Line 78:
* In ''[[A Hero (fan work)|A Hero]]'', a ''[[Doctor Who]]''/''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' crossover fanfic, Dalek Sec introduces himself like so: "I AM AN IM-PERIAL-IS-TIC SPACE NAZI."
* At one point in the ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' fic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5491874/7/Ghost_Zone_Experience Ghost Zone Experience]'', Maddie angrily tells Danny (when he's in his [[Secret Identity|ghost form]]) not to swipe their ghost hunting equipment (again). After [[Beat|a moment]], he cheekily replies with "Yes, mother."
* From the ''[[Naruto]]'' fic ''[[Yet again, with a little extra help]]'',
{{quote|"Yes Raikage-sama. While I was in Konoha, I met people who can travel between dimensions, [[Peggy Sue|several people who came back through time to prevent Armageddon]], more than half of the jinchuriki in the world, learned of a secret organization that wants to take over the elemental nations, and met the creator of all the known universes in existence. It was a very enlightening experience."}}
* In chapter 98 of ''[[Desperately Seeking Ranma]]'', "Chou" (not her real name) says in a conspiratorial manner in front of somebody that isn't in on her secret, "No one must know our secret identities. We must appear to be nothing but completely unremarkable and normal magical girls."
* During the time which in canon was when the Sailor Senshi didn't have their memories between the first and second seasons of ''Sailor Moon'', the protagonist of ''[[Isekai by Moonlight]]'' flat-out confesses to have worked with the magical girls... speaking specifically to one of those girls. (Once she gets her memories back later in the same chapter, she isn't amused.)

Line 168 ⟶ 170:
* Partially subverted in ''[[The Sword of Truth]]''. A nondescript man shows up at the Wizard's Keep and declares, "I am an assassin, sent by Emperor Jagang, to kill Richard Rahl. Could you direct me to him please?" As would probably happen in real life, the guards aren't sure whether to believe him or not, but they '''do''' assume that this guy is trouble somehow and treat him as a threat. The subversion is that his aim was to be taken prisoner and taken inside the Keep, which is what happens; at which point, he reveals that he is a wizard and starts kicking people's asses in an endeavour to do exactly what he said he would do. They beat him, but with difficulty.
* In Simon Hawke's ''[[Time Wars]]'' book ''The Zenda Vendetta'', one of the main characters is impersonating the protagonist of ''[[The Prisoner of Zenda]]'', who is supposed to be impersonating the kidnapped king of Ruritania. The king's fiancée comments that he's been acting strange and jokingly asks what he's done with the real king. The impostor replies, with perfect honesty, that the king has been locked up in Zenda Castle as part of a plot by his half-brother, and she tells him not to joke about something like that.
* In [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Stranger in
** Similarly, in ''[[Time Enough for Love]]'', Lazarus Long remarks that one of two ways to tell a lie artistically is to tell the truth in such a manner that no one actually believes you.
* In [[Mercedes Lackey]]'s ''Arrow's Fall'' (part of the [[Heralds of Valdemar|Valdemar series]]), the heroine Talia is imprisoned by the bad guys. When they learn the Valdemarans have found out their plans, they interrogate Talia as to how she informed them, and, aware that she will not be able to hold out under [[Cold-Blooded Torture]] indefinitely, she intentionally starts off by telling them a truth she knows they will not believe: "My [[Cool Horse|horse]] warned them."
