"Am I not in sport?" This line results from a conversation between unequally genre blind characters. Basically, Alice says something meant entirely as a joke that Bob takes completely seriously. | |

In Smart Guy, when Marcus learns that the "girl" he asked out were actually twins, TJ jokingly suggests that Marcus create a twin brother to get himself out of the situation. Unfortunately, Marcus seemed to take it as an actual idea suggestion from TJ and decides to ask them out, with TJ, horrified, then attempting to tell him that he was just kidding. | |

In "Pete Over-Extended" from Pete the Cat, Pete wants to attend both a CatGo and the 9 Lives concert with Callie and a Spacecat convention with Gustavo. He explains his dilemma to Bob, wanting advice, but Bob doesn't really have any good advice and quips that Pete could ride back and forth between them on his skateboard. While he's only joking, Pete thinks it's a great idea and rushes off, leaving Bob to lament that he really didn't mean it. | |

The Great Mouse Detective: "We may as well set it off now!" A different example than usual since Dawson exasperatedly tells Basil that if he gives up they may as well kill themselves now and end it all. It then dawns to Basil that if they set it off at the right moment they can still escape. So the same sentence but with different meaning and in a different way. | |

Often on House, one of House's team will make a sarcastic suggestion that is hugely dangerous, bordering on unethical, whereupon House will say something like 'Well let's do that then' or 'That's just what I was thinking.' Once used the other way around, when House sarcastically snarls that since their patient is a kid they should cure her with puppies and sunshine. Which leads to Chase solving the mystery. | |

In The Name of the Wind, Kvothe spends spends some time trying to convince the infamously eccentric Master Elodin to teach him the titular magic of Naming, while Elodin tries increasingly bizarre ways to blow him off. Kvothe mistakes the ordeal for a Secret Test of Character, so when Elodin tells him to go jump off the roof, he fully expects to be caught... Cue broken bones and an exasperated Elodin having to explain to Kvothe that that was extremley stupid and ill advised. He even cites it as one of the reasons he doesn't want to teach him about Naming. | |

High Times magazine started as a parody of Playboy replacing sex with drugs, and including a photo of a cannabis plant instead of a nude woman as a centerfold.

The Breakup: in the episode "The Breakout: Juggalos", rather than exchanging media, Jacob and guest host Megan go to events together in order to have new experiences. They make a number of jokes about Insane Clown Posse on the show proper. Megan later says over social media, "Hey, ICP is going to be in town, let's do another episode!" and has to say the trope name when Jacob responds, "Well, we should buy tickets soon before they're all sold out." | |

In the American Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Colin Mochrie, in his capacity as a temperamental Prima Donna Director in "Hollywood Director", gives them a scene, roles, a variation (they had been crap), then tells them to do it all backwards. To the best of their remarkable abilities, they do, and when he comes back he's having trouble staying in character as he says he didn't think they'd actually do it. | |

Harry Potter: Played for Laughs in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, where Harry tries to enter the Headmaster's office before realizing that he doesn't know the password for it. He attempts the one that worked two years ago at first; when that fails, he mentions a long list of sweets he can remember (all without success), until, out of sheer desperation, he mentions "cockroach clusters", which turns out to be the right password. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Appears in the flashback when Snape begs Dumbledore to protect Lily Potter from Voldemort now that he knows her son is The Chosen One. |

Grrl Power: Rare positive example. When the armormaster is talking to Sydney about all the horribly dangerous weapons and superpowers she might have to face (and that the armor he is providing will only slightly help protect her from), Sydney freaks out a little and asks if she can have an air canister so that she can keep up her Nigh-Invulnerable shield bubble at all times. The armormaster says that's a good idea, and he'll put in an order with the quartermaster. Sydney picks up the air canister later. Of course, a couple days after that, she discovers that one of her orbs has the power to generate air, thus rendering the canister a bit redundant. Maxima advises her to keep it so that bad guys think she still needs it. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM): In the episode "Hooked on Sonics," when Antoine bemoans that Sally pays more attention to Sonic than him, Rotor remarks that Sonic is a tough act to follow, and that it would take something major to impress her. When Antoine asks "Like what?", Rotor jokes that he could capture Robotnik and bring him back to Knothole. Later, when they find Antoine missing and evidence of him taking a Power Ring; Rotor promptly goes Oh, Crap!, realizing that Antoine actually took his suggestion seriously. | |

Koizumi from Haruhi Suzumiya uttered this at least on one occasion. The thing is, he did it just after one of his countless philosophical monologues. Just as he actually made Kyon feel uneasy about it, he responds "Just kidding, that's not what I think at all." He also inverts the trope at one point, when suggesting that they deal with Haruhi's latest Reality Warp by convincing her that "It was all just a dream. [long pause] I wasn't joking, that was my idea." | |

In Mass Effect 3: Also in 3: If Wrex, Mordin and Eve are alive and Shepard allows the Genophage to be cured, Wrex may sarcastically joke that they'll name one of their newborn children after Mordin, probably a girl. Then right at the end of the game, he'll reveal that Eve is already pregnant... and wants to name the child Mordin, despite his own reticence to the idea. |

While prepping to tackle the first Jail in Persona 5 Strikers, the Phantom Thieves learn that their usual vendors Tae Takemi and Iwai are out of Tokyo for personal reasons, meaning they can't get medication or weapons easily anymore. Their newest recruit Sophia offers to buy them things from the internet and asks if anyone wants anything. Ryuji jokingly asks for a gold bar. She obliges and finds a real gold bar from the Dark Web which gets instantly delivered. Everyone is shocked and horrified by this, especially after Sophia prepares to send them a bill for the cryptocurrency she used to buy the thing. | |

The Magic School Bus: In the episode "Spins A Web", Arnold suggests that the only way to rescue Liz from a gung-ho general wanting to use her as bait for a giant mantis is a giant spider. Given that he's sitting in a shapeshifting school bus, he really should've known better when Phoebe and Ms. Frizzle take him seriously, despite him using the trope name to deny it. | |

In Girl Genius, when Agatha is imprisoned, a cellmate says that she would have better luck having her clank try and unlock the door. Before the cellmate can stop her, Agatha says it's a good idea, gives the clank her lockpick (she wasn't having any luck), so it opens up the drain and disappears. Then the cellmate states that she wasn't actually serious. The horrible thing is, the clank succeeds in opening the door hours later only to allow the Big Bad to reawaken. Really, those clanks are basically Diabolus ex Machina when unsupervised. |

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality: When Harry and Draco see the Quibbler headline "Boy-Who-Lived Gets Draco Malfoy Pregnant", Harry jokingly declares that he'll murder whoever wrote it. Draco explains that Luna Lovegood is behind everything in that magazine, and not jokingly declares that he intends to rape her. It is at this point that Harry realizes that Draco has surreptitiously put up a sound-muffling charm so they can plan these things in secret. | |

Death Note has three cases: One, when Soichiro says that he might have a problem with Kira cleaning up crime and Matsuda reacts to this in surprise. The former comments he's just joking. Two, Light joked about wanting to have Shinigami Wings, instead of their eyes. Three is when Hatori attempts to leave Yotsuba. This doesn't spare him, though. |

(cue "Be Prepared") This classic line of Timon's: "What do you want us to do, dress in drag and do the hula?!" A variation occurs in The Lion King 1 ½. Timon is unhappy with his life, and Rafiki tells him to seek Hakuna Matata, and to go beyond what he sees, prompting Timon to go on a journey to find a place where he'll be happy. The problem comes when Rafiki is talking Timon's mother later. |

Darker than Black: This is November 11's catchphrase in . His sense of humor is rather... Dark, shall we say, to which the deadpan addition of this sentence usually doesn't help much. Also an example from Mao which has the benefit of actually being funny. At the end of the episode with the body-stealing Contractor, he's talking to Hei about the benefits of the cat body he's trapped in. He asserts that he likes being a cat "because of all of the delicious kibble he's able to eat". After Hei gives him a look, he tells him he was joking and winks at the viewer. There's some other very good ones too, like the one where November 11 might actually have been telling the truth: He also tends to be the victim of the occasional Ironic Echo, and Kirihara came up with the most fitting memorial to him possible after his death. |

Mahoney suggests putting the seats back, only to discover they're as far back as they'll go and suggests ripping out the front seats and sitting in back. We then cut to Hightower doing just that.

One Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Tomorrow Is Yesterday" has the Enterprise mistakenly beam aboard a fellow from the 20th century. The man, Captain John Christopher, is understandably mystified, and he can't be teleported back right away without jeopardizing the mission. The transporter technician asks Captain Christopher if he'd like anything, and the sarcastic response is "chicken soup". The tech inserts one particular card into a nearby replicator, and within seconds, the panel lifts to expose a steaming bowl of chicken soup. Catching the aroma, Captain Christopher peers at it, dips one finger in it, and tastes his finger. Stupefied, he identifies it as, indeed, chicken soup. | |

On his way out the door, he tells Jaime to give Tywin Lannister his regards, and Jaime snaps back that Roose should be sure to give his own regards to Robb Stark. He's clearly just being sarcastic, but Roose actually does it. Although saying "Jaime Lannister sends his regards" while putting a sword through Robb probably wasn't what Jaime had in mind... | |

A variation occurs in The Lion King 1 ½. Timon is unhappy with his life, and Rafiki tells him to seek Hakuna Matata, and to go beyond what he sees, prompting Timon to go on a journey to find a place where he'll be happy. The problem comes when Rafiki is talking Timon's mother later. | |

Forrest Gump: Not actually said, but it was strongly implied that LBJ's "desire" to see the wound on Gump's behind (he came back from Vietnam after being shot in the "but-tocks") was actually intended to be a joke. Forrest, being Forrest, interprets this literally, and proceeds to oblige his "request" on live TV, causing Johnson to chuckle to himself and say "Goddamn, son!" | |

In To Love Ru, Yui ends up in a compromising position with Rito while wearing nothing but a dress shirt (it's a long story). As she's been secretly crushing on him for quite a while and thinks that he's trying to seduce her, she heavily implies that she'd be willing to have sex with him. When Rito, being something of a Celibate Hero by-way-of Chivalrous Pervert, backs off, she claims that her offer wasn't supposed to be serious. | |

One episode of Leverage has Sophie interrogating an agricultural conglomerate's janitor under the false pretense that he's a corporate spy to help justify a continued security lockdown (also to swipe his security badge and make sure he's not in a position to need it). Out of nowhere, she randomly accuses him of having an account in the Cayman Islands. Much to everyone's surprise, he does — he's been infiltrating the company for years. | |

One day during his on-air shift, KMET DJ Chuck Taylor played the 12″ version of Blondie's "Call Me" at 45 RPM instead of 33⅓ RPM and jokingly announced that it was Alvin and the Chipmunks' latest single. Listeners ended up making enough requests for that "new" Chipmunks release that Chipmunks property owner Ross Bagdasarian Jr. teamed up with Steve Vining to record Chipmunk Punk, an entire album of covers of New Wave Music songs performed by the Chipmunks, which included an official Chipmunks cover of "Call Me". | |

Dusty Rhodes joked during a TNA booking meeting that they should just put every match on the card in a cage. Company president Dixie Carter legitimately didn't understand that he wasn't serious and thought it was a brillant idea. Thus, the TNA Lockdown PPV—which consisted of nothing but cage matches—was born. | |

Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: In Case 4 at one point it seems that Phoenix is completely out of leads, so the prosecutor tauntingly suggests that they cross-examine the killer's parrot just for the sake of comic relief. Phoenix decides to take him up on his offer. While it turns out that von Karma had retrained the parrot, Phoenix is able to get out enough info to continue with the case anyway. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies: At one point in the final case, Phoenix gets a letter from Maya, who had completely misinterpreted the bombing of Courtroom No. 4 in the first case, assuming that he was in a trial held in an "exploding courtroom". Phoenix remembers this when they're forced by Aura Blackquill to start a retrial of an old case, but all the courtooms are full...except for the "exploding courtroom"; Courtroom No. 4, which had been sealed off due to safety concerns and hadn't been used to hold trials since. |

Then fustrated at the fact that the leader thinks it's not the right style, he goes, "They can just wear their uniforms!" Dewey has a Not Listening to Me, Are You? moment hearing Zack (the guitarist)'s song and says absentmindedly, "That's not a bad idea." To which the young boy says, "Not a bad idea? I was kidding!" Later becomes a Brick Joke when they do use their uniforms (stylized to make the band look cooler) at the Battle of the Bands. | |

During the Hiveswap Kickstarter campaign, the highest donation tier was to have a fan troll included in Homestuck for $10,000. Despite this very clearly being a joke (as evidenced by a $100,000 tier on an external sitenote Kickstarter does not allow pledges higher than $10k being "Having said fan trolls survive more than one panel"), two people genuinely did pledge $10k to have their fan trolls in the comic and Hussie had to immediately limit the tier to two people to stop any more pledges from being made. Sure enough, Hussie kept his word, included the trolls and immediately killed them off afterwards. | |

Forced to cook the dinner of eels themselves, Frasier has Niles do the cooking while he talks with the guests.

Friends: The episode "The One Where Rachel Smokes" takes its name from a subplot in which Rachel starts smoking in order to get in the important conversations her boss, Kim, and coworker, Nancy, have in the smokers' room. The first time she lights a cigarette, the following transpires: Subverted in an episode where Joey tries to come up with a new stage name. Chandler sarcastically suggests "Stalin" in response to "Joe". Joey, not knowing his history, takes him seriously. Subverted in that, while Chandler has this reaction visually, he then encourages Joey to actually use the name. His next audition does not go well. |
