You Have to Believe Me!	comment	Say a character finds out about a paranormal phenomenon, or a sinister conspiracy. There wouldn't be much of a plot left if they could just call the police and let them take care of it. In these cases, heroes will simply talk like stereotypical paranoid schizophrenics. They will continually repeat a bizarre claim in a panicked voice. They will avoid mentioning what led them to believe it in the first place. They will be vague on details. They will never consider sticking to the provable and/or plausible parts of the story for the time being. Most important, they will be stunned and angry that anyone would find their claim implausible, regardless of how implausible it would be even if they weren't completely flushing any credibility they might otherwise have down the toilet in their method of persuasion. In extreme cases, they may respond to skepticism by wondering out loud if the disbeliever is "in on it" or "one of Them." And if anyone tries to calm them down, rather than taking a few deep breaths, sitting down for a moment, and coming back to the problem in a calmer fashion, they will immediately violently lash out, thus prompting the immediate summoning of the nearest security guards to have them ejected from the premises. And then they wonder why no one believes them. What's more, this will give the heroes a reputation for Crying Wolf or being Windmill Crusaders, making it even harder for them to get anyone to believe that the threat is real. Of course, the senseless deaths of the skeptics is often seen as a karmic comeuppance in favor of the hero, even if it was the heroes' fault they aren't believed in the first place. The other side of this trope is that, if the person making the claim sounds crazy, the listener will dismiss them to the point of going out of their way to dismiss them, no matter how simple it would be to investigate. When someone is screaming "THERE IS AN ALIEN DIRECTLY BEHIND YOU WHICH IS ABOUT TO EAT YOU YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE ME I TELL YOU!", you can be assured that the listener will not turn around; they will, in fact, stubbornly and strenuously refuse to turn around. A possible cause of any disbelief towards the explanation of "aliens did it" in a continuity where aliens and alien invasion are not only known and documented, but semi-regular events.note After all, in Real Life, terrorist attacks are definitely known to occur, but that doesn't mean you'd believe some random wack-job off the street who's ranting about a secret society that's planning to bomb the White House within the hour. (Of course, this may be because some people are just stubbornly, willfully stupid, but hey.) A subversion occurs when a normal person pulls this trope on a Conspiracy Theorist. Not only will he believe you, he'll also try to convince you that the situation is much MUCH worse than you think, and he will often already have plans in motion to do something about it. See also So Crazy, It Must Be True, where the person you're trying to convince believes your story because it's so outlandish. Contrast We Need to Get Proof, where the character realizes that nobody will believe him unless he comes up with some real evidence. A kind of Poor Communication Kills. See It Was Here, I Swear!, Cassandra Truth, Ignored Expert, Properly Paranoid, Not Helping Your Case, and You Can See That, Right? Anyone invoking the trope is often dismissed as a Windmill Crusader or Cloud Cuckoo Lander — at least until the threat turns out to be No Mere Windmill, thus proving that The Cuckoolander Was Right. Sometimes, this overlaps with Clap Your Hands If You Believe â€” the character must convince someone to believe because belief itself is necessary to save the day.

You Have to Believe Me! / int_1452d0c4	comment	Control Z: Part of Javier's defense in 1.06 when he tries to explain to SofÃa that he isn't the hacker after the truth about his dark past comes out, but SofÃa solemnly replies that she doesn't recognize him anymore. In 2.01 and 2.06, SofÃa invokes this twice. When Nora scolds Sofia for lying about her father's death and Susana accuses her of being an accomplice to Raul's scheme in harboring Gerry from the police for Luis's murder, she truthfully assures that she has no idea where they are, and that she had nothing to do with the latter. However, both of them outright refuse to believe her. Alex also doesn't believe Sofia about the Gerry situation, believing that she had taken advantage of her guilt. Subverted for Alex in 2.07 as she seems to quickly forget about it as if it never happened. In 2.08, Natalia anguishedly tries to explain to Javier that her unusual encounter with his father is not what he thought, as she was desperate in getting the money to pay off the dealers who had threatened her, but Javier breaks up with her anyway.

You Have to Believe Me! / int_169f043b	comment	StarCraft: In Starcraft: Brood War, Aldaris incites a major military revolt and goes off on a mindless tirade about how evil the Dark Templar are and how they would doom the Protoss society. Just as he is finally defeated and starts to explain what he's discovered, Kerrigan pops in and assassinates him. The heroes eventually find out the hard way that Aldaris was right two campaigns later....all because the guy descended into a raving lunacy rather than rationally approaching the dilemma. Almost completely subverted by Zeratul in StarCraft II. True enough, he starts out as if he's going to play this trope straight, coming to Raynor in a dark corridor and acting all crazy and hurried, but he does give ol' Jimmy all of the information he has, expressed as logically as possible. It's also hard to fault him for boarding the ship in secret, because, well, he's a Protoss (and a Dark Templar to boot), and that's just the way they do things.

Given that both Murphy and Sanchez are fellow prisoners who don't exactly get along with each other, it's not surprising that Murphy treats Sanchez's claim that he was fending off a monster with skeptism and tries to hold him back. Murphy does believe Sanchez soon enough — after said female-looking figure, which turns out to be a monster, slashes Sanchez's throat and kills him before turning its attention on Murphy and attacking him, that is.

When he meets police detective Michelle in the season, Toby decides the only way to avoid all this is to tell her the truth and then reads her mind, answering her questions verbally until Michelle believes him.

You Have to Believe Me! / int_1f9f4419	comment	In the first few minutes of the 1982 version of The Thing (1982), some Norwegians land their helicopter near the American base and start shooting at (what looks like) a Siberian Husky. When some of the Americans come out to see what all the fuss is about (including the security guy with his revolver), instead of dropping their guns and deescalating things, the Norwegians keep excitedly shouting (in their native tongue) and shooting at the dog. The security guy pops them both before they can tell the Americans about the dog-thing. However, if you understand Norwegian, they pretty clearly and succinctly explain the entire plot of the movie. Too bad none of the American characters understood the language.

So he takes her to his aunt's Trailer Full of Crazy, shows her all the medieval weaponry, the books of Grimm lore (in languages she doesn't understand and full of gruesome illustrations) and the collection of Nazi propaganda films and earnestly explains that several people they know are monsters that only he can see, pausing every few sentences to beg her to believe him. For obvious reasons, she thinks he's delusional, and he can't get her to the hospital until after she collapses. The next season he gets to try this again as a case of Magical Amnesia has wiped Juliet's memory of the event. This time he is much calmer, and makes sure that he can back up his claims by actually having some friendly Wesen transform into their Game Face in front of her.

Oh, and the standard treatment to the obvious diagnostic always seems to instantly kill the patient if administered before House stops them. Then again, it doesn't help his case that he's a sarcastic curmudgeon with a bad case of pain killer addiction... Plus House himself will usually come up with a completely wrong diagnosis, that nearly kills the patient, before he comes up with the right one. The episode that this quote is from actually makes this a Chekhov's Gun. House begins to suspect something's up because the team is too quick to agree with him. He's right. The entire thing is a hallucination.

Insane, I tell you!") the writers note that if you're trying to convince people you're not crazy, it's not a good idea to end any sentences with "I tell you." Or worse, "I tells you." Lampshaded in "Treehouse of Horror VII" where Kang and Kodos abduct Homer and spray him with booze before releasing him so that his warnings will be dismissed as drunken ravings. The "Terror at 5 1/2 Feet" segment in "Treehouse of Horror IV", per its source material. Bart, crazed with fear, fails to convince his fellow passengers of the gremlin dismantling the school bus but does succeed in freaking them all out to the point where after he's been proven right, they stick him in an insane asylum anyway. In "King Size Homer", Homer, trying to get a ride to the power plant so he can manually shut it down before it explodes, ends up yelling incoherently at passing motorists while panicking.

However, the studio was not satisfied ending on such a dark note, and added a Framing Device of the hero in a hospital telling his story to a pair of FBI agents, who don't believe him either... until a passing orderly mentions a car accident involving a truck full of strange, vegetable-like pods.

Played straight in Season 2 since the government covered up what happened in Season 1 and Molly suffered a nervous breakdown due to John's death and Ethan's seizure by the government. She is committed to a "rest home" and her efforts to convince people that she is sane quickly devolve into this trope. It is then subverted when Molly decides that it does not matter if people think she is insane as long as they also think that she possesses useful information they need in the current crisis.

You Have to Believe Me! / int_27f4c7fb	comment	The eponymous character in Coraline attempts to contact the police and explain that her parents were kidnapped, but once she gets to the part about the Other Mother, they shrug it off. Admittedly, she could have at least convinced them that her parents really were missing, but that doesn't mean they could do anything constructive. She also tells Wybie what's going on, but she doesn't try very hard to convince him, and is more venting at him than trying to explain anything. (Also somewhat justified by Wybie being rather a smart-arse.) She loses all credibility (despite telling the complete truth) when she starts throwing shoes at him.

The "Horror Vacation" trilogy (Scaredy Cat, Claws for Alarm, and Jumpin Jupiter) starring Porky Pig and Sylvester the Cat is built around this trope, with Sylvester constantly being terrorized by either malevolent mice or sinister aliens and repeatedly trying to convince his owner Porky that the threats are real, with Porky constantly and snarkily denying it all. Porky even accuses Sylvester several times of being mentally unbalanced.

Even when she's convinced to listen by Evie though and he talks calmly, she still thinks he's nuts.

You Have to Believe Me! / int_367fab9a	comment	Wire in the Blood has an interesting case. After the police crack the M.O. of a serial killer, it becomes vitally important to alert his latest prospective victim (who is already waiting to meet him) to the danger, without spooking her into hanging up or dismissing the call as a prank. Psychologist Tony Hill immediately demands that he be given the phone; he then adopts exactly the right inflection so that she not only listens to him, but believes him, gives the police her location, and agrees to lock herself into a bathroom stall until he will arrive, using his name as a pass word. This is an inversion in that it is the police convincing a citizen of a sinister plot and not vice versa, and an aversion in how professionally the task is handled. However, while Hill is a brilliant theoretical analyzer of criminals, he is also shown as very socially inept and in fact often more of a liability when interviewing friends and relatives of victims. For him to be that convincing is actually out of character, which might count as a hyper-aversion.

However, this falls apart when Belle provides evidence of the Beast's existence to prove that Maurice was telling the truth, though this only drives a jealous Gaston to rally the townspeople to kill the Beast.

It involves a man (Charles Durning) who has a horrific dream of a plane crashing into his house in the middle of the night. As he walks among the wreckage, he sees ghosts of some of the passengers and the ghost of the pilot talking about having to attempt take off too early due to something being on the runway. He wakes up and, while still in pajamas and robe, heads to the airport. While there, he sees the things that were part of the wreckage in his dream (including a girl's Teddy Ruxpin toy) and some of the ghosts. Convinced his dream was a prophecy, he keeps trying to convince the passengers, crew, security and so on that the plane's going to crash and gets more and more frustrated by people not taking him seriously. In the climax, he's on the tarmac and sees a single-engine plane with a drunk pilot taxiing onto the runway, heading into the path of the airliner. He rams the plane with a forklift, saving the passengers. Security grabs him and he says: "They were going to crash! You gotta believe me!" At which point, they finally do.

In the first book, she's sent to a group home, where she's diagnosed (incorrectly) as a schizophrenic — she's actually a necromancer. After realizing that she and the other kids are in danger, and then escaping and being chased down by the staff with tranquilizer guns, Chloe manages to get to her Aunt Lauren's house. Once there, she immediately tells Lauren about being hunted down by the staff. But rather than blurt out the entire insane story to Lauren, Chloe leaves out the part where she's a necromancer, ghosts are real, she accidentally raised the dead, and the people she was fleeing with include a fire half-demon, a sorcerer, and a werewolf. And, in an even further aversion, before going to her aunt, Chloe actually takes the time to go back to the scene to bring evidence in the form of a tranquilizer dart, because she knows that she'll be just brushed off as crazy otherwise. So it's a damn shame that all of this effort goes to waste when it turns out that her aunt knew about everything all along, and was, in fact, in on the whole plot.

Subverted earlier in the episode when Sam catches Dean stealing a silver knife; as he's a loser in this particular reality, Dean simply says that he owes money to a loan shark. Subverted in "The Rapture". Jimmy Novak, Castiel's vessel, tells his wife that he was in a psych ward during the time he was possessed by Castiel. This backfires while he later begs his wife to believe him that his best friend is possessed by a demon and threatening their daughter; naturally she thinks he's had a psychotic relapse. In "Road Trip", Crowley enters Sam's Mental World to warn him that he is possessed by Gadreel. Sam doesn't believe him until Crowley shoots him and nothing happens. Averted in "First Blood". The Winchester brothers have been arrested for attempting to assassinate the President of the United States and since no-one would believe that POTUS has been possessed by Lucifer himself, they just maintain an absolute silence.

This plus the fact that Pike wrote his dissertation on the anomalous event Kirk is trying to prove is happening a second time gets Pike to give Kirk the benefit of the doubt. It also helps that when Kirk is given one chance to explain himself, he does so in a fairly calm and rational manner, at least compared to most people described on this page.

Their concern is admittedly justified, because until recently he'd been a patient in an asylum after suffering a nervous breakdown on a plane, and because he's played by William Shatner, completely hamming it up.

Fives, who has found out that all the clone troopers have mysterious chips in their brains, is drugged with a compound that increases his aggression and paranoia, so when he tries to tell others, like Anakin and Rex, about the chips, he's incapable of expressing himself coherently. It's revealed next season and in the Sequel Series, however, that Rex did listen, filed a grievance report voicing his suspicions, and (along with a few other clones) had his chip removed as a result.

Scrooge's attempts to deny being her husband fall under this trope, especially when she demands a "divorce" (meaning that she would get half his fortune), and he blurts out that he'd rather "stay married," which of course the judge interprets as meaning they already are married...

Surely enough, no matter how crazy the story was it all turns out to be true. In the DLC Dragonborn you can come across I barely clothed madman shouting about how a book inserted his secrets. No matter how calmly you talk to him he'll attempt to attack you. He's right of course, because All Myths Are True, but what makes it maddeningly is that you can know it's true by accessing one of these books before you've ever met him yet you still treat him like a complete nutcase.

After trying out the local rumor (looking at a blank TV screen on a rainy night will reveal your soulmate), the protagonist, Yosuke, and Chie are all talking to each other about their experience the previous night. The main character, unlike the other two, was a bit more hands-on, and managed to fit his head into his TV, which he then calmly and casually explains to them. Thinking it to be dream or a bad joke, Yosuke and Chie take him to the electronics aisle of the local department store, sarcastically suggesting that he could climb right in through one of the flatscreen televisions. When they suggest for him to prove what he said that he did, he promptly sticks his hand into the TV, and then, when curiosity overtakes him, his whole upper torso, at which point Chie and Yosuke begin freaking out. Unfortunately played straight if he tries to tell his uncle about it later. Despite the TV in the room.

One encounter in the Hospital finds your protagonist dealing with a 'crazy person'. They can realize that the main difference between them is that nobody believes the patient's story. Alternately, failing to pass the stat check leads the protag to dismiss their ramblings.

He usually doesn't rant and rave, but the fact that he talks about these things like they're perfectly reasonable and the person he's talking to is just a close-minded idiot doesn't help his credibility. This becomes almost something of a Running Gag, since no matter how crazy the theory and how much Scully cites scientific research that he's wrong, Mulder is always right. It's suggested The Men in Black are pretty smart about this, deliberately acting as strangely as possible and using agents who look like famous people (or perhaps even making an agent, say, the host of a game show), so that anyone who tries to tell other people about them won't be believed. In the episode "Synchrony", an elderly man (who's actually from the future) approaches two guys and starts a rant about how one of them will die in a traffic accident while crossing the street that evening, and how this must not happen. Of course, they don't believe him. If he'd calmly started a conversation with them and held them up for just a few minutes, he'd have easily succeeded.

He actually fetches his one remaining crewmember from her safe place with the idea that people are more likely to believe her, and when she disappears he hits his Despair Event Horizon. In a later book a hacker warns Zak that the ship's computer, which Zak is trying to give full control of the ship to, is evil. Of course, he'd self-sabotaged there — in their previous interaction the hacker had agreed to let Zak examine some of the ship's functions, then immediately shut them down and blamed Zak for the failure. The hacker was also highly disheveled from being tortured by the computer, and the safeguards built into computers and droids to keep them from spontaneously becoming evil are so ingrained in popular consciousness that the idea seems laughable to Zak.

When asked why he believes Jackson, Hammond gets smart, alluding to all of the other crazy things he's seen and heard while in command of the SGC. Also played straight in several episodes. In the three episode arc that ends the first season no one believes that Daniel Jackson had gone to an alternate reality despite the fact that he had evidence in the form of a staff weapon blast on his shoulder and had disappeared for several hours with no other explanation. Later, and more (though not entirely) excusably, he has a hard time convincing people to take his theory about Teal'c's sickness seriously after he apparently develops and then recovers from schizophrenia. The latter is also a massive case of Hollywood Psych. The same thing later happened to Jonas Quinn. When he starts seeing bugs that no one else can see, Hammond immediately orders a lockdown and a full sweep of the base. Granted, Jonas was the only one to touch the strange alien device, but he was also the only one who'd spent his entire life around a specific type of radiation that's known to cause schizophrenia, so, well...

Having been presumed dead for fifteen years, he returns to New York intending to reclaim his share of his father's megacorporation. He starts by walking into headquarters looking like a hobo and asking to see the CEO. When they don't let him, he breaks into the CEO's office by attacking the guards. Once he gets there and sees childhood acquaintances Ward and Joy, he repeatedly claims to be Danny without providing any proof and is shocked that they don't believe him. He sneaks into Joy's house and admits it to her face, then breaks into Ward's car and purposely nearly crashes it in anger. When he's put in a mental asylum, he violently lashes out on multiple occasions and insists on telling everyone he's spent the last fifteen years in an extra-dimensional land and has magical powers in his fist. On occasion he sees the potential value of speaking about memories that only he would have, but he ignores plenty of good opportunities to do this (especially when speaking with Joy and Ward), preferring instead to repeat ridiculous sounding claims and attack people when they don't believe him.

But then again, Commander Shepard probably could've come up with some much better arguments. Subverted in Mass Effect 3 DLC The Citadel, where Shepard can find a recording that indicates that the Council arguably knew about the Reapers, but played dumb to prevent panic and because they honestly didn't have a clue about how to address a threat of that magnitude. Between 2 and 3, Garrus went to his father to tell him about the Reapers. Shepard thinks there was a case of this going on, but no, Garrus's father listened and believed him. Then they went to the turian higher-ups for help. Garrus figures they gave him a task-force as a way to shut him up. Andromeda shows Castis warned his buddy Alec Ryder, which gave the Andromeda Initiative proof the Reapers were about to show up, and impetus to get out of dodge before then.

Witness this exchange from "The Immortals": Another notable example is "Enigma", in which Gibbs' old CO enters stage left exemplifying this trope in full, with breathless panicked warnings about a massive black ops conspiracy going to the highest levels of the US government that's illegally manipulating wars, siphoning money out of Iraq, faked the death of Gibbs' old platoon leader to use him as one of their black operatives (before he defected to the colonel's side), and going to kill him. Turns out that the colonel actually is a paranoid schizophrenic, it was all in his head, the 'not really dead' guy is a hallucination only he can see, and the "massive conspiracy" was just a few guys embezzling some money that he stumbled across, and which his insane brain seized on and built up into a massive edifice of paranoia.

However, with most of the discussion going completely over her head, what she does remember of it when she tells her father sounds completely nuts, even though her father is currently investigating part of said gambit. Except it's not, actually, she just thought it was and presented it to him as such, so he was perhaps right to ignore her (the discussed gambit hasn't actually impacted the plot... yet), if for the wrong reasons. Brienne combines being a bad liar with getting into very hard to believe situations, with the result that she tries to tell the truth but it comes across as an incredibly bad lie. In particular everyone believes she is responsible for killing Renly, because her (factual) explanation that a magical shadow cut his throat while they were alone seems far less likely than her having killed him.

He says he doesn't want to "sugar-coat" it for her, but he then actually acts surprised and angry when Pai thinks he's nuts. (Although it turns out Pai had already seen quite a bit of evidence to support his story, and she was being a brat.) Averted and Lampshaded when Pai has been locked inside a club with demonic marionettes with her two friends Dee and Ken-Ken stuck outside. When Dee suggests they call the cops, Ken-Ken mentions this trope by sarcastically saying the cops would give them a drug test if they said things that crazy. Dee then says that they should obviously leave the parts about the dolls out and just say their friend was trapped inside a skeevy club... which is partially true and something a cop should listen to.

You Have to Believe Me! / int_a698aa86	comment	Ghostbusters: Ghostbusters (1984) inverts this trope. When they finally get to see the mayor, despite the apparent lunacy of the things they're suggesting, the Ghostbusters â€” while still stressing the urgency of the situation to him â€” nevertheless present their case in a fairly calm, reasonable, and level-headed manner (even if they do succumb to the dramatic at one point: "Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!"). Better yet, respected city officials like the City Fire Chief and the Archbishop of New York support the Ghostbusters' case with rational observations of the bizarre phenomena plaguing the city that defies any explanation other than the 'Busters' (while the Archbishop supports the Ghostbusters, he states that the rest of the clergy are still trying to reach a consensus). On the other hand, Peck, who on the surface has the more rational case (that these people are dangerous conmen), nevertheless comes across as twitchy, touchy, a bit irrational, and clearly nursing a grudge, prone to exploding into violence (albeit after being provoked by Venkman), and, on the whole, rather shifty and unreliable. Before they met with the mayor, Winston lampshades this, asking if they are seriously going to tell a judge that an ancient god is going to destroy the city. In Ghostbusters II, the Ghostbusters are institutionalized when they try to inform everyone that the subways are filling up with malevolent slime and that a painting in the Metropolitan Art Museum is coming to life at midnight on New Year's Eve. In a minor subversion, Peter is smart enough to realize that acting crazy and hysterical, as per the trope, isn't going to do anyone any good; unfortunately, the others aren't: This is despite the fact that, in the previous movie, a giant marshmallow monster rampaged through the town. Somehow everyone believes that it was a trick. Pops up again in Ghostbusters (2016) when Erin, realising the true nature of the apocalyptic threat, tries to warn the Mayor to evacuate the city and doesn't do a very good job of it. It's partly her own fault, since she's both hysterical at the time and not the most socially competent of people to begin with, but matters aren't helped when the Mayor reacts with unexpectedly passionate rage when she compares him to the Mayor in Jaws.

Joyce falls victim to this trope a bit, seeing as she has both naturally rather prone to anxiety and nervous tension and has been the victim of a campaign of discrediting/gaslighting by an abusive spouse even before her son went missing and gave her very good reason for hysterics, meaning that very few people are inclined to believe her when she insists that her missing son is somehow both alive despite all evidence including a body and yet invisibly haunting the electrics of her home. She is self-aware enough to know both that she lacks credibility and her story is fantastic, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating for her to deal with. In Season 3, her demeanor is similar in regards to the magnetism.

You Have to Believe Me! / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor, as often as not, explains that a giant psychic carnivorous alien plant is about to destroy the planet, even if everyone would be much better of if he'd come up with a plausible lie, deal with the alien, and explain later. This usually results in him being called a nutter and locked up, even if the people he's talking to should have every reason to find giant psychic carnivorous alien plants perfectly plausible. Subverted in "The Masque of Mandragora". The Doctor is arrested in Renaissance Italy while trying to find an alien energy being. He tries to explain things in Layman's Terms ("A ball of heavenly fire has come down to Earth, and I must return it to the stars!") but everyone just laughs at him, while Count Federico thinks he's a fraud posing as a sorcerer and brings in his astrologer to debate with him. As the Doctor thinks the astrologer is a fraud, things don't go well. Played with in "Rose", when Rose meets with a conspiracy theorist who has information about the Doctor (whom she has kept mysteriously bumping into). Initially, he starts off presenting his theories about why the Doctor keeps popping up in different parts of history in a calm and reasonable fashion, and presents a relatively plausible theory that she'd be likely to believe — they're all different men who are related and sharing a code name. Then, as he gets a bit carried away with having an audience, he starts getting a bit more worked up and intense, until he's convinced that Rose believes him fully and so blurts out his real theory (which is the truth) — that they're same man, and the Doctor is an alien travelling through time. Unfortunately for him, he hadn't quite won Rose over before this, who leaves believing that he's a nutcase. "The Fires of Pompeii": The Doctor tries to discourage Donna from warning people that Vesuvius is going to erupt tomorrow by telling her she'll be dismissed as a "mad old soothsayer". Later on, during the eruption, she tries to warn fleeing residents not to go to the beach (where the ash cloud will be lethal), but no one listens. Averted in "The Eleventh Hour": The Doctor breaks into a house, and keeps shouting about Prisoner Zero. He is knocked out cold, cut to a hospital. Despite our expectations, he isn't there. Later played straight in the same episode when the Doctor does beg Amy to "believe for twenty minutes." At the climax of "The Pandorica Opens", the Doctor desperately attempts to persuade the Alliance not to lock him in the Pandorica as he is the only one who can stop the TARDIS from exploding. He's rather frantic, but they don't listen to him because the Alliance is made up of all of his enemies and thus not inclined to do so. "The Woman Who Fell to Earth": The Doctor invokes the trope to get police officer Yaz to work with her instead of reporting the hostile aliens to her superiors, pointing out that they won't believe anything she says without physical evidence. Graham, meanwhile, averts it while getting information from his fellow bus drivers, by not mentioning he's looking for aliens when asking if they've seen anything unusual.

When subtler methods of informing people of their own impending death fail or are sabotaged, she always falls back on this line. Not only does it never help, it was likely similar antics from Tru's mother (who had Tru's powers) that got Davis' wife killed, so Tru should really know better.

As she's got no proof of a crime, plus she had already destroyed her credibility with them, they don't believe her. Then her (understandably) desperate, extreme means for searching herself mean they're soon on her tail (for making a witness tell her what he knows by threatening him with a gun, which she isn't allowed to have anyway).

It turns out to be this trope: he actually has brief bouts of sanity in the midst of what is otherwise an enchantment, but when he becomes un-enchanted, he's so desperate to escape it that he comes across as a raving lunatic, especially given that the people around him have already been primed to see it that way.

He actually fetches his one remaining crewmember from her safe place with the idea that people are more likely to believe her, and when she disappears he hits his Despair Event Horizon. In a later book a hacker warns Zak that the ship's computer, which Zak is trying to give full control of the ship to, is evil. Of course, he'd self-sabotaged there — in their previous interaction the hacker had agreed to let Zak examine some of the ship's functions, then immediately shut them down and blamed Zak for the failure. The hacker was also highly disheveled from being tortured by the computer, and the safeguards built into computers and droids to keep them from spontaneously becoming evil are so ingrained in popular consciousness that the idea seems laughable to Zak.

True enough, he starts out as if he's going to play this trope straight, coming to Raynor in a dark corridor and acting all crazy and hurried, but he does give ol' Jimmy all of the information he has, expressed as logically as possible. It's also hard to fault him for boarding the ship in secret, because, well, he's a Protoss (and a Dark Templar to boot), and that's just the way they do things.

Even though they witnessed storms that have literally formed in ten seconds to take down a massive, E.M.P.-shielded aircraft in one strike. And then an entire cruiser. IN HALF. Eventually, Lara realizes that she doesn't need the acting captain to believe her — just trust her, and her judgment in "going to the center of the island and killing whoever is sniping off people who try to leave the island with super-powerful technology". Since the acting captain has trusted her since the beginning, she agrees.

You'd think he'd learn after a few tries. Or alternatively, you'd think the other characters would learn that no matter how insane Merlin's initial claims may seem (or however badly he goes about explaining it), he's always — always — proven to be right by the end of the episode. Although this is finally subverted by The Dark Tower, when Merlin is trying to get the Knights to follow him. Arthur, being his usual ignorant self, starts to ignore him, but the Knights point out that it can't hurt as they're already lost, and ask Arthur to give him a chance.

While the client is obviously delusional, the woman was actually selling the names of spies, so he was right about there being a conspiracy, it just wasn't the one he thought. This is also happens to their opponent one week. When Michael finds out about a well connected father who was beating up his wife and kids, he decides to do something about it. The problem is that his brother is a gangster and therefore they have to drive a wedge between them. When they find that the father was doing side deals, they convince him that those deals have caused someone to want to kill him and that he must leave town. Unfortunately, this is when his gangster brother shows up and begins to question him. They then pass of the abusive father as crazy when Michael, Sam and Fiona all appear randomly on the street and the father begins claiming to his brother that he saw the three of them killed.

You Have to Believe Me! / int_f91de837	comment	In the sixth Harry Potter book, Harry is suspicious about Draco but unable to keep his cool about the matter, and even his best friends suspect that he's not being entirely sane about the whole thing. Aside from Dumbledore and Sirius, everyone always seems to disregard Harry's theories almost offhand: In the first book, nobody wanted to hear that he thought the Philosopher's Stone was being stolen. In the third, nobody listened when he claimed Sirius was innocent and Peter Pettigrew was still alive. He spends most of the fifth trying to convince the world Voldemort is back. Though it didn't help that the Ministry For Magic was deliberately working to discredit him. It also didn't help that Harry and Dumbledore offered no proof at all of their assertions. And in the sixth nobody, including his personal friends, believes him when he says Malfoy is a Death-Eater. This does have an instance of Crying Wolf and people do take him seriously at times (like when Mr. Weasley is attacked), but by the end of the sixth book, when Professor McGonagall is point-blank asking him for his input on something, he keeps it a secret, having apparently decided Adults Are Useless.

You Have to Believe Me! / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation, on the other hand, played this straight to start with, then tended to avert it once the beard filled in and the main characters learned to trust each other, generally responding to outlandish claims with a sensor sweep or system diagnostic — which, naturally, rarely turns up anything at first — before suggesting a sleeping pill and a nice lie down. (It still does go straight occasionally, but there's always a valid reason given for why.) A good example is "Remember Me", in which the crew are disappearing one by one, with no one but Doctor Crusher remembering that the disappeared ever existed. Nevertheless, those who are left believe her implicitly and investigate her claims diligently. The first to really question her is Captain Picard when he and Crusher are the only ones left, and even there it's more gentle than dismissive. Another is "Realm of Fear", in which minor character Barclay, who has a well-deserved reputation as a twitchy, paranoid hypochondriac, spontaneously develops a fear of the transporters, insisting that he's been bitten by something living inside the beam. Picard gives him a long, hard look... then tells Data and Geordi to tear the transporter apart looking for the problem, because he knows that Barclay is fully aware of his reputation, and wouldn't risk the humiliation of reporting to him directly unless he were absolutely positive. Another episode, "The Wounded", features a starship captain who is convinced the Cardassians are rearming in preparation to break the peace treaty with the Federation. He's right, but unfortunately, instead of amassing evidence and going to his superiors, he proceeds to just start blowing Cardassian ships away left and right and then rants like a lunatic about how "they're all the same" and "I can smell their deceit" when Picard calls him out on it. The final episode plays with every aspect of the trope, with Picard traveling through 3 time periods. The present crew believe him outright (especially when he mentions that Q is involved, meaning that any kind of weirdness is possible). The future crew has doubts, since future!Picard is suffering from a brain disorder known to cause delusions, but he calls in some favors and they go along out of a sort of familial duty. And in the past, having "just" arrived on the Enterprise, he simply opts to not tell them at all and just starts barking out orders.
