We Have Those, Too	comment	Basically either the Fish out of Water (or another character who's visiting from elsewhere) describes something or someone shows or describes something to them, usually in a very condescending or superior manner. This is met with something along the lines of "So it's like a..." or "We have those too". Truth in Television — don't ask foreign people "do you have cable TV in Russia?" A variation involves the native being perplexed by the description because they passed that level of technology generations ago, and have much simpler ways of doing the same thing. See also Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp". Not Rare Over There and Worthless Yellow Rocks are arguably the next level of this trope: not only does the other country/group of people have the item, they have more of it than you do.

We Have Those, Too / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In the original "Treehouse of Horror", Kang and Kodos are showing the Simpsons the luxuries of their spaceship, including a most incredible form of digital entertainment... Pong. The family is predictably unimpressed. In the episode "Lisa's Wedding", Lisa's fiancÃ©e tells Homer that they have the "pull my finger" joke in Britain. Another time, Ringo Starr answers a letter from Marge: Another episode has the cops eating at Krusty Burger; Lou says that while he was in Shelbyville, he went to McDonald's, and instead of being called a non-dairy partially-gelatinated gum-based beverage he is surprised to hear it's called a "shake". This is, of course, a spoof of the "McDonald's in France" scene in Pulp Fiction.

We Have Those, Too / int_2675c915	comment	In the season one episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. where Lady Sif guest-stars, Coulson tries to acquaint her with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s computerized database. In keeping with the interpretation of Asgardians as Sufficiently Advanced Aliens, she replies that she's already familiar with such systems, having used them when visiting other not-as-advanced worlds. She even calls S.H.I.E.L.D.'s system "antiquated". Coulson can be excused for thinking Sif would be impressed, since Thor was not familiar with the modern world back in his film.

As for the specific Make-Things-Bigger Device, spyglasses, albeit ones with magical powers as well as just ordinary magnification, were mentioned in the Arabian Nights.: In Interesting Times Rincewind meets an Agatean merchant ("Disembowel-Meself-Honourably" Dibhala) who, unlike most Agateans, is terribly interested in establishing relationships with foreigners because he wants to sell them things. In a reversal of historical relations between China and Europe, all the things Dibhala mentions - tea, silk, porcelain - are freely available in Ankh-Morpork, because they were brought there by immigrants or invented by clever people. It's turned around on Rincewind when he brings up The Luggage, only to be reminded that it came from the Empire and they have plenty more.

We Have Those, Too / int_48ed41c8	comment	Subverted in Disney's Pocahontas, when John Smith explains gold to the title character. She triumphantly produces an ear of corn, at which point Smith realizes there is no gold and Ratcliffe is deluded. The idea that a culture with no metal at all might have just not mined it never seems to occur to him.
