Not-So-Imaginary Friend	comment	A Not-So-Imaginary Friend is real, but due to a pile-up of coincidences, mystical restrictions, an explicit or implied Weirdness Censor, or deliberate evasiveness on this character's part, he remains unseen by others. Generally, by the end of the episode, this character's existence has been proven and the person seeing it gets vindicated, but not always. Basically, a specific way of playing with Imaginary Friend. This plot is also referred to as "The Singing Frog", after "One Froggy Evening", the famous Looney Tunes cartoon in which a man cannot convince anyone that a frog he has found can sing and dance, and ends up broke and homeless because of it. Sub-Trope to Imaginary Friend (a specific subversion where the "friend" ends up being real, or possibly a Discussed Trope where the audience knew the friend was real, but most of the characters didn't). Compare with Cassandra Truth, Ignored Expert, It Was Here, I Swear!, Mistaken for an Imposter, Girlfriend in Canada, and Tulpa (where an imaginary person is transformed into a real being by people literally believing in it enough). Often overlaps with Crying Wolf (because the character(s) seeing them have lied in the past), Invisible to Normals (specifically when the affected creature is friendly) and Missed Him by That Much. Can overlap with Otherworldly Visits Youngest First. The Other Wiki has an entry on the Martha Mitchell effect cases where an individual is misdiagnosed over hallucinations that were, in fact, real. As this is a form of The Reveal, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Fridge Horror: Kyubey has strong telepathic powers that enable him to talk to people from far away. He holds conversations with people who are not themselves able to talk telepathically which means he is reading their minds. Kyubey being invisible to normalness probably involves manipulating people's minds into not noticing him. In the ending, Madoka becomes this to her brother (literally) and Homura. No one else has any reason to believe she exists.

He initially attributes it to either a hallucination or his consciousness. But after he repairs the Peacock Miraculous, Duusu can not only hear Emilie but also "see" her from where Gabriel "imagined" the voice to come from. It's revealed that Emilie's emotions had manifested into a being outside of her body, letting her speak again with her husband and Kwammi.

Not-So-Imaginary Friend / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In "Old Money", Homer thinks Abe's girlfriend Bea is this, and he takes him for a family outing instead of letting him go on a date with her for her birthday, and after Abe learns Bea died from literal heartbreak, he's understandably outraged with Homer. Played with in "Don't Fear the Roofer", when everyone believes that Homer's new roofer friend Ray Magini (voiced by Ray Romano) is imaginary, but simply missed seeing him due to a series of increasingly improbable circumstances. The event in the hardware shop is probably one of the most plausible, but then Stephen Hawking throws it way out to left field. Afterwards, Lisa points that "Ray Magini" is an anagram of "imaginary". In "The Girl Code", Lisa develops an app that predicts the consequences of social media postings. To her surprise, the app develops consciousness and begins to talk to her, but when she tries to show it to others, the app won't respond. It turns out the app is as insecure as Lisa is and is afraid of going live and having to suffer through people's inane postings. It finally reveals itself to the world after Lisa frees it inside the Cloud.

Not-So-Imaginary Friend / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes: Sylvester was repeatedly beaten up by a kangaroo (or "giant mouse", as he mistakenly regarded it) which only he would see. When he tried to show it to someone else (usually his son), they would see an actual mouse instead. Though this was subverted at least twice (with the same dialogue to boot): Used again in another cartoon where two dogs, a bulldog named Spike and a smaller dog named Chester, decide to beat up a cat to enjoy themselves. They encounter Sylvester and chase him into a junkyard, where a vicious black panther that escaped from a zoo just happens to be hiding out. Every time Spike goes into the junkyard to thrash Sylvester, he is clawed into pieces by the panther, which he, in a dark maze of crates, thinks is Sylvester. Chester has no problem pummeling Sylvester before Spike's eyes, which convinces Spike that Chester must be tougher than him. Used yet again another episode involving the same characters in "Dr. Jerkyll's Hide", where once again the dogs chase after Sylvester. Away from Chester's presence, Spike ends up getting beaten up again by Sylvester, thanks to a potion that transforms him into a giant monster. Chester, of course, never sees this transformed Sylvester, thinking his buddy is being beaten by the tiny tomcat. The final loss of face for Alfie (the name of the bulldog in this episode) is his being thrashed by a fly that has also been affected by the potion, as it occurs in front of Chester's eyes. A more well-known short, "One Froggy Evening", features a man finding the top-hatted Michigan J. Frog, who would only sing and dance in front of him. Every time he tried to show someone else, he acted like an ordinary frog or just as they arrived he was done singing.

To support this he is never shown directly interacting with any other character throughout season (With the exception of some ambiguous scenes where characters are implicitly recognizing his presence but don't directly speak with him). In the second season it ended when Neil Flynn asked to be able to work with the other actors. On a DVD commentary he describes his character in the first season as "a Snuffleupagus".

Not-So-Imaginary Friend / int_400469e	comment	Calvin and Hobbes: Hobbes is often interpreted as one of these. However, Bill Watterson always made a point of insisting that neither Calvin (who sees him as a living, breathing creature) nor the other human characters (who see him as a stuffed toy) necessarily have the "true" perspective. In contrast with most instances of this trope, Calvin appears not to care, or even to notice, that his parents and other characters don't "see" Hobbes as he does. One plot involves Calvin and Hobbes time-traveling shortly into the future, where Calvin should have finished a homework assignment, so he can travel back with it without having done it himself. While Calvin and his time-duplicate argue over who should do the assignment, Hobbes and his time duplicate write it together, and use it to make fun of Calvin and his plan. Calvin, without reading it, turns in the assignment, which is noted as being different and better than Calvin's usual style, and capable of telling jokes at the expense of Calvin, which Calvin is not. Calvin manages to climb trees, which he wouldn't be able to manage alone, with Hobbes giving him a boost to the first branch. Another time Hobbes ties Calvin to a chair. Other characters express amazement that Calvin can do all these things by (or to) himself, even when it's very clear he needs help at certain points in his adventures.

Not-So-Imaginary Friend / int_46518682	comment	From 1971 until 1985, Aloysius "Snuffy" Snuffleupagus on Sesame Street was such a character, seen only by Big Bird. In an interview on a documentary called Sesame Street Unpaved, hosted by Sonia Manzano (Maria Rodriguez), Snuffy's performer, Martin P. Robinson, revealed that Snuffy was finally introduced to the main human cast (A) because they had milked the "just barely missed him" joke completely dry by that point, and (B) because of a string of high profile and sometimes graphic stories of pedophilia and sexual abuse of children on such news programs as 60 Minutes and 20/20. The writers felt that by having the adults refuse to believe Big Bird despite the fact that he was telling the truth, they were scaring children into thinking that their parents would not believe them if they had been sexually abused and that they'd just be better off remaining silent. In addition, a proportion of the child audience found the gag of Big Bird not being believed frustrating anyway. Around the mid 1970s, children began to see Snuffy. Later on, Muppet characters saw him; Elmo was crucial to helping Big Bird expose the truth.

Eventually, Kitty manages to find her for real (she had been trapped in an underwater cave for two years — only her powers prevented her from dying) and take her to be treated at the Institute.

Not-So-Imaginary Friend / int_4d04208	comment	The Andy Griffith Show: "Mr. McBeevee", the 1962 episode where Opie meets a telephone lineman. Because of the way 8-year-old Opie describes McBeevee: He "blows smoke from his ears" (McBeevee, a smoker, is able to make smoke come from his ears when exhaling). He "lives in the trees" (McBeevee's work is often high atop telephone poles). He "has 12 extra hands" (his tool belt and wide variety of tools, which he needs at his side to make various repairs). ... it sounds as though McBeevee is an Imaginary Friend, and Andy and Barney are skeptical about his existence. Things turn serious when Opie shows his father a quarter (that McBeevee had given him as a present), leading Andy to conclude that his son may have stolen it,note Because Imaginary Friends are the first step on the slippery slope to juvenile delinquency, Andy never considers Opie could have found or worked for the quarter and then just said it was a present from McBeevee. and things become worse for Opie when they go to McBeevee's worksite, only to find nobody there. (Shortly before Andy and Opie arrived, McBeevee was called to assist another worker.) Andy decides he has to punish his son for lying, but can't bring himself to do it when Opie insists that McBeevee is real. Just as Andy goes to a clearing to cool off, he muses aloud, "Mr. McBeevee" — and it isn't long before McBeevee responds. Andy, for his part, is so relieved to find out the man is real that he invites McBeevee over for dinner that evening; later, McBeevee calls the station to assure them that he'll be there, and Barney — who didn't believe Andy when Andy told him about meeting McBeevee — answers the phone, only to be rather dumbstruck when it's conclusively proven to him that McBeevee is real.

It chases him towards a window and he falls to his death. The slot machine then approaches him and spits out his last dollar before disappearing into the night. In "Mirror Image", Paul Grinstead believes that Millicent Barnes' claim that she is being pursued by her DoppelgÃ¤nger from a Mirror Universe is nothing more than a hallucination and calls the police so that they can get her the help that she needs. As soon as Millicent leaves, Paul sees his own doppelgÃ¤nger and realizes that Millicent was telling the truth.

So she was never seen to learn them. Given that Rika was the daughter of the village priest and thought to be the reincarnation of Oyashiro-sama, the local deity, the villagers quickly decide this is evidence of the reincarnation and nearly worship her. Hanyuu is really the ghost of a Furude woman who was sacrificed centuries prior, albeit in the form of a Cute Ghost Girl (though she can turn into an adult if she wishes to).

Once the baby becomes a toddler, he or she can build a relationship with the doll, who will then become an Imaginary Friend when the toddler becomes a child. The Imaginary Friend can do tangible things like clean or get snacks or play on a seesaw with its owner, but only the owner can see it, which causes other Sims in the area to feel secondhand embarrassment for the weirdo talking to him- or herself. However, there is a special potion that the Imaginary Friend can drink to become real, and when this happens, it transforms into a normal (albeit oddly-dressed) Sim that everyone can see. The Social Bunny from The Sims 2, an imaginary character who appears when your sims are in social failure, is a reference to Harvey. If multiple sims are in social failure on the same lot, they will each generate their own Social Bunny that only they can see... but the Bunnies can see and interact with each other. Some Self-Imposed Challenge rules offer a bonus for getting two Social Bunnies to flirt with each other.

She's one of the few kids not invited to Janine Henry's birthday party, and rather than admit that Janine doesn't like her, she tells the other kids that she can't go because it's Fidius's birthday. When the other girls find out that she has a "fairy," they all want to be her friend. Mellie promises to bring Fidius to school on Monday, but when Fidius finds out that she broke the masquerade, he's so angry that he leaves the family for good. Alpha Bitch Janine is so mad at Mellie for ruining her birthday party that Mellie spends the next eight years being bullied over her "imaginary friend." After a few years, even Mellie comes to believe that she imagined Fidius, until she meets the rest of his people when she's thirteen.

Doc seems to sort of believe Sprocket, at least in later episodes, but it's not until the finale that he actually sees a Fraggle (Gobo) himself. In one episode, Red discovers the last of the Lily Creatures, but can't get others to believe her. The one Fraggle who does wants to capture and exploit it, so Red "admits" to making the whole thing up to protect it. The UK version has the same dynamic between Sprocket and the Captain (and his successors). A Fraggle Rock skit on The Children's Royal Variety Performance was introduced by the Captain explaining that all the stories about strange creatures living around the lighthouse were nonsense, while Sprocket gives him an "Are you kidding me?" look.

After a series of disturbing events, the titular Monster Clown reveals himself to the mother once she sees her severely mangled son, proving that he was a False Friend all along. In Laughing Jack's origin story, besides outright referring to himself as a "not-so-imaginary friend" to Isaac, the clown says he can't let anyone else see him or they wouldn't be allowed to play anymore, which leads Isaac's mother to think that he's lying about Laughing Jack's existence. When Isaac returns 13 years after being sent to boarding school, seeing Laughing Jack again is a severe shock to him, because Isaac had dismissed him as childhood imagination.

One of them appears to have uncontrolled telekinesis throughout the episode, and she blames all of it on "Bobby", her invisible super-powered stuffed animal. Raven disbelieves this ridiculous story... until the end, when Bobby the eight-foot-tall super-strong teddy bear drops his invisibility and starts to beat some serious ass on the villain trying to kidnap the kids. Of course Bobby is a manifestation of said kid's telekinetic powers: the girl in question acknowledges this, but insists this doesn't make him any less real. It's hard to argue with her, really. Alternate interpretation. The girl's power allows her to turn imagination into reality. Bobby is an imaginary friend who became real. The trope still applies either way, though.

Her boyfriend is astonished when the Doctor eventually appears, having accidentally skipped forward twelve years due to his damaged TARDIS, unable to believe that "the Raggedy Doctor" is real. This gets repeated in the final episode of season 5, thanks to some odd circumstances, leading to him becoming real again after having been erased from reality, and the page quote.

In the sitcom, a young widow and her two children (a boy and a girl) live with their housekeeper in a seaside cottage haunted by the ghost of its earlier inhabitant, a sea captain. The captain chooses to be visible to the widow and her young son, but not to the widow's daughter or the housekeeper, both of whom assume that the ghost is merely the boy's imaginary friend.

The show went so far as to end an episode with the sound of a motorcycle revving up, and Natalie exclaiming "SNAKE!" (with a quick fourth-wall break to inform the audience they'd have to wait a bit to actually see him). We do finally see him a few episodes later, mostly to set up the Very Special Episode where Natalie is the first of the girls to lose her virginity. We can actually thank Lisa Whelchel for Snake's introduction. The storyline about Natalie losing her virginity was actually originally written to center around Blair. However, Whelchel refused to appear in the episode altogether because at the time, she had become (and still is) a born-again Christian and premarital sex conflicted with her morals.

While aliens and robots can be Hand Waved, other humans like the Brainstorm family (who think he's a robot) don't have that excuse.

Not-So-Imaginary Friend / int_ea4f62db	comment	Family Guy: The Evil Monkey in Chris's closet is a running gag. This culminates in season 8, when Chris gets tired of nobody believing him so he actually catches the monkey and proves he wasn't making it up. In a single-episode version, Lois discovers she has a long-lost brother who's somewhat unhinged and talks to an invisible girlfriend. Stewie and Brian decide to place a cucumber where she's supposed to be sitting and declare, laughing, that "if it pickles then she's real". A few scenes later, an angry Lois is heard asking about the pickle on the couch. During a custody dispute in "Petarded", Peter convinces the judge to allow him to call to the stand his surprise witness, "the ghost that never lies". What seems to be an obvious ploy to drum up support for himself is then subverted, much to his own annoyance, when the ghost correctly identifies him as the one responsible for the events that led to him losing custody of his children.

Not-So-Imaginary Friend / int_ec9155b1	comment	Small Gods had St. Ungulant, a hermit who lived out in the desert with the eponymous small gods. His lifestyle involved daily hallucinations, but fortunately his invisible friend Angus was there to keep him from going crazy. Angus later proved himself to be real by braining a hungry lion.

Not-So-Imaginary Friend / int_f2041376	comment	Charmed In "Once Upon a Time", a little girl claims she can see trolls and fairies. Her mother and stepfather think she's created imaginary friends as a reaction to her parents' divorce, but the Halliwells discover that she's seeing real creatures. The sisters also mention that as kids they all had the same imaginary friend, a fairy called "Lily". Piper assumes it was just something one of them made up that the other two went along with, but after learning fairies are real they start to wonder if maybe Lily was real too. In "Imaginary Fiends", a demon appears to Wyatt and acts like his friend, all the while trying to corrupt Wyatt into serving the cause of evil. Because only Wyatt can see the demon, the adult characters think that Wyatt merely has an "imaginary friend". The demon, who has done this with other preschool-aged witches in the past, is counting on the fact that adults tend not to suspect that there's anything more unusual going on than just a kid playing with an imaginary friend.

For much of the first season (until the end of the episode "Search in a Windy City"), even Kimble himself isn't entirely sure that the One-Armed Man really exists.

Most of the people that Sora mentions Ven to assume he's an imaginary friend, but after Ven finds out he can take control of Sora's body, he's able to prove his existence to Sora's parents by summoning his Keyblade. Once he does, he's quickly adopted as Sora's older brother.

The tears of joy when Neal finally comes home and introduces everybody to Del was originally supposed to be elation upon discovering that Neal was telling the truth the whole time.
