* ''Fanfic/{{The Paragon|MiraculousLadybug}}'':
** The fic opens with Roger remarking on Chloé getting kidnapped by an akuma again. Knowing how common it happens on the show, you could hardly blame him.
** While at a Jagged Stone concert, Alya realized that there was a bomb behind the wall of pyrotechnics. Nathaniel lampshades her blasé reaction to it.
--->'''Alya:''' Well, you get used to it after hanging around Ladybug for so long.
** As Marinette, Tikki, and Plagg observe a Paris in ruins thanks to the Paragon, Tikki asks how Marinette's school is still open amid all this:
--->'''Marinette:''' We get hit by akuma attacks quite often so the students and teachers are probably used to things like this, even if the rest of the city isn't.
** The receptionist at the [=TVi=] studio directs Ladybug to "the usual place".
--->'''Plagg:''' Usual place?\\
'''Ladybug:''' Up that elevator and to the studio. All the villains do it. It's quite convenient, actually; I've gotten to know this building really well.

** As the show goes on, the crew get less and less fazed by the srange circumstances they face, or its potential ramifications on the timeline. Instead, they treat the events more and more like a regular 9-5.

Compare DullSurprise, FantasticallyIndifferent, OhNoNotAgain, PrescienceIsPredictable and TheAnticipator. See also SeenItAllSuicide and NothingLeftToDoButDie. Not to be confused with WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld. Beings that are ReallySevenHundredYearsOld or from the TimeAbyss have a high chance of having seen it all already. Often happens to a WeirdnessMagnet. Contrast IveNeverSeenAnythingLikeThisBefore and DidntSeeThatComing. Sister trope to ConditionedToAcceptHorror.

* Agent Simmons from the ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' movie. Optimus Prime even noted that they weren't surprised to see the Autobots, they just didn't expect them to show up. He ''does'' seem to be surprised at one thing in the sequel though: that Wheelie has been somehow "tamed" by Mikaela.

* Kup from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie'' and G1 TV series is a bit like this. He's always telling war stories of times that were like times like this (to Hot Rod's increasing irritation during the film)... until he sees [[PlanetEater Un]][[GeniusLoci ic]][[EldritchAbomination ron]] eating a planet and has to admit that he's never seen anything like it before. Justified in that Kup's an ancient veteran of the Cybertronian wars -- he's been all over the galaxy doing all kinds of stuff for ''at least'' 9-12 million years. [[TimeAbyss That's about 4 times longer than humanity has walked the Earth]].

* ''Series/BreakingBad'': Mike Ehrmantraut has been involved in the life of organized crime for so long that almost nothing fazes him. At one point, a chunk of his ear is shot off and his response is ''mild annoyance''. This makes the points where he ''is'' shocked, such as when Walter reveals he put a hit on Gale, all the more noticeable.

** When Hank is promoted to the El Paso division of the DEA, he is portrayed as a fish out of water and disliked by his coworkers. When they find their cartel informant has been decapitated and his rotting head mounted on a live tortoise as a message to the DEA (literally, as the tortoise has "HOLA DEA" written on its shell), Hank is horrified and struggles not to vomit at the gruesome sight, while the others laugh it off and make fun of his squeamishness. Then immediately subverted, when the El Paso officers go to retrieve the head and it EXPLODES due to a bomb hidden inside, taking several of the officers with it (Hank is unharmed simply because he retreated back to his truck to dry heave).

By the time the 17th girlfriend Kishika joins the group, her EmotionalRegression into infancy is taken in stride.

* ''Fanfic/TheSpectacularSpiderManLostInGotham'': When Spider-Man admits that he’s from another dimension, he’s surprised that Oracle and the other Bats immediately accept it. Oracle goes on to explain that, after all Batman’s done over the years, meeting a hero from another dimension is hardly anything new.

He's laughing to himself when he realizes that Hill and Coulson are doing the GoodCopBadCop routine, and says that they can't get him to talk; he knows everything that they'll try and throw at him.

* Sometime after the original generations of ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'', a dynamic has developed with the more experienced protagonists being a lot less shocked by crazy things than the newer ones who debuted in the current generation as of the time of the crazy things. While none of the veteran protagonists are outright apathetic to what is going on around them (Ash in particular is as happy to see a Pokemon he's seen before as a completely new one and is as interested in ComMons as he is OlympusMons), they will typically not be as stupefied when weird and amazing stuff happens as the current newer protagonists. An excellent example of this trend is seen in ''The Arceus Chronicles'' where Ash and Dawn calmly discuss seeing Arceus and the Lake Trio in a vision while Goh, who is much less experienced than them, freaks out.
