A fourth wall-breaking gag in which one character is inexplicably able to see another character's Imagine Spot or other Fantasy Sequence, taking the perspective of the audience and reacting to specific details that they shouldn't be able to guess. Telepaths are cheaters, so they don't count. Medium Awareness helps.
See also Did I Just Say That Out Loud?, Strange Minds Think Alike, Dirty Mind-Reading. Contrast Inner Thoughts, Outsider Puzzlement, where a character can't see another character's Imagine Spot or Inner Monologue, but does see that they're weirdly spaced out and acting weird because of it.

In the Sherlock Christmas special "The Abominable Bride", when Lestrade recounts the events of the reported shootings, Sherlock, John and Mary seem to be viewing the events with him. Played with by having the Baker Street room appear to be transplanted into both scenes. Subverted when the events in 1895 are revealed to be entirely within Sherlock's mind.

It appears to be the norm on That '70s Show; even though this show has no other forms of Breaking the Fourth Wall, other characters will still comment on someone else's Imagine Spot fantasy, or make one of their own with modifications, talking as if they are seeing the same Imagine Spot that we the viewers saw. (This seems to be a feature of their times hanging out in the circle; maybe it's an effect of smoking weed?)

The Simpsons:
In "And Maggie Makes Three", at one point Bart takes over and claims that Homer got so scared his head exploded. After Homer gets back to telling the story himself, Marge notices that he was imagining himself without a head and that he should have weighed a few more pounds.
In "E Pluribus Wiggum", Lisa says, "I feel like I'm in a think tank," leading Homer into a surprisingly accurate vision of policy discussion. When he comes out of the reverie, the other Simpsons are staring at him and he says, "What, I'm not allowed to get one right?"
And again, Bart imagines having a "Moon Party in Outer Space", complete with a theme song. After he comes out of the daydream, Homer walks into the room and starts singing the song.
Subverted in "Kill Gil, Volumes 1 & 2". Marge starts a flashback sequence during a conversation with Homer but when she finishes, Homer is clueless as to what she was thinking, meaning she was only thinking it and not explaining it.
In "Throw Grandpa from the Dane", Lisa has an elaborate fantasy sequence about dating the Prince of Denmark and eventually marrying him, only for Bart to show up, dressed as a ninja, and stop an assassin who was taking aim at Lisa.
In "Highway to Well", Bart breaks up Homer's thought cloud before his Imagine Spot about working at a liquor store could properly start, wanting Homer to focus on the conversation about Marge becoming a marijuana saleswoman.
In "Three Men And A Comic Book", after Bart is told to earn the money to earn the comic, he begins to have an Inner Monologue like Kevin from The Wonder Years until Homer tells him to stop it.
In "Lisa Gets An 'A'", Lisa imagines that an F in second grade will keep her from getting accepted from every Ivy League school (except for Brown University), leaving her to say "No, not Brown, Brown, Brown..." until Miss Hoover interrupts her, saying "Lisa, you're saying 'Brown' an awful lot. Are you okay?".

After the sequence ends, Sam remarks "I really doubt balloons would rain down."

While he's doing so, we see him walking around his subject and observing them. In the end, Kris figures out what he's doing.

In the first episode of Excel♡Saga, Excel is in an ambulance after being hit by a truck. We see scenes from her life, and one of the EMTs in the ambulance says something like, "Uh oh. Her life is flashing before her eyes. That's a bad sign." The Japanese dub was something along the lines of "You've got so much more to live for, like love — oh wait, you've already done that. Never mind." after he notices the flashback.

Mickey Mouse: In "Duck the Halls", Mickey triggers a flashback about spending Christmas with his family, which fascinates Donald into wanting to stay for Christmas instead of going south. Daisy gives an "Ahem" to Mickey to alert him he's tempting Donald, so he pops the thought bubble the flashback is in, causing everything in it, including the house and snow, to drop on the floor.

This happens to Ken from Student Council's Discretion, who follows the same rules in life that he does in an H-game. At one point, he visualises a conversation with Kurimu as a selection of options, and wonders how each will affect the "ending" he gets. Kurimu not only cuts it short by taking out a floppy disk, but pulls it off the screen, and wonders how it has any relation to reality.

The Order of the Stick:
In the early strip "Plot, Ahoy!", Elan uses the spell Summon Plot Exposition to produce this effect.
Used and lampshaded in a Fourth-Wall Mail Slot comic. Though with Belkar's low spot check, he fails to see the ninja panel.
Later, Haley forgets how to use thought bubbles, producing a similar effect.

Arthur adores this trope — it is not at all unusual for characters to have a good idea of what happened in a character's fantasy sequence or imagine spot, even though there surely wasn't enough time for the character to have described it in that much detail. In one example, when Arthur isn't getting enough sleep because D.W. keeps crying and screaming at night, he fantasizes a show called Temper Tantrum 911 and Binky walks by and comments on how cool such a show would be.

Rebuild World: Justified example due to Akira being connected to his Virtual Sidekick Alpha via Bio-Augmentation wireless Brain/Computer Interface. Akira imagines running around fighting Guns Akimbo with two assault rifles, leading to Alpha scolding him that it'd break his arms without the strength of Powered Armor as Required Secondary Powers. This foreshadows a later scene when Akira has armor and it's down for reprogramming mid-battle, making him resort to doing so and it causing him excruciating pain.

Frozen (2013): During Olaf's song "In Summer", there's a brief moment when Anna, Kristoff, and Sven are present in his fantasy. Anna and Kristoff both look a little disconcerted to be there. It's not clear if they're actually perceiving Olaf's fantasy (and weirded out by being in it), or if their off-kilter looks are just how Olaf imagines them.

One Piece:
During the Thriller Bark arc, after Franky's second call for the crew to do Tactics 15, Robin angrily declared that she would never do such a thing, and Sanji agreed with her, until he imagined what she would look like in the combo attack (hint: it involved her being held upside-down while she wore her miniskirt). Robin saw inside and gave him an icy glare of death.
During the Punk Hazard arc, it was Robin's Imagine Spot and Usopp doing the spotting, where Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Robin were debating how to get across a lake, with Luffy and Robin unable to swim, Robin imagined Usopp and Zoro bearing them across the lake, and Usopp calling her out on it.

In Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger Gai's plea to join the team includes him remarking on how he'd make it better. This leads to an Imagine Spot where the team acts like a Lighter and Softer Sentai team, telling the kiddies to brush their teeth and such. Marvelous, Joe, and Luka are put off, Ahim remarks that she didn't change all that much, and Don complains about the fact that Gai didn't even include him in it.

In the The Wizard of Id comic for 24th of July 2019, an applicant is asked by the King where the applicant might see himself in five years' time. The applicant has a thought bubble of himself as the king on the throne, which the King sees and is shocked by. The applicant is then seen in the dungeon in irons muttering, "Stupid thought bubble."

Invoked and exploited to cross the language barrier in Marsupilami. Backalive realizes that Tapamilastiko doesn't understand what he is saying, so he chooses to go for something more visual and imagine what he would do once the Marsupilami is captured: bringing it to a museum. Tapamilastiko sees the Imagine Spot but disagrees and uses the same method to show what he wants to do: bring the marsu to his tribe to eat it. They start a fight over it.

Subverted in one example in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic when Celestia is talking about an event from the past for Twilight Sparkle and Spike. Her explanation acts as if everyone can see the associated Imagine Spot and as such she leaves out details that are visible to the viewer, but Spike complains that they can't see what she's talking about and asks for clarification.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Magical Movie Night: In the "Dance Magic" segment, during each of the Imagine Spots, the girls other than the one narrating seem to be perfectly able to see what's going on and react accordingly. Notably, Rarity being aghast at her clothes in Applejack's scene, all of them panicking from the danger in Rainbow Dash's romp or looking around in confusion from Pinkie Pie's rambling.

Pokémon: The Series:
Croagunk performs his usual stint of attacking Brock while flirting with a girl, except the flirting occurred in Brock's daydream. A downplayed example, where Brock could have just been saying things out loud, but still.
When Meowth used to fantasize about their Boss Giovanni in weird and crazy situations with the Monster of the Week, the rest of Team Rocket can sometimes be fully aware of all the things that happen in the aforementioned fantasy.

Several jokes in Chapter 99 of Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun rely on most of the cast being able to see the quickly-evolving romantic interpretations of mundane interactions in the mind of Rei Kashima, who's very uninformed about co-ed relations due to going to an all-girls' school and has more imagination than sense.

Homestar Runner
In the Strong Bad Email "couch patch", Homestar claims that he knows where the patch on Strong Bad's couch came from, but has an unrelated flashback of himself lying on the couch, spitting Teddy Grahams on the ceiling. Strong Bad points out that the patch is clearly visible in Homestar's flashback.
In "from work", Strong Bad is unable to have an Imagine Spot because "the suits" firewalled his imagination. Homestar walks in, however, and has an Imagine Spot just fine. When Strong Bad complains, Homestar explains that he has "admin privileges".

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
At one point in the manga, Konoka has a brief thought about how bishonen Negi will be when he's 18. Negi looks up and is shocked, asking who that is.
Happens again when Yue and Nodoka request instruction in magic. The image is of how they would look as mages, with an alternative possibility supplied on the next page in the manga. The funny thing is that during the Magic World arc, when they both start becoming legitimate mages, it turns out that their imaginations were spot on.

Spongebob Squarepants: In "Dying For Pie", upon hearing that the last thing on SpongeBob's list is watching the sunset, Squidward recalls Mr. Krabs saying that's when the bomb hits his lower intestine and kills him. His Imagine Spot doesn't go unnoticed.
In "Truth or Square", during the flashback where Mr. Krabs had told SpongeBob the Krabby Patty secret formula, Plankton interupts the story by trying to get ink for his pen to write down the formula. Just as he gets the pen working, Mr. Krabs in the thought bubble throws Plankton away. After Plankton has been thrown off, the real Mr. Krabs had showed up.
