Line 8:
[[Schmuck Bait|You didn't listen]]. Damn you. Don't you know this knowledge was kept secret for a reason? [[You Are Not Ready|Your feeble, mortal minds cannot comprehend the vast complexity of what you are seeking to learn.]] Pray that [[Go Mad From the Revelation|complete madness]] is the worst consequence of your transgression. Just don't blame us. [[You Have Been Warned]].
 
If you still wish to go further, see the [[Sub -Trope|Sub Tropes]] below:
 
* [[Artifact of Doom]] -- Stuff Man Was Not Meant To Use.
Line 14:
* [[Eldritch Abomination]] -- Things Man Was Not Meant To Meet.
* [[Brown Note]] -- Stimuli Man Was Not Meant To Experience.
* [[The Future]] -- [[Post -Historical Trauma|Events]] Man [[Mad Oracle|Was Not]] [[Fainting Seer|Meant To Know]] [[Prescience Is Predictable|Ahead of Time]].
* [[You Cannot Grasp the True Form]] and [[Alien Geometries]] -- Things Man Was Not Meant To Comprehend Even After He Was Foolish Enough To Look At Them.
* [[Poke in The Third Eye]] -- Beings Man Was Not Meant To Scry.
Line 91:
** Also on B5, apparently nearly every sentient race has developed a dish almost identical to Swedish meatballs, when G'kar comments on this, his response is.
{{quote| "It is one of the great mysteries of the universe, that we will either never know the answer to, or which would drive you quite mad if you did."}}
* In ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'', the ''Final Five'' are treated like things Cylons are not meant to know. D'Anna Biers grows an obsession with them, repeatedly committing suicide to glimpse into the place between life and death in a quest to find out about them. When she finally does get a glimpse, it results with her suffering from [[Psychic Nosebleed]], followed by death.
** Possibly subverted though. The ''Final Five'' were rendered things-Cylons-are-not-meant-to-know because {{spoiler|Model One/Cavil}} made them so. Their origins are far more mundane than the Cylons think.
* Donna suffers the brown note variety in [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]] when her conscious is merged with the doctor's. 900+ years of time lord knowledge and experience shoved into her human brain nearly kills her.
* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' had "The Funniest Joke In The World" sketch; about a man who wrote a joke so hilarious, everyone who read or heard it died. It goes without saying that it was [[Hilarity Ensues|played for (fortunately non-lethal) laughs]].
