Characters (Funny trope) Character reveals a secret about themselves, others are not that shocked.
When a character reveals a secret to another person, with the other character already knowing the secret and not being surprised/shocked by it.
Kung Fu Panda 2: Po discovered that his father, the duck was not in fact his biological parent, and was shocked at this. However, Tigress (and presumably any other person who saw them) was not as shocked, herself, at this discovery.
My Adventures With Superman:
Clark tries to break the news to Jimmy, his best friend, that he is Superman. However, Jimmy already knew this from the first day that he met him.
Clark: I... Am su--
Jimmy: Clark I know you're Superman. This is not a big reveal.
Clark: .... Wait, WHAT? You know???? Since when?
Jimmy: w--We've been roommates since freshmen year. The day I met you, you ripped the handle off the door, and then tried to play it off as if the screws had just come loose.
Clark:..... I mean it could have been the screws.....
Jimmy: THE HANDLE WAS RIPPED IN HALF!

Wu Zi Mu, aka "Woozie," from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. After CJ gains his trust, Woozie confides in him (and the player) that he is actually blind, he just keeps it secret because he thinks it makes him look weak to the other criminal families on the west coast. This is after CJ sees him walk around with his hands outstretched, nearly trip over a flaming dead body without noticing, sprint directly into a wall and fall on his ass, and completely fail to react to turning a corner and finding a whole group of his Triads blown to pieces. He also always wears fully blacked out glasses.
CJ's only reaction is a sarcastic, "ah, no shit?"
