Bait-and-Switch Comment | comment |
Someone seems at first to be saying one thing, but as they continue, they turn out to be saying something very different. Bonus points if what they turn out to be saying is the polar opposite of what they at first seemed to be saying. One form of this is to start with an analogy that is typically used in favour of perspective X... only to go on to describe why it makes more sense to use this analogy against perspective X instead. Another common one is "This isn't good... this is great" or "I didn't like it... I loved it." The fancy rhetorical term for this is paraprosdokian. If the character really was meaning to say the first thing, and then changed their mind, it's a Last-Second Word Swap or Verbal Backspace. Subtropes include: Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving Arson, Murder, and Admiration Bait-and-Switch Sentiment Beat Without a "But" Berate and Switch By "No", I Mean "Yes" Chew-Out Fake-Out Discriminate and Switch I Have Just One Thing to Say NOT! The Not-So-Harmless Punishment [Popular Saying], But... Promotion, Not Punishment Worse with Context Comedic uses of this trope can often involve Comically Missing the Point and/or Skewed Priorities, with the audience and the listener expecting the speaker to say the sensible thing, only for them to say something that dashes those hopes. Compare Distinction Without a Difference, Dramatic Pause. Compare/contrast Cue Card Pause, wherein the timing of a pause creates a similar effect. Compare and contrast Last-Second Word Swap, where someone originally intended to say one thing and decides in mid-sentence to say something else instead. Not to be confused with Bait-and-Switch Comparison. One of them is a trope where the meaning of people's sentences changes as they keep talking... and the other is Bait And Switch Comparison! (No, it really is. What, you were expecting a joke?) |

Adventure Time: In "Apple Wedding", Cinnamon Bun was told by Princess Bubblegum to "take these drinks around for us", so he took them around the forest... because he thought she said "Go to the zoo and back." In "Morituri Te Salutamus", Finn is ordered to fight Jake at the behest of the Fight King, and Finn says "I can't kill my best friend... [...] without a bigger sword!" The Fight King rather unwisely hands over his BFS, which is also his Soul Jar, which turns out to be Finn's plan all along. In "Burning Low", Princess Bubblegum seems to be jealous that Finn is spending time with Flame Princess. It turns out that PB was trying to keep them apart because Flame Princess will explode and destroy the world if she experiences an extreme emotional reaction. |

In Terrible Writing Advice, during the "Urban Fantasy" video, the creator asks whether your story needs a Love Triangle. Since it's a trope he particularly hates, hence why he suggests using it in videos full of comically bad advice, one would wonder why he's even asking that question. He then answers that no, you do not... not when you can have a Love Dodecahedron instead. | |

GreedFall: One quest involves discovering that members of the Ordo Luminis have a secret torture camp for forced conversion of the natives. One possibility for when this information is revealed, is for another Inquisitor to be shocked and mentioning that he had no idea that the camp even existed, and it seems like he's about to condemn it... but instead says he'll proudly continue his colleague's work. | |

Happens constantly on Burke's Law (especially in the 1994 revival). In the final act, Burke will get all the suspects together and go to each one, saying something that sounds like they're about to be arrested for the murder...then reveal it's just something minor or even better. Nicely played with in "Who Killed the Hollywood Headshrinker?" as Burke does the usual bit...then arrests all of them as Everybody Did It. |

At one point in Reaper Man, the wizards are on their way to the Patrician's palace and see all sorts of unusual things happening thanks to excess "life force". This includes a man chasing an animated suit, complaining that he paid a whole seven dollars for it, followed by a second pair of disembodied pants. Ridcully remarks on how unusual it is, while the Dean tries to put on airs of having Seen It All... until Ridcully explains that he's talking about a tailor selling a suit with two pairs of trousers for only seven dollars. | |

Angel: In "Carpe Noctem", Angel is giving an apparent Patrick Stewart Speech to the villain, saying he might have all the power, but the one thing he'll never have is friends. "Four of them. Standing behind you holding big, heavy things." The villain whirls round, only to get clubbed unconscious by the rest of Team Angel. The gang walk into Angel's office, only to find he's been turned into a puppet by a curse. Fred exclaims, "Oh my god, Angel, you're...you're...cute!" In Season 3, Wesley believes a prophecy that claims that Angel will kill his newborn son Connor and conspires with Angel's old enemy Holtz to spirit the baby away for his safety. The end result: Holtz double-crosses Wesley, and he ends up in the hospital with a Slashed Throat while Holtz escapes with Connor into the hell dimension Quor'toth, and Angel tries to kill Wesley in the hospital in a rage. Fred is the only one who visits Wesley in the hospital to offer sympathy, only to give him a What the Hell, Hero? speech, stating that while she understands what Wesley was trying to do and believes Angel was in the wrong for trying to kill him, she nonetheless agrees with Angel that what happened to Connor is his fault, since they're supposed to be friends, and yet he decided to go to Holtz behind their backs rather than simply trusting them; she concludes by dropping the bombshell that the prophecy was a fake and Wesley's actions were all for nothing. After years of absence, Lorne returns home and has a touching reunion with his mom. Played for Drama when Cordelia has a vision of a domestic homicide in the middle of giving Wesley advice on his love life. |

In the French-Canadian series Radio Enfer, during the first episode of Season 2, Carl tells Maria about the stuff Léo and Camille did during summer vacation as a couple. He says that Camille managed to "déniaiser"note a French word that can mean either "to smarten up" or "to lose one's virginity" Léo. Maria thinks Camille made Léo lose his virginity, only for Carl to clarify that Camille made Léo go shopping, much to Maria's disappointment. | |

Often used by Charlie in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia when someone says something stupid to him and it seems like he's about to criticize them, but instead he goes right along with it. When Mac and Dennis inform him that they're going to train him to be a pit fighter, he says, "What?! ...That is brilliant!" When Mac and Dennis argue about whether to hit him with a trashcan or if he's ready for a chair, Charlie breaks them up. "Guys, guys, guys... I can handle a chair." When Mac starts calling everyone around him a "jabronie," Charlie stops him. "You keep using that word... and it's awesome!" When Frank and Dennis buy a police car and police uniforms, Charlie is disappointed that they didn't buy him a uniform of his own. Dennis suggests that he dress up in different disguises like an undercover cop, and Charlie says "DAMMIT... That is such an awesome idea!" Mac even does it when Frank shows him the Rum Ham he snuck on the beach. "Eating your drinks? God dammit, Frank... That is genius!" |

The Simpsons provides several examples: Mr. Burns does this multiple times in rapid succession, leading to Homer's heart attack, as seen in the page quote. Another example in "The Fool Monty", reporting on Mr. Burns' death: In "Mom And Pop Art", Ned Flanders a moment of frustration at Homer: In "Sideshow Bob Roberts", Sideshow Bob (who had attempted to kill Bart on several occasions by this point) after catching Bart and Lisa snooping, shows up at their parents' front door. Zigzagged by Mr Burns' opinion in "Brush With Greatness" on Marge's portrait of him: "Lisa the Vegetarian" has Lisa wandering around Springfield seeing people eating meat everywhere she goes. She sees a billboard reading "DON'T EAT BEEF." with a picture of a stern-looking woman in a doctor's uniform. Her face lights up... until the billboard changes to read "EAT DEER." with the same doctor woman preparing to eat a venison steak. When Bart tries out for the role of Fallout Boy in "Radioactive Man", he is thrilled to be told he's the new Fallout Boy... until the director adds "That's what I'd be saying if you weren't an inch too short. Next!" After desperately trying to grow an inch by the next day, he returns to the audition room, upon which the director exclaims "We've found our new Fallout Boy! *Bart gasps* ...And he's right over there. *The director points at Milhouse, standing right behind Bart*" Later on, when Bart and Mickey Rooney try and fail to convince Milhouse to resume his role as Fallout Boy, Rooney says there's no problem because there's a new Fallout Boy right there. The next scene shows Rooney as Fallout Boy. When some teamsters start setting up the Simpsons house to film some scenes, Homer meets the director: In "Bart Star", when Homer is coaching Bart's football team and cutting a bunch of kids, he turns to one boy and says: "Steven, I like your hustle. That's why it was so hard to cut you." In "HOMR", a more-intelligent Homer spends some time bonding with Lisa at the Springfield Library. |

The review begins by talking about the joy of discovering a fresh new talent — before saying that in Boris's case he got no joy because Boris has no talent whatever, then proceeding to rip his work to shreds. | |

In fact, the destination is close enough that a lightly equipped person in good condition could get there in two days with ease. This also means that the crew members themselves will be able to make the trip in a week; they are expected to bring a large quantity of books back to their employers, are running out of food and at least one of them is ill by the time this happens. | |

Arrested Development: In "My Mother The Car", the family organizes a birthday party for Lucille. They discuss if they should invite George-Michael and Maeby. Michael replies "This is a Bluth family gathering. This is no place for children." In "Shock And Awww", Michael and Lindsey mistake George-Michael's crush on his teacher as a desire for her to start dating Michael. Lindsey argues that George-Michael needs a mother figure in his life. Michael rebuffs her by saying "He's got you. He's got our mother. You'd think that would turn him off the whole concept." A hospital doctor the family keeps running into is a genius at delivering this sort of line, whether it's bad news that turns out to be good, or good news that turns out to be bad. |

However, the next panel shows the two of them standing in front of Ned Flanders' house, with Homer demanding Ned to give a bed and something to eat to Bender. After the Simpsons characters end up in New New York, Homer points an accusing finger at Farnsworth and asks "So it was you who tore reality a new space hole?" The Professor nervously admits he did so. However, instead of going on a rant over it, Homer is relieved: |

Bane asks, "What are you doing here?" Turns out he's not talking to Gordon, but the mooks who were stupid enough to bring Gordon there. "You panicked and now it has cost the lives of three men." Bane isn't referring to the mooks who've been killed already, but the soon-to-be-dead two mooks and Gordon himself. |

King of the Hill: After Peggy saves her family's ranch by uncovering an old law that allowed her to transport cattle through the city for as long as the natural way is blocked, she expected her mother to thank her. Peggy's mother instead said she just fixed her own blunder (Peggy's mother was blaming the ranch's impending demise on Peggy not marrying the man her family arranged for her) and that she forgot to brand that cattle before transporting it. In one episode Hank Hill and his friends are playing guitar and singing in the alley. Bill suggests that Hank play "Puff The Magic Dragon", whose lyrics are famously considered to be a drug metaphor. Hank replies, "Bill, do you know what that song is about?" (Pause.) "It's about a dragon. We're grown men." Another instance involves the gang of four in the alley, where Bill is wearing dark sunglasses to conceal a black eye he received in a domestic dispute. Bill gives a poor excuse to Dale, which he describes as a "very interesting story", that he received it by accidentally walking into a door. Dale responds, "Hey, wait a minute..." An out of character moment where Dale actually figures out a cover-up is subverted when he concludes, "How was that interesting?" Speaking of Dale, he once went to John Redcorn's to talk about a dream. In that dream, Dale saw a Native-American having sex with Nancy. When Dale told that, John Redcorn had an Oh, Crap! moment fearing Dale figured out. When Dale reached the part of Nancy giving birth with a baby wearing a headdress, John Redcorn feared Dale figured this out as well. Dale said he saw this dream as a sign he was a Native American as well. John Redcorn, of course, let Dale think it. From "Husky Bobby": After Bobby learns he gets to walk first and asks what Andy Maynard thinks: "I'll tell you what Andy Maynard thinks. ... (breaks into tears) Andy Maynard always goes on first." And when Bobby has to leave when Hank doesn't let him walk, he tells the director that he won't get his time in the spotlight, and as he walks dejectedly, Hank stops him, and as a hopeful Bobby asks "What?", Hank then gets a poncho for him to wear until he gets in the car. From "Westie Side Story": |

Penny Arcade: "Father Of The Year" has a father tell a reporter that in the midst of a deadly global pandemic and other chaos, he's most worried about his son playing too much Halo. The reporter says, "Sir, this is The New York Times," as if to chide him for wasting their time, but when asked for elaboration, says, "...and we think this is front page material." "Zip and Tear" has Gabe get a call from Ziply Fiber regarding an order that he placed a year ago, which was held up by a technical issue. Gabe gets excited as the caller starts to reveal the reason for the call, assuming that his order has come out of limbo, but is disappointed when he hears that "we're finally going to... cancel that order." |

A few examples from The Order of the Stick: After searching the coordinates for Girard's Gate for several days, they are greeted by an inactive spell that responds to several keywords, triggering a message. Roy and Belkar try to leave the gladiator arena after Roy barely defeats Thog... and immediately walk into General Tarquin. After Belkar has a conversation about his cooking skills with O-Chul and Lien, he tells Mr Scruffy. "That was so strange. I think that was the first conversation with a paladin I've ever had that wasn't dripping in judgement and hostility. And they were nice, too!" Late in the series, as the heroes fight to protect the final gate, O-Chul states that he and the other paladins of Azure City carry out the late Lord Soon's will to protect the gate. Serini, who manipulated her other companions into helping her build the labyrinth to protect the gate, says, "Maybe you're right. Here I am, and Soon's contribution has been right in front of me this whole time," before adding, "His pathetic, underpowered, dim-witted contribution." |

Undertale has a Bait and Switch Comment from Papyrus that looks like a setup for an insult regarding his lazy brother Sans until you remember that Papyrus is a total Nice Guy without a mean bone in his body. A more depressing version (also by Papyrus), establishing just how lonely he really is. In the True Pacifist ending, when all of the monsters you've befriended rally together against Flowey the Flower, he has a moment of shock... right before absorbing all their souls as well. The power of all the monster souls (which is equivalent to one human soul) plus the six human souls, effectively makes Flowey all-powerful.: |

The Summer You Were There A comedic example happens in Chapter 19. Kaori, reading Shizuku's novel, blurts out "Oh, I'm so in love!", startling Shizuku, before adding "With your novel!" Since Shizuku had just heard Kaori's friend Seri remark that Shizuku and Kaori looked like a couple to Seri, she's seemingly both relieved and disappointed that Kaori was talking about the novel. A serious example happens in Chapter 27, when Seri takes the opportunity to speak with Shizuku despite the awkward tension between them. She says that she's always been scared of Shizuku, who bullied her in elementary school, and as much as she wants to forget it all, she can't. It seems as though nothing has changed since she rejected Shizuku's apology in Chapter 14... but then Ruri says that she wants to get to know Shizuku, since Shizuku has changed and getting to know the new her might help Ruri overcome her trauma. |

Zombie Land Saga At the start of the third episode, Kotaro starts off seeming as though he's about to criticize Sakura for the impromptu rap battle she got into with Saki in the performance in the previous episode before actually saying that she did a great job. In Episode 10, the group is camping out in the wilderness in the weeks leading up to the concert in Arpino. Sakura, who's worried about how the concert will go, insists that they practice, but is told that they'll need to make sure they account for all their survival needs first. With ten days to go, Saki says she's confident that the group has "about got the whole wilderness thing down," but they're forgetting something. Sakura assumes Saki agrees with her about the need for practice, until Saki says that they haven't had any meat in a while. |

Steven Universe: "That Will Be All": Greg and Steven have been caught by Amethyst guards during an escape attempt from the Human Zoo, and are brought to a room where they find their Amethyst being held by the guards as well. It turns out she's been making friends and allies, but boy do she and her "Famethyst" love pranks. "The Big Show": Sunshine Justice says that the recording she received of Sadie Killer and the Suspects is the worst she's ever heard. Which is a shame, because she loves the song, so they should try playing it somewhere with better recording equipment! "Together Alone": Steven throws a ball on Pearl's suggestion to try to get White Diamond's attention because he wants to talk to her. After Yellow and Blue make their grand entrances preceded by their Pearls, White Pearl arrives and announces her Diamond... will not be attending as she has more important things to do. |

"You know, Lloyd, just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!" Another occurs when Harry and Lloyd are stranded when a tour bus rolls up and they're offered the chance to work for a women's Hawaiian Tropic bikini team, oiling them up between matches. Harry sends them off to a nearby town to find someone interested and Lloyd calls him out and runs after the bus. Once the bus stops, Lloyd tells them the town is in the other direction. |

He said Londra doesn't have good taste... because she lost her sense of taste in a chili pepper accident and she has everyone's empathy and respect. He said Alyson is always giving it away... by "it" he mean attention to those in need, by teaching free art classes at the Old Moose Senior Home, although Alyson does admit to having sex with lot of people. And then he states the town of Lone Moose is named after a lone moose because the town absolutely blows... other towns out of the water. | |

Phineas and Ferb: Near the end of "The Fast and the Phineas", when Candace thinks her brothers are getting busted: In the episode "Split Personality", Doofenshmirtz tries to get over his childhood fear of the high dive: In the episode "Don't Even Blink", Doofenshmirtz developed an Invisinator. He explained that he developed it because, whenever the Fireside Girls knock at his door with him at home watching TV and the blinds open, they can see him so he cannot pretend he's not at home. He then told Perry the Platypus he intended to use the invisinator on... the girls so he'd not have to see them. In "A Real Boy", Norm wanted Doofenshmirtz to see him as a son. In the end, Doof started a speech that gave the impression Norm's wish would come true. Instead, Doof said he saw Perry as a son. |

John favours the new passing game, while his father believes in the tradition of one man kicking the ball up the pitch, and makes John feel that anything else isn't being a Brakenreid. Encouraged by Dr Odgen, John stands up to his father and says there can be more than one kind of Brakenreid. The inspector replies "No, you're wrong. There's only one kind of Brakenreid. The kind that speaks his mind. Now, get out there and pass your way to the Olympic bloody Games." | |

On the second season of The Joe Schmo Show, a parody of reality-TV shows in which everyone except the chosen schmoes is an actor, there's a challenge in which the cast members have to do embarrassing things at a dinner or have dark secrets revealed. The dark secret of "Cammy" invented for the series is that she starred a soft-core food-fetish porn video called Porked and Beans. She does not complete her task and therefore her secret gets revealed by having a portion of the video played for the show's cast. Afterwards, host Derek Newcastle (Ralph Garman) comments "I'm sorry we had to see that... (Beat) on such a small monitor." | |

One Piece: Kaya, having realized that her butler Klahadore is actually Captain Kuro, who is planning on murdering her in order to take her inheritance, confronts him and tries to get him to leave, even holding him at gunpoint. Kuro then reminisces about all the time he and Kaya spent together... before mentioning how humiliating it was for him, and that he only put up with it in order to steal her fortune. As the crew sails away from Little Garden, with an Eternal Pose that will show them the way to Alabasta, Nami falls ill with a life-threatening illness. Vivi is faced with a Sadistic Choice- go straight to Alabasta to end her homeland's civil war as quickly as possible or find a doctor to save her friend's life. Vivi apologizes to the crew for her selfishness, saying that she needs to get to Alabasta as quickly as possible... then says that they're going to find a doctor for Nami, since they need their navigator well in order to get to Alabasta quickly. In their first meeting, Blackbeard expresses incredulity at Luffy's 30-million berry bounty: his incredulous dismissal of the number makes Luffy (and the audience) think he considers the number too high and its holder a weakling and a pushover. Only a little later, as he learns the true number of 100 million, it's revealed that he thought the initial number was lowballing. He could sense Luffy's potential from the start. |

Many episodes of The Fairly OddParents! often have Timmy overhearing his parents' conversations, with him usually leaving either in grief or anger before they finish what they're saying. For example, Timmy thought his parents hated him because he overheard talk about how much of a burden he was to them, yet after he leaves they then finish out loud that what they previously said is completely opposite of how they really feel about their son. Yeah, Timmy's parents are a pair of Cloudcuckoolanders. | |

After she explains the whole situation to Hiashi, he replies that he indeed does not approve... of her lying to him while Naruto was present. He then tells her to go apologize to Naruto and that he expects them to be present at the Hyuga residence the next day so they can have a talk and lay down ground rules. While Kakashi is on a mission with Team Gai, Rokuro steals his body in order to infiltrate Konoha. However, Kakashi had memorized Icha Icha Paradise and takes this opportunity to recite it to Rokuro.

SpongeBob SquarePants: When SpongeBob creates Bubble Buddy, we immediately cut to him on a seesaw with Bubble Buddy, completely lifeless and not moving the seesaw at all. Another had SpongeBob help his friend Patrick submit a song which is shown to be so awful that it killed the band recording it and causes pain to everyone else within hearing distance. He plays it first with Spongebob by using a giant stereo that is so loud that it demolishes his pineapple. After Patrick asks him eagerly to give him his most honest opinion, Spongebob stares at him solemnly and moves his mouth as if to insult him. Another one, this time from "Just One Bite": And in "Sandy, SpongeBob and the Worm", Squidward's reaction to Patrick's suggestion to dig up Bikini Bottom and push it somewhere else: From "All That Glitters" |

In Yuri!!! on Ice, Sara Crispino coldly tells her twin brother Michele that she doesn't need him at the rink while she competes during the Grand Prix and he shouldn't need her there either, since she knows that their co-dependent relationship is holding both of them back as figure skaters and as people. After Michele skates a beautiful free program without needing Sara nearby, she tearfully hugs him and says she's sorry for all the mean things she said earlier, seeming like she's slipping back into co-dependency...only for her to smile and say that she's glad she said them anyway, since they're better off apart. The dumbfounded look on Michele's face really sells it. | |

Star Wars Rebels A really shitty one in "The Siege of Lothal". Admiral Konstantine tries to snare the Ghost in a Tractor Beam only to catch Lord Vader's TIE fighter instead. Admiral Konstantine assures the tractor beam operator that it's not his fault, and he wipes sweat off his forehead in relief, only for the Admiral to add, "But Lord Vader won't know that." In "An Inside Man", Kanan reprimands Ezra for Force-pushing Agent Kallus through a sheet of plate glass — because he wanted to do it. |

The best part is he said the "I don't like this" with a completely straight face, giving the impression he was about to tear into the makeup. A Next On clip, in a fine example of Manipulative Editing, only showed the "I don't like this" and a cut to a different contestant's unhappy reaction. | |

Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues: Barbra seems like she's admonishing Jacob when he doesn't seem to care about Finn being expelled, only to crack a smile and admit that she doesn't care about Finn either. Agent Travers informs Principal Shooter that she has snipers trained on their position. She then yells 'SHOOT', much to Shooter's terror, but she's berating herself for forgetting something rather than giving them a command to fire. For a second, it seems like Jemimah is horrified to discover that everyone has superpowers. But then she bursts with excitement, yapping happily to the girl that threw a spear at her and marveling at the giant bug monster. |

Family Guy does this a lot. In the Stephen King episode, Peter, who is hosting and kicking off the next mini-story, described the plot of The Shining and speculates how Stewie would fit perfectly in the starring role, only to say that a parody of The Shawshank Redemption is up next. From the episode "Family Gay": Probably the best one is also the earliest instance in the show: A similar gag is done in this cutaway in "Brian Griffin's House of Payne". |

How I Met Your Mother: Ted is on a date with a girl who keeps drinking wine midsentence. She keeps saying things that can be perceived as racist remarks, confessions of fratricide, etc., then finishes the sentence after the wine sip so that it takes on a completely different meaning. As Ted is imagining literal baggage appear around the room every time she says something and it disappears when she finishes her sentence, the scene culminates with her saying something particularly bad and a suitcase appears labeled "LET HER FINISH HER DRINK, TED." By the time she says "That reminds me, I killed my brother (sip) with this joke I told him", it's hard to believe she's not doing it on purpose. In another episode, Marshall and Lily want to get married quickly, so they go to the courthouse and ask a clerk there if they can see a judge. She answers something like "Sure, you can see a judge... is what I would say if one was available." It quickly becomes an Overly Long Gag as every question they ask receives a similar response. Barney is very guilty of this. In one episode, he displaces his relationship anxiety by compulsively shopping at SkyMall. However, it quickly gets out of control, with him buying things he doesn't remotely need. As he tells Marshall, "I have three self-cleaning litterboxes and I don't even have a kid!" In a season nine episode, Barney gets extremely drunk and starts compulsively telling various secrets about himself. Ted and Robin realize this is their opportunity to learn everything they've ever wanted to know about Barney and start asking him questions. We then cut to a montage of Barney making various confessions. At one point, he apparently admits to once having had sex with another man, but then it turns out he merely split a cab with the guy. |

The first time, she asks why Seiji isn't with her... because she wanted him to know he was getting replaced. The second time, she mentions she's heard about January contributing to Sylas dropping out of the contest and asks if she bullied him. When she guiltily responds that she told him to do them all a favor and choose himself, Lapointe remarks that he certainly did. | |
