This is when someone, usually an Insufferable Imbecile, The Ditz or the Cloudcuckoolander, is ignorant, confused, or ill-informed enough to lump "things that are well known to be real" in with "things that are made up." This is often applied to ethnic groups, but can also include historical characters, countries, and animals.
Essentially, Arbitrary Skepticism applied to real things, likely by someone who Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality, an in-universe occurrence of Aluminum Christmas Trees. The name of the trope comes from the tendency of average Europeans in the 19th Century to not believe the tales which Arctic explorers brought back about the Inuit peoples. This was because said tales sounded a lot like those which explorers of earlier eras had told, which then turned out not to be true in the slightest.
A Sub-Trope of Reality Is Unrealistic. A Sister Trope to Global Ignorance and Flat-Earth Atheist. Compare Legend Fades to Myth, when something that was once considered common knowledge is distorted by the passage of time to the point that it can no longer be believed with 100% certainty. Contrast Faeries Don't Believe in Humans, Either. Not to be confused with Canada Does Not Exist.

In Episodes, a group of Hollywood TV executives discuss a potential premise for their network's vampire style show. Many ideas are mentioned, culminating in Myra recommending the paranormal creatures in their show should be Gypsies. She recommends it twice, before somebody tells her that Gypsies are real.

Hal in Megamind says this while mocking Roxanne's idealism: "There is no Easter Bunny, there is no Tooth Fairy, and there is no Queen of England!" note He's technically right: There hasn't been a monarch of England since the Acts of Union 1707 united England and Scotland to form Great Britain. Currently, the title is Queen (Or King) of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

In "An Octopus Hug" from The Pajanimals, when the Pajanimals find a picture of an octopus in a picture book, they marvel at its many legs and large eyes. All except for Sweetpea Sue, who seems like she would be worried except for the fact that, as she says, "Octopuses aren't real, are they?" They tell her that they are, in fact, real and she becomes genuinely worried, so they take her into the ocean to meet a real octopus named Elle.

Get Fuzzy:
In a Christmas strip where Satchel is waiting for Santa, Rob tells him that Santa is probably flying over Canada at the moment. Bucky claims that there is no such place as Canada, saying, "So you see a couple of flannel-wearing hockey fans that mispronounce the word 'offense' and you automatically believe there's some other country? Next you'll tell me you pay taxes." Rob replies that he does indeed pay his taxes.
When Rob decides to try out a new recipe for Belgian ale, Satchel says, "I thought Belgium was a made-up place, like Hobbiton or Hoboken."
Bucky tries to tell Satchel that Hawaii is a myth, like "tough liberals or the Canadian Army". When Rob informed him otherwise, he reacted with genuine surprise, "It is?? Then why the %*(# DON'T WE LIVE THERE?"
There's also the time after Satchel's game show, where Bucky states how he believes the Harry Potter books to be lies. When Rob questions whether he is "breaking the story that magic doesn't exist," Bucky responds with "What? No, magic exists, I saw a thing on TV. But trains?... Owls?... ENGLAND? Nice try, I'm not buyin' it." Cue two-hour argument between Rob and Bucky over the existence of England (Canada and Greece, too).
In a later strip, Bucky again claims that owls are a myth, like Abominable Snowmen or Southern Democrats.
Another strip has Satchel wishing Bucky a good Saturday morning, to which Bucky replies that Saturdays are made up by greeting card companies to make money.

The Simpsons:
Homer does it in "Treehouse of Horror IV":
In "Bart Sells His Soul", Bart refers to Michael Jackson on a list of fictional things adults make up to scare children. Interestingly, in an earlier episode Bart was a big Michael Jackson fan.
In "Lisa the Skeptic", after discovering a skeleton of what looks like an angel, Lisa postulates via Imagine Spot that it may be a Neanderthal who had been attacked by two big fish biting each of his arms simultaneously.
In "Homer vs. the 18th Amendment", Homer dismisses prohibition as something that happened in the movies.
Combined with Girlfriend in Canada in another episode. At an ice-skating event, Moe insists that all figure skaters are gay. Professional ice-skater Elvis Stojko points out that this is a common misconception as he has a girlfriend in Vancouver, to which Moe retorts, "Made up girlfriend, made up city."
When Homer reads a bird watchers' guide, he's surprised to learn that roadrunners are real.
In "The Great Money Caper" Marge gets drunk on a Long Island Ice Tea and remarks:
Principal Skinner once got in trouble for refusing to give a Jewish student the day off because he thought Yom Kippur was a made-up holiday.
When Lisa scolds Homer that ham, bacon, and pork all come from the same animal he mockingly responds "oh yes Lisa, a wonderful, magical animal."

Reddit:
There's an infamous post by a person who grew up believing that Finland isn't a real country, explaining that his parents convinced him that Finland was just an elaborate conspiracy created by Japan to get around fishing regulations. The post eventually led to the creation of an entire (satirical) subreddit dedicated to exposing the "Finland conspiracy".
A similar internet joke says that Australia was made up by British colonists to cover up their mass murder of unwanted convicts by dumping them in an empty stretch of the Pacific rather than sending them to a remote penal colony.
The very tongue-in-cheek subreddit Giraffes Don't Exist is a parody of this trope. It's filled with claims that giraffes are actually Photoshopped or dyed horses, or automatons created by the government to support the "giraffe agenda".
A sadder example also comes from Reddit where a woman kicked a baby wallaby because she was a Flat Earther and thought the baby was a robot to hide the fact Australia didn't exist.

In Back to the Future, Goldie Wilson was working as a simple busboy in a diner, and when he gets the idea to be mayor, the owner Lou scoffs at the idea of a "colored mayor." There had been a number of African-American mayors prior to the film's story line (not that a guy like Lou would be expected to know), but they numbered less than a half dozen, and were in charge of small rural towns; it was not until the 1960s that an African American was elected mayor in a city. note Carl Stokes in Cleveland (1967), in case you're curious.

There's also the time after Satchel's game show, where Bucky states how he believes the Harry Potter books to be lies. When Rob questions whether he is "breaking the story that magic doesn't exist," Bucky responds with "What? No, magic exists, I saw a thing on TV. But trains?... Owls?... ENGLAND? Nice try, I'm not buyin' it." Cue two-hour argument between Rob and Bucky over the existence of England (Canada and Greece, too).

SCP Foundation:
SCP-1173 may or may not be be an example of this depending on how you interpret it. It either is a phenomenon that makes people think that a real country called The Islamic Republic of Eastern Samothrace doesn't exist, or it is a phenomenon that makes people think an imaginary country called The Islamic Republic of Eastern Samothrace does exist. The Foundation leadership is evenly split on the issue, and both sides have drugs that will cure the effect (or cause it if the other side is right).
SCP-4006 posits that everything we know about the state of Massachussets may be a lie. Somehow, a series of coincidences and accidents caused everybody who ever thought they had been to Massachusetts to actually have been lost somewhere else without realizing it, until the Foundation discovered this and decided to construct a fake Massachusetts in the same place everyone believed it was and it effectively became the real thing when normal people started moving there without realizing anything had changed.
A similar SCP was a series of coincidences that caused everyone in the Foundation to be be unaware of the existence of Yellowstone National Park. The effect was only broken when a Foundation agent went to an alternate universe and heard about Yellowstone there, as was surprised to find out that Yellowstone also existed in his own universe but nobody else in the Foundation had heard of it either.

In year 2 of Azumanga Daioh, Tomo reveals that she doesn't believe that reindeer exist. Naturally, the way Tomo's disbelief in reindeer came up is that the girls had just been discussing Santa Claus. Kagura then asks if reindeer are real, and Tomo proceeds to laugh at her and say they don't exist.note This misconception is somewhat common in reality, as real-life reindeer are more frequently known as caribou, leading children to associate "reindeer" with the kind that fly in the air. When Chiyo, Sakaki, and Osaka all confirm that reindeer are indeed real, Tomo freaks out and tries to reassure everyone that she's not stupid.

There is a Darwin Awards Honorable Mention for a British soldier in Canada, who leapt over a fence clearly signposted with instructions to keep out because of the buffaloes, despite the begging from everyone else there not to do it, because he was convinced that American buffalo don't exist. He probably misinterpreted the common meme that American buffalo aren't buffalo (they are in the same genus as European bison), as meaning that the animals in question don't exist.note Of course, American buffalo are buffalo, since that's what they're called in most of their range and scientists use binomial nomenclature to avoid any ambiguity. They actually have far more right to the name than Eurasian water-buffalo do — French explorers in the New World independently named the large bovines they found "big ox", just like Portuguese explorers in Africa 50 years earlier did; the Eurasian water-buffalo is no more closely related to African buffalo than American bison are, but unlike the American one it wasn't independently named, it was named after the African one. It ended extremely badly for him, although non-fatally.

The Venture Brothers:
In "Ghosts of the Sargasso" Hank speculates that if pirates are real, Santa and the Tooth Fairy could be real. Brock points out that no-one said pirates weren't real.
A possible example is when Dr. Venture denies the Monarch's claim that if he dumped them in a river, fish called candiru would crawl up their pee-holes. It's not entirely clear if Venture is saying candiru themselves don't exist (they do), or just saying the idea of them crawling into a human's bodily orifice is a myth (which it is).

The documentary Life, Animated relates the real-life story of a child with High-Functioning Autism who basically used the Disney Animated Canon as a Translator Buddy between himself and the rest of the world. At the time the movie was made, the child had become an adult in a relationship, and his older brother was interviewed wondering how he's supposed to use Disney movies to give him The Talk. At some point he mentions the concept of "Disney Porn" as if he finds it unlikely to exist. Two words: Rule 34.

Steven Universe: In "Your Mother and Mine", Fluorite, one of the Off-Colors, seems to think that Rose Quartz was some kind of urban legend, commenting that she "isn't real." She's kind of right, since the Rose Quartz shown to the audience was actually Pink Diamond.

Phineas and Ferb:
Buford insists that cowboys are fake, and asks the other characters if they've ever seen one. They all get looks of amazement on their faces as they realize that they haven't — even though, in point of fact, they had been cowboys in one episode. It was All Just a Dream instead of a Series Continuity Error, though.

Joey and Chandler are both interested in a visiting Dutch woman. Chandler gets an edge by "guessing" that Dutch people come from somewhere near the Netherlands (the place they really come from). Joey responds, "Nice try. See, the Netherlands are this make-believe place where Peter Pan and Tinkerbell come from", apparently having confused the Netherlands with Neverland.

She dropped it into a tub of water.. Greg mocks her for believing such a thing could exist. Oddly, she claims that high-diving acts are only practiced in the American South, which probably didn't do her credibility any favours.

One episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 had Crow do an entire presentation claiming that women don't really exist. Mike pointed out that Crow knows Pearl, causing Crow to concede that one woman exists. Mike then gets stumped when he's asked to show evidence of even one other woman. note Crow and Mike are a robot and a man living isolated on a satellite with other robots — Pearl is the only woman they have any consistent interaction with, and that's usually not in person. Whether a female-identified robot like Gypsy counts as a woman is up for debate.

In "Something's Fishy", a giant squid is treated as a mythical creature...until one actually shows up. Possibly a reference to the fact that the giant squid used to be considered a cryptid, and scientific evidence only started emerging in the past century or so. A giant squid was not photographed alive until 2004.

Peanuts: Lucy Van Pelt once spent several strips mocking Charlie Brown for telling her that birds fly south for the winter: "In all my life, Charlie Brown, I have never met anyone with an imagination like yours!" When Chuck insisted, and also added that they fly north during the summer, Lucy sarcastically retorted that they must fly east during the spring and west during the fall. Then she pressed the issue further with "Chickens are birds, aren't they?! You never see a chicken flying south for the winter, do you?! CHICKENS ARE BIRDS, AREN'T THEY?!" Eventually Lucy learned (from a third party) that Charlie Brown was right about (some) birds flying south for the winter, and had to eat crow.

Welcome to Night Vale:
The majority of the townsfolk, at the urging of the secret police, do not believe in mountains. (This is often mentioned in the same breath as the similar disbelief by fiat in angels, which if anything is even more absurd, since a given resident will far more often encounter angels than mountains.)
In "A Memory Of Europe", Trish Hidge asserts that the sky and eggs weren't real, in order to practice her denial skills, "which she said she must always keep sharp and which don't exist."
The City Council attempts to cover up a traffic jam in "The Drawbridge" by denying the existence of cars.
Similarly, "The Lights in Radon Canyon", the City Council deny being Pink Floyd fans by claiming that Pink Floyd never actually existed.

In Team Fortress 2, the Soldier may taunt the Demoman by saying "Scotland is not a real country! You are an Englishman in a dress!" While he could be referring to how Scotland is governed as part of the United Kingdom instead of a sovereign state (although it is still technically considered a different country), it took Soldier several years to figure out he was in Poland instead of Germany, making this trope much more likely (besides, he would be less wrong if he called the Demoman a Brit in a dress). One comic also indicates that he doesn't believe in blood types.

Ultimately, this leads to him going off to a Dinosaur Forest in the West Coast to "prove" they don't exist.

In Central Park, Season 2 "Of Course You Realize This Means Ward", when Bitsy can't remember the names of a trio of dogs her family used to own when she was a kid, she only knows the names are based around a group of three things. Helen tries guessing three of the Marx Brothers (Harpo, Chico, & Groucho), three types of cheese (cheddar, swiss, & gouda), and the band Earth, Wind & Fire; Bitsy thinks those names are stupid and asks Helen if she made those up.

In The Silver Chair, the Lady of the Green Kirtle claims not to believe in lions or any other aspect of the outside world. She's lying, but she nearly bewitches the overlanders into agreeing with her. (This is a typical C. S. Lewis allegory; in order to describe Narnia to the Lady, they have to do so in terms of things that she does accept the existence of, allowing her to dismiss it with "So you made up a bigger version of a cat, and called it a lion", in the same way as heaven can only be described in terms of the mortal world.)

In the Austin & Ally and Jessie crossover Austin & Jessie & Ally: All Star New Year, it's revealed that Dez thinks zebras aren't real. He even convinced Austin of this, despite Ally pointing out that zebras exist.

How I Met Your Mother:
On an episode, Robin believed that the North Pole and reindeer were made up. This is especially weird considering where she's from.note Reindeer are native to Canada (though usually called caribou — the term reindeer is used for the Scandinavian and Siberian populations), and the magnetic north pole is under the Canadian Northern Archipelago. The geographical North Pole is claimed by several countries including Canada, US, Norway, Denmark, and Russia.
In a later episode, Robin's boyfriend Nick reveals that he thought gypsies "were just made up, like goblins, or trolls, or dolphins."

In Legends of Tomorrow, Vixen considers ninjas to be completely fictional. Granted, the pop culture versions are inaccurate, but they really did exist. She later admits she's wrong when the group time travels to Feudal Japan and they encounter ninjas and samurai. Her skepticism is somewhat justified, as she is from 1942, and while there were plenty of Japanese films featuring ninjas, the concept had not yet exploded into foreign popular culture.

The Muppets (2011): After Gary warns Walter not to get his hopes up about actually meeting Kermit on their trip because Muppet Studios is only used for tours, Walter responds "I think that's just an internet rumour. Like that there's a country called Turkey." Gary's reaction shows this isn't the first time Walter had made that mistake.

Played for bleak tenderness, rather than comedy, in the Daisy Owl strip "Cooper's Bad Dream", where Daisy has this to say while comforting Cooper over a nightmare about the emptiness after existence and how fleeting life is... and also involved a skeleton.

IMDb:
In one discussion, a poster was astonished to discover that MacGyver was an actual show, having assumed that it was something invented for The Simpsons.
Similarly, The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer has been assumed to have been made up by Clerks: The Animated Series — as seen in the DVD-R Hell review, an IMDb user posted a thread asking "This is real??", to which Brad Jones replied, "Yes, it is real, and we let it go to air."

Friends:
Joey and Chandler are both interested in a visiting Dutch woman. Chandler gets an edge by "guessing" that Dutch people come from somewhere near the Netherlands (the place they really come from). Joey responds, "Nice try. See, the Netherlands are this make-believe place where Peter Pan and Tinkerbell come from", apparently having confused the Netherlands with Neverland.
When Chandler claims that he's moving to Yemen to get rid of Janice, Joey says "'Yemen,' that actually sounds like a real country!"
When Ross becomes obsessed with naming all 50 states, Joey looks at his list and says: "First of all, Utah? Dude, you can't just make stuff up!" And that one comes after Joey lists 56 states, including New England and South Oregon.
And the one when Joey and Chandler are fighting over the name of Phoebe's baby.
