* In ''[[Code Geass]]'', at the end of the second series, the Black Knights turn on Lelouch because he obviously went completely nuts and successfully took over the world.
** Cornelia says this to Schneizel after he announces his plan to {{spoiler|nuke all of his enemies, not just Lelouch, into submission and calls himself a god.}}
** Schniezel says this to Charles in ''[[Nightmare of Nunnally]]'' as Charles {{spoiler|has him arrested as part of his plan to bring about his [[Assimilation Plot]]}}. Charles responds that in his view, the world is insane.
* Some mooks from ''[[Gun X Sword]]'' do this to The Claw. Ironically, their reasons for doing this are wrong.
* ''[[Hellsing]]'' has this, with a [[Church Militant|Catholic fundamentalist]] (who isn't much better himself) saying it to the Nazi [[Big Bad]]. His response? "If your God would allow my insanity to spread across the globe, then, wouldn't it seem you to that any God like that would be just as insane?"
* Sasuke says this to Itachi in ''[[Naruto]]''.
** As does Naruto himself to Gaara.

* In ''[[The Hobbit (animation)|The Hobbit]]'' (animated), Bilbo gives a [[Kirk Summation]] to Thorin who is possessed by [[Gold Fever]].
Line 88 ⟶ 87:
* In ''[[The Great Mouse Detective]]'', Ratigan gets this from a crutch-using old man who is not happy with the fact that one of the most notorious criminals in the country has been announced as the queen's royal consort and has announced a tax on the elderly and infirm, among other things. Ratigan responds by snatching the old man's crutch, saying "I have the power!" and breaking it in half.
* In ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'', the villains strangely love using this. Basically, they think Maurice is crazy just because he's a genius, and when he rants about a hideous, monstrous beast having "captured" his daughter Belle, they think he's just raving like a lunatic. Later, when Belle proves her father sane by showing everybody what the Beast looks like and telling them that he's changed to a kind and gentle soul, Gaston ponders how Belle could possibly fall in love with such a monster. Belle, of course, responds that the Beast isn't the one who's the monster - [[You Monster!|the real monster, as Belle points out, is none other than Gaston himself]]. Upon hearing that response, of course, Gaston just [[Villainous Breakdown|snaps]]. His response? "She's as crazy as her father!" Cue his resolve for everybody to kill the Beast and [[Villain Song|The Mob Song]] being played after that.

▲* Captain Jack Sparrow in the ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' trilogy gets this a lot. The most memorable instance was when he attempts to escape from Lord Beckett's ship in ''[[At Worlds End|At World's End]]'' by {{spoiler|blasting its mast down with a cannon and riding its rigging}} back to the ''Black Pearl''. When Beckett sees this, he tells Jack ''"You're mad!"'' To which Jack replies "Well, thank goodness for that, because if I wasn't, this would probably never work."<ref>In classic Sparrow fashion, it ''does'' work... and as revealed moments later, it worked without an ounce of rum in his system.</ref>

:* Note that Batman ''does not'' deny it.
* [[The Joker]] gets this again in ''[[The Dark Knight]]''. This time his reply is a very firm "No. I'm ''not''.", as this version of the Joker has a very clear and focused objective. Towards the end he more or less concedes that he might be crazy, but only as crazy as [[Not So Different|Batman himself]]. And Dent. And the army of lunatics [[Foreshadowing|he predicts will be joining them in the mad house]].

▲* A wonderful example in ''[[Mistborn]]'', as Clubs finally realizes that Kelsier didn't in fact bribe lord renaux, but instead simply had him killed and replaced with a [[The Face Stealer|kandra]].
{{quote| '''Clubs''': You genius! You bloody insane genius! You had him killed, didn't you?
'''Kelsier''': Both compliments are appreciated, and yes. }}
** It should be noted that everybody is ''constantly'' calling Kelsier insane. His plans generally take [[Crazy Enough to Work]] [[Up to Eleven]]. Another great example: quoth Yeden, "You're going to visit the Lord Ruler? Are you insa... right. I forgot."
* In the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] novel ''Shatterpoint'', Depa insists she hasn't gone insane but has instead "gone sane". Also inverted in that the ''hero'', Mace Windu, is often called insane—by his ''allies'', no less. Finally he snaps and delivers a paragraph-long speech, saying that others call him insane so they don't have to face up to their own immorality.
** More amusingly Nick, after exclaiming such whenever Windu proposes or does something that seems insane/crazy eventually just tells him to assume he's said it whenever he (Windu) says ''anything''.
* [[Dashiell Hammett]]'s ''The Dain Curse'' concludes with one of the most effective "You're insane"s in literature.
* [[Alex Rider]] says this to Herod Sayle, Dr. Grief, Sarov, Damian Cray, Julia Rothman, Nikolei Drevin and Winston Yu.
* In the ''[[Artemis Fowl]]'' short story "LEPrecon" Julius Root is tricked into a human settlement (which is magically forbidden by Fairy law) by his [[Cain and Abel|evil brother Turnball]], he calls him insane.
