Bait-and-Switch Silhouette | comment |
A Visual Gag where a silhouette, outline, or shadow looks like something important, but upon closer inspection, it is something completely unrelated. The reveal usually comes in one of two ways: Either a light is shined on the silhouette to show it in more detail, and/or the actual object is shown nearby. Compare with Scary Shadow Fakeout, which shows a character mistaking the vague silhouette of something ordinary for a threat. This is a Comedy Trope where the silhouette is extremely specific to the point where it seems like there's nothing else it could possibly be, only to reveal an improbable arrangement of objects that replicates its outline exactly. Subtrope of Bait-and-Switch and Not What It Looks Like. |

The Simpsons: In "Homer Alone", Maggie wanders through town in search of Marge (who had left for a spa getaway). At one point, she sees what looks like Marge's shadow with her iconic Beehive Hairdo, but it turns out to be a young man wearing a British guard uniform to promote Buckingham Palace Quick Lube. In "The Boy Who Knew Too Much", Bart is relaxing by the lake after escaping from school when he sees two apparent silhouettes of a prestigious man in a tall hat and a young boy approaching on a raft◊. Bart assumes his Imagine Spot of him hanging out with Huckleberry Finn and Abraham Lincoln is coming true, only for the silhouettes to come close enough to make it clear they're just two creepy hobos◊. The episode "Lemon of Troy" has Bart looking for the Springfield Lemon Tree. He is about to give up, saying the adventure is as worthless as the "lemon-shaped rock" in the grass. The audience assumes that this is actually a lemon, but then he says, "Wait a minute... There's a lemon behind that rock!" The camera pans to a lemon nearby, revealing that the lemon-shaped rock really was just a rock. In "Three Gays of the Condo", Homer leaves the house after a falling out with Marge and wanders around the neighborhood on a lonely night. He sees what appears to be Marge through a second-story window. He contemplates going to meet whoever it is up there until the figure is revealed to be Ned Flanders with a towel wrapped around his head. |

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: The reveal trailer for King K. Rool has a silhouette of a large, rotund crocodile appear outside of Donkey Kong's house, only for it to be the similarly large King Dedede wearing a costume and playing a prank on the Kongs... until the real K. Rool appears and smacks him out of the way, apparently none too amused with the joke. The gag was reused for the fighters of Challenger Pack #3, with the mammal-and-avian team Duck Hunt Duo pretending to be the mammal-and-avian team Banjo and Kazooie. | |

LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham ends with a silhouetted group shot◊ framed to suggest that despite being a DC Comics game, several Marvel Comics characters like Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk are appearing. Then the lights flip on and it's revealed that no, it's all DC characters (Nightwing and Swamp Thing being the ones standing in for the two mentioned). | |

Classic Disney Shorts: In The Autograph Hound, Donald gawks at the silhouettes of three beautiful women belly dancing in a tent; however, as they dance towards the entrance they reveal awkward feet wearing large male shoes, then red, goofy-looking girdles in bodies that are not graceful or feminine at all. Then the mystery trio leaves the tent, revealing they are the Ritz Brothers (a comedian trio that started performing at the 20s). Donald is not at all disappointed... until they start making fun of him. | |

Austin Powers: In Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, guards see what seems to be Felicity Shagwell removing various different objects out of Austin's ass. It's actually a bag on a table next to Austin, who's hunched over a map. In Austin Powers in Goldmember, a mook believes he is seeing an impossible silhouette of a man with a small arm for a penis, who shakes hands with it and bites it before giving birth. It turns out to be Austin, Mini-Me, some tubing and an apple. |

Rocko's Modern Life: In "Love Spanked", Rocko ends up on The Love Seat dating show where the audience participants end up choosing which female Rocko is going to go out with. A dead corpse chooses Number 3 (by simply falling on the buzzer), who has the silhouette of a sexy human woman, complete with her slender arms on her Hartman Hips. Rocko gets very aroused at the silhouette as the host describes her, but then the host concludes with "...your date, HEFFER!" To which "her" window lights up and the silhouette changes into Heffer Wolfe's head from the neck up. Among seeing this, the hearts in Rocko's eyes turn into flames, and he deflates like a balloon in shock. | |

Kung Fu Panda: In Mr. Ping's first scene, Po comes downstairs with a shadow resembling a panda on the floor in front of him. The camera then shows that the shadow is from Mr. Ping holding a bunch of pots and bags in front of himself, which he puts aside to reveal to the audience that Po's father is actually a goose. After the final battle, Po walks toward the crowd surrounded by a dust cloud so that his silhouette matches the legendary warrior from his opening dream, complete with a rounded hat and a cape billowing in the wind. After the dust clears, it turns out he has a wok as his "hat" and an apron as his "cape". |

Spooky Month: In "It's spooky month", Skid is introduced sitting in a dark room lit only by a computer screen, slowly swivels his chair to face the viewer with an eerie smile and stare, only for the lights to instantly turn on and he loudly starts goofing off. In "The Stars", Skid confronts two burglars in his home. In the darkness, he looks like an incredibly creepy and realistic looking skeleton, scaring the beejezus out of the crooks, but cheerily greets them when they shine a light on him and he returns to normal. |

Phineas and Ferb: In "Flop Starz", one gag involves Candace telling Linda that her brothers Phineas and Ferb were about to perform on-stage at the auditions for a television talent show. The silhouettes on stage end being the One-Shot Character "Marty the Rabbit Boy and his Musical Blender", which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Cue Candace contemplating that she should have taken "blender lessons." This later becomes a Running Gag, where Marty and his blender show up in the unlikeliest of places. Played with in "Summer Belongs to You!" Phineas and Ferb's Sun-Beater 3000 is hidden beneath a tarp that is somehow shaped like the Statue of Liberty, which Phineas doesn't even notice until Isabella points it out. The boys later reveal a scale model of the solar system behind a tarp that's shaped like The Thinker statue. In the Show Within a Show That's The Norm! from the episode "Ferb TV", Suzy continually hides her giant robot friend Norm from her older brother Jeremy. In the third segment, Suzy claims to be running a lemonade stand, and is sitting at a "lumpy table" that is obviously Norm with a tablecloth draped over him. However, once Jeremy leaves, Norm walks into frame, revealing that it really was just a lumpy table. In "Meatloaf Surprise" Perry goes to a tent with what looks like Dr. Doofenshmirtz inside, put when Perry opens the tent entrance, it turns out to be a bird on a perch, with it's body looking like Doof's head. Perry then get caught in a sling trap and Doof appears. |

She sees the shadows of multiple star-shaped things that she assumes to be Patrick until lightning illuminates what they really are: a bush, a gravestone, and a mausoleum decoration. Patrick is actually right behind her, "hiding" by covering his eyes with a flower wreath, despite very clearly still being visible. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: In "Squid's Day Off", Squidward becomes paranoid that SpongeBob is spying on him while he takes his "day off". When he tries to take a bath, he sees a silhouette of what looks like SpongeBob wearing two Krusty Krew hats behind the curtain, but it turns out to be his toilet with a spray can and toilet-paper roll on top of it. In "Graveyard Shift", a dark figure enters the Krusty Krab who bears a strong resemblance to the Hash-Slinging Slasher, the character from the horror story Squidward had told SpongeBob. SpongeBob and Squidward are scared, but when the figure moves into the light, he is revealed to be a young kid looking for a job at the restaurant. |

In Up, we see the shape of a man in the fog, and hear a male voice. It turns out, however, that the voice is Dug the talking dog, and the "man" was just a man-shaped rock. | |

Ed, Edd n Eddy: In the episode "If It Smells Like An Ed", the Eds see a silhouette in an old shed that seems to look like Rolf. When Eddy starts yelling at "Rolf" for apparently framing them, "Rolf" breaks apart into three separate figures, revealing it to have actually been the Kanker Sisters standing in-front of each other. | |

The first season of the Pokémon: The Series has an episode where the characters take a quiz identifying Pokémon based on their silhouettes. One silhouette is a perfect circle. Most assume that it's a Voltorb or an Electrode, two spherical Pokémon, but it is actually "Jigglypuff, as seen from above." | |

Amphibia: Hop Pop walks through a hostile desert environment. One scene opens on the image of what appears to be Hop Pop’s dried-out skull on the ground. But then, the still-alive Hop Pop walks into frame. It is never addressed who the skull belonged to or why it looks exactly like Hop Pop. In the episode "Truck Stop Polly", Polly sees a stump of rotting wood that looks exactly like Mrs. Croaker when it’s behind a layer of fog. In the episode "Mr. X", Mr. X chases the protagonists into a storage closet of a movie theater. He spots what looks like Hop Pop in the dark, but it was actually just a promotional standee of a movie character. In the episode "Escape To Amphibia", the Plantars are captured by government agents. Anne breaks into their facility to save them, and finds a glass tank with what looks like Hop Pop inside, but when the lights turn on, it is revealed to be a rock with some clumps of moss. |
