ShutUpScaryThing. If it is a musical that you are beholding but nobody in-universe finds it remotely odd to have people spontaneously break into song and dance at quasi-random intervals, see MusicalWorldHypotheses.

* ''[[WebVideo/LifeSMP Secret Life SMP]]'': By the premise of the series, each player is assigned a "secret task" from the Secret Keeper in each recording session, which they are encouraged to complete to receive extra hearts to combat the series' AntiRegeneration mechanism or material gifts usually unobtainable in the series (if they've reached the health cap). The activities assigned to each secret task can range from silly (e.g. making a bed shrine out of other players' beds or being TheNicknamer) to [[CerebusSyndrome eventually]], the serious (e.g. Red Life tasks that cause harm to other players). As early as Day 2, everyone is getting used to seeing strange behavior from their server-mates and as such they stop questioning it. This is mildly PlayedForDrama on Day 2 as Jimmy and Lizzie both fail their tasks and call out the server on this, as they both needed people to respond to their antics in certain ways (or at all), but never received a response.

** In "Fall Float Parade", Marzipan's only observation when Homsar appears to have duplicated himself is "Oh, and there's another Homsar." Of course, for [[RealityWarper Homsar]], that sort of stuff ''is'' that ordinary.
* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', when Karl the Deranged sends "galaxy's most deadly virus" with his letter and gaseous cloud starts enveloping the Throne Room, everyone present seems rather bored by this turn of events. Justified, as they're all unable to fall ill.

* ''WebVideo/BuzzfeedUnsolved'':
** In "The Creepy Murder in Room 1046", they frequently lampshade how many suspicious things (like a guy lying on the bed surrounded by a dark stain) are discounted by the hotel staff discount, who walk away with no comment.
** Shane posits that the Keddie killer got away clean because "in the 80s, you see someone running down a back road covered in blood, you just move on".

*** The citizens of Molossia (all ''five'' of them) treat an invasion and then a rebellion as this, simply going "Mmmm-hmmm!" and reading their magazines. The only time any of them showed any reaction was when they were freed, and it was still just a look up from the magazine and a confused "What?"
*** [[spoiler:After much pleading from others, Spoony finally gives into his inner madness and transforms into Dr. Insano. WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's reaction? "Oh hey! You gave into the madness, that's awesome," and turns back to his TV.]]
** Also from TGWTG, in WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's review of ''Film/MyPetMonster'', he criticizes the characters for acting nonchalant about how the protagonist keeps turning into a monster. The Critic then walks off, and comes across [[RealLifeRelative The Other Guy]] reading ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide''... and is a velociraptor. Both the Critic and The Other Guy act calmly about it. "I'm a dinosaur", indeed.
** Lampshaded by him in his He-Man and She-Ra Christmas special, when he points out that them transforming has become a common occurrence for the titular twins.
--->'''Critic!He-Man:''' Hi, sis. I have the power.
** Deconstructed in ''[[WebVideo/DemoReel The Review Must Go On]]'', as Karl completely ruins Donnie's hopes of everything being okay by having the same dinosaur head. The music freaks and the very normal Donnie looks he's going to break down crying.
** Another TGWTG example, Nash and Tara from WebVideo/WhatTheFuckIsWrongWithYou often point out how the strange stories they cover have gotten a bit mundane to them. They also point out how [[OnlyInFlorida Floridians are probably used to all the craziness that goes on there.]] Tara, being from Long Island, likes to say that New Yorkers are already used to their own craziness.
** [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]] sometimes complains about this trope in his comic reviews, where characters will act like someone flying or having super strength is nothing. [[RunningGag He often says]] "Be ''impressed'', dammit!" when this happens.
* In ''WebVideo/{{Cold}}'', none of the people attending the Queen's coronation are particularly interested when the Queen bursts into the room.
* Downplayed in the sixth and final episode of ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared''. [[spoiler:Red Guy takes off his clothes and walks on a stage to sing the Creativity Song, but the other Red Guys are more bothered by how bad the song is.]]
* A rare scary example occurs in ''WebVideo/MarbleHornets'' with Alex in Entry #46.

* This is how a lot of people react in ''WebVideo/PoohsAdventures''. Talking stuffed animals? Act like nothing. Living, breathing trains? Act like nothing.
* ''WebVideo/RatsSMP'': Most of the Icraga household treat the rats this way. When the Maid and the Mother find half the mischief of rats gathering on the library table having a CourtroomEpisode, their reaction is to literally ''walk away''. The Janitor is the only one who considers the rats an active threat to the Mansion, while the Eldest Daughter is a PunchClockVillain who doesn't mind them personally as long as they don't barge into her business or mess with her stuff, and the Grandmother is [[TokenGoodTeammate all-round friendly to them]].

* ''WebVideo/RosssGameDungeon'' uploaded a review of ''VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein 2009}}'' on AprilFoolsDay. The video is a normal review, except Ross used some sort of code or mod to give everyone in the game pumpkins for heads. He never comments on it once, but he does mention that getting headshots on enemies feels ''really'' satisfying for some reason that he can't figure out. At one point it ''looks'' like he's going to finally mention the pumpkins when he says he's going to "finally address the elephant in the room", but no, the elephant in the room is ''obviously'' the fact that lots of people requested him to review "Wolfenstein", and he knew they ''actually'' meant ''VideoGame/Wolfenstein3D'', but he decided to prank them by being LiteralMinded and reviewing the game just called "Wolfenstein". Then he goes on to complain about video games using the RecycledTitle trope.
* ''WebVideo/StampysLovelyWorld'': Stampy has a tendency to be unsettlingly calm at every new development that doesn't happen in a Hit The Target attack, whether it be the Helpers goofing off or [[ExploitedTrope his enemies building obvious mechanisms for their next evil scheme]].

He never questions why it owns a house in the woods and a mouse servant who can also speak. In fact, Jodel shows a bigger reaction to its ugliness than to everybody else.

* There is a joke which both [[SubvertedTrope subverts]] and [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this trope: One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read, "...and so the pig went up to the man with the wheel barrow full of straw and said, 'Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?'" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?" One little boy raised his hand and said, "I think he said [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome 'Holy shit! A talking pig!']]" The teacher was [[{{Corpsing}} unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.]]

* Creator/JoshWolf has a bit where he discusses the first time his daughter met his wife Beth. The previous night, Beth had been too tired to drive home, but Josh didn't want her first time meeting the kids to be in his bed, so she asked to sleep in the closet instead. The next morning, Josh's daughter Kaitlynn couldn't find her shoes, and when Josh told her to keep looking, she checked Josh's closet and found Beth, then returned to him saying "I still can't find my shoes and there's a stranger sleeping in your closet". Josh notes that if this was how she reacted to a stranger sleeping in his closet, she would never snitch on him for anything.
--> '''Josh''': Just out of curiosity, Kait, there's a stranger sleeping in my closet. That's the reaction I get?\\
'''Kaitlynn''': It's your closet, daddy, I don't know what happens in your closet.

* In ''Series/FraggleRock'''s postcards from Uncle Travelling Matt about his adventures in Outer Space, the "Silly Creatures" are generally portrayed as amused or confused by his misunderstanding of human customs, but not so much "Oh, my God! What even ''is'' that thing?" as you might expect, given that the existence of Fraggles is mostly unknown beyond the Rock.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'': Nobody in this otherwise carefully realistic neighborhood seems to find it at all odd that a beagle should be riding atop his doghouse dressed as a WWI Flying Ace, among many other things. Occasionally [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] when they ''do'' find his behaviour odd - just in passing - then continue on their merry way. It's possible the kids just figure he has doggy ADHD.

* The seven minute animatic ''WebAnimation/BabushkaTheMovie'' is an adaption of a round of ''VideoGame/AmongUs'' played by a famous group of streamers and Lets Players. Like the video game, a pair of impostors try to wipe out the crew of a space ship. Unlike the normal video game, the impostors get splashed and even covered with blood as they slaughter the crew one by one. Somehow nobody else seems to notice that or think it's worth noting.

An Unusually Uninteresting Sight is something that is blatantly unusual, yet nobody seems to take notice of it. It could be an odd costume, UnusualEars, an [[DidIJustSayThatOutLoud external monologue]], a visible weapon, or an animal that only vaguely resembles a normal one (such as a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom blue wolf wearing armor]]). For some reason, none of the bystanders take notice or comment on it.
