* 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 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>
** But they say Jack "went mad from the heat", so anyone calling him mad may just have a point. Equally likely, he [[The Baroque Cycle|went mad from syphilis]]. Or possibly he went mad from syphilis but then got better from the heat. [[Overly Long Gag|He went mad from the heat and got better from syphilis?]]
** His madness is not always considered a bad thing, as seen in this exchange between Anamaria and Gibbs after Gibbs and Elizabeth have agreed on an unconventional battle plan:
{{quote|'''Anamaria:''' "You're daft, lady! You both are!"
Line 120 ⟶ 117:
** ''[[Dr. No]]'':
{{quote|'''Bond:''' World domination. Same old dream. Our asylums are full of people who think they're [[Napoleon Bonaparte]]. Or [[God]].}}
{{quote| '''Bond:''' (to Red Grant) Tell me, which lunatic asylum did they get you out of?}}
{{quote| '''Bond:''' Beautiful place Goldfinger has here.
'''[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Pussy]]:''' Yes, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
'''Bond:''' Too bad it all has to end tomorrow morning (turns and looks at her). He's quite mad, you know. }}
{{quote| '''007:''' You're crazy -- you're actually crazy!
'''Jimmy Bond:''' They called Einstein crazy!
Line 147 ⟶ 144:
'''Vinnie Ricorsco:''' You're crazy.
'''Jack Napier/The Joker:''' Haven't you heard of the healing power of laughter? ([[Laughing Mad|laughs]] while wiping his "skin" off to reveal a pale, clownlike skin underneath the forehead.) NOW GET OUTTA HERE!! }}
:* Batman himself gets a watered down version of this from Vicki:
{{quote|'''Vicki:''' I might have some trouble with that. A lot of people think you're as dangerous as the Joker.
'''Batman:''' He's psychotic.
'''Vicki:''' A lot of people say the same thing about you.
'''Batman:''' What people?
'''Vicki:''' I mean, let's face it. You're not exactly normal, are you?
''[death glare from Batman]''
'''Batman:''' It's not exactly a normal world, is it?}}
:* 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]].
* In ''[[Quest for Camelot]]'', this happens after Ruber reveals his plan to coerce Juliana into sneaking his band of marauders into Camelot.
