Someone seems at first to be worried about someone else or feeling sympathy for them, but it turns out they are actually thinking something very different. If a particularly unkind character is doing this, then they may be a Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk. Sub-trope for No Sympathy. Often a Bait-and-Switch Comment. May double with Refuse to Rescue the Disliked if someone invokes this by suggesting helping someone when they are in a bad situation but then laughing it off as they don't really care about the person being in the state, or Skewed Priorities if someone appears to be worried about someone, only to reveal that they're more interested in something inconsequential. Compare Bait-and-Switch Sentiment. Contrast to HA HA HA—No where a character laughs at something but gets serious. |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: While stuck in the Maw-Ray, Donkey Kong and Mario seemingly are about to share a heart-to-heart about how they both feel insecure due in part to their disappointed fathers. But the moment is promptly spoiled when a disgruntled DK blurts out that Mario's dad is right to be disappointed in him. The two continue to squabble until they find DK's kart and use its remaining rocket barrel to escape. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Whatever Happened to SpongeBob?"note Otherwise known as "WhoBob WhatPants?", Sandy and Patrick feel horribly guilty for having yelled at SpongeBob, as this is what caused him to run away. Squidward also appears to be worried about SpongeBob at first, but then he brightens up and says he just wishes he had slammed the door in SpongeBob's face even harder before laughing it off. In "Have You Seen This Snail?", Patrick sees the disheveled SpongeBob lying down on the ground because he's exhausted from having spent a long time playing paddle ball. Patrick exclaims SpongeBob's name in supposed concern before running over to a framed picture, saying that the picture isn't straight. Later in that same episode, after having seen Grandma and Gary at a craft store, Patrick seems like he's about to tell SpongeBob that he saw them at the store, but instead tells him that he saw some huge chunks of balsa wood. |

The Mitchells vs. the Machines has a scene where PAL admits to her creator Mark that she hacked into his competitor's private emails and Mark looks taken aback by this and says that what she did was a 'dangerous overreach of corporate power'. PAL looks chastened for a second before she and Mark end up laughing it off. Too bad that Mark should've taken it more seriously when PAL turns evil and nearly tries to destroy all of humanity. | |

Doctor Who: In "World Enough and Time" Bill is exploring a hospital and finds a patient who is unable to speak, but has been given a mechanical voice box which they use to constantly emote the word "pain". A Battleaxe Nurse approaches the patient and offers to help them, and is seen adjusting some of the machines the patient is connected to. When Bill gets a closer look at the patient, she realises that all the nurse did was set the voice box to mute. | |

Wander over Yonder: In "The Flower", Wander attempts to stop Lord Dominator from destroying the last flower in the galaxy. Dominator shows concern for the damage her actions have caused...before blowing off Wander for being a sap. In the credits of "The Little Guy", there's a funeral for Westley (who the Watchdogs mistakenly think is dead). Hater is wailing and Peepers comforts him, thinking he's distraught about Westley, but then Hater says he doesn't even know who Westley is and that he's just upset that he lost to Wander and Sylvia yet again. |
