Bob has a great plan! He tells Charlie about it, but Charlie hates it. That is, until Alice comes along and says that she loves the plan. Charlie instantly switches, telling Alice that he loves the plan too, and they jump to go carry the plan out, whilst Bob stands there, surprised and vaguely insulted. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A slight variation is when Charlie is against the plan until Bob says it's about something Charlie likes, whereupon he's all over it. Standard quick gag in many series, especially Slice of Life. Subtrope of Opinion Flip-Flop. Compare Glad I Thought of It, where Alice and Charlie are the same character. Examples: |

Eric from Zero Time Dilemma dismisses most of Q's ideas/plans, only for Mira to say she actually likes them, which magically makes Eric reconsider and reply that he's going along too. | |

In It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the second season's finale has 2 plotlines: Frank finds out that his kids aren't his, and Mac and Charlie try to become buddies with Mac's father in prison. When Frank finds out about his kids, he wants to hurt the real father. He devises a plan to follow his kids around until they come into contact with their bio dad, and then attack. Mac and Charlie say that plan is garbage. But when they talk to Mac's father in prison, he suggests the exact same thing, and they say it's brilliant. | |

In the Miraculous Ladybug episode "Desperada", Adrien is caught in a "Groundhog Day" Loop. He's heartbroken when his crush laughs at a joke she dismissed when it was his caped alter ego telling it (in the previous loop). Although it should be noted that Chat Noir, unlike his "real identity", has a history of not taking things seriously enough, so Ladybug might well feel she has to be sterner with him. | |

How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying has an instance of this; where the nephew of the president suggests an idea, which the president hates; but when the main character suggests it, the president loves it. (In fact, the only reason the main character had the idea in the first place was because the nephew told it to him after the initial failed suggestion, deliberately trying to discredit him.) | |

In Corner Gas, Wanda asks Brent to babysit her son Tanner, and Brent refuses since Tanner is well-known as an Enfant Terrible who traumatizes every babysitter that's gone up against him. In a later scene, after Wanda complains that she still can't find a babysitter, Lacey mentions that she finds men who like kids attractive, and Brent immediately offers to babysit Tanner. | |

Played with a bit in Red vs. Blue, Grif saves Sarge's Life by giving him CPR when he is shot in the head. Sarge initially thanks Simmons for this, but immediately berates Grif on the foolishness of giving CPR for a head wound. | |

Miko does this in chapter 72 of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, ignoring Ishigami when he tells her that her habit of enforcing the rules by ordering everyone around will cause people to stop listening to her, only to immediately agree with Fujiwara's assessment when she says the same thing. Naturally, Ishigami lampshades this. | |

My So-Called Life: Pretty much everyone does this at least once, but Rickie and Brian are especially prone. Angela delivers an inverse version in "Life of Brian", where she calls the same sentiment "very deep" when Jordan says it and the "stupidest thing she's ever heard" when Brian says it. | |

In one of the Lethal Weapon movies, Murtaugh's daughter comes to him and Riggs and shortly engage in a discussion about alcoholic consumption at her age. Her father says she shouldn't drink, but she brushes him off. However, when Riggs asks the same, she - having a crush on him - promises to take his advice and whole-heartedly agrees with him. | |
