comment |
A character makes a statement, then immediately adds that they actually mean the exact opposite of what they said. Usually shows up in comedies. May be used as a form of pointing out sarcasm. Often the result of characters realizing they just told Blatant Lies.
Subtrope of Bait-and-Switch Comment. Compare Dissimile. See also Distinction Without a Difference, where a character prefers to use a different word to mean the same thing, and "No" Means "Yes", where people assume a person is doing this, but they aren't. Compare Instantly Proven Wrong, where the character makes a statement, but something external immediately contradicts that statement. |

The Simpsons:
In "Marge In Chains", Lionel Hutz explains to Marge why Judge Snyder is not on good terms with him: "Well, he's had it in for me ever since I kinda ran over his dog... Well, replace the word 'kinda' with the word 'repeatedly' and the word 'dog' with 'son'".
Leonard Nimoy introduces the episode "The Springfield Files" with, "The following tale of alien encounters is true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies, and in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer is no".
In "Grampa vs. Sexual Inadequacy":
In "Kill Gill Vols. 1 & 2", Marge has trouble saying no to freeloader Gil and when she finally gets the guts to, he's gone. Which leads to this...
In "Realty Bites", Marge works as a real estate agent. The whole office is okay with lying through their teeth to make a sale, especially her boss, Lionel Hutz. The drama of the episode revolves around the fact that she is way too honest for her own good, and then lied through omission to Ned Flanders that the dream home she sold his family is a murder house and she will not feel comfortable having Ned's money because of the lie, even after Ned makes clear he doesn't minds (heck, he actually likes) living in a murder house. |

Castle:
In "One Man's Treasure", Alexis tells Beckett, "I know my dad can sometimes be a handful, and by sometimes I mean all the time".
In the sixth season premiere, after Castle proposes to Beckett, a very surprised Beckett kisses him. When Castle asks if that's a yes, she answers, "No, wait...", leading to some confusion over whether she was saying "Yes" or "No". Her initial "No" was because she wanted to tell Castle she was offered a job with a Federal task force in Washington DC. Ultimately her answer was a resounding "Yes". |

In Going Postal, when Moist notices some of the Fantastic Racism grafitti on the wall of the Golem Trust was clearly written by a small child, he reflects "It was good to see the fine old traditions of idiot bigotry being handed down, in a no-good-at-all kind of way." |

Phineas and Ferb:
Doctor Doofenshmirtz does this about Once an Episode, usually when Perry bursts in to foil his evil scheme of the week. There was at least one occasion where, by unexpected, Doof actually meant unexpected. And he sometimes isn't sure what he meant by other variations.
Major Monogram once said he wanted to approve Perry's request for a vacation but there was a small problem. He admitted that by "small" he meant "big" and by "approve" he meant "deny". |

Toko points out that they are close, and Komaru admits that she just assumed other siblings were closer than she and Makoto were. |

From the M*A*S*H episode "To Market, To Market", as Henry is polishing his new desk, he wants to brag to everyone coming into his office. This is an atypical example, because each time he does it (which he does to everyone he shows the desk off to) he's not actually listening to them. He's just glorying in having something cooler than MacArthur has. |

In Kim's Convenience, an elderly couple offers Mr. and Mrs. Kim a generous payment in exchange for giving up Mr. Kim's reserved gravestone (since it's right next to the elderly woman's reserved gravestone and she wants her husband's gravestone next to hers as a symbol of Together in Death). The Kims are wary but are excited by the prospect of getting a lot of money. Before they can officially accept, however, the woman passes away and so her husband is left responsible. He wasn't added to his wife's will and has a more modest retirement income, so the money being offered decreases significantly. Disappointed but still trying to be sympathetic and polite, all Mr. and Mrs. Kim can say in response to the deal is, "Yeah. But no." |

Doctor Who:
"The Beast Below": "Except it's not a torture chamber, is it? Well, except it is. Except it isn't."
"The Big Bang": Rory is holding his dead fiancée as the universe dissolves around him, and mentions that the Doctor once told him that the universe is miraculous and ridiculous, and that "I could really use a ridiculous miracle right now." Then the Doctor appears, holding a mop and wearing a fez.
"Thin Ice": Bill Potts wants to know if they'll be totally defenseless while diving beneath the ice in primitive diving gear to investigate the people-swallowing Monster of the Week.
Bill points out the Doctor has (as usual) steered the TARDIS wrong. The Doctor says you don't steer the TARDIS, you reason with it. When Bill asks how you reason with the TARDIS, the Doctor replies, "Unsuccessfully, most of the time." |

In the South Park episode "Cartman's Incredible Gift," the police come to Cartman, who has (supposedly) gained psychic abilities, and offer to pay him to help them catch a killer. Cartman replies, "I'm afraid that my powers are not for sale. And by that, I mean that they absolutely are for sale." |

Firefly: "Objects in Space": Simon thinks Jubal is doing this when he asks if Jubal's a bounty hunter and Jubal responds with "No, that ain't it at all". When Simon asks him to explain what he is, Jubal looks at him and says "I'm a bounty hunter". However, Jubal has been fixated on River's empty room and had just been wondering if the best word to describe an empty room's purpose was "imbue" when Simon asked his question. He was rejecting his choice of descriptive word, not Simon's question. |

Tangled: The Series: Hair It Is: In "Baking Instinct", Eugene questions if Varian thinks he doesn't have a domestic side. Varian's response is "I didn't say that! I mean, I thought it, but I didn't say it". Discerning readers will recognize that Varian is actually replying in the affirmative to Eugene's question despite phrasing it as a denial. |

John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme: One Patsy Straightwoman interview has her dealing with an expert in talking to experts, who explains that most experts on interview shows are so intimidated they agree with any question put to them, no matter how stupid. He has managed to train himself to fight this, which has come out in this trope, initially agreeing and then giving the actual answer immediately after. |
