Depth Deception is what happens when depth perception goes wrong.
Sometimes, often due to uncommon conditions such as viewing through a telescope, camera or other similar optical device, people can get confused and mistake something small and close (such as an insect) for something far and huge (such as an Attacking 50 Foot Whatever ). Or vice versa. For reasons closely related to the Rule of Funny, this happens more often in fiction than in Real Life, though Truth in Television cases are not unheard of.
Subtropes include Big Little Man, where a character is introduced as being much bigger or smaller than they really are, and Profile View Gag, where an object appears shorter or longer when viewed from the side.
Compare That's No Moon, where a large object is mistaken for an equally large but more mundane object. See also Perspective Magic, where this can be used to manipulate reality.
When it's used intentionally as a camera technique — one of the oldest special effects on record — it's called Forced Perspective.
Not to be confused with Depth Perplexion, which is about illogical displays in video game graphics. Compare and contrast Depth of Field, the span of distance along the shot axis in which objects will be in focus.

Sherlock episode "The Empty Hearse" depicts Sherlock and Mycroft apparently playing chess, though never actually handling the pieces — because the chessboard is in fact between the camera and the game of Operation they're really playing.

Jerma985 and STAR_ used forced perspective for comedic effect in the beginning of this video. Jerma positioned the camera so that it initially appears that he and STAR_ are sitting on a staircase. It's then revealed that they're actually in an invisible car which proceeds to rapidly accelerate down the street.

A deliberately intentional and invoked example in A Bug's Life; Flik invents a telescope for Princess Atta for her to "oversee production". Then Flik demonstrates it by looking at Atta through the scope when she's standing about five feet in front of him.

Las Noches from Bleach. Located in a vast desert with almost nothing to give a sense of scale, Ichigo and company thought it was close enough to run to... and after they were forced to stop to catch their breath, it still looked as far away as ever. When they finally arrived, it would have taken them three days to walk around to the nearest entrance. You can't really blame them for making their own in that case.

The Simpsons:
In episode "Deep Space Homer", reporter Kent Brockman makes TV contact with a space mission just in the moment an ant set loose in the spaceship floats by the camera lens. Brockman's reporting jumps to the conclusion that a master race of giant ants has conquered the spacecraft and is about to invade Earth. He then pauses, looks at camera, and delivers the immortal line: "And I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords."
In the episode where the Simpsons act out folk tales, Homer as the giant lumberjack Paul Bunyan runs towards Marge, who thinks he's just a normal-sized man until he gets near enough for her to see his true scale.
In the episode where Homer joins the Army, he escapes during wargames. As he's lying in bed with Marge, he looks out the window and comments on the helicopter in the distance... except it's a spy drone the size of an RC toy, and it's right in his window.
Also in "Hurricane Neddy", when the folks want to help Ned rebuild his house, they end up doing a very poor job. One hallway looks normal from a distance, but due to Forced Perspective it is actually shorter and narrower than it looks.
In "Fear of Flying", we go to a front view of what seems to be Marge watching TV from the couch. A turn to the side reveals that she's actually sitting on thin air and is close to the TV.

Reports of big cats roaming parts of the English countryside, the most famous being the "Beast of Bodmin", may just be normal-sized feral cats — domestic moggies gone wild — that look farther away than they really are. Fortean Times regularly combines such sightings and potential explanations for them.

Justice League
In the Cold Open of "Legends", a giant Green Lantern appears to fall to the ground in front of several normal-sized people. Turns out GL is just closer to the screen than these bystanders, and this Reveal Shot is followed by the actual giant mecha that knocked Green Lantern down.
In the ''Justice League Unlimited episode "Fearful Symmetry", Professor Hamilton opens a door to reveal the torture device in Supergirl's dreams, a huge tank-like Killer Robot! It trundles towards her and is revealed to be a surgical robot that only comes up to her knees. This is used to show that Supergirl's nightmares are apparently just a stress reaction to having been injured and operated on in a previous episode. The truth, however, is quite different.

In an episode of Arrested Development, Gob attempts to fool some Japanese investors that a housing development project has been completed by constructing a model village. He's even aware of the limitations of the trick, instructing the investors to stand still in the one spot where it looks convincing. Of course, it's not long before the village gets a kaiju-style trampling courtesy of Tobias wearing a mole costume.

In Super Mario 64, the room where you can enter Tiny Huge Island is a T-junction with a painting at the end of each hall, all of which appear to be the same size when you first enter: the one in the center is normal-sized and non-functional, the one on the left is actually slightly smaller than usual, and the one on the right is gigantic. The two paintings that actually warp Mario are also set in hallways that use forced perspective, meaning that until you start walking toward one, the images all look the same size. Which is actually quite jarring when first seen. Walk towards the small one and it's MUCH closer to you than it should be, with the hallway going inwards. Walk towards the large one and you're gonna be walking a looooooooooong time.

Calvin and Hobbes:
Calvin used this to surprise his father once; by making the top half of a snowman's head and a few "fingers", he made it look like a giant snowman was peering over a hill at him.
Calvin's dad himself once used some Little Known Facts, "proving" to Calvin that the sun is actually about the size of a coin. After all, hold a coin up to the sun, and they're about the same size.
In one arc, Calvin and Hobbes use the time machine and accidentally end up in prehistory with dinosaurs. Though they barely escape with their lives, Calvin is pleased that they got some good pictures, which will surely rock the scientific world. When he shows his dad the pictures though, his dad assumes that he just took pictures of his dinosaur toys with the camera really close. Which he may or may not have.

In This is Spın̈al Tap, after manager Ian Faith gets the Stonehenge monument for the band and discovers it's 18 inches high, not 18 feet high, due to Nigel Tufnel mixing the symbols for feet and inches on the napkin where he draws the design of the monument. When the band performs, and finally the monument appears, as Nigel narrates, the monument appears to remade as the right 18-foot monument and David St. Hubbins is supposedly in awe of it. However, it cuts to show it's actually 18-inch Stonehenge, having never been replaced even after Ian Faith told the designer it's the wrong size. And David was really shocked by how small it was. A little later, just as a confused Nigel sees the monument smaller than the dwarf dancers in the act of the song, he gives a "What the hell" look at Ian and Jeanine, and David fumes at the debacle.

Some of the uses of the Cutout mechanic in Paper Mario: Color Splash work in this way. One example is in Port Prisma, where at a certain angle, a window awning, the top of a storefront sign, the flat top of a tree, and an otherwise inaccessible second-floor walkway line up to form a stair shape—Mario can then use Cutout to use those objects as if they're a set of stairs to get to that second-floor walkway. It and other examples can be found here.

In chapter 24 of Monster Musume, the harem believes main character Kimihito is doomed to die because of a dullahan's predictions. The final threat is a truck shown in extreme closeup, including the standard "Corner of a vehicle speeds into the frame before a collision" shot. It's actually a remote-controlled toy that comes up to his knee, and the dullahan is just a young girl with an overactive imagination and a taste for melodrama.

In Super Mario 64, the room where you can enter Tiny Huge Island is a T-junction with a painting at the end of each hall, all of which appear to be the same size when you first enter: the one in the center is normal-sized and non-functional, the one on the left is actually slightly smaller than usual, and the one on the right is gigantic. The two paintings that actually warp Mario are also set in hallways that use forced perspective, meaning that until you start walking toward one, the images all look the same size. Which is actually quite jarring when first seen. Walk towards the small one and it's MUCH closer to you than it should be, with the hallway going inwards. Walk towards the large one and you're gonna be walking a looooooooooong time.
Super Mario 3D Land encourages the use of the Nintendo 3DS's 3D effect in some sections. Without the 3D effect, forced perspective causes a block that appears to be part of the background may be in the foreground. There are subtle differences, but at first glance, you won't see it.
Some of the uses of the Cutout mechanic in Paper Mario: Color Splash work in this way. One example is in Port Prisma, where at a certain angle, a window awning, the top of a storefront sign, the flat top of a tree, and an otherwise inaccessible second-floor walkway line up to form a stair shape—Mario can then use Cutout to use those objects as if they're a set of stairs to get to that second-floor walkway. It and other examples can be found here.

In The Unremembered Empire, the narration mentions that this is sometimes done with Roboute Guilliman's office, which has furniture scaled to normal humans, Astartes, and the Primarch, to make the room look far longer or shorter than it actually is.

A Bit of Fry and Laurie has a Vox Pops segment where a man says his first impression of his wife was that she was an incredibly tiny woman, and that it wasn't until weeks later, after he'd gotten to know her, that he realized she was actually just far away.

In the Bugs Bunny cartoon "The Unruly Hare", Bugs screws with surveyor Elmer by sticking things in front of his transit (the device surveyors use to measure distances). First he holds up some magazine pin-ups, which Elmer wolf whistles at, then smacks his own lips near the lens, which is when Elmer reaches out for a kiss. Later, Bugs holds up a lit match so that Elmer thinks the forest is on fire.

Bob's Burgers: In "The Land Ship", the citizens of Seymour's Bay celebrate a momentous event in the town's history. During the War of 1812, the villagers managed to move the town's only sailing vessel onto the land, tricking a fleet of British troops which arrived that night into thinking the shore was further away than it was. This caused the British to run their ships aground, where they were ambushed by American militia-men.

Cow and Chicken: This is how Chicken managed to use a golf-ball and fool the Red Guy (who was at that point an astronomer), and the entire world, into believing that the earth is about to be hit by a comet, and get everyone to buy "protection devices" which were just random junk he found around the house. When it turns out there IS a comet, it's in turn revealed to be the size of a golf-ball, and it hitting several of his "protection devices" was enough to minimize the damage it causes.

Superliminal is a first-person puzzle game loaded with puzzles that depend on playing with perspective. The various puzzles are based around picking up items, whether near or far, and using the camera's perspective to "adjust" their size. In addition to objects being only as close or as far away as the player perceives them to be, there are occasionally walls painted with illusions, such as a corridor that looks just like an ordinary wall until you walk down it. Some objects have to be created by lining up the depth deception properly, and others can disappear into depth deception illusions.

Played with in Cahe Detective Club. Ayane is given a cup of coffee which is drawn from an angle which makes it look huge, but doesn't look odd to the characters.

Doctor Who:
The Doctor once explained that the TARDIS works by neatly subverting this trope. He held two boxes in his hands; one was bigger and one was smaller. After walking away from the larger box, the physically smaller box now had a larger apparent size. But what if you could make it so that the relative dimensions in space were actual?
In "The Unicorn and the Wasp", Donna Noble sees a wasp hovering just outside the window, only it turns out to be a huge wasp far away but approaching very fast.
The episode "Flatline" plays with this, featuring two-dimensional aliens able to suck three-dimensional beings into the 2D plane. They then disfigure their victims, causing them to be distorted so that one guy is stretched out like spaghetti, while another guy gets diced, but looks like he's 3D from one angle.

On QI, David Mitchell tried to get a joke on this concerning giant tortoises (no one gave them scientific names because they looked at them from the wrong angle and assumed they were normal-size tortoises). He stumbled over the delivery, as he suddenly realised "they thought they were normal tortoises, but closer" wouldn't work in reality, and got through it only with coaching from Stephen Fry — though that was funny too.

A story about André the Giant relates how, when first entering the business in his native France, he approached the promoter's table alongside a friend of normal stature. Because of Andre's condition (whereby he was relatively in proportion, despite his size), the promoter couldn't tell how massive he was from a distance, and apparently looked at André's friend and said to someone sitting next to him, "We'll never hire that midget..."
