Any time something is mistaken for deep, intelligent, or artistic, but it's clearly not. This could be for many reasons. Sometimes it's about differing perspectives on the meaning of what is said/done. Sometimes people lack the full context of what they are mistaking. Sometimes there is no reason other than Rule of Funny. What happens next can also vary. The mistaken person may never be found out (and he/she may just go with this). Sometimes it causes problems for the mistaken person. Sometimes the mistaken thing is revealed to be what it is almost immediately after being praised (often by a character who is The Ditz, so it's pretending to be Dumbass Has a Point and then subverting it). A Super-Trope to Seemingly Profound Fool (when The Fool or The Ditz is constantly mistaken for being profound). Compare Ice-Cream Koan, Comically Missing the Point, Mistaken for Exhibit, Not Actually the Ultimate Question, and Profound by Pop Song. When the entire work gets this treatment from the audience, it's Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory. |

There was an issue of Green Lantern in which Hal Jordan, while living as a drifter, was working temporarily as a seasonal farmhand. One of the other farmhands was a hippie who told Hal that he mostly "follow[ed] the Dead," which Hal thought was poetic until the man explained that he followed The Grateful Dead on tour. | |

DC Super Hero Girls: Karen (Bumblebee) is trying to tell Jessica (Green Lantern) that the Super Villain Girls are planting a bomb on the bridge into town so Harley Quinn won't have to take a math test tomorrow. Jess believes "There's a bomb on the bridge" is a perfect metaphor in favor of vegetarianism, and incorporates it into her protest of the Burrito Bucket restaurant. | |

Lasagna Cat episode 07/27/1978 revolves around a man who thinks a(n incredibly banal) three-panel Garfield strip◊ is the most profound artistic statement in human history, and he spends an hour detailing his lifelong journey to uncover whatever spiritual and philosophical meaning Jim Davis poured into it. The lecture spans from the beginning of the universe to the final state of entropy, and he firmly believes that Garfield holds the secrets to understanding God and man. | |

The Simpsons: In the episode "Bart's Inner Child", self-help guru Brad Goodman convinces the entire town of Springfield to copy Bart's mantra of "I do what I feel like". Also in "Simpson Tide", where Homer enrolls in the Naval Reserve and his captain takes an immediate shine to him, inviting him to eat at the captain's table. |

In a The Kids in the Hall skit, Mark, Bruce, and Dave are Sitting on the Roof sharing a bottle of wine and looking at the moon. Mark tells a story about the moon watching him during a teenage romance, and Bruce spontaneously responds with an angry beat poem about the moon laughing down at violence in the Middle East. Dave gradually goes from appreciative to panicked as he realizes he'll be expected to come up with something too. When his turn comes, he just blurts out, "Gee, I wonder who owns that moon," then cringes as he waits for judgement. Bruce and Mark act as though it's deep and congratulate him. Dave just shrugs and the skit ends. | |

The entire premise of the Taz-Mania episode "Ask Taz". Bushwhacker Bob has Taz scrubbing the floor at the hotel. A senator on vacation asks Bob for cruise advice and hears Taz grumbling "Taz hate water." Just then, the television reports that the cruise ship has sunk. Feeling lucky, the senator then asks Taz's advice on a flood bill. The senator takes "Taz hate water" to mean Taz approves of the bill and compliments him on his genius. Bob stirkes at this business opportunity and quickly sets up an "Ask Taz" booth. The phones ring off the hook and Taz diligently answers them "Taz hate water" while still trying to perform his regular job as bellhop. When Taz is offered a television show, Bob craves the proceeds. Taz uses this as leverage to make Bob do some work. The show is a hit, with Taz answering "Taz hate water" to every question. | |

In Freefall a robot misinterprets Sam's attempt to steal from him as commentary on humans and the nature of greed. Possibly subverted in that the next comic implies that that may well have actually been Sam's intention, and his denial was part of the lesson he was trying to teach. | |

In Discworld, Witches Abroad mentions that wisdom from far off appears more profound, which explains why saffron-clad young men tend to pay visits to Ms. Marietta Cosmopolite, an Ankh-Morpork dressmaker. They take the phrases she spouts like "I wasn't born yesterday" and "When it rains, it pours" as koans, and end up inventing a martial art inspired by her that involves shouting at people and hitting them with brooms. Thief of Time reveals that Lu-Tze of the Time Monks is a follower of "The Way of Ms. Cosmopolite", but it's unclear whether Lu-Tze actually believes it to be profound or not. He seems to find a certain profundity to them, but unlike the other monks, he also knows what they actually mean (he implies at one point that the sheer practicality is why he thinks they're profound); the other monks try to parse them as koans, which makes them look silly (not that they really need Lu-Tze's help at that). He is doing the latter on purpose though; he wrote it all down in a book he carries with him so he can introduce the quotes with "Is it not written..." Many of her sayings are also coincidentally very similar to things the History Monks' founder said, although the degree varies from "more practical version of the same idea" to "malapropism". For example, she says "no time like the present" while he says "no time but the present." As Lu-Tze's importance comes from his knowing all of their tricks and wisdom while not actually being a monk (strictly speaking he's the janitor) the "old woman's common sense" version serves him better. |

At the end of Ralph Breaks the Internet, Ralph joins a book club with his fellow game characters. On Notes from Underground, he says that he does and does not think the author intentionally used Unreliable Narrator as a plot device; Sonic the Hedgehog takes this to mean Ralph found "duality" in the story, which he finds really deep. | |

Bill & Ted: Spoofed in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, the boys are able to pass off the lyrics from "Every Rose Has its Thorn" as the meaning of life, which earns them access to Heaven. In Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill and Ted decide to "recruit" Socrates by "philosophiz[ing] with him", quoting the lyrics to "Dust in the Wind" in pantomime. Socrates is stunned, thinking that the boys agree with what he was saying before they showed up, and says "Of course! Like sands in the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Lives!" He ends up being so amused that B&T are free to gently lead him back to the time machine while he's laughing his head off. |

In Tiger & Bunny, Keith is going through an emotional slump when he happens to meet a pretty girl (actually a malfunctioning Robot Girl) in the park. As he explains his problem she continually responds "Why?," which he takes to mean that he needs to look deeper inside himself for answers. He gets over his slump and returns to his usual bombastic self, ironically by destroying the robot when she goes berserk. | |

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Riften's court wizard Wylandriah is preoccupied with a magical conundrum. If you ask her about it, she'll ask for your opinion. As you go through the dialogue tree, you can either tell you her you don't know what she's talking about or offer nonsense. She interprets the nonsense as a fresh perspective on her problem, even if you told her to use "the blue thing." Similarly, when impersonating the Gourmet, you can instruct the chef Gianna to add ingredients such as vampire dust, a giant's toe and a gold coin to the stew, to which she interprets as creating a distinct flavor. |

When the Lone Wanderer shows up, Harold is just happy to meet someone who actually listens to what he says instead of interpreting all his words as some kind of existential riddle.

For All Mankind. When NASAs' Sojourner-1 manages to safely land on Mars after having rescued the crew of the Soviet Unions' Mars-94, the cameras on the ship are broadcast across the world show both an Astronaut and a Cosmonaut walking off the ship side-by-side before they embrace one-another and collapse onto the Martian surface, serving as a sign of new positive relations between the United States and the Soviet Union ever since Danielle Pooles' famous handshake that had saved the world from armageddon: whom as it turned out was the commander of the Sojourner-1 Mars Mission. In-reality, Danielle Poole and the Russian Commander were actually bickering with one-another over who should be the one to step onto Mars first, and the camera cut out before the two of them began to tussle. | |

The result is an incoherent mess combining bits of memories from a timeline that never happened with bits of prophecy.

Ikki always interprets the man's sales pitches as words of wisdom pertaining to whatever problem he currently has. Occasionally, other characters pass him by when they have trouble and treat him and his speeches the same way Ikki does. | |

In Boy Meets World, Shawn ends up sitting in on a college philosophy class. When in response to the question, "Why are you here?" he responds "just visiting," everyone takes it as an expression of his belief on the transience of life. This leads Shawn to start thinking that he doesn't need to apply himself in his high school classes anymore, since he's apparently having such an easy time in a college environment. Subverted later on when Cory, who shows up to try and bring Shawn back, tells the professor that he's "just passing through" and gets mocked for seemingly thinking he can pass himself off as profound by spouting Ice Cream Koans in class. Shawn is crushed at the end of the episode when his term paper is flunked by the professor, who points out that his lack of knowledge of the basics (from high school) means that his grammatically twisted, illogical and contradictory paper cannot properly express his thoughts. | |

Xenoblade Chronicles 3: The Queen of Agnus is a legendary feature in both nations, essentially the Agnian God-Emperor. Therefore, everyone assumes that everything out of her mouth is layered with meaning. In fairness, most of what she says is rather profound and meaningful, but underneath it all she's still the foul-mouthed street girl she was long ago. At one point, she flat-out tells the party she has no idea what they should do next; they figure it out on their own, and assume that was all part of her plan. | |

My Hero Academia makes this a minor Running Gag with Tenya Iida, due to his extremely straightforward and honest personality. When he's first introduced he doesn't like Izuku Midoriya, thinking that the latter isn't taking U.A.'s entrance exam seriously enough. However, Izuku manages to pass the field test by scoring "rescue points" for saving another student in danger, something the students weren't even told about. Iida jumps to the conclusion that Izuku caught onto the Secret Test of Character and is far cleverer than he realized, apologizing for his earlier rudeness and eventually becoming one of Izuku's best friends. Later on, during the Summer Camp arc, when the teachers tell the students that they'll have to make their own meals, Iida assumes it's another form of trainingnote since heroes have to be ready to comfort the victims of crimes and disasters, and having delicious food is one way of doing so and gets the other students fired up despite being exhausted from the day's physical exercise. The latter case is lampshaded by Aizawa-sensei thinking to himself "Sometimes Iida's pretty useful to have around." | |

Daria: This happens relatively often, usually only between the least intelligent members of the cast. For example, Kevin and Brittany telling each other how smart they are, Sandi telling Quinn that she's deep, and Mystic Spiral lyrics. One episode, "Quinn the Brain," centered around most of the school deciding that Quinn was smart and deep, and her trying to act that way as a result (and thus annoying Daria to no end). There was a Reset Button at the end, though ironically Quinn would legitimately go on to gain a boost of intelligence in later seasons. Daria herself can get this, oddly enough, when she makes a sarcastic comment that people take literally (or as a suggestion for some school activity): |

In The Good Place this is revealed in the fourth episode to be what Jianyu - real name Jason Mendoza- has been doing the whole time. Accidentally put in the Good Place, he was offered the perfect cover by being mistaken for a Buddhist monk who took a vow of silence, so he just lets everyone else project wisdom on him. If he does say anything the illusion is immediately shattered. | |

In The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society Production of Macbeth, the show within the show is being adjudicated for a drama festival, which adds to the tension when anything that can possibly go wrong does. However, when the adjudicator gets up to speak at the end, he's very pleased with what he's seen, having interpreted every catastrophe as a deliberate artistic decision that deepens the play. | |

In Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Bill and Ted decide to "recruit" Socrates by "philosophiz[ing] with him", quoting the lyrics to "Dust in the Wind" in pantomime. Socrates is stunned, thinking that the boys agree with what he was saying before they showed up, and says "Of course! Like sands in the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Lives!" He ends up being so amused that B&T are free to gently lead him back to the time machine while he's laughing his head off. | |

In Bean, the foolish Manchild is mistaken for an art professor and forced to make an improvised speech about Whistler's Mother (he's just a security guard and not a particularly competent one at that - the museum board were trying to get rid of him). The speech is very short and lacks any meaningful content but it goes down well with the assembled American guests anyway - presumably they assume the speech to be a stuffy British academic making a dryly comical ribbing at their earlier request to avoid a boring lecture on art history. | |

White Sheep (RWBY): Happens with Jaune a lot, between him having No Social Skills and trying to hide the fact that his mother is an Evil Overlord. Jaune mentions that his mother says "Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet." Ruby finds this cute. Jaune doesn't mention that the full quote is "Strangers are just friends you haven't met yet or people you need to quickly capture and put in the torture chambers until you know them better," and that his mom generally threw them to the Beowolves once she was done with them. When Jaune bumps into Weiss, she admonishes him for bothering his "betters." Jaune says his mom said no one is his better. When Weiss is offended, Pyrrha defends him, saying that his mom obviously meant everyone is equal. Jaune mutters that he's pretty sure that's not what his mom meant. When the girls ask Jaune how his mom rules her "company," Jaune says "fear." When he realizes they're horrified, he backtracks and says she uses love instead. They think he only said fear to shock them and make them more likely to listen to the second part. Jaune says that his mom always told him he could rule the world if he tried—after he conquered the world, of course. Pyrrha thinks this is a cute joke about how you can do anything if you put in the work. The truth is that his mom just wants him to conquer the world. |

Sailor Moon in the third season Usagi is at a waltz where some of Mamoru's college buddies are also, they are native English speakers and studying science so Usagi is panicking about her poor language skills and lack of scientific know how being embarrassing. Whilst practising basic English phrases off in the corner to herself she accidentally picks up a cocktail and downs it thinking it's juice trying to calm her nerves... and ends up utterly plastered from this one drink. She then starts wittering on about "The Pudding of Relativity" during a conversation about the theory or relativity and Mamoru's friends think she's coming at the concept from a fresh and novel angle. | |

Being There revolves around the trope. The main character, a middle-aged gardener named "Chance", who has lived the majority of his life at his employer's estate, has no experience with the outside world aside from what he has seen on television, and who may or may not have some sort of mental deficiency, is always thought of as a genius. Hell, the ending insinuates that some people want him to become the president. For example, when asked about the economy, he simply talks about the seasons in relation to his gardening experience. This is immediately inferred as some sort of profound understanding of the global economy. The best part is that he has no idea why any of this is happening. He's just a polite man making small talk. | |

In the South Park episode "The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs", the boys are excited to read The Catcher in the Rye after hearing it used to be banned, but are left disappointed when they don't find the book very controversial or offensive at all. So they decide to write their own book, one that deserves to be banned, intentionally crafted to be the most disgusting and most offensive piece of literature ever written. It's so disgusting that when the adults read it, none of them can make it through a single sentence without violently puking their guts out. However, the adults all have the mindset that Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory, and misinterpret all of the disgusting imagery as extremely profound symbolism (that just so happens to align with their own political views), and the book is regarded as the most brilliant piece of literature ever written. | |

A large part of The City & the City revolves around the mystery of 'Orciny', the rumored third city that is manipulating everything from behind the scenes. When Borlú finds Mahalia's copy of Between the City and the City, he tries hard to decipher what all the notes she has scribbled in the margins mean. Particularly as they become more frantic and the handwriting is almost visibly angry/frightened. It is only at the end that he realizes that Mahalia has not been discovering the hidden history of Orciny or the way it controls the cities, but instead that she has discovered that there isn't an Ancient Conspiracy. Her notes are just academic references to the other scholars that have already researched and published refutations of the book. | |
