Line 16:
Often there is a character around who could give weight to their claims, an authority to present their proof to who views with bemused indifference their ranting insistence that something is strange about the main character—a husband if the character is the neighbour, the school principal if they are a teacher, a more senior manager in a [[Work Com]]. Sometimes a [[Sidekick]] whom they [[The Drag Along|drag into helping them]]—usually an underling, such as a school janitor if or an intern—is also present.

== Anime ==
* ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'': Sayoko noticed how there is something off about Belldandy, and goes to great lengths to uncover her secret. Of course, since Belldandy is a Goddess who [[Can Not Tell a Lie]], she simply tells Sayoko the truth. Sayoko never believes her and continues her schemes.

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* Dib knows that Zim is an alien out to conquer Earth in ''[[Invader Zim]]''. Unfortunately, despite constantly trying, he can't convince anybody else (except his sister Gaz, but she doesn't care).
* Denzel Crocker of ''[[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]'' is constantly out to prove the existence of '''FAIRY GODPARENTS!'''.
* Hans Rotwood from ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]''. A teacher of the titular hero, he has an interest in supernatural creatures and is set on proving that Jake is one to the world once he has found out.
* Candace from ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'', the older sister of her two [[Child Prodigy]] brothers whose crazy inventions only she witnesses: by the time she fetches their mom, it always disappears by some crazy coincidence.
* Mandy from ''[[Totally Spies!]]'' has acted like this a few times, though the situation is usually solved by [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]. She is the [[Alpha Bitch]] in the main characters' class who seeks to cross them wherever she can.
* Lt. Mitch Kellaway in ''[[The Mask (film)|The Mask]]'' movie and the animated series is both this and the [[Inspector Javert]]. (Not so much in the movie where Stanley ''does'' do illegal things with the mask, such as robbing a bank (he just happened to do so just in front of the goons).)
* Every [[Animaniacs|Chicken Boo]] segment contains exactly one character who is aware that the titular character is in fact [[Phrase Catcher|A CHICKEN I TELL YOU! A GIANT CHICKEN!]] This guy/gal tends to get ridiculed throughout the episode (or sometimes kicked out) until Boo's masquerade is stripped away somehow. If the wolf-crier was sent away, he/she returns at this point to say, "I told you he was a giant chicken."
