City of Weirdos	comment	This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. City of Weirdos is a Comedy Trope when people in a city idly dismiss unusual happenings and odd-looking strangers as part of metropolitan life. This joke is almost always invoked in large urban centers, where the everyday bustle and diverse population justifies such reactions—small towns can also be hotbeds of weirdness, but for different reasons. Unlike a Weirdness Censor or a Fisher Kingdom, the Invisible to Normals effect doesn't require any magic or Applied Phlebotinum to work—the jaded residents just don't care, since they've Seen It All already. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })New York City, Los Angeles/Hollywood, San Francisco, and Tokyo are especially popular targets, but it might also happen for folks living in a City of Adventure. Several explanations might be used for the trope. One is that the weird thing is mistaken for being All Part of the Show, Some Nutty Publicity Stunt, or another weird-but-not-extranormal thing. Another is that residents in the city have an exaggerated idea of normality, so occurrences like kaiju in Tokyo are no big deal. Another is simply the whole town has simply been Conditioned to Accept Horror. A joke-specific subtrope of Weirdness Censor. Also see Apathetic Citizens, Unusually Uninteresting Sight, Bystander Syndrome, Your Costume Needs Work, and For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself. For a miniature version of this trope, see Quirky Town. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Examples:

City of Weirdos / int_15c6ea11	comment	Wonder Woman (1942): When the Adjudicator appears in DC the passersby have an argument about whether or not he's real or just some kind of movie promotion, with one woman pointing out that a humanoid that tall is scientifically impossible. None of them seem surprised nor scared to learn the threatening giant was not a staged event when told so by a guard.

City of Weirdos / int_1b386512	comment	Fanfic about manga and anime tend to have Nerima and Minato wards as places where weird shit just happens - even if the two series that caused this are not involved, as shown in The Moon Flash Princess (a crossover between Sailor Moon and Sword Art Online, where one of the people imprisoned in Aincrad is used to everything because he's from Nerima and nobody bats a lash - and in the meantime, people from Minato have been so jaded about weird things that the best school in the ward (and one of the best in the entire country) having openly acknowledged Mad Scientists in the staff as little more than an oddity, as the Witches 5 are good as teachers (that, and nobody knows they're spearheading an Alien Invasion yet).

City of Weirdos / int_27777760	comment	It takes a lot for anyone to notice anything weird in Eureka, but that's possibly because "weird" is pretty normal for a town full of mad scientists. The citizens of Eureka notice the weird stuff; they've just gotten used to crazy situations. Lampshaded in the pilot when Lupo can't get through to Henry at first, Sheriff Cob waits until they hear an explosion and try again without changing expression. They relampshade this to emphasize how Carter is fitting in by him taking Cob's place in the same scene at the end.

City of Weirdos / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Oddly averted in Ankh-Morpork, mainly because anything that happens in the streets of the city counts as a spectator sport, and standing around watching interesting things is the public's favorite pastime and penetrating stares the city's chief export. So they only really notice strange things in as much as it's something interesting to watch for a few minutes before going on with their day. If it's worth watching for more than a few minutes 'Cut-me-own-throat' Dibbler will show up to sell his 'sausages inna bun!'. According to the Discworld Almanac, the God of Celestial Orbs and Geometries personally visits the publishers every year with the horoscopes, while surrounded by mystic weirdness like having the rays of the sun coming from his head, the crescent moon in one hand and his feet resting on a lion and a crocodile. And the only reason Morporkians stop to look at him in the street is the comedy value of the lion moving quicker than the crocodile.

He goes to the grocery store, the park, and walks down the street without anybody giving him a second thought. In fact, there were even kids swimming in his moat. There's also an episode where this is justified. The citizens of Townsville are so used to having the girls fighting giant monsters that when one goes on a rampage through the city (with no girls in sight) they walk around as if nothing's happening. One little kid even asks if he can TAKE THE MONSTER HOME.

City of Weirdos / int_5425ce75	comment	In the Grand Theft Auto series, you can generally walk around brandishing any weapon you want without drawing attention to yourself. In Grand Theft Auto IV this continues to be true with the exception of strip clubs and restaurants. Pull a gun there and the place goes nuts. Also, you can indulge in any amount of destruction and carnage, but people will walk past the wreckage without a curious glance. Blow up something and they'll flee in terror... for a few hundred yards, then they forget all about it. Even one of the official trailers for GTA4 has this where two cops walk past Niko and Packie ignoring the fact that both of them are wearing balaclavas and carrying AK-47s, all while another cop talks about fighting terrorism. Additionally, in Grand Theft Auto V (both Story Mode and Online), players can dress as dowdy or Stripperific as they like, and no one will bat an eyelid.

Spider-Man is treated as nothing more than a well-liked local celebrity who’s regularly seen swinging around the city. Objects from other realities spontaneously appearing in the street lead to bystanders asking if Banksy made them. Miles and Peter swinging through a busy street, crashing into everything around them, barely even earns a passing glance.

Upon arriving back in New York with his son, the stockbroker meets up with his colleague (Martin Short) in the airport - and the colleague at first does not notice the long-haired white boy in a loincloth standing next to his friend. Determined to get the colleague's attention, Mimi-Siku leaps over the railing of the moving walkway (unseen by either his father or the colleague), slips up behind the colleague, and grabs his arm. The colleague finally notices Mimi-Siku, but still doesn't seem to understand: he assumes that the kid is an environmental activist in costume, collecting donations to save the rain forest.

City of Weirdos / int_69fa7496	comment	Disney Ducks Comic Universe examples: Duckburg, due to the everything that happens there (to the point that in the story where Killmotor Hill collapsed the mayor was more worried about the loss in tourism and where to move the Money Bin than the people trapped in it when it went underground. Also, it wasn't the first time the Money Bin was swallowed by the ground), with the inhabitants being fazed only by the occasional Alien Invasion or the visits from Italian witch Magica de Spell (that always makes things weirder than usual). Naples has a small magical community living in its outskirts, of which Magica (who lives on the volcano) and Roberta the Technical Witch are the most important members-and they interact with normals so often that there are magic shops in the open in the city, and Magica's home is in the tourist routes for the most foolhardy visitors (as she's prone to turn them into frogs anyone who annoys her too much, and the locals don't care).

City of Weirdos / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Sigil, the City of Doors, from the Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting Planescape. To paraphrase and misquote one of the creators, it is the sort of city where cannibal halflings can open a tavern and hire a drow as bartender while an angel and a demon fight each other on the floor. No matter what strange people you encounter, you can always find stranger ones.

During the early stages of filming, the filmmakers were concerned that people would see the actors wandering through San Francisco and interfere with filming. As a test, they sent extras out in Starfleet uniforms to tour the city. Nobody noticed. This is lampshaded in the Voyager episode "Future's End": as an away team observe the wide variety of clothing styles in 1990s Los Angeles, Tuvok remarks, "We could've worn our Starfleet uniforms. I doubt if anyone would've noticed."

City of Weirdos / int_af2a147e	comment	In Enchanted, a Disney Princess (complete with singing animal friends, a big poofy ball-gown and an obsession with True Love's Kiss) is transported from her animated world of trolls and wicked stepmothers into the middle of Times Square. The reactions of Manhattanites fall into two categories: they either believe that she is some sort of performance artist or assume she is severely psychotic. This is especially evident in her first Real World interaction (for example, when a little person on the street curtly tells her to move out of the way, she mistakes him for Grumpy from Snow White; later that day she has her crown stolen by a homeless person). Another example of this trope is at the end of the film, when Queen Narsissa crashes a charity benefit called the King and Queen's Ball. She transforms into a dragon in front of hundreds of people and climbs to the top of the Woolworth building, then falls to her death and explodes into sparkles when she hits the ground. The people at the benefit comment on how the organizers "really went all-out on the floor-show this year."

City of Weirdos / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: In the revived series, London steadily develops this reputation — for instance, in "Voyage of the Damned", everyone's left London for the holidays, having realised that every Christmas it gets attacked by aliens. Also in the revived series, Cardiff firmly becomes this. By season 2 of Torchwood, an anthropomorphic alien fish high on cocaine and driving a stolen sports car, being followed by an all-black SUV with the word 'Torchwood' stencilled into it, the latter of which stops for directions, elicits no further comment other than "Bloody Torchwood." Referenced in "The Fires of Pompeii". Donna's worried about whether her modern clothing will attract attention in what they initially think is the city of Rome, but the Doctor dispels her fear: In "The Angels Take Manhattan", at least two Weeping Angels seen in the episode jump off their pedestals and run off unnoticed, despite being surrounded by commuting New Yorkers in broad daylight. Unfortunately, as the Doctor points out, this trope also makes New York City the perfect feeding ground for the Angels. "The Woman Who Fell to Earth": Police officer Yaz asks her boss if anyone's seen anything out of the ordinary, and he snarks that in Sheffield at night, everything is out of the ordinary.

And there are some Astro City residents with real superpowers who work as special effects consultants for an in-universe soap opera... about superheroes. And one of the soap's side characters is secretly a superhero because otherwise it wouldn't be realistic.

City of Weirdos / int_e2cb4c1	comment	In Doctor Strange stories, Doc can wander the streets of New York openly, in costume, because everyone takes him for a harmless quack. But when things get out of hand, characters will comment that they need to stop the [magical whatsit] soon, because even Greenwich Village is going to notice the [flaming headed monster/enormous dragon/giant rabbit].

City of Weirdos / int_ec564993	comment	Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Multiple: In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), Raphael runs into a stopped cab and rolls over the hood. In the second film, during Tokka and Rahzar's rampage. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, the boys are at a Knicks game (hiding in the scoreboard) and Mikey drops a slice of pizza onto the court. A visiting player steps on it, wondering where the Hell it came from. The referee just shrugs and says "Hey man, welcome to New York."

City of Weirdos / int_ecd87b9c	comment	In Turtles Forever, this trope is both played straight and subverted. The 1987 Turtles, transferred to the universe of their 2003 counterparts, walk around New York like they're a common sight, unaware of the pains the 2003 Turtles take to conceal themselves. People are surprised by this as would be expected. The trope is, however, played straight when the teams end up in the 1987 universe, where rampaging living bananas fighting mutant turtles don't even get a glance from residents. Similarly, the original Turtles cartoon took place in a city where giant humanoid turtles fighting an army of mooks, flying around town in a giant blimp, and regularly appearing on the local television news doesn't warrant much comment or outrage from the locals. This quote from the first series should sum it up well;

City of Weirdos / int_ef076a36	comment	Star Trek: Voyager: Lampshaded by Tuvok in the episode Future's End (where the crew ends up sent back in time to 1996). They carefully prepare contemporary clothing so as to not attract too much attention. Then, upon arriving in Los Angeles and seeing the people there, Tuvok says "We could have worn our Starfleet uniforms. I doubt anybody would have noticed." Demonstrated in the second part when the Doctor actually does wander around San Francisco in a Starfleet uniform and a local just assumes it's a leisure suit.

Even moreso with the forum game, where a few students fighting to the death during the middle of the class can, at times, be completely ignored. Sometimes averted, however. At which point, it becomes a group activity.

Not surprising when 60% of the citizens are mad scientists, and a good chunk of the rest are latents, henchmen, constructs and normal people from Mad families. Weird sights are so commonplace as to be more annoying than interesting.
