A title that implies something optimistic, happy, and generally positive... for an episode that's not. Favorites include traditionally joyous holidays (Christmas, Valentine's Day), emotions on the positive side of the spectrum (Love, Joy) and generally optimistic words (Beautiful, Wonderful). Expect the Wham Episode to use this. Deceptively Silly Title is a subtrope. |

The first season finale of Desperate Housewives, "One Wonderful Day". Wonderful indeed - at the end of the episode, one husband is dead, another husband is in prison, and a third character is Left for Dead. (The Stephen Sondheim song suggested by the show's Idiosyncratic Episode Naming, however, doesn't go any darker than an Ironic Echo.) | |

The House episode "Merry Little Christmas" was anything but. It ends with House sprawling in a pool of his own vomit/drool in front of the TV after nearly overdosing on Vicodin, while his "best friend" Wilson just looks at him lying there then walks away in disgust. The irony is questionable, since this is is obviously a reference to the song Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, which is really a pretty nasty piece of work in the first place. The original lyrics are even bleaker, but Judy Garland refused to sing them. It's a pun title, since the patient of the week is a little person. | |

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is this trope when applied to an entire show, but usually tend to avoid using these kinds of episode titles with the exception of "A Very Sunny Christmas" which has Charlie finding out he's a Son of a Whore, a Mall Santa's ear getting bitten off, and theft. (Granted, sunshine isn't very Christmas-y). | |

Supernatural: "Everybody Loves a Clown", also a candidate for horrific. "The Kids Are Alright." They are not. They are really really not. "Time Is On My side" given it comes an episode before Dean's contract is due. "A Very Supernatural Christmas" — anything but merry. Features evil old people and torn out fingernails. "I Believe the Children Are Our Future" is something of a subversion in that Antichrist Jesse turns out to be a nice kid. "The Hero's Journey" denies all heroic moves to both Sam and Dean, who have to be saved by Garth all the way through. |

As End Of Evangelion is an alternate Episode 25 and 26, it has its own episode titles. The second half of the movie where everyone basically dies was titled "My Purest Heart for You (Sincerely Yours)". One gets the feeling that Hideaki Anno was feeling especially nasty at the time. Probably from the cross-referencing the TV episodes and more generally, Shinji Ikari, that the titles are such. In that case, it's not so ironic. |

The very first episode of Red Dwarf was called "The End". Borderline because the episode actually did deal with a massive accident that wiped out almost the entire crew, setting up the series for After the End. (And with that situation set up, the episode ended with a caption in the same font, saying "The Beginning".) | |

Steven Universe; in the episode "Dewey Wins", Nanefua Pizza wins the election and becomes mayor of Beach City, even though the title is clearly saying Dewey Wins. Although Dewey believed he'd be crushed by the pressure of an actual crisis, he admits Nanefua would be a better mayor than him. The title is a play on a famous picture of Harry Truman after the presidential election, holding up a newspaper with the headline "Dewey Defeats Truman". The headline was premature; Truman had actually won. | |

Best Friends Forever concerns Twilight Sparkle's maddened attempts to keep her friends alive for all eternity, which feature her repeatedly regressing them to infancy against their will and destroying their minds in the process. Oh, and Twilight was driven to this conclusion while watching Fluttershy slowly die of old age. For good measure, the story ends with Celestia killing Twilight to spare the Mane Six from any more of this, leaving Celestia struggling with the guilt of having killed her former friend. | |

However, even though it dealt with the end of the world, it actually ended with the Earth being restored, and the show continued for another season.

Survival of the Fittest can fall into this at times when a title of a thread sounds more cheerful and optimistic than it actually is, such as one where a character is getting killed. Sometimes it isn't intentional, and the handlers had no idea what exactly was going to happen in the thread. In other cases, it's intentional. One example in v4 pre-game is titled "Happily Ever Afters (Below The Waist)", which has JJ Sturn Kick the Dog by breaking up with Rosa Fiametta after sleeping with her and then hitting her. In v4 proper, another example was titled "Thank You For Being A Friend" in which Reiko Ishida crosses the Moral Event Horizon by strangling her only living friend to death in a fit of rage. | |

The Legend of Korra: The episode in which Zaheer kills the Earth Queen is titled "Long Live the Queen". However, there is context behind this; the title itself is taken from the traditional proclamation: "The King/Queen Is Dead, Long Live The King/Queen", making it a meaningful, Spoiler Title because it's usually announced after a monarch's death, but also ironic because in this case, no one has succeeded immediately after. | |

A decidedly downplayed and simple example would be "Camping on a Deserted Rock is FUN!", from Calvin & Hobbes: The Series. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "Fool for Love" is exploration of Spike's backstory, and while there are a few moments of romance, it's mostly bad-assed carnage as Spike tells the stories of how previously he killed two slayers. It's also a Literary Allusion Title to the Sam Shepard play of the same name, which is very similar in structure. Word of God confirms that the fourth season episode where Faith wakes up from a coma and steal Buffy's body was originally called "rise and shine". |

The third story in the Angel of the Bat trilogy is named, "Da Pacem Domine", which is Latin for, "Give peace, Lord." The phrase is borrowed from a chant utilized during the Crusades and is tied in with the story's villains, who are most certainly not peaceful. | |

The Stargate Atlantis episode "Sunday" because it sounds like an episode about the characters relaxing and having a day off and mostly is... until they kill off a main character. | |

Babylon 5 has several episodes with deliberately unassuming titles that contain very important events, for example, "Interludes and Examinations", in which several important characters variously die, leave their job because of addiction, and make a deal with the devil. Among other things. | |
