The New Era Speech is all well and dandy, but it presumes the villain has some reason to be halfway honest about things. And let's face it, it's usually for no better reason than to amuse themselves. However, your more devious villains find it more amusing to put all their craft of eloquence into a speech that the members of the audience —but usually not the surrounding characters— know flies in the face of everything that has happened. The audience won't know whether to shake their fist in rage or their head in admiration. A common case is that the villain has just scored a major coup, and now has to give a speech of deep sorrow and swift action regarding said coup. At other times, it'll be a masterful work of damage control, where the damage isn't so severe that they'll require a Motive Rant instead. In any case, chances are it will rally the Gullible Lemmings to their side at a vulnerable moment. Either might overlap with New Era Speech. |

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog has the song "Everyone's A Hero" (which mixes this with "The Reason You Suck" Speech), in which Captain Hammer talks about how much he cares about the homeless— all the while comparing them to dogs (Lassie, but still) and calling them Scary Alcoholic Bums. While the audience cheers along, his "girlfriend" Penny, who does charity work with the homeless, is shown as absolutely disgusted by what he's saying. | |

The first Terran campaign in Starcraft ends with the rebel leader-turned-emperor Arcturus Mengsk giving a New Era Speech to the war-torn remains of the Terran Confederacy. He's upfront about how he intends to force everyone to join his empire and rule as a dictator "for your own protection", but not about the part where he engineered the Alien Invasion that brought down the Confederacy in the first place. Needless to say, when the truth comes out, the public is incensed. | |

Honor Harrington: Rob Pierre, at the end of an early book, uses one to solidify his, you guessed it, Reign of Terror. A bit later, a Grayson Steadholder commits an epic dodge against all possible accusation, drastically souring the basic end-scene formula for most of the books up to that point... but we learn four books later that his payload isn't too great. (He is involved in an evil plot that does succeed to a substantial degree, but this time, he's the patsy.) |

Parodied in The Simpsons episode "Secrets of a Successful Marriage", where Homer tries to justify telling Marge's secrets to the marriage class he's teaching. (Unsurprisingly, unlike with the other examples here, she doesn't fall for his BS.) And of course, being Homer, it's more a collection of quotes from movies he saw. | |

The Boys (2019): In "The Female of the Species", Vought International sends Homelander and Queen Maeve to handle a hijacked airliner, figuring this will put public opinion behind the idea of having superheroes in the military. The plan goes disastrously wrong and the plane crashes killing everyone on board, with Homelander even refusing to save a couple of children because they'd be witnesses to what really happened. Later as they're viewing the wreckage washed up on the beach, Homelander gives an impassioned speech to the press about how they could have prevented the disaster if only they'd been called in earlier, which would have happened if superheroes were part of the military. | |

In the Supernatural episode "I'm No Angel", the villainous Bartholomew has his Unwitting Pawn Buddy Boyle give a speech celebrating the descent of the angels to earth and urging his listeners to invite them into their hearts. Given that Supernatural's angels tend to be Lawful Stupid if not Lawful Evil and can possess anyone who says that they may, this is obviously part of a plan to have his allies take over a lot more innocent people's bodies. After the speech, Bartholomew tells Buddy that God will reward him for his assistance. Since Supernatural's God is missing and presumed dead, this is obviously a lie. | |

Vayne in Final Fantasy XII is introduced with a remarkably low-key Bastardly Speech. It's so well done that the only reasons you know he's the villain are that he's incredibly pretty, and the guards apparently don't want to make him angry. Of course, given Vayne's Anti-Villain status, it arguably qualifies at least partially for Rousing Speech, but it's still mostly this. Even though the guy's got good intentions, it's pretty clear he's a master manipulator who enjoys having power in his own hands — the speech is proof of his intelligence and character. Ondore's speech in the prologue qualifies in retrospect, but for the fact that the man can't decide what freaking side he's on. However, at the moment, he was acting as a mouthpiece for Vayne. Gerun attempts this, starting off by sweet-talking Ashe with an offer of new nethicite to destroy the Archadian Empire with, but flips out when she mentions Venat. Gerun then goes into a lengthy rant about how the Occuria know what is best for the Puny Earthlings who need to accept the judgment of their betters, which is supposedly for the greater good. |

Guyana: Crime of the Century: The movie begins as Johnson burningly denounces the sins and corruption of the modern world, and how the United States fell into a spiral of downturn. Near the end of the sermon, he unveils a map of Guyana, pointing at the destination of their promised land (Johnsontown, located north of Port Kaituma) with the shadow of his right index finger. After telling his listeners to begin praying, he turns back and shows an eerie smile. | |

Chernobyl: An old apparatchik gives a lecture to the city's emergency committee on how everyone should nobly do what's right in the name of Lenin and the Revolution. What he's actually asking them to do is to cover up that anything bad ever happened. When bullying his men into carrying out a blatantly unsafe procedure, Dyatlov says he has always preached "Safety First". The head of the KGB claims a system where everyone watches everyone else ensures accountability when it actually ensures that the culpability and incompetence of the authorities is covered up. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The episode "Lovers Walk" has the instance where Joyce is siding against Angel with Spike, who keeps making like he's going to bite her neck. In "Consequences" after a normal human is killed during a night of slaying, Buffy plans to confess to Giles, when Faith saunters out from his office. She puts on a sad face and says, "It's okay, Buffy. I told him." Buffy looks like a huge weight has been lifted, but it falls again when Faith says, "I had to. He had to know what you did." Oh, burn. Though it was subverted that Giles didn't believe her. He just pretended to so Faith would think she was in the clear and wouldn't run off. |

In the Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! manga, Zundar gives one to Kinshiro when he recruits him for Caerula Adamas. It's all about how special he is, how much Zundar understands his pain, and what a stonking new world they'll build together. Of course, it's all garbage, and unknown to Kinshiro Zundar is filming his exploits for a reality TV show. | |

In the Babylon 5 episode "Ship of Tears", there's the ISN anchorwoman's bald-faced lie that the previous broadcast was the work of anti-government terrorists. | |

Torchwood: Miracle Day: Danes's speeches are actually quite inspirational — it's just a pity they're coming from a Dark Messiah who's only interested in publicity. | |
