One character delivers a confession that should have a big reaction attached to it, but for whatever reason, their audience doesn't take it seriously or outright ignores it. Sarcastic Confession is when the confession was never meant to be taken seriously. If the character is ignored because of their youth, it's Not Now, Kiddo. If the character is ignored because he and his story sound absolutely crazy, it's You Have to Believe Me!. If it's for no reason at all, see Ignored Expert and The Cassandra. Compare and contrast Cassandra Truth, In Vino Veritas, Refuge in Audacity. Examples |

Divinity: Original Sin II: When the heroes subdue and question Roost Anlon, the Psycho for Hire trying to kill them, he says that "God" sent him. He's literally frothing mad and is untrustworthy for many reasons, so it passes without comment. Two Acts later, The Very Definitely Final Dungeon reveals that Lucian the Divine faked his death and has been masterminding many of the game's events, including hiring Roost. | |

In Horimiya, Hori learns from her brother Sota that Miyamura was walking with another girl named Chika. When she confronts him over it, Miyamura tells her Chika is Shindo's girlfriend and he was just helping her walk because she twisted her foot, so there is nothing between him and her. Of course, given Hori's status as a Clingy Jealous Girl towards him, and because he kept referring Chika by her given name, she didn't listen to his explanation, instead attacking him with books every time he opened his mouth and left in a huff. The truth does eventually get through her when he visits her. | |

Martin insists the spray paint cans Goode found don't belong to him, and Goode replies "That's right, those are my cans." It isn't until more than halfway through Part Three that his confession is revealed to be true, after several far worse reveals about his character.

Played straight and then averted in Quiz Show, in which Charles Van Doren takes the stand and confesses that he's deceived the public, and the committee members start complimenting him on the wonderful speech he just made, to his evident embarrassment — until one of them says that he doesn't think that Charles should be thanked for just telling the truth. Charles looks almost relieved that he's not being allowed to get away with it anymore. | |

RainbowDoubleDash's Lunaverse: In the non-cannon "Nightmares Yet to Come", an irritated Trixie asks Midnight why she is the way she is, and Midnight replies that she's actually a fragment of Tirek implanted in a pony who has travelled back in time. Trixie is appropriately incredulous, and Midnight says "this is why I never tell jokes." However, there's some suggestion at least part of what she said is true. And she never actually said she was joking. | |

In one episode of The Simpsons, Homer pretends to be a pilot to drink at a bar. Unfortunately, a controller comes in and asks him to fly to the Windy City. When he says he can't, the man confronts him and asks if he's impersonating a pilot just to drink there. Homer instantly confesses, at which point the controller laughs and declares "You fly boys crack me up" before forcing him into the cockpit. In another episode a man told Chief Wiggum that he had just torched a building downtown and was afraid he'd do it again. Chief Wiggum replied "Yeah right, I'll just type that up on my invisible typewriter." A similar joke was used on Family Guy when a man confessed to having a body in the trunk and the policeman replied: “Aww. What a beautiful baby. Where's your mommy?� In a later episode, Bart told Homer "I got suspended in school today. They found a switchblade in my locker. I took a swing at a cop. I'm just mad all the time." Homer is too preoccupied with his new website to listen. |

Ah! My Goddess: Belldandy in the TV series is confronted by Sayoko, who doesn't believe her exchange student cover story and demands to know "Just who are you?!" To which Bell replies, without a hint of sarcasm, "A Goddess." Sayoko, thinking it's an insult, just gets mad and storms away. Belldandy frequently says things without a trace of irony that are taken as a Sarcastic Confession. For instance, her first exchange when she talks to Megumi she tells her that she works at the Goddess Help Line and that she has a contract to stay with Keiichi forever. Megumi shrugs it off, believing she's just speaking metaphorically of living together with Keiichi. |

Toradora!: Late in the story, after Ryuuji saves her from the snowstorm during their class trip, an injured and delirious Taiga (who mistakes him for Kitamura) admits her feelings for him, but that she wants him to be with Minori, no matter how much it hurts her. Ryuuji tries to pretend that her confession didn't happen, and that Kitamura was the one who saved her. Unfortunately, he filled Kitamura in on the plan, but not Minori, and the latter (who secretly ships Taiga/Ryuuji, despite her own feelings for him) is pissed when she finds out what Ryuuji did. | |

DC Animated Universe: Batman: The Animated Series: In "The Lion And The Unicorn", Red Claw demands a password from Alfred. Alfred simply ignores her and starts reciting "The Lion and the Unicorn" from the Wonderland books. Even when drugged up on truth serum, he continues reciting the poem. Unlike most cases of this, she does eventually realize that the password is "The Lion and the Unicorn"... it just takes her a while. In "I've Got Batman in My Basement", when the kid's mother asks what they're doing in the basement, the kid's friend answers, "We just saved Batman's life, and now we're hiding him from some bad criminals". The mom's response? "That's good, just don't make a mess." Batman Beyond: In "Sneak Peek", Terry tries to tell his family that he's Batman. They don't believe him. |

In The Dresden Files novel Proven Guilty, Molly confesses her love to Harry. He openly tells her that he's not going to take it seriously, for two reasons: One, because she's a rebellious teenager and her attraction to him is partly fueled by that; and two, because he's just saved her from a highly traumatic experience and her perception of him is being coloured by that. Years on, Molly admits this was the right thing for him to do, although she is angry that he refused to acknowledge her feelings even after they became more genuine. | |

In chapter 96 of Spy X Family, Damian rhetorically asks Anya whether she knew about a secret story from his childhood because she read his mind. Because of how close to him she felt at that moment (they were dancing together at the school ball and Damian had just praised her beloved family), Anya was seized by a sudden compulsion to admit to him her deepest secret- that she's a telepath and she can read minds. Damian obviously doesn't believe her and accuses her of watching too much cartoons. | |

On Phineas and Ferb, the title characters are perfectly willing to tell their mom about their ridiculous antics, even backing up Candace when she tries to bust them for it. Naturally, Linda always assumes that they're just playing games or the evidence that they show her looks innocuous on its own. In one episode, Candace wins an essay contest to be mayor for the day. Her essay outright said that she'd use all this power to try and bust her brothers. Apparently the judges thought this was some kind of metaphor. |

In a US Acres cartoon, Orson's brothers steal vegetables dressed up as three pieces of a car and run so fast that a police officer pulls them over and gives them a speeding ticket. In trying to get out of the ticket, they confess to camouflaging themselves as a car in order to commit theft (and further investigation would have proven it to be robbery), but luckily for them, the cop doesn't believe them and fails to see through their Paper-Thin Disguise. Had he believed their confession, they would have been in a lot more trouble and the vegetables would have been returned to Orson's farm but the officer had to carry the Idiot Ball for the plot to continue. | |

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac regularly tells people that he is, indeed, a Serial Killer. For whatever reason, no one believes him. He actually gets a bit annoyed with it after a while; if he ever tries to get himself arrested or just plain kill himself (he's crazy, he doesn't need a good reason for it) some contrived coincidence protects him. Usually. | |

Batman: The Animated Series: In "The Lion And The Unicorn", Red Claw demands a password from Alfred. Alfred simply ignores her and starts reciting "The Lion and the Unicorn" from the Wonderland books. Even when drugged up on truth serum, he continues reciting the poem. Unlike most cases of this, she does eventually realize that the password is "The Lion and the Unicorn"... it just takes her a while. In "I've Got Batman in My Basement", when the kid's mother asks what they're doing in the basement, the kid's friend answers, "We just saved Batman's life, and now we're hiding him from some bad criminals". The mom's response? "That's good, just don't make a mess." |

In Dollhouse, Paul has built up a reputation of being obsessed with finding the Dollhouse, which his fellow agents consider to be a ridiculous Conspiracy Theory. In the season one finale, when he's working with the Dollhouse to stop Alpha, he tells his colleagues (whom Alpha has called to the building as a distraction) that this is the Dollhouse's headquarters. In context this might have been a Sarcastic Confession, knowing that they'd ignore him and go away, or an example of this trope, if we assume that Paul wanted them to really investigate the building and take down the Dollhouse anyway. | |

Due to their status as rivals and his Inferiority Superiority Complex, Bakugo dismisses the claim as absurd. Eventually, witnessing the circumstances surrounding All Might's retirement leads Bakugo to realize that Izuku was telling the truth, as well as that his Quirk came from All Might. | |

Eventually Daria just tells her (in what seems to be a rather difficult confession) that she's so naturally beautiful that she drives other girls (possibly including Daria herself) crazy with envy. Quinn just stares at Daria for a moment and then admonishes her for not taking things seriously. Also this, from the Bizarro Episode "Depth Takes a Holiday": |

Futurama 'Fry and the Slurm Factory': In a rare show of cleverness, Fry manages to invoke this by getting Professor Farnsworth to describe their unusual relationship ("I'm not your grandpa, you're my uncle! From the year 2000!") to an outsider, who subsequently writes the Professor off as senile. All this to keep the government from shutting down his favorite soft drink... Bender accuses Farnsworth of insanity to get out of a jail sentence in 'A Clockwork Origin' (no relation). Farnsworth, in an attempt to disprove this, states that he got to the planet in a home-built spaceship. If you don't believe him, ask his uncle! ...Who is younger than he is. And, yes, It all Makes Sense In Context. |

At the end of the episode, the gallery is robbed and Blackpool's company is liable for all the payouts. Then Nate revealed he recorded his own confession and Blackpool's lack of response, thus making Blackpool criminally liable for not contacting the police when Nate told him this and he knows Nate is a thief. | |

Pre-Flashpoint Superman, in his Clark Kent persona, was kidnapped by a gangster during his honeymoon with Lois (who, reversing the roles, went to his rescue). As he was depowered at the time, he was severely beaten up and drugged with a Truth Serum. Under the serum's effect, he told them he was Superman (and was without his glasses), but the gangster refused to believe and thought the serum wasn't working. Somewhat justified, as Clark, depowered, had several hematomas and was bleeding, something isn't supposed to happen to Superman, whose depowered status wasn't publicly known. | |

American Psycho: After a string of grisly murders and running from the cops, Patrick Bateman calls his lawyer and confesses to the whole thing. When he later confronts his lawyer, he insists that he wasn't joking, but he is rebuffed, and the lawyer is actually irritated to the point that he tells Bateman the joke isn't funny anymore. This is compounded by the fact that Bateman might not be a serial killer, and may just be delusional and psychotic, but it is ambiguous. Throughout the film, he confesses in absurd ways, and people either don't hear him properly or ignore him, a commentary on the egotistical feelings of all around him. | |

Friends: Before Ross and Rachel first started dating - being whacked out on painkillers gives Ross the courage to admit to Rachel that he's in love with her. Her response is basically pat him on the head and say that she loves him too, in the way one would reply to a small child (or someone obviously too under-the-influence to take seriously). Ross quickly becomes frustrated with his inability to convince her that he's serious. One episode features the following dialogue between love-struck Chandler and Joey, about Joey's girlfriend, after Joey asks Chandler to at least pretend to get on with her. |

A subversion in Catherine: The bartender aptly named "Boss" (although he's only a Sub-Boss) confesses that he's surprised the protagonist Vincent has managed to figure out that he's the evil villain behind the nightmares plaguing the city. Vincent only cares that he also saw the girl who Vincent had been cheating with but who no one else remembered... but when the villain calms down and starts feeling secure that his secret is still safe, Vincent reveals he did indeed pay attention to the confession and begins interrogating him about it. | |
