A Fourth Wall-affirming Stock Phrase said to the Genre Savvy after they point out what's about to happen. Advise your comrades against splitting up when the power goes out during a thunderstorm? "You watch too many horror movies." Suggest getting Locked in a Room gives you a great opportunity to resolve your differences? "You watch too much TV." Try to Logic Bomb the evil AI? "You read too many sci-fi novels." X is almost always the genre/medium of the work. Similar to This Is Reality and Thinks Like a Romance Novel. Compare Not a Game, a Sister Trope expressing more anger. See also Fiction as Cover-Up. Compare I Know Mortal Kombat, when the character does have the skill the circumstance demands because he or she watched too much X. |

In The World Ends with You, if you challenge Another Day Joshua to a game of Tin Pin Slammer, he'll go off on a tangent about how we all perceive the world in our own way, seeing things different from how they are. Neku's reaction? "Kid plays too much video games." | |

On two occasions in the third season of Chuck, Charles Bartowski has told Devon that he watches too many movies: once when he asked if someone was going to assassinate Chuck after he washed out of a training program, and again when he requested to be taken to a secret base. Of course, there actually was a secret base, and Bartowski was at least worried about the possibility of an assassination attempt. | |

In Don Quixote, while he never says it outright, Sancho Panza's general attitude towards Don Quixote is fairly clearly "You read too many Chivalric Romances." Even so, there are some examples that are very near to this situation, and the fact that Don Quixote read too much and that drove him to believe that he was a knight errant is the core of the novel, and is lampshaded by the narrator since the very beginning (Chapter I Part I): | |

In the Supernatural episode "Heaven and Hell", Dean's mind immediately jumps to a Pizza Boy Special Delivery scenario when Sam uses the word "daddy" in describing a case, and replies with the page quote. Note also Sam's use of the word "again", as if this is a recurring problem with Dean. A later scene veers even closer to the related trope This Is Reality: | |

In Persona 5, in Makoto's Confidant, she befriends a classmate named Eiko, then spends the latter half of the Confidant investigating Eiko's host boyfriend to make sure he isn't taking advantage of her. In her Rank 7 event, Makoto, not having uncovered any information that would confirm her suspicions about Eiko's boyfriend, asks "Was I just biased to think that all he wants from Eiko is money?" One possible response is "You watch too many soap operas," and Makoto will admit that the idea of an immoral host preying on woman does sound like it comes from TV. | |

Inverted in the MAD parody of Under Siege. The main character says he's confused why the female lead, who hates guns and killing, would shoot and kill a terrorist in order to save the male lead's life. The female lead tells him that if he ate less and watched more TV, he'd recognize one of the oldest clichés in the book. | |

Haruhi Suzumiya: In "Remote Island Syndrome", Kyon tells Haruhi, "you read too many mystery novels" in the most varied manner at least once every three minutes, due to her constantly trying to predict a mystery just because they're vacationing on a remote island.

In Mass Effect, Corporal Richard L. Jenkins and Dr. Chakwas are discussing the Spectres before the start of the mission. Though Jenkins' statements are remarkably prescient, he spends a lot of time talking about how Spectres are above the law and can only be policed by one of their own. Dr. Chakwas says that he is confusing the Spectres with the way they are presented in the media, and accuses him of watching too much spy fiction. | |

In Cinema Snob Reviews Frozen (a fan comic where The Cinema Snob reviews Frozen), it seems Snob watches too much porn, because he has trouble looking at parts of Frozen without a dirty context. For one thing, he thought Anna was going to stick the carrot somewhere else on Olaf. Then he outright surmises he watched too much when Elsa in her slinky dress was sexier than many of the naked women he's seen. | |

In the pilot episode of Ultraman 80, the titular Ultra, posing as a humble schoolteacher named Takeshi Yamato, can sense the Minus Energy that spawns kaiju. But since there haven't been any kaiju attacks for 5 years in-universe, nobody believes him when he claims he can sense a kaiju attack about to happen - and the school's principal straight-up asks Yamato, "Have you been reading too much Manga?" | |

Wilson suggests, "Howdy, partner, put it there" while offering to shake hands. Mainwaring scoffs at this, saying he's been watching too many cowboy movies. This becomes the inevitable Brick Joke when the American captain enters and holds out his hand to Mainwaring. "Howdy partner, put it there!" | |

McAuslan. When his unit is posted to a desert fort and part of their remit is to put down any "native uprisings", MacNeill concludes that some staff officer has been watching The Desert Song. The natives of course have no interest in such things, as long as the soldiers aren't silly enough to antagonize them. It's the city dwellers who are affected by nationalistic anti-British sentiment. | |

In Northanger Abbey, Henry Tilney quickly deduces that Catherine has been reading the plot of one of her Gothic novels when he finds her snooping around his late mother's rooms, and that she's on the verge of concluding his father is a wicked murderer. As he himself read them, his guess is quite accurate, and he politely chides her for thinking that a family in civilized, modern England would act like the characters in one of those books, and she's quite ashamed. | |

Partners in Crime: Tommy's reaction to his wife's wild ideas about having adventures is "Tuppence, what have you been reading?" Tommy complains that Albert has come back from the cinema attempting to imitate The Jeeves. When they take over the International Detective Agency, he shifts personas to an equally stereotyped office boy, a role he fits rather better. While the main purpose of the book is to pastiche various styles of detective fiction, occasionally the couple remind each other that they can't expect things to work the same way they do in the stories. |

In one Judge Judy case, the Judge admonishes a young defendant who was suing a police officer (who had stopped her for speeding) for emotional distress because she felt he was "disrespectful" to her with, "You've been living in L.A. too long. I think you should probably go live somewhere else." | |

Doraemon: Nobita and the Steel Troops has Nobita and Doraemon finding out about a Robot War about to hit planet Earth and trying to warn Nobita's mother, Tamako, only for her to scold them for reading too much manga. Attempts to contact their teacher, the local police, and authorities all lead to the same result, until a frustrated Nobita finally decides to seek his bullies, Gian and Suneo. But to his surprise, Gian and Suneo believes him (despite their falling-out prior in the story). | |

Samantha of Penny and Aggie, when conspiring with other girls to defeat Penny as the most popular teen in town, can only think of such ideas as cutting breast-holes in her blouses and having a boy pretend-seduce her on hidden camera. An exasperated Meg finally says to her, "Maybe we could rip off a movie plot." | |

The Karate Kid (1984): After the eponymous kid, Daniel, expresses his naïve notions of the origins of karate, Mr. Miyagi says, "You, too much TV." Daniel replies with "That's what my mother tells me," indicating that perhaps his mother suffers from this trope instead. | |

In Emergency!, in the fourth-season episode "Details," a patient at Rampart named Mr. Dando thinks (in fact, is convinced) he has stomach cancer; however, Drs. Early and Brackett tell him otherwise (in fact, 8 other patients before him were convinced in the same way). Dr. Brackett gives him the good news (Dando asked how long he had to live): "At the outside, I'd say, 30, maybe 35 years." Brackett also said, "You don't have a fatal disease." The true diagnosis, according to Brackett, is a made-up disease called "videochondriasis" (Early agrees with that when Brackett asks him). Dando asks what that is, and Brackett clarifies: "Well, in layman's terms, too much television." Dando thinks it's from the radiation from the set, but Brackett says it's from too much of a specific kind of television: "No, from medical shows." Early then asked Dando if he saw a fake medical show called Stomach Pump the week prior to Dando coming in; Dando says he did, and Brackett then says that 8 others before Dando did as well, and were also convinced they had stomach cancer. Early says that of all of them (he and the 8 others) the "videochondriasis" diagnosis was the same. Dando does not get off entirely scott-free; he did have an infected ear. Brackett prescribes him something for the infected ear, and then he and Early leave. Early then humorously suggests another kind of television: situation comedy. | |

How they get movies in Gensokyo is not explained. | |

In one episode of Friends, Chandler and Joey stumble onto a cable porn channel they aren't paying for, and refuse to turn it off for fear that if they do they'll lose it forever. By the end of the episode, they start to lose their sense of reality and start expecting women to throw themselves at them for no reason, making them finally decide they need to turn off the porn. | |

There's an episode of The Sopranos actually titled "Watching Too Much Television". In it, Adriana comes up with the idea of getting married immediately to Christopher and thus not having to testify against him because of Spousal Privilege, after seeing the trope invoked on an episode of Murder One. However, an actual lawyer eventually explains to her that the law doesn't work in real life like on TV. | |

Code Lyoko In "XANA Awakens", Sissi remarks that Ulrich had took Odd's dog, Kiwi, to do some horrible science experiment — which is close to the truth since Ulrich intended to use the dog as a lab rat for the scanner to Lyoko. Odd remarks that Sissi watches too many horror movies — coming from the guy who would reference horror movies later on. Sissi makes a reference to a ritual sacrifice — another well known horror movie plot. And then there's that episode where XANA made robot duplicates of Kiwi and Yumi had to explain the situation, Jim blames her behavior on too many "Japanese mangoes". |
