Okay, so one of the characters is a little... odd. He's a Talkative Loon who rambles, talks to people and things that aren't there, and rarely pays much attention to what's going on around him. So it's just natural that the other characters ignore everything this guy has to say... Until, in a strange twist of hindsight, it turns out he was right all along. ...Crap. Sometimes the guy's truly the Only Sane Man whose condition is due to the frightening nature of the things he had uncovered. Sometimes, he is mad but still got one thing right (he's usually smart enough to notice that this one is somehow different from his usual delusions), but people who already know him will just dismiss this as another lie. And occasionally, he's Right for the Wrong Reasons (sometimes despite particularly bizarre Insane Troll Logic). Compare Actually a Good Idea, Dumbass Has a Point, Jerkass Has a Point, No Mere Windmill, Properly Paranoid, Mad Oracle, Cassandra Truth, The Cassandra, Cue the Flying Pigs, The Dog Was the Mastermind and I Warned You. Contrast Windmill Crusader. This trope may result in someone else Giving Up on Logic. When combined with Breaking the Fourth Wall, may result in Audience? What Audience?, and a meta-version of this can overlap with Accidentally-Correct Writing. If it's the Madness Mantra that was right all along, perhaps you should be a little afraid... And if the whole thing was a joke that happens to match reality, it's Joke and Receive (doesn't require a Cloudcuckoolander). Contrast Scully Syndrome, in which an individual, despite witnessing any less-than-realistic-sounding truth that someone else like the Cloudcuckoolander has been suggesting to others, tries to deny such fact through a defense mechanism called rationalization, where it can potentially (and ironically) make the former sound, act or even become crazy themselves from doing so. |

In Worm, Glaistig Uaine is a psychotic mass murderer who thinks she's a faerie Queen, and makes a number of bizarre claims that no-one takes seriously, though they humor her because she's incredibly dangerous. Pretty much everything she says turns out to be foreshadowing, though it's actually caused by aliens, not faeries. | |

In Shinrai: Broken Beyond Despair, Rihatsu Shinpuku, the mother of Raiko, the main character, is often rather childish and eccentric, such as trying to get Raiko to dress up in a cat costume for her friends' Halloween party. After reading a pre-game entry about Kamen throwing a paper airplane at Raiko in class, Rihatsu comes to the conclusion that Kamen is secretly in love with Raiko. Rihatsu's conclusion seems entirely baseless, but the good ending(in which Kamen kisses Raiko on the cheek) and post-game extra content suggest that she's right. | |

Early in Doraemon: Nobita's Chronicles of the Moon Exploration, a news broadcast reports of a lunar probe picking up footage of an unidentified creature living on the moon's surface, which had Nobita's entire class discussing what it could be about. Gian said it's a UFO, Suneo thinks it's dust on the lens, Haruo said it's ectoplasm, and Nobita, being Nobita, thinks it's rabbits living on the moon. The creature was later revealed to be an Espal, an alien race descended from rabbits with bunny ears hiding underneath the moon's surface, so it turns out Nobita got the closest answer. | |

All Guardsmen Party: Twitch's Properly Paranoid tendencies tend to leave him a little off in regular life, but he can be quite prescient when it comes to plot twists. In "What's In The Box", Twitch was convinced that the titular box was full of Orks and the non-PC Guard Regiment were all Orks in disguise (The actual Orks they were fighting were 'Double Orks'). He was right on both counts, although the Guard Regiment were technically humans getting more orky because of their use of the Orks in 'The Box'. When the crew was transporting a Zoanthrope and being attacked by ghost tyranids during Warp transit, he claimed that the Daemons and Tyranids had teamed up to become 'Daemonids'. The crew later discover that the Zoanthrope they were carrying had in fact been possessed by a Daemon. |

Something like this happens in Sluggy Freelance during the Boys' Night Out arc. Early on, a vampire hunter is introduced, and even though one of the oldest recurring characters really is a vampire, this hunter is initially portrayed as being humorously and/or dangerously out of touch with reality, to the point that you might expect him to kill innocent people, and the fact that vampires do exist seems to be a mere coincidence. Fast-forward to the end of the arc, where this crazy hunter has been overpowered and kidnapped by legitimately evil vampires, and he reveals himself to be a Crazy-Prepared unkillable badass. | |

The Big Lebowski, true to form, features a complicated example. After learning of the disappearance of the titular Big Lebowski's wife, head-in-the-clouds stoner the Dude casually suggests to his friends that she probably kidnapped herself. Walter, the PTSD stricken (or so he likes to believe) Vietnam veteran latches onto this theory and stubbornly maintains it as if the Dude was speaking the iron-clad truth even when the evidence (including a toe in the mail) begins to pile up suggesting otherwise, much to the Dude's horror. Turns out that technically she didn't actually kidnap herself (she just left for a weekend and didn't tell anyone) but the Nihilists, who were friends of hers, knew this and were faking the whole thing to try and bluff money out of the Big Lebowski. So the Dude was kind-of right originally and Walter was kind-of right to keep believing it. | |

Snopes spends its time debunking Urban Legends, which for the most part you'd be a fool to believe. But a small but non-negligible percentage of the stories they've researched actually turn out to be true. A prime example is this story of FBI agents trying to order pizza in an insane asylum— sounds like a joke, but to their astonishment it was confirmed by the FBI. As the site's authors observe: | |

Yes, he's admired as a leader and a fighter, but no one pays any heed to Kamina's constant praise of Simon and saying how he is destined for greatness, thinking it's the one thing he says that is absolutely bonkers. Simon not only proves that Kamina was right all along, he goes beyond even his brother's already sky-high expectations and literally becomes the greatest human in history. | |

In one of the endings to the Atop the Fourth Wall Silent Hill: Dying Inside review, Linkara is transported into the Cloudcuckooland that is Phantasmagoria. When he speaks to Pollo, Pollo responds with "His soul is blue. His heart is steel."

From Naruto we have Might Guy, who says things like his student Rock Lee needs to watch out for his enemy Gaara's gourd, because it's suspicious. Everyone else present rolls their eyes at how obvious this advice is, as they've already seen that Gaara's abilities are almost entirely related to the sand he keeps in that gourd. However, Gaara only survives Lee's Desperation Attack because of the gourd itself, as he can turn it into additional sand to cushion an impact. As well, throughout various other materials, Guy offers a lot of passionate-and-sound advice; he's not a top-level taijutsu ninja for nothing. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: In the Denmark segment of the Just Before the End prologue, an established Conspiracy Theorist points out a few odd things about the Patient Zero group for the Rash, such as the fact that nothing is known about them a week after their arrival, and suspects that there is an Apocalyptic Gag Order about the disease's seriousness in place. In the Finland segment that happens a couple of days later, an official newscast announces that the Rash is actually deadly on top of its already-known fast-spreading nature, which means that the Danish Conspiracy Theorist's theory was actually spot-on. | |

In a meta example, the author of notorious Harry Potter fanfiction My Immortal correctly predicted in an author's note that Harry is the last Horcrux and will have to die to defeat Voldemort in the last book. She's not the only person who guessed this one, but given Tara's extremely questionable grasp of the canon and tendency towards bizarre "plot" elements, this is actually rather impressive. | |

A perfect example of this is the beggar woman in Sweeney Todd. She has the greatest awareness of the characters' secrets in the musical but people disregard her because she seems crazy. Tragic when you find out why she seems to know so much. | |

Arima and Shimura (the latter of whom is a ninja) repeatedly tell him that breathing fire is impossible. Then Otonashi-san's father launches a massive fireball in the penultimate chapter... | |

In an Ernie and Bert sketch on Sesame Street, Ernie prepares to take a bath. At first, he takes things one would expect to have in the bathtub with him, such as a bar of soap, a towel, and his Rubber Duckie. However, he soon starts taking things such as a flashlight, an umbrella, and Bert's bowling ball. When Bert sees these things, he asks Ernie why he's taking them into the bathtub. Ernie tells Bert he took the flashlight in case a fuse blows out, the umbrella in case it starts to rain in the bathroom, and Bert's bowling ball in case somebody comes by asking to borrow it. Bert dismisses Ernie's idea as silly, but as Ernie begins to bathe himself, all the stuff he described begins to happen. | |

You must have been so glad when Glen died." Later on, it turns out she was entirely right to suspect Jack. Woo-hoo for Lottie. | |

In Episode 3 of Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!, Nyarko wonders if Mahiro's Tsundere attitude and skill with forks mark him as a descendant of the cursed deity hunter from the "forbidden black book". In Episode 4, Mahiro's mother returns home and everyone (including Mahiro himself) learns that she's a part-time deity hunter who's also deadly with forks. When this is revealed, even Nyarko is shocked, since by her own admission her earlier remark was just an off-the-cuff joke and not meant to be any serious speculation. It actually happens semi-regularly in this series, most often with Nyarko trying to identify the Chekhov's Gun that will turn out to be the lynchpin of the current crisis. Mahiro almost always dismisses her suggestions because they would make for a really stupid resolution...and he gets really ticked off when she's right. There was even one incident where Nyarko dismissed her own suggestion as being way too contrived, so naturally she was 100% correct. |

In Red (2010), Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich) is more than a little paranoid. Over the course of the movie, he thinks a helicopter is following them, that the CIA is tracing a phone call made on a pay phone, and that a woman at the airport is actually an assassin who is following them. None of the other characters believe him, but as it turns out, he's 100% correct, every time. Frank also tells Sarah when she meets Marvin that he believes he was part of a top-secret mind control experiment, and as it turns out he was being given daily doses of LSD for years. | |

Blackbirds RPG: "Mother's Watch" causes the afflicted to become increasingly paranoid and childish, eventually becoming convinced that there exists a grand conspiracy to replace ordinary people with monstrous doppelgangers and throwing tantrums if this belief is questioned. It only affects those who have glimpsed the servants of the Allmother, a monstrous Deity of Human Origin whose ultimate goal is to Kill and Replace every single person and whose creations have already infiltrated every level of society in several regions. As a result these conspiracy theories are often fairly accurate, but the people making them are so obviously deranged and paranoid that nobody really believes them. | |

Monty Python and the Holy Grail: At first it seems like the guard at the French castle has no idea what the Holy Grail even is, yet his claim that "we've already got one" turns out to be the truth. Sir Bedevere's Insane Troll Logic about identifying witches by comparing their weight to a duck proves, at least in the instance shown, to be correct. The accused does indeed weigh the same as a duck, and admits "'Twas a fair cop" before being dragged away to be burned. Except it turns out the scales are clearly unbalanced, as seen after the mob carries the witch away. It's part of the joke. |

Atomic Robo: The titular character generally dismisses Dr. Dinosaur's rants as complete nonsense, which is definitely a reasonable conclusion to make, but nevertheless, in the Savage Sword of Doctor Dinosaur, he is proven right about several things throughout the course of the story, such as the possibility of time travel, the existence of Hollow Earth, the power of CRYSTALS, and the existence of a giant magma worm. Nobody knows how this is possible, but it's Dr. Dinosaur, who does impossible things daily. | |

Grandpa Simpson in The Simpsons Movie has a vision where he rambles about "Twisted tail...a thousand eyes...trapped forever... EEEPA! EEEPA!" Turns out he was predicting the plot of the movie, where a lake in Springfield gets so polluted that it mutates animals, so the EPA puts Springfield in a dome. It gets lampshaded later on: "My god, the crazy old man in church was right!" by himself. | |

In Higurashi: When They Cry, two of the most insane characters actually come the closest to breaking the truth about what actually happened. Rena deduces that the the men in the white van are after her and want to kill her. She also decrees that the men going to see Chie-sensei and tending to their garden was really suspicious. Actually, this turns out to be true, as they are indeed out to kill the gang. The Yamainu drive around in their van and monitor their victims to take advantage of them. Next, in Tatarigoroshi-hen, Keiichi takes a ride with Takano and notices Tomitake's bike in the back of the car she is in, he questions her and she says it indeed belongs to him. He asks her where he is, but she turns creepy and he wisely gets away from her. He had every right to be suspicious of her. She is the Big Bad. The one who got the closest was Shion Sonozaki to solving the mystery behind Oyashiro-sama's curse. She correctly deduced that Tomitake was killed by a drug to make him crazy and scratch out his throat, that Rika was coming to inject her with a drug, that someone was following Rena and Satoshi, Hanyuu was following them, that someone wanted the bodies of Miyo Takano and Tomitake to be found, and that Takano probably faked her death. She also assumed that when she thinks of the killer, she thinks of nurses and doctors. Takano was a nurse. If she hadn't assumed the Sonozakis were behind it, she would have stopped Takano. |

Done in Schlock Mercenary, by Lieutenant Shore "Pi" Pibald (who is "every bit as irrational as his namesake"), who correctly guessed the true nature of Credomar and whose "favorite" scenario for how things could go wrong in Oisri was quite close to correct, down to the main deviation being how the "genocidal nanotech" was used. Later he correctly identified why a rampaging Gav-clone turned super soldier was killing all his victims with head injuries; If Balt Binion came back with a different personality after his head was regenerated, it's likely that all the transmogrified Gavs will come back with a similarly hostile personality. Schlock also throws around really wild guesses, some of which hit precisely. |

In Bakuman。, the highly eccentric Nizuma is nevertheless often right about manga. When looking over works that Mashiro and Takagi, Fukuda, and Aoki and Nakai plan to submit to the Golden Future Cup, he predicts that two of them are tied for first place but refuses to say which to avoid upsetting the one in third. He's correct, as Detective Trap and Kiyoshi Knight- Muto Ashirogi and Fukuda's work, respectively are tied for first place in an unprecedented result. | |

In Pacific Rim, Hermann claims that the rate of the kaiju attacks is increasing exponentially, and will continue to do so until kaiju are attacking every hour. His prediction sounds like a completely ludicrous extrapolation, but it turns out to be completely accurate, right down to his final prediction that eventually multiple kaiju will attack at once. | |

In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Yasuhiro is a bit odd and rather ditzy but one of his predictions is more correct than he realizes. At the start of Chapter 4, he predicts no more murders will occur. This being only halfway through the game, the characters (and the audience) doubt that, but he is right in that there are no more homicides. Sakura's death was a suicide. Mukuro's murder had happened weeks earlier. Makoto survives his execution and the mastermind willingly executes herself. And if that prediction was wrong, he also predicts that he and Makato's children will have the same mother.

Rebuild World: The at-first-unhinged-seeming Cyber Ninja Nelia gets decisively proven right in her Villainous Crush claims that she and Akira go great together when they work perfectly in a Badass Minds Think Alike situation, with Akira being In Love with Your Carnage just like she was when they first met. In part due to Nelia's weirdness serving as Commonality Connection to Akira's own I Gave My Word and Consummate Professional values. | |

Parents of Ponyville features four different accounts of what happened at a parent-teacher conference. The two parents both give obviously biased, self-serving accounts, while the teacher Cherilee gives a relatively plausible story, and the child Terry tells a nonsensical story about flying through space fighting aliens. It's later implied that Terry's story was the true one. | |

MonsterVerse: In Godzilla (2014), Joe Brody's obsession with his wife's death has left him more than a little nutty, but he was still right about the cover up. Dr. Serizawa has been claiming since the 2014 movie that Godzilla is in fact a guardian of Earth's natural balance and that him staying alive is key to mankind's survival, but it isn't until the ending of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) that he's proven right. In Godzilla vs. Kong, Bernie Heyes is a crazy conspiracy theorist, where majority of his theories are wrong (for one, he believes tap water is used to dumb down the population), but he was right that Apex Cybernetics is plotting something sinister to provoke Godzilla. |

Danganronpa: In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Yasuhiro is a bit odd and rather ditzy but one of his predictions is more correct than he realizes. At the start of Chapter 4, he predicts no more murders will occur. This being only halfway through the game, the characters (and the audience) doubt that, but he is right in that there are no more homicides. Sakura's death was a suicide. Mukuro's murder had happened weeks earlier. Makoto survives his execution and the mastermind willingly executes herself. And if that prediction was wrong, he also predicts that he and Makato's children will have the same mother. In the bad ending, that is exactly what happens (although it's Zig-Zagged as that ending ended up being Makoto's Daydream Surprise). Akane in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is far from being one of the more book-smart members of the cast but has fantastic intuition that occasionally leads to breakthroughs in a case. In Chapter 2 when she and Hajime discover a high window that could be used as a potential escape route for the killer, she says that the only person that could get up there would be a Ninja. She ends up being proven completely right, as the killer ended up being the Ultimate Swordswoman Peko, who used a Stepping-Stone Sword to escape through it. Miu Iruma in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony ends up inadvertently leading the class to the correct conclusion through her investigative efforts, such as discovering the killer's trap in the first case using a drone she built to avoid doing any actual legwork. Additionally, she manages to accurately finger the killer in every trial she participates in but lacks the deductive skills to answer the how and why. Kaito Momota in V3 was a Ditzy Genius like Miu but an Excellent Judge of Character with an accurate and consistent read of the emotions and motivations of other people, although his total lack of logic often undermines this. In Chapter 1, when Kaito is gathering up a group of students to fight Monokuma, he looks Maki up and down for about two seconds and instantly concludes, "Yeah, you look like you know how to fight." As far as anyone knows at this point, Maki is the Ultimate Child Caregiver, probably the last person you'd think would be any good in a fight. One chapter later, it's revealed that she'd been lying about her talent. She's actually the Ultimate Assassin. |

In Superman story The Phantom Zone, the Phantom Zoners manage to manipulate former fellow inmate Quex-Ul into releasing them. When they are leaving Quex-Ul's apartment, Jer-Em tries to talk two Zoners -Az-Rel and Nadira- out of their plan, reasoning that they were meant to serve time in the Phantom Zone, and defy Rao's will by invading Superman's cherished Earth is a terrible idea. Both Kryptonian criminals dismiss his words as superstitious nonsense of a crazy doomsayer, though, and Jer-Em has to point out that it is possible to be crazy and right. Jer-Em is definitely proved right when both Kryptonians get killed off. | |

Red vs. Blue: A lot of the seemingly crazy things Caboose says actually turn out to be right (at least to some degree) in the long run. For example, in the first season he thinks that Church is "a gay robot", and six years later comes the big Reveal that Church was in fact an A.I. rather than a human. After a time travel episode, he also notes that "Time... line? Time isn't made out of lines. It is made out of circles. That is why clocks are round." which actually fits with the eventual series theme of events going in circles, including a Stable Time Loop. In Season 8, Doc, Agent Washington, and the Meta are heading to Sidewinder to track down Church. Wash stops the jeep, and notes that there might be a trap waiting, one set up by a freelancer. Doc suggests that Wash noticing the trap might be part of the trap, but Wash assures him that he's overthinking things. Then it turns out that they stopped the jeep in the center of a circle of proximity mines. Doc manages to say, "Told you so" just before the kaboom. |

A Very Potter Musical, and this is quite the spoiler: Draco insists that Hogwarts is a terrible school and he's going to get transferred to Pigfarts, which appears to be him making up completely random nonsense for attention: Pigfarts is on Mars, is run by a lion named Rumbleroar, which is suspiciously similar to Dumbledore's name, and of course no one else has ever heard of it. When it's suggested Draco go to Pigfarts and leave the heroes alone, this prompts Draco to flip out and berate Harry for not having a spaceship. But then, near the end of the play, Rumbleroar actually appears to Dumbledore and flies him off to Mars, and in A Very Potter Sequel, it turns out that Luna is familiar with Pigfarts as well. | |

She's the only person who supports Moana's sailing the ocean, and she's the one that tells Moana what she can do to save their people (her son / Moana's father on the other hand angrily throws away the "Heart" stone that will eventually help save them.) Moana's goes on the mission her grandmother encouraged her to go on - sailing across the ocean, returning the Heart stone to the Big Bad who then transforms back into the Big Good it was before, finding new islands and sources of food, and when she returns back to her people, reminding them that they are voyagers at heart. | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! GX there was Princess Rose, a Society of Light member in the second season. She certainly seemed to be rather spacy (even more so in the dub, where she talked like a Valley Girl). A fan of the fairy tale The Frog Prince all her life, she insisted that she could see the spirits of the Des Frogs in her cards, much like Judai and Manjyome could, giving them names and calling them "princes". However, Judai wasn't able to see them (although he tried to keep open-minded) and Manjyome was downright rude to her about it, calling her insane (You might be able to chalk a lot of that up to the fact he was brainwashed at the time). However, after Judai finally won the duel, he finally was able to see one of the spirits she was speaking of. It seemed they did exist, though the spirit was a humanoid frog in a suit rather than a handsome prince like Rose thought. | |

Bottle, a quirky contestant with a childlike sense of optimism and cheerfulness, advises him not to push it, especially because Winner is perfectly content with his obscurity and their team already had a willing performer in Yellow Face. Clock disregards her advice, and when Two arrives to judge their attraction, Clock tries to push Winner onstage. Winner refuses to perform, resulting in Clock's team having nothing to show for their attraction and being up for elimination the next episode. | |

Stargate: Daniel Jackson is first showing being laughed at and his audience walking out when he completely rejects the Egyptological consensus on the origin and antiquity of ancient Egyptian culture during a lecture. It is heavily implied that he's living on the cusp of poverty due to his eccentric theories (that's most probably because he can't get a good academic job). When he travels to the other planet and sees the pyramid, he sighs "I knew it", his theories fully vindicated (although even he didn't explicitly claim aliens were behind ancient Egypt). | |

Hatoful Boyfriend: Anghel Higure is a bird who's... not quite right in the head. Just for starters, he's convinced that he's a Fallen Angel and the heroine is his reincarnated love Edel Blau, regularly crashes through glass windows and loudly proclaims that he can sense demon spores that must be eradicated at once, and treats even the most pedestrian decisions as life-and-death matters. However, in the Bad Boys Love route, it turns out that at least one part of his ramblings actually has validity to it: the "demon spores" he keeps on ranting about and senses the most strongly in the infirmary were most likely the Charon virus Doctor Shuu was preparing to infect Ryouta with in the same infirmary, which indicates that he can actually sense diseases/viruses that no one else can. There's a scene where Anghel can talk to Nageki Fujishiro, who is baffled. Partly because Anghel is... being Anghel, but also because he's talking about things from before Nageki's death five years ago that he should have no way of knowing. It goes far beyond this, in fact: After you've completed Bad Boy's Love, going back to the regular routes and listening to Anghel again will leave you with the mind-blasting realization that everything he says, which once came off as complete nonsense, describes the events of that plot perfectly, leaving you with the impression that perhaps Anghel is the only sane bird at St. Pigeonation's. |

Mega Man Recut has this. In "The Strange Island Of Dr Wily", Dust Man makes a ridiculous rant about the Bermuda Triangle and how the island Wily is going to is haunted. Considering all the weird stuff that starts happening shortly after Wily and the Robot Masters arrive, he had a pretty good point. | |

Mr. Tweedy from Chicken Run is convinced that the chickens are up to something and that they're organised. His wife thinks that he's deluded and that the chickens are outdone only by Tweedy himself when it comes to stupidity. Of course he's absolutely right, they are up to something and they are organised (sort of). | |

Critical Role: During Campaign 3, Bell's Hells encounter a fairy in the middle of the forest during one of their rests. Fearne, who grew up in the Feywild and is a big fan of stealing from people and touching absolutely everything, uncharacteristically wants nothing to do with it, stating that fairies are bitches. The rest of the group talks her into checking it out anyway, so she approaches it and is immediately devoured by a carnivorous plant using the fairy as a lure. | |

Throughout the Zero Escape series the protagonists will be bombarded with conspiracy theory, parapsychology, obscure philosophy, and occultism. A few characters in particular (like June and Lotus in Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors) will unload long explanations that sound like utter nonsense at the drop of a hat. Their actual In-Universe accuracy rate is about 75% — and even when one of their theories is completely wrong it still hints at the truth. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Adeptus Mechanicus carries out incredibly bizarre rituals to assuage the "machine spirits" of various machines. It's heavily implied, however, that "machine spirits" are real, at least in a manner of speaking - whether machines actually have spirits within them (this would be far from the strangest thing in this universe) or whether they're actually rudimmentary artificial intelligences, the tech-priest rituals actually work for their intended purpose, and not performing them can result in all sorts of unpleasant outcomes. This also applies more broadly to the Imperium's obsession with religious iconography, which is often lampshaded as absurd and useless superstition. However, the setting also contains literal demons that tend to corrupt everything they come into contact with and runs on a certain level of Your Mind Makes It Real and Clap If You Believe, so the Imperium's religious devotion sometimes does actually give them just enough of an edge to win. |

In My Little Pony: Equestria Girls, there's a Running Gag where Pinkie Pie's human counterpart blurts out silly theories whenever a question comes up. When it comes time for Twilight to reveal the truth, she's preempted by Human Pinkie correctly guessing that she's a pony princess from a magical dimension that has come to this one to get back a magical artifact. Twilight and Spike are briefly stunned before the latter assures them that she was surprisingly accurate. The same thing happens when they return to Equestria at the end of the movie and Twilight gets teased for possibly having a crush on one of the castle guards, with Pony Pinkie summarizing the movie's romance subplot by guessing said guard is the pony counterpart to the human guitarist Twilight actually developed feelings for during the film. Both times, the Pinkies attribute their guess to "Just a hunch." | |

Akane in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is far from being one of the more book-smart members of the cast but has fantastic intuition that occasionally leads to breakthroughs in a case. In Chapter 2 when she and Hajime discover a high window that could be used as a potential escape route for the killer, she says that the only person that could get up there would be a Ninja. She ends up being proven completely right, as the killer ended up being the Ultimate Swordswoman Peko, who used a Stepping-Stone Sword to escape through it. | |

In Men in Black, this is how J gets the job — him and a group of straight-laced soldiers are put into two tests. The first test is a written one; the soldiers fight to get comfortable and write on their legs, J drags the (metal) table over to his seat. The second test is target practice; the soldiers go gung-ho on the random aliens, J shoots a little girl and explains that her being out among the others in the middle of the night carrying highly-advanced books probably means she's the real threat. Later material reveals he's quite right! | |

The Abridged Series, Tristan mistakes a reference to Lord of the Flies (since they're a bunch of teenagers on an island) to one for "that movie with the evil ring and the hobbits", and is immediately lambasted for thinking those would be on the island. The episode promptly notes that both are on the island: the Millennium Ring, which is an evil ring, and Yugi, who is really short. | |

Dark City provides one of the most shocking examples: everyone believes Detective Eddie Walenski has been driven mad by the stress of his job, the horror of the serial killer case he'd been working on, and other pressures. Walenski, on the other hand, keeps saying that there is no case, his wife is not his wife, that things keep changing on a nightly basis, that everyone's past has been erased, and the only way out of the trap they're all in is to kill oneself. He is, of course, utterly and completely correct. | |

The Sandman (1989): Delirium of the Endless is one serious Cloudcuckoolander with bipolar tendencies. Nevertheless, the members of the Endless family tend to embody not only what their names might suggest (dying, despairing, destroying) but also the opposite (being born, hoping, re-/creating). Delirium claims more than once to know things that even Destiny — the guy who has everything about the universe written down in his big book of all that was and will be — does not. Is she just boasting? Or is she (due to the Endless' duality) the queen of the cuckoos and secret keeper of true enlightenment combined? Delirium is capable of becoming sane at will, but it causes her great pain to do so. This might suggest that the other half of her dual nature is in fact the sort of merciless, soul-crushing reality that makes people go crazy in the first place. From the same series comes Mad Hettie, a minor-league witch whose primary power seems to be wrapped up in her immortality. She's perpetually homeless and crazy as a bedbug to boot. But when she gives you a warning... especially if you're just some guy walking down the street... you'd better freaking listen, because your whole life might depend on it. |

In Megatokyo, Largo is treated as a Cloudcuckoolander by most of the class, but Tokyo IS a World of Weirdness, and personal relationships DO lead to more trouble than would be expected. Early on, he was telling Piro and Erika about his encounter with a horde of zombies, and nobody took him seriously, including most of the audience, who recognize that Largo is way too obsessed with video games, and when he says he was being chased by zombies, it was probably just a crowd of goths or fanboys he had managed to upset. Years later (or a week in webcomic time), the zombies return, and it's explicitly shown that they're flesh-eating monsters from another dimension. Piro and Erika still don't believe him. | |

The Fruit of Grisaia: Both Makina and especially Michiru are capable of talking a lot of nonsense, however sometimes their insight is spot on. Michiru is the one who manages to guess (on pure gut instinct) the true nature of Yuuji's occupation suspecting him to be somekind of spy or terrorist, which considering that he works as an agent for a secret government organization, is not far off the mark. Makina accurately guesses that after the initial outburst of hostility Yumiko will mellow out. |

In Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues, Mr. Morrison is able to perceive the Mass Super-Empowering Event while the other adults cannot. This is because he vapes. Combined with his strange behaviour and ramblings, he struggles to have people take him seriously. | |

At some point in the third arc of Durarara!!, Walker and Erika casually decide that Simon and Dennis, the owners and staff of the local Russian Sushi restaurant that they regularly eat at, are secretly Former Regime Personnel on the run from The Mafiya. The next volume proves them completely right. | |

One chapter of Broken Saints features eccentric egg farmer Masayuki, who tells a silly story to Kamimura (one of our heroes), and is hardly seen again. As it turns out, the moral of that story is the central message of the whole series. | |

In Dark Skies, the couple being terrorized goes to see Edwin Pollard, a ufologist. At first, they clearly aren't impressed by him, as he lives in a cluttered, messy apartment surrounded by cats and discusses alien invasion as casually as one would discuss the weather. However, they quickly realize that a lot of symptoms commonly experienced by alien abductees are exactly what they and their children are experiencing. By the end of the movie, he's proven completely right. | |

Deadpool is convinced that he's a fictional character in a comic book, but since he's insane other characters dismiss this along with his other delusional ramblings. | |

In The Cabin in the Woods, Marty is The Stoner, always talking about the "puppeteers" and how he isn't going to be controlled by them. It turns out the characters are being manipulated, and it goes way deeper than even Marty guessed. | |
