Line 131:
*** ''Ultimate Alien'' gives the impression at least that Gwen has both alien superpowers ''and'' magical abilities and simply doesn't know where to draw the line between them since they're similar.
* ''[[Winx Club]]'' dub, "Magical Reality Check": It's already bad enough that the would-be [[Author's Saving Throw]] (where Knut comes in and says that he couldn't find the herb ingredients that the Trix wanted for a potion) is placed in the ''middle'' of the episode (and not brought up again at the end where it would be relevant; [http://www.dailymotion.com/SpiderBraids/video/x2nypd_winx-club-comparisons-bloom-tested_fun this comparison] includes the throw), but it also raises the question, "Why do the Trix perform their plan to steal Bloom's powers ''after'' they're told that they lack the necessary ingredients?" (as well as "Why don't they bring ''that'' up when the plan fails?")
** And not only is the Throw placed mid-episode, it's buried so inconspicuously that [http://www.angelfire.com/la3/goldenroad15/episode10.htm this summary]{{Dead link}} for the ep doesn't even mention it, because the summary writer apparently missed that detail.
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "Don't Fear the Roofer", near the end. In the story, Homer gets his new friend Ray Magini to fix his roof. However, it is soon postulated that Ray doesn't actually exist, since all the people that were with Homer when he spoke to Ray claimed not have actually seen him. Thinking that Homer is delusional, his family takes him to the doctor, and after several treatments of painful therapy, Homer thinks he's back to sanity again. But then they find out that Ray was real all along, and that there were logical explanations as to why no one else saw him - except for one case where Bart couldn't see Ray even though he was in plain sight and he should have been able to. Guest star [[Stephen Hawking]] then shows up and delivers the trope - a miniature black hole had appeared between Bart and Ray that absorbed the light from Ray so Bart couldn't see him. There is no way to even start explaining all the problems with that theory.
** Of course, the whole thing comes so far out of left field that the only reasonable explanation is that it's [[Played for Laughs]].
