You Can See Me?: Difference between revisions

'''Annie:''' You can see me!... Can you see me do that? ''(flaps arms)''|''[[Being Human]]'', pilot episode}}

 

* Happens a lot in ''[[Discworld]]'', especially when Death is seen by children (who lack a [[Weirdness Censor]]). And the wizards, who are specially trained to see what is really there.

** Played for humor in ''[[Discworld/Mort|Mort]]''.

* In Allison Croggon's ''The Books of Pellinor'' series, the main characters meet in the first chapter like this. The male lead Cadvan, a bard, is hiding under a glimmer spell that is supposed to make him invisible. He tries to find shelter in a stable at a slave settlement to rest, but the protagonist Mearad sees him because she too is a bard. Her having the Voice is the main reason she is taken with him when he leaves.

* ''[[Percy Jackson & the Olympians|Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'': Percy's quite surprised when Rachael can see both his sword and the skeletal warriors chasing him. Though the line is more "You can see them?"

* ''[[Looney Tunes]]'': Foghorn Leghorn rubs vanishing cream (which is just skin moisturizer) onto the naïve Chickenhawk, who heads over to the doghouse and starts gloating that "you can't fight what you can't see!" to the dog. The dog pulls out a mirror. Whoops.

* ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' (or rather, the Dr. Weird segment before an episode of the show proper) pulls this off to rather hilarious effect:

'''Dr. Weird:''' '''WHY NOT?!?!?!''' }}

* ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]''

** There's an interesting variation in another episode where they're dealing with a vampire that is blind and can only detect people through smell. At one point Jackie is trying to hide from him by holding his breath, only for the vampire to reveal that he has absorbed enough people's life forces to gain sight. Jackie quotes this trope verbatim.

* A variation in ''[[Invader Zim]]'': Zim gets a "Megadoomer" mech (by mistake), and stomps over to Dib's house; the Megadoomer makes itself invisible, but...

'''Zim:''' You dare agree with me?! Prepare to meet your horrible doom! }}

* ''[[South Park]]'': Only Butters will speak to Cartman after the other kids conspire to ignore him. Cartman thinks he's dead, and Butters is the only one that can see him.
