Strange Minds Think Alike: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[She Hulk]]'', She-Hulk and four other female superheroines suddenly find themselves trapped in an alternate dimension by a mysterious entity:

{{quote|'''Thundra:''' SHOW YOURSELF, COWARD! FACE THE UNFETTERED FISTS OF THUNDRA!

'''[[Fantastic Four|Sue Richards:]]''' I was just thinking that ... which scares me a little bit. }}

* ''Everyone'' who meets [[Batman]] comments on his height, it seems, usually to the effect of "I thought you'd be taller." (for the record, he's 6'2") This even extends to other members of the Bat-family, although it's often at least somewhat justified (Dick Grayson is a good four inches shorter than Bruce Wayne, so when he takes on the role of Batman it's obvious to anyone familiar with Batman that it's a different person; Tim Drake has his height remarked on in ''[[Young Justice (comics)|Young Justice]]'', but he's only about 14 and hasn't reached his full height yet). At this point, it's gone far beyond merely Strange Minds Think Alike to full-blown [[Running Gag]] territory.

** That's more a case of Al knowing that Wilson prized the mucus cup, so it would be the worst thing for him to lose.

* ''[[Red Dwarf]]'', "Back to Reality". Kryten discovers that he's actually Cybernautics Division cop Jake Bullet.

'''Secret Policeman''': "That's ''traffic control''."|{{spoiler|However the whole "Back to Reality" scenario is a collective hallucination of the Dwarfers caused by the despair squid, so it's really Kryten who's calling himself a traffic warden rather than a cowboy cop}}}}

** In "Back To Earth", the sci-fi shop owner is unphazed to have [[Refugee From TV Land|fictional characters]] walk into his shop, because reality incursions are very common this time of year (Rimmer: "Oh good, he's a nutter"). He phones the head of the Red Dwarf Fan Club for them and says "Yeah, reality incursion ... Yeah, that's what I said..."

'''Both simultaneously:''' Nah, it'd sink, wouldn't it. }}

* From the first season of ''[[Blackadder]]'', a messenger arrives with dire news:

'''[[Brian Blessed|KING RICHARD]]''': As I thought! }}

** In ''Blackadder Goes Forth'', Captain Blackadder, General Melchet ''and'' Field Marshall Haig all have the same idea to feign insanity: {{spoiler|Put your underpants on your head and stick a pencil up each nostril.}}

''yet later''

'''Strong Bad:''' Hey, The Cheat. We catch anything in the Death Hole today?

'''Strong Bad:'''What? There's no way he could've been in there. He moved away after fifth grade! }}

** The usage of "DNA Evidence" started out like this, but eventually became [[Arc Words]].

** From the same episode, Squidward asks the pirates what flavor pie it is, and three different pirates say "cherry" "apple" and "raspberry". Later, when the "pie" reaches Spongebob's lower intestine, Spongebob says "Something just hit my lower intestine. Tastes like...cherry...no maybe grape...blueberry?". Though possibly subverted in that he never ate the pie bomb at all.

** Also done in the episode where Spongebob runs rampant with Mermaid Man's shrink ray.

* Later, Spongebob asks Mermaidman*

'''Mermaid Man:''' Did you try setting it to wumbo? }}
