Line 44:
* Used several times in a row in an episode of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', when Nanami is trying to embarrass Anthy (and win Miki's affection) by planting weird stuff in her room. She envisions each ploy going off without a hitch, only to have them fail because Anthy is ''already'' keeping weird stuff in her room. And Miki finds it cute.
* Saitou Hajime of ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'': [[Memetic Badass]], [[Inspector Javert]], [[The Comically Serious]]... and master of the [[Imagine Spot]]. He makes the "If Kaoru → Tanuki and Megumi → Fox, then Misao → Weasel" in one and images a broom shooing away a rooster when Chou and Sanosuke get into an argument.
** In the anime, after Saitou casually drops the fact that he's married (and the manga has to add a [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer]]), there's an Imagine Spot of Saitou reclining on the statue of a [
* Often used in ''[[Paradise Kiss]]''. In one instance, Yukari pictures a [[Love Triangle]] as a [[Duel to The Death]] between {{spoiler|Tokumori}} as a samurai and {{spoiler|Arashi}} as a ''[[Lupin III]]'' pastiche, for the love of {{spoiler|Miwako}} as a schoolgirl in [[Sailor Fuku]]. She notes it's only natural {{spoiler|Arashi}} won, after all, he had a gun.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has quite a few, as well as a few Imagine Sketches from Haruna (or Nodoka's magic diary). In one notable instance, after Nodoka confesses to him, Negi imagines himself marrying her... ''without'' losing the [[Blank White Eyes]] he got from the revelation.
* In ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]'' (the manga), while Nobue is filling out a job application for one of the "zillions of 7-Elevens" in the area, the other girls contemplate what sorts of jobs they would want to get. The question is posed to Matsuri, and Miu imagines Matsuri in a few different kinds of jobs, coming up with the conclusion that Matsuri is not employable. When they consider the job of [
** This also happens in the corresponding anime sequence, except with Miu imagining a single job for Matsuri and Ana (Matsuri as a sweet potato woman (like an ice cream woman, but with sweet potatoes) and Ana as a ball girl at a tennis court.) As for tissue pack marketing, Miu and Chika acted it out in real life with the same level of success as Matsuri.
* In ''[[Macross Frontier]]'', Luca's brain [[media:slavehime.JPG|goes to town in not entirely worksafe ways]] when Sheryl casually declares Alto her slave. Makes you wonder [[Covert Pervert|what else goes on in his head]], considering Sheryl obviously meant slave in the menial labor-drone sense.
Line 148:
'''Jack:''' So am I. }}
* ''[[Dead Like Me]]'': George lets Mason take care of her dog. She then wonders if he's taking care of it properly or merely using it for some harebrained scheme. Like, say, attracting women, then sitting in a hot tub with the women and the dog. And then she forgets it never actually happened, so she scolds him for bringing her dog into a hot tub.
* Australian TV series ''30 Seconds'' has a slight variation on this; the main character, who works in commercials, sometimes has delusions that he's watching a commercial in real life. These seem to be [
* The ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' episode "200" is basically built out of this trope, including memorable segments such as "Children of the Gods" done with marionettes, Teal'c as a private investigator, ''SG-1'' cast with teenagers, and [[Ship Tease|a Sam/Jack wedding]] with a nod to [[Ho Yay|Jack/Daniel]].
* Used liberally in ''[[Mongrels]]'', for example [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IXpSPeECCA here at the 7-minute mark].
