I'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You!	comment	This is when someone â€” usually a villain â€” grabs hold of the Idiot Ball, and denies information in such a fashion that states exactly what is allegedly being denied. For example, Alice has defeated Bob, The Dragon, whose boss has kidnapped Carol. Alice demands to know where Carol is, but Bob just smirks at her and says, "Ha! I'll never tell you that she's in the warehouse in Somewhere City!" A sort of Accidental Public Confession, with a little Suspiciously Specific Denial thrown in for good measure. If the person is doing this deliberately and therefore is not being stupid at all, it's Could Say It, But... instead of this trope. Or it could be a variation where the villain has a gun in his face and he's a coward and only acts as if this is the case. If the person saying this is not a complete moron, they may follow it with "Did I Just Say That Out Loud?" A sufficiently clever villain may give out a lie in this manner, expecting the heroes to think that they just accidentally told the truth. The term for this trope in rhetoric is apophasis. Also related to You Just Told Me. Truth Serums in fiction have been known to cause this. Compare Cannot Keep a Secret and Loose Lips. Sub-Trope of Saying Too Much. If the person revealing information this way is doing it deliberately, it's Could Say It, But.... When done by a third party, it's Idiotic Partner Confession.

I'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You! / int_10b03dcf	comment	Batman: Arkham Asylum: Invoked when Harley Quinn says, regarding the Joker's location: "You'll never find him! He's in a secret lab in the gardens and... aw, crap!" Of course, Bats already knew, so this just served as another item on the Humiliation Conga she was currently going through. In a Call-Back, Harley does this once again in the second game by not telling Batman about the Freeze Tech in the boiler room, and again in the "Harley Quinn's Revenge" DLC by not telling Robin about the secret room she and many of her mooks are hiding in.

Pretending to know his "secret", he explains that there's no way you could know that the two Kobold chieftain brothers in the slime-infested sewers are having a feud and that therefore it would be the perfect time to take out both sides.

I'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You! / int_248a0d14	comment	A particularly clunky example occurs in a second-season episode of Lie to Me: a guy suspected of killing a woman named Connie claims to not know her husband, Eric. When asked if he'd ever been to Connie's house, the suspect immediately replies, "No, I've never been to Eric's wife's house." As an inadvertent slip, it seems oddly deliberate.

There's a much more extended example in "Bart The Fink": In "Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'Em", peanut products are banned from Springfield Elementary due to someone (Principal Skinner) having an allergy, and Bart asks Groundskeeper Willie who it is. In "Secrets of a Successful Marriage" Homer tries to keep a story about an "anonymous" couple by calling them "Mr. X" and "Mrs. Y". Skinner does this in "Lisa the Vegetarian", when he delivers an address to Lisa's class to respond to Lisa's complaints about the school adopting anti-vegetarian policies:

Once it is so thoroughly contained that it cannot escape, it is asked why it didn't escape before all the changes to its containment were made.

It almost begs the question of how they managed to keep the secret for a quarter of a century given their apparent carelessness in talking about it.

I'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You! / int_f6da9a18	comment	In an episode early in the second season of Sgt. Frog, Keroro leaves a robotic copy of himself to head the invasion so he can go to the amusement park and see the Java Risers live show. After discovering the robot, Giroro presses Tamama to tell him where Keroro went. Tamama replies by saying that he'll never tell them that Keroro's at the amusement park. Later in the episode, Tamama finds a candy house and assumes it's a gift from Keroro for keeping his secret. This adds on to an already-established gag of Tamama not being able to keep secrets.
