Character comes across some kind of definition that the audience, or other characters, know to be right about him. The character is the only one who is unaware of that. Usually Played for Laughs. May come in a variety of ways: Someone tells something about an unspecified someone. The character asks, "Who would that be?" The reply is, "That would be you." The character hears a word or expression for the first time and asks out loud what it means. Perhaps it is beyond the character's vocabulary, perhaps it comes from a Fictionary. The irony is, the character is a walking example of the word. There is a picture/drawing/"Wanted!" Poster of the character. He fails to see himself in it. The character chews out other characters for behaving or acting in a specific manner while remaining oblivious to the fact that they are much the same. Someone is mocking the character in terms designed to keep them from realizing that they're being insulted. An embarrassed or hypocritical character might act like this while keeping quiet about knowing the description is accurate ("I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about"). A disguised character might pretend to be oblivious but compliment himself while at it. Compare Calling Me a Logarithm, Failed a Spot Check, I Resemble That Remark!, Stealth Insult, Tomato in the Mirror, and "Where? Where?". When a character is oblivious that they are describing someone in the room, it’s Oblivious Mockery. |

In the final episode of Batman: The Telltale Series, depending on your choices the Joker will become a vigilante who fight criminals alongside Batman, though the latter is aware that the Joker is an out of control murderous maniac. When he tries to stop him from killing Director Waller by explaining that it's not justice, the Joker accuses Batman of using justice as an excuse to do whatever he wants, completely unaware that it's what he's been doing as a vigilante. | |

"Notorious", a short story by João Guimarães Rosa (of The Devil to Pay in the Backlands fame). The narrator, a doctor, is surprised to get a visit from a feared outlaw. It happens a newly arrived guy from the government called him "notorious", and the furious outlaw travels miles... to ask the doctor, one of the few educated men in the backlands, what the word means. Fearing the worst, the narrator answers it means "important", and the outlaw leaves happy. | |

In Batman: Arkham Knight, when you've solved almost all of Riddler's puzzles, he has a Freak Out and laments that it's like he's crossed into some Alternate Universe where Batman is the smart one and he's nothing more than a lunatic with an over-inflated ego. | |

Dilbert: The seventh habit of highly defective people is thinking the people in the comic aren't you. Another strip had the PHB reading a memo about thefts in the office, and describes the thief as being "slow-witted, with pointy hair". He continues, saying that it "stops short of actually naming her Alice." |

In Sonic Colors, one of Eggman's PA messages has him informing "the owner of a white hovercar shaped like an egg" that their car was broken into. He only realizes who the owner obviously is once he repeats the message a second time. For extra hilarity, judging by another of his messages, his own robots go around looting the guests' cars, meaning they might be responsible. | |

In The Disaster Artist, Greg Sestero recalls seeing The Talented Mr. Ripley and realizing how chillingly similar the relationship between Dickie Greenleaf and Tom Ripley was to the relationship between himself and Tommy Wiseau. When Greg later watches the movie with Tommy, he is worried that the latter will realize the same thing... but Wiseau remains utterly oblivious and is instead inspired by the movie to create his infamous "magnum opus". | |

To the Ends of the Earth: The narrator overhears two people discussing someone with a very out-of-date worldview, but who is nonetheless fairly likable and not completely stupid. He does not realize that they are probably referring to him (it is never explicitly confirmed that they are, but it seems very likely). | |

In Jingo, Lord Vetinari recruits Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs to accompany him and Leonard of Quirm on a secret mission, due to their "special qualities". Later, as Fred is dozing off he hears Leonard ask "Why them?" and the Patrician replies "They do what they're told, they tend to believe the last thing they heard, they're not bright enough to ask questions, and they have that certain unshakable loyalty available to those unencumbered by too much intelligence." Fred then goes to sleep, content that he's not like those poor bastards because he's a man with special qualities. | |

In the fourth book of Gulliver's Travels, the titular character ends up in the land of the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent talking horses. When Gulliver first arrives there, he comes across a creature, known locally as a "Yahoo," which he describes in great detail as hideously ugly and crude creatures with thick hair on the heads and chests; the Yahoos walk on their hind legs, lack tails, and are generally the most "disagreeable" creature Gulliver has ever seen. In case you hadn't already guessed, the Yahoos are human beings; Gulliver fails to recognize their parallels to himself and thinks that he has a lot more in common with the Houyhnhnms than the beasts. | |

In Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Mark Russell assumes before seeing more than a few Titans up close for himself, and against his own zoological rationality, that all the Titans including Godzilla are nothing more than homicidal monsters who should be wiped out with no good eggs among them, and he's abandoned his wife and daughter years before the film's start due to a Grief-Induced Split so he could wallow in self-pity at a cabin. Mark claims that Monarch's judgment of the Titans is biased and delusional when Serizawa says he thinks some of the Titans are benevolent, and he chides his ex-wife for not putting her family or her own mental health first, while failing to realize how both these insults are very applicable to him if you take out a little of the contexts. | |

Liar Liar pulls a somewhat inverted version of this. When Fletcher requests a bathroom break and tries to think of a way to get out of continuing the court session so he can try to maintain his promise to his son, he decides on, in his own words, "kicking my ass!" When brought before the judge and asked who had done this to him, as he can't tell a lie of any kind, he PROMPTLY describes himself. The judge doesn't see through it, not even when Fletcher promptly hides his teeth after the "big teeth, kinda gangly" comment. | |

The Bible has an instance of this with respect to King David. After David's Uriah Gambit is successful, God sends Nathan the Prophet to him. Nathan tells David about a very rich man that stole a poor person's pet lamb to serve to his guests rather than take one from his own vast flock. Upon hearing the story, David becomes furious and declares that the man deserves the death penalty and will also need to pay fourfold for the lamb. Once Nathan reveals that he's actually talking about David, he has a literal My God, What Have I Done? moment. | |

The A to Z Mysteries book The Lucky Lottery has the heroes going to the convenience store where the winning, and now stolen, lottery ticket was sold to try to find out who might have taken it. The cashier offers a description of a suspicious man she saw in the store earlier, and Josh draws a picture based on what she says—but when they go to the police with their findings, the cops take one look and point out that it's just a drawing of Josh himself with a mustache. We later find out why: the cashier was the crook, and she deliberately made up a story to send the kids on a wild goose chase. | |

RWBY Chibi: In Episode 10, after witnessing the Love Triangle between Pyrrha, Jaune, and Weiss, Ren remarks that they can't see what's right in front of them... while Nora, who's crazy about him, is waving a sign reading "Notice Me!" surrounded by pink hearts. In Season 2 Episode 1, after the opening sequence goes pear-shaped, Ozpin states that he'd have to be a pretty incompetent leader if he didn't notice sabotage happening right under his nose. This is almost immediately after Mercury and Emerald respectively conked Ruby on the head with a boom mike and dropped a stage light dangerously close to Yang, complete with false apologies. Following this, Ozpin gets flattened by the rose symbol when Cinder pushes it over... and still believes that it fell on him by accident. In "Super Besties", after Ruby has used Bedtime Brainwashing to force Weiss to spend the entire day with her against her will, and to force Yang to hand over spending money and let her use her motorcycle, Blake tells Yang point blank that she and Weiss "have weak minds and are easily manipulated"... while she herself is wearing a "back-up bestie" T-shirt, courtesy of Ruby. |

In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Flayn's C support with Seteth has her complain to her overprotective brother (actually father) about someone getting in the way of her making friends. Seteth is horrified and asks who he needs to deal with; Flayn, of course, shoots back that she's talking about him before leaving. Seteth is left in Stunned Silence before seemingly forcing the conversation out of his memory. | |

Spider-Man: This was the downfall of Jimmy Natale, mob clean-up man and one of the Vulture's knockoffs. Having found a way to create a new Vulture, he pitched the idea to his bosses as a way to discourage further screw-ups. Unfortunately, he didn't notice that he had all the qualities he recommended (ruthlessness, efficiency, etc.). In Spectacular Spider-Man #200, Harry Osborn, at his most erratic, goes on a rant to MJ about how Peter might be a nice guy as Peter, but he changes when he puts on the mask, which is far more applicable to his own Green Goblin persona, which he drifts in and out of during the conversation. |

In Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Del Griffith talks to Neal Page about how he hates it when people don't shut up when the other person doesn't want to talk to them, completely unaware that Page has barely said a word to him. | |
