* Happens during the [[{=Rifftrax=} riffing]] of PiratesOfTheCarribean

* In one episode of ''{{It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia}}'', Frank tries to pass off more than one story from John {{Rambo}}'s life as something that happened to him. No indication is given that he doesn't genuinely believe these things happened to him.

-->'''JD: I ''met'' your father!

[[ccaption-width:350:Ironically, this one probably did happen. But is still silly. ]]

[[caption-width:350:Why Dr. Bob Kelso hates bicycles. ...SoYeah. ]]

-->-- [[ThatGuyWithTheGlasses Chester A. Bum]], ''{{Up}} review''

* As the above quote indicates, Chester A. Bum of Bum Reviews has a lot of these. He will often talk about times in his life where crazy and outlandish scenes from the movies he saw were actually like things that happened to him. Expect the line "except, instead of (insert activity here), I just did drugs) to follow many of these statements.
* Another Doug Walker character, the AskThatGuy guy frequently makes claims of working for the devil, being a woman and multiple other activities that are simply BeyondTheImpossible. Usually, future episodes will feature him taking part in things that contradict the past ones.

Often a case of the NoodleIncident. Compare ManateeGag, BigLippedAlligatorMoment, and ImagineSpot.

* In ''AustinPowers'': International Man of Mystery, Dr. Evil describes his father as this.

* The entire history of the Janitor from {{Scrubs}}. If you think you know something about him, you don't, or it is disproven later and re-proven after that.

* Many of [[TheSimpsons Abe Simpson's]] ramblings fall under this.

Examples:

[[AC:{{Live Action Television}}]]

[[AC:{{Newspaper Comic}}]]

[[AC:{{Web Original}}]]

[[AC:{{Western Animation}}]]

* Pretty much every ManateeGag on ''FamilyGuy'' is one of these, where a character will say something like "This is just like when I..." before cutting away to a crazy situation that almost certainly couldn't've happened.

->Bart: ''Is that story true, Grampa?''
->Abe: ''Well, most of it. I did wear a dress for a period in the forties. Oh, they had designers then!''

ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin

-->Dr. Evil: He would make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark.

-->Milo: Tell me, Binkley, if you had your life to live over again, would you do everything the same? Would you have left home to join those Bohemian resistance fighters? Would you have married that Turkish leopard smuggler? Would you have spent those twenty years chasing white tigers in the mountains of Ceylon?

* Subverted and parodied in ''{{Futurama}}'', twice. In the episodes "Fry and the Slurm Factory" and "A Clockwork Origin", Professor Farnsworth is declared crazy and everything he has just said has been lunacy. In retaliation, he begins ranting and shouts "and he's my uncle" pointing to the much younger character, Fry. This is actually true, as Fry comes from the distant past and is Farnsworth's great great great great great uncle. However, nobody believes him, writing him off as nuts.
