fire fight who swore he would return from the grave so that he could once again "volunteerily [sic] fight fires." He also loved chili and plaid socks. After the episode, we see Joe sitting in a chair narrating, like Kevin had been doing for most of the episode. The two start arguing about which has a better evil laugh, when they suddenly hear another evil laugh, and run. Turns out it was Nick, who was using a voice changer. He tells us there's no such thing as ghost, winks at us then leaves....and we hear the laugh again, and see a nearby bowl of chili get emptied after a voice says "oh, chili".

** In ''Scooby Doo on Zombie Island'', when faced with real supernatural events Freddy even goes into a state of denial, frantically trying to pull the zombie mask off of a very real zombie, until [[Nightmare Fuel|the whole head comes off]], at which point he tries to [[Flat Earth Atheist|argue that it was animatronic]].

* In "Rocko's Modern Life" there's a halloween episode were the main characters go to a cemetery to prove that a legendary ghost is just a legend, turns out that he is not only real but a nice guy that befriend the main character. And takes another twist when one year later the guys and the ghost are looking at pictures of the last year's halloween (most of them are pictures of the characters runing away.)then when they are leaving Filburt is scared at the last picture when he realizes that is a picture of all(5) the characters in that episode.

'''The rest of the characters:''' *Jaw drop* }}

 

* In one episode of ''[[Dont Eat The Neighbours]]'', Lucy ends up depressed after she learns that Old Father Bunny has not delivered the bicycle she wanted. So that night, the other adult male characters in the show get up onto the roof, each claiming to Lucy that they are Old Father Bunny and they have brought her the bike she wanted. The next morning Lucy has 7 bikes, but there were only 6 men up on the roof last night. She then finds a note attached to it from Old Father Bunny apologizing that it is a day late, but he and his elves were busy painting it into a multicolour one.

* In the ''[[ER]]'' episode "City Of Mercy", Morris unselfishly decides not to have a one night stand with a woman on Christmas Eve. Afterwards, walking outside, he begins mocking himself out loud for being sentimental and being affected by Christmas, finishing his rant by screaming "There's no freaking Santa!!" Immediately, a man calls to him, wishing him a merry Christmas, and as Morris turns around, sleigh bells suddenly jingle (it's left intentionally ambiguous whether they are just the soundtrack or actually audible in the show) and Morris freezes, staring at something in the sky right behind the camera.

* ''[[Family Matters]]'' did this, with Carl getting a space helmet he had wished for as a kid.

* In ''[[Home Improvement]]'' Wilson visited Mark as Santa Claus when he was told that Santa does not exist - or at least this was what Tim and Jill thought, as the REAL Wilson was revealed to be in his garden the whole time Santa was visiting.

* Hilariously subverted in an episode of ''[[The Tick]]'':

** The villain of the episode is a robbing Santa impersonator who has managed to clone himself. This confuses the Tick, who refuses to fight even when his fellow superheroes are viciously attacked by a dozen guys in Santa costumes:

'''Die Fledermaus''': Here's a clue: If he runs up and punches you in the stomach, HE'S PROBABLY NOT SANTA! }}

** Santa later appears, with a Elf Secret Service team, compulsively hands out gifts such as pencil sets, and tells the Tick to get a grip.
