Line 419:
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' spoofed this with their famous line (in thick scottish accent): "Scorpio, you're mad!"
** And the equally memorable reply: "Hah, I wouldn't point fingers, you jerk!"
* In ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' it happens a lot, seeing as most of Batman's foes ''are'' insane:
* ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'':* Near the end of the 2-part episode ''The Demon's Quest'', Ra's al Ghul [[Just Between You and Me|lets Batman in on his master plan]] which will [[Omnicidal Maniac|result in the deaths of billions]], leading to the following exchange:
{{quote| '''Ra's:''' A most impressive plan, wouldn't you agree?
'''Batman:''' Yes... I can see it clearly now for the first time. ''([[Dramatic Pause]], giving Ra's the impression he's succeeding in recruiting Batman as his successor)'' You are completely out of your mind. }}
*:* Also a [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Funny Moments]] especially as this is ''Batman'' saying it, a man who's normally all grim and serious 24-7.
*:* In a later episode, Mr. Freeze has this response to Grant Walker's plan to freeze the entire world except for his own island. When a ''supervillain'' is the one doubting your sanity, you know you have problems. Better yet, an ice-obsessed villain saying this about a plan to freeze the world. Of course, this has a great deal of [[Fridge Brilliance]], pardon the pun. Freeze considers his condition a [[Fate Worse Than Death]], but Walker actually ''wants'' it, causing Freeze to regard him as mad. As Freeze himself tells him:
{{quote|'''Freeze:''' You want to be like this? Trapped in a world you can see but never touch? Old and infirm as you are, I would trade a thousand of my frozen years for your worst day.}}
*** Better yet, an ''ice-obsessed'' villain saying this about a plan to ''freeze the world''.
:** Freeze was on the other end of the line in his DCAU [[Batman and Mister Freeze Sub Zero|movie]].
:* The Joker of all people delivers this line regarding the Creeper:
{{quote|'''Joker:''' He's a lunatic!
:* Of course, the Joker himself gets this quite a lot, as while people already know he's loony, he can still boggle their minds;
:** In "Joker's Favor", Charlie Collins has lived in terror over what 'favor' Joker will have him, to the point of changing his name and moving across the country (To no avail), so he's a little thunderstruck that all Joker wants from him is to open a door and let Harley Quinn push a cake to Commissioner Gordon's dinner.
{{quote|'''Charlie:''' Wait, that's the favor? You called me out here just to open a door?
'''Joker:''' Well, look at the size of that cake, man! She can't open the door and push it in all at once! Think!
'''Charlie:''' (Aside) He's nuts...}}
:* He gets it from Harley too in "The Laughing Fish", after he tells her she can be his "little mermaid" and then gives her a ridiculous-looking fish costume.
* ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' example. [[Loud of War|Shriek]] is blackmailing Comissioner Gordon in exchange for Batman's life.
{{quote| '''Barbara:''' You're out of your mind.
