In the case of a Captain Obvious, a character notes something that is self-evident to the characters as well as to the audience (us). Incidentally, do not confuse this trope with Lampshade Hanging. It can also overlap with Non-Answer if the answer is self-evident and clearly not what the questioner wanted to know. This trope sometimes overlaps with Mathematician's Answer, when Captain Obvious is stating the obvious to be a smartass or to avoid giving a more helpful answer to a question. Slightly justified if everybody else is Captain Oblivious.
It Makes Sense in Context is what fans will say when other people bring it up. Sometimes, may be demoted to Commander Contrarian, a commander who disagrees. Not to be confused with Captain Oblivious. See also As You Know, Exactly What It Says on the Tin, Narrating the Obvious, Shaped Like Itself, Department of Redundancy Department and Captain Obvious Aesop. In some cases, this is justified because Captain Obvious is also The Ditz, or so puzzled by something that he can't help but state, well, the obvious. This means that his statements are self-evident. In other words, Captain Obvious states the obvious. After saying anything, another character might state "Gee, you think?" Or if someone's attempt at humor was disrupted, they might say Don't Explain the Joke. Most of the time, whatever he has to say should already be obvious-both to the viewers and to any other character with half a brain. But there's something wrong with his exposition. You are currently reading a self-demonstrating caption for said picture. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.Ībove is a picture demonstrating the trope. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed.
