| Shrug Take | comment |
A character is given a revelation, or sees/hears something, that is shocking, insulting, disturbing, outlandish, or just plain dumb. They begin to react accordingly... but then just shrug it off and go about their business. Always Played for Laughs. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })If the character simply does not react at all, you have The Stoic or someone that has Seen It All. If the character shows a downplayed reaction that almost shrugs it off, it's Dull Surprise. It could be a Milholland Relationship Moment. Alternatively, the character might see or hear something unusual, but will ultimately dismiss it as "just my imagination" or be subject to the Bystander Syndrome. Sub-trope of The Take. See Also No More for Me. |

In the film National Lampoon's Vacation, the family discovers that their sandwiches are all wet because "the dog wet on the picnic basket". Upon hearing this, Aunt Edna sniffs her sandwich, shrugs and continues eating it. | |

Used twice in Superman III: Early in the film, when Superman changes identities in the back seat of an occupied police car, the cop in the front seat notices, but then dismisses it. On a picnic, Clark reacts rather mildly to the announcement that he's eating dog food. |

In the Married... with Children episode "Hot Off the Grill," word is spread around that the ashes used in Al's barbecue grill include the cremated ashes of Marcy's dead aunt. While Kelly, Bud, and Peg have a Vomit Discretion Shot, Steve only looks at his burger, then grins widely and takes a big bite out of it. | |

In the ending to Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, Wario defeats Captain Syrup and finally finds the huge golden Princess Peach statue, assuring his fortune. Mario suddenly appears in a helicopter with a magnet, hoists the statue up, and flies away with it. Wario can only look on and then shrugs his shoulders. | |

Total Drama: Done in the episode "Phobia Factor," where we see a shot of millions of slimy pink worms squirming around in an empty wooden hot tub as Chris reveals that Beth's challenge is to completely submerge herself in them, we then get reaction shots of the other campers gasping, throwing up or even fainting, followed by a shot of Beth herself, who does an Eye Take... then shrugs and calmly does the challenge without complaining. Done again in "Hawaiian Punch", after Heather reveals that she's in love with Alejandro. Beth gasps, Cody gasps, Owen gasps, and Noah... shrugs, since he already knew. |

Used in the Jeff Daniels film about hunting season in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Escanaba in Da Moonlight. Reuben Soady (Daniels) feeds his father, brother, and their hunting buddy with a special "potion" made by his wife (whose consistency appears to resemble a milkshake). All of them compliment the tasty beverage, but when Remnar (Reuben's brother) asks to "steal the recipe", they are horrified to discover that the drink includes ground Moose testicles, insects, worms, and dirt, among other disgusting things. They look at each other, disgusted, but then their hunting buddy raises his jar, toasts, and sucks the rest right down. It helps that they previously established his ability to drink pretty much anything set in front of him. | |

Something*Positive: Monette creates montages out of old comics belonging to Fred: incredibly rare old comics that gave Fred rare respite in his hard childhood. Faye says that he'll be so angry she should move to another country, but Fred takes it very well. One must suppose that being informed you are coming down with Alzheimer disease will alter your priorities a bit. |

The characters of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic usually react this way whenever Cloud Cuckoolander Pinkie Pie says something nonsensical or breaks the laws of physics - that is, when it provokes a reaction at all. Such incidents are so commonplace that the phrase "She's just being Pinkie Pie" has come into use as a catch-all explanation for her feats. One such example comes from "Too Many Pinkie Pies"; Rainbow Dash witnesses two Pinkie Pies in the same place, gapes and stares... and shrugs to herself before settling down for an afternoon nap. |

Tangled has an interesting variation. Rapunzel, who has been locked up in her tower, has no idea what to do with a tiara. She puts it on her arm; Pascal shakes his head. She uses it as a magnifying glass; Pascal shakes his head. She places it on her head, the music swells, Pascal's eyes widen... then Pascal shakes his head. | |
