When a person says or does something jokingly only to find out it's actually true or currently happening. Most joke reality checks are 'what if' situations.
Duder 1: "Oh my god dude look out the window at that red car. Looks like my ex's huh? What if it was? That would be so weird. She doesn't even know where I live."

Duder 2: "Holy shit dude isn't that her brother getting out of the car? That is her dude."

Duder 1: "Fuck! Are you kidding? I hope she didn't see me or my car outside."

Duder 2: "Ha ha that's funny shit. Talk about a joke reality check."
