Many a strange thing is happening in Normaltown, USA and the Weirdness Censor isn't working at 100% efficiency today, so someone will suggest that the events are "Some kind of joke," despite how overly elaborate and complicated measures would have to be taken in order to produce such phenomenon for the sake of a laugh. They're hoping it's a Candid Camera Prank. Compare to Some Nutty Publicity Stunt, which is somewhat similar, but involves effects too widespread, elaborate, or large to be considered just a joke aimed at one person or a small group. See also You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!. Also a Stock Phrase used when someone does not want to believe that some bad news is true. It's almost never a joke. |

In Bleach, Äs Nödt was looking forward to a rematch with Byakuya, only for Byakuya to say he'll leave defeating him in his little sister Rukia's hands. Insulted, Äs Nödt angrily asks if this is some kind of joke, right before Rukia kills him. | |

In The Simpsons, episode "Deep Space Homer", when the director of NASA introduces Homer and Barney as the future of space travel, two reporters ask "is this a joke?" Despite telling them no, and refusing to take any more similar questions, Homer breaking down after realizing the Planet of the Apes was earth, and Barney drunkenly passing out, did not help. | |

Ah! My Goddess: Sayoko has made a deal with a demon and turned the university into a fairy-tale castle. The reaction from those whose minds she didn't take over? [sigh] "Probably just the engineering students goofing around again. Last year they put a bus on the roof." And the narration notes, "It seemed years of student pranks had rendered the sleepy town of Nekomi shock-proof." | |

A great example in the form of a running gag to boot is when Marty stumbles into the soda shop in Back to the Future. First, the bartender smirks when referring to Marty's 1980s orange sleeveless ski jacket as a "life preserver", and later in the same scene Biff and his gang members laugh at Marty's expense after one of the gang makes the disparaging remark, "Dork thinks he's gonna drown." | |

In George Gipe's novelization of Gremlins, when Father Barlett's Christmas cards first shoot out of a mailbox after he dropped them in, he assumes it's a "hidden camera prank" and good-naturedly plays along. Turns out to be those darn gremlins. (This is partially seen in the movie, but a deleted scene spells it out for sure.) | |

In the Stargate SG-1 episode "New Order", Dr. Weir's reaction to the Stargate program was to think it was a joke. She was then handed a letter from the President reading simply "This is not a joke." It was also stated that this was the President's reaction to learning of the Stargate program, as well, hence his ability to predict her response. | |

Star Wars Resistance: Neeku Vozo, being extremely Literal-Minded, occasionally takes serious statements made by other characters as jokes. In "Descent", when protagonist Kaz finally tells Neeku that he's a spy for the Resistance, which is why First Order stormtroopers are chasing them, Neeku's reaction is to assume that it's a bad joke at a bad time for joking. He doesn't realize that Kaz is being serious until he sees General Organa's message near the end of the episode. | |

A particularly ridiculous example from Monster a-Go Go: while investigating the strange death of an Air Force helicopter pilot, burned to death by an unknown force, Col. Manning is shown a singed section of grass surrounding the body, apparently made by whatever killed the pilot.
