Sometimes, a title makes no sense. Sometimes, however, a title will make a sort of sense, but on later ponderings, will be seen as misleading. Sometimes this is due to the title being an Artifact Title or perhaps the writer simply thought it was a cooler name. It also sometimes leads to instances of I Am Not Shazam. Compare Completely Different Title when it changes the original title to a misleading one. Contrast Exactly What It Says on the Tin. By definition, all examples of "Untitled" Title have inaccurate titles. See also Deceptively Silly Title, Sarcastic Title, Trivial Title, Secondary Character Title. Subverted by Spoiler Title, which is so accurate that it manages to give away important plot points. Inaccurate or misleading titles are an essential part of a Clickbait Gag, which mocks online uses of this trope among other manipulative online tropes. WARNING: Spoilers are afoot. |

No legends are ever awakened throughout Pokémon: Genesect and the Legend Awakened, and Genesect's too ancient and Mewtwo too recent for either of them to have any legends focused on them. Presumably, it refers to Mega Mewtwo Y, but no big deal is made of it in-universe, and the special episode acting as a prequel to this shows that Mewtwo was using it since day one of its life. | |

Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The name makes it pretty clear that it's about a magical girl named Madoka. Except... Madoka does not become a magical girl until the last episode, and even then it's hard to call her a magical girl because she turns into an abstract godlike concept. However, before this happens we do find out that Homura originated from a timeline in which Madoka did become a magical girl earlier on, meaning that Madoka becoming a magical girl did start the plot in a way. The other problem is the "Puella Magi" part, which sounds like a rebranding of "Magical Girl," but the Gratuitous Latin term never appears in-universe—it's only in the title. It does appear once in the sequel movie, as part of the name of a group of magical girls, but neither Madoka nor anyone else is ever referred to as a "Puella Magi." |

Sleepless Domain: Ironically, unlike most cases of schoolkids having nightly superhero adventures, the magical girls of Sleepless Domain attend a special school that starts late in the day so they can get a full eight hours of sleep (from 2 AM to 10 AM). The only chronically "sleepless" character is Rue, who goes to normal school because she doesn't trust the government. The title apparently comes from an in-universe magical girl celebrity magazine, though this never comes up in the story. This page pokes fun at the inconsistency: | |

Dark Angel is likewise not about an angel, neither the regular kind nor a Fallen Angel, but rather a genetically engineered Phlebotinum Rebel whose beauty makes her the figurative "dark angel". And although Max is essentially an uncostumed superhero, she never uses the name Dark Angel or any other hero codename. The name was also likely influenced by Battle Angel Alita, which is known to have been one of James Cameron's inspirations in making the show. | |

MS Paint Adventures is only 3 stories and 1 Orphaned Series and the current one hasn't been an adventure note IE, written by user suggestions in years. And nothing aside from the first panel of the first adventure has been made in MS Paint. Also, Homestuck is only about a kid stuck in his house for about a few dozen pages out of several thousand. Apparently, Andrew Hussie was going to name it Sburb, the name of the game on which the story is based, but thought it was too boring. |

Zero Zero Zero: The miniseries centers on an international shipment of pure cocaine from Mexico to Italy. The phrase "zero zero zero" is never uttered, and its meaning isn't apparent from watching the show. It's the nickname among Italian narcotraffickers for the highest quality of cocaine, referencing the highest grade of pasta flour. | |

Invoked in an episode of Maury entitled "I'm Praying My Brother Isn't My Baby's Father!" The title implies Brother–Sister Incest, but it turns out the woman cheated on her boyfriend with his brother, thus the line is spoken from the boyfriend's perspective. And because this is a daytime talk show, it turned out neither man was the father. | |

Elvis Presley: Arguably the most notorious, yet atrocious concert album in his career is Having Fun with Elvis on Stage, a 35-minute collection of nothing but Elvis cracking jokes with the audience, without any music or context of what is going on. Not only is the record painfully unfunny, but a lot of it also is technically not even a joke, just Elvis saying random things in interaction with his audience. Half of the time he is just rambling, before deciding his jokes are falling flat or his story isn't going anywhere. | |

The Simpsons: In "The PTA Disbands", the PTA most emphatically does not disband (though at one point, a guy mistakenly believes it did, panics and jumps out a window. And jumps back in when informed of his mistake). The episode got its title because writer Jennifer Crittenden thought that that was the worst thing that could happen to a school. In "Bart On The Road", after Bart, Milhouse, and Nelson finish seeing a film named Naked Lunch. "Homer vs. the 18th Amendment": Homer's actual dispute is with a city statute and the 21st Amendment, ending national Prohibition but allowing local jurisdictions to continue to ban alcohol, by proxy. "22 Short Films About Springfield" only has 19 segments (17 if you count Lisa's three segments as one short). TheRealJims, in his 60 Second Review of the episode, resorted to counting two transitional scenes and the show's standard Title Sequence as short films to get up to 22 "without any sort of cheating". "A Milhouse Divided" is about Milhouse's parents separating, but Milhouse himself isn't focused on in the episode. |

There is no "New Generation" in Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation. The film is actually a prequel, as we see the origins of the Care Bears. The only generation the title could refer to is the fact that the Care Bears and their Cousins are all babies and grow up about halfway through the movie, but it's a stretch. | |

The Season 1 finale of Smiling Friends is titled "Charlie Dies and Doesn't Come Back". He comes back. There is also the later episode titled "Smiling Friends go to Brazil" where in the whole episode, the characters are stuck in the Brazilian airport becuase Pim didn’t book a hotel. So they hardly get to experience Brazil at all, and just fly back home. |

Teen Titans Go!: "Serious Business" is about rules on how to use the toilet. "The Return of Slade" is not about Slade at all. Slade is only mentioned at the beginning of the episode, cut away to a non-existing fight with a title card that says "Three episodes and a made-for-TV-movie later" it cuts back to them winning, explaining stuff that would have happened if they showed it. And that was the last time he was mentioned. The rest of the episode is about Cyborg and Beast Boy wanting a clown, which quickly devolves into another one of the show's mean-spirited jabs at its haters. "Batman vs. Teen Titans: Dark Injustice" is the April Fools' Day episode, so of course it's about April Fools' Day pranks, with Batman not appearing to fight the team at any point. "Breakfast Cheese" is not about breakfast or cheese. It's about Starfire trying to get the Titans to be less violent. There's mention of Breakfast Cheese at the end of the very end of the episode by Starfire after she finishes singing but it doesn't even make sense there. |

The "my" in My Little Pony stopped meaning anything the second it made the hop from a toy line to a cartoon; only the first iteration has featured any human characters, and not only were they not the ponies' owners, they didn't even live in the same part of the world. Even before that, it was really only relevant in the sense that the toys themselves belonged to the kids who owned them, which is true of all toys. | |

The Atop the Fourth Wall arc "The Clone Saga", while dealing with copies of Linkara, really doesn't have the clone Linksano made play any role. Its title, as it was during the series's tenth anniversary, is ultimately an homage to the fact the first episode was a review of an issue of the Spider-Man storyline of the same name with the clone having been killed off even before the story began and the copies being Mirrorkara and a Came Back Wrong Mechakara. | |

Makura no Danshi: For a show about sleeping with the audience, not a lot of sleeping occurs. While the first couple of episodes and almost certainly the last one has the viewer going to bed with the episode's focus, others are more of character studies with only the viewer only going to sleep near or after the end of the shorts. One episode has a guy even bring a sleeping bag, at nightfall, and nobody sleeps. | |

For Aqua Teen Hunger Force, the title of the show itself. The show is about a group of Anthropomorphic Food. It has no focus on water, none of the main characters are adolescents (or have any confirmed age). The hunger is only slightly relevant, due to them being food, but the fact that they are edible is rarely brought up. The force part was relevant for the first three episodes as a plot to simply get the show airing, as the actual premise of the show would sound ridiculous otherwise. | |

Fist of the North Star ostensibly refers to the main character, but Kenshiro's martial art is actually named for the Big Dipper, and official sources tend to leave the Japanese name for it ("Hokuto") untranslated. The Big Dipper is a constellation often used to locate Polaris, the North Star, but the star is not a part of the constellation itself (it's in the Little Dipper). A more literal translation of the Japanese title, Hokuto no Ken, would be "Fist of the Big Dipper", but that doesn't sound nearly as cool. "Ken the Great Bear Fist", the localized title suggested by Toei's International Sales & Promotion Department (source), is a bit closer - Ursa Major or the "Great Bear" is another name for the Big Dipper - but also doesn't sound all that great. | |

The Japanese title of the fourth Dragon Ball movie, Dragon Ball Z: Lord Slug, is "Super Saiyajin da Son Gokū" (Super Saiyajin/Saiyan Goku), during which Goku takes a form that was supposed to be a Super Saiyan, but since it was made before the manga reached the point where Goku became one (by only a few weeks, no less), it's not what most people would recognize as such (there's no change in eye or hair color, and it's a completely Unstoppable Rage instead of Tranquil Fury). The form was later retconned by a sidebook to be a "false" Super Saiyan form. | |

This trope has been known to happen to artist/producer duos. One example is "Loggins and Messina". Kenny Loggins (later of Footloose, and Danger Zone fame) originally intended to be a solo artist from the start, but producer Jim Messina contributed so much to what would have been his debut album, that it was called "Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sittin' in". As a result, the act was called "Loggins and Messina" from that point forward until 1976 when they broke up (on good terms). | |

The Rangers already have their powersnote In fact, the members of this team already know they're going to be rangers., and the episode is primarily focused on the Green Samurai Ranger, Mike, who technically could be said to "rejoin" the team in the latter part of the episode. It's all but confirmed that it was supposed to be Episode 3, and the true "first episodes" of Samurai came in the form of Origins Episodes mid-season. | |

The Rick and Morty episode "The Ricklantis Mixup" only features the prologue and epilogue of Rick and Morty's Atlantis adventure. The bulk of the episode is instead a Vignette Episode focusing on the Citadel of Ricks. At the end of the episode, Rick taunts the audience for missing out on the Atlantis plot. The Vat Acid Episode actually subverts this. It starts off by making it look like the whole episode will be about Rick and Morty in a vat of acid. This plot is dropped after a few minutes. At the end however, the vat of acid becomes a Chekhov's Gun meaning the episode really was about the vat of acid after all. |

Played with by the title of the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends episode "Foster's Goes to Europe". Given the way this type of title is typically used, you'd think it's about things the cast do while they're in Europe. It's actually about the trip to Europe, specifically, everyone trying to get ready to leave the house, which in a sense makes it Exactly What It Says on the Tin. And even though most of the cast miss their flight, Madame Foster, who stole their tickets, actually manages to get to Europe. | |

Screen Rant Pitch Meetings isn't an example in and of itself, since it shows the creator's imaginings of the pitch meetings for the films and TV shows it covers, but it does sometimes discuss this trope. In the pitch meeting for Avengers: Age of Ultron, the Producer is surprised to hear that the film takes place over "a couple of days," and asks the Screenwriter if he knows what "age" means. In the pitch meeting for Clash of the Titans (2010), the Producer notices that there are no titans in the movie- just humans, Greek gods and some monsters. |

Each episode of The Cyanide and Happiness Show has a title that's completely unrelated to any of the sketches within it. For example, Episode 2 is called "Why I Hate Summer Camp"; the sketches are a Moby Dick parody, a guy in the bath, and a guy trying to propose to his girlfriend. Summer camp isn't mentioned once. Averted with the depressing episode. | |

Judging by the title, you'd think The Squid and the Whale is an over-the-top, So Bad, It's Good Syfy Original Movie, but it's actually a heartfelt comedy-drama about a couple going through divorce; the title is a reference to the Squid and Whale exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History. | |

How I Became a Pokémon Card does not relate to becoming cards in any way. It's a bunch of Slice of Life one-shots, and the name comes from the manga being drawn by people who draw the Pokémon cards and the fact each chapter comes with a Pokémon card. | |

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. In one scene early on in the "game", John is seen playing air guitar with a plunger while wearing a tie (which, admittedly, his mother expects him to wear despite his insistence that plumbers don't wear ties). The only reason why the game is likely called this is that in the end, Kate says that plumbers don't wear ties when John tells her he's a plumber. | |

The first two Inuyasha movie titles, Affections Touching Across Time and Castle Beyond the Looking Glass, are rather deceptive. Both of those things have a very small role in the movies. This is quite a contrast to most TV episodes, where the plots are often spelled out quite literally in the title. For example, episode 36 is titled "Kagome gets Kidnapped by a Wolf Demon". | |

The Sands of Destruction anime is subtitled Sekai Bokumetsu Rokunin, "The Six People Who are Going to Destroy the World". Well, two of those six are actively working to save the world, and another three don't want to destroy the world; they're just stuck with the one girl who does. But even this one girl spends precious little of her screen time actually trying to destroy the world or figure out how to use the device she believes will do it for her. And the world isn't destroyed in the end, either - even she decides it's not such a bad place after all. | |

The Decline of the West is a non-fiction book by German philosopher Oswald Spengler which inspired many people to grief about the coming end of civilization. Spengler wasn't completely happy with the title (which seemed to imply that the western world had to fall, like the Roman empire) and commented that he could've changed the title to "The fulfillment of the West", which would be closer to his intention - i.e. the west transforming to a stable but stagnant empire in the end. The fact that many fans only knew the title and didn't care to read the book didn't help. | |

Most of books in Space Marine Battles fall under Exactly What It Says on the Tin or even Spoiler Title, but some are pretty non-indicative: In Death of Antagonis, planet Antagonis is blown up one third into the book, and the story itself focuses on rise and fall of Taharan rather than anything connected to Antagonis. In Purging of Kallidus, the eponymous harbor is purged off-screen by PDF Red Shirts, while the heroes go around purging power plants. |

DC Animated Movie Universe: While Justice League vs. Teen Titans does see the two titular teams fight, it's mostly due to the League undergoing Demonic Possession and the film is about the Titans fighting Trigon. Justice League Dark: Apokolips War is a borderline example. The first Justice League Dark movie was about Batman gathering a team of supernatural heroes to take down a demonic threat. In Apokolips War, even though John Constantine and Raven are central characters, the villain Darkseid relies on tech rather than magic. Also, the film is the Series Finale of the entire DC Animated Movie Universe and every hero ever featured in the movies is given screentime (one way or another). So even though Raven and Constantine save the day, it's not really their movie, and there is no specialized team of magic users, leaving it debatable as to whether or not the "Dark" subtitle is warranted. On the other hand, one could argue that this is possibly the darkest movie in the lineup if one wishes to go that route. |

A Clockwork Orange is a Word Salad Title that only makes sense in a variety of metaphorical senses, depending on which of the conflicting stories that Burgess has given to explain it that you believe. Suffice it to say that there are no literal clockwork oranges in the story. | |

Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan: Jason spends most of the movie en route to New York, rather than in the city. Some critics have joked that a more accurate title would be "Jason Takes a Cruise", and it's not hard to see where they're coming from. | |

In the original four The Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies, very few people are killed with a chainsaw. In the original movie, for example, only one character dies by chainsaw- two are killed with a hammer (one of whom is later seen being cut up post-mortem), another ends up suffering an Uncertain Doom when she's left in an icebox, and yet another, one of the villains, is hit by a truck. The Second and Third films continue this trend with few characters meeting their end at the saw but the fourth film turns into an Artifact Title; nobody is killed with a chainsaw. | |

The Princess Bride isn't technically a princess; Buttercup was the daughter of a dairy farmer, but as she was almost inhumanly beautiful, Prince Humperdinck had insisted on her being his bride. His advisors, troubled by the idea of him marrying a non-royal, quietly arranged for her to be known as the Princess of Hammersmith (a tiny portion of the realm) and shipped her off to royalty school for training. (The film version makes no attempt to hide the fact that she was born a commoner.) According to William Goldman, the title came first — he asked his two young daughters what his next story should feature, and one said "princesses" and the other said "brides," so he built the story around the title. |

War of the Gargantuas was originally made to be a loose sequel to Frankenstein Conquers the World but the English version acts more like a standalone film with all references to Frankenstein removed and the monsters dubbed as Gargantuas instead. Additionally, compared to the Japanese title Frankenstein's Monsters: Sanda vs. Gaira, the English title is misleading because, between the titular monsters, Gaira gets the most screen time while Sanda doesn't appear until the midpoint of the film. Besides this, the first fight between them doesn't occur until the last third of the film so the film isn't technically about a war between them. | |

Arthur: Arthur is barely even in the episode "Arthur and the True Francine" (which was adapted from the book The True Francine); he's only in the title because he was in every episode's title back then, and this happened to be the only episode so far that wasn't about him. In "Emily Swallows a Horse", she doesn't; the title comes from a dream she has in the episode, wherupon the Snowball Lie she tells is likened to "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" as both involve Serial Escalation. |

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die contains a list of 1001 movies the author considers must-see movies, with each entry accompanied by a short essay explaining why. Except it's not 1001 movies, it's 1001 entries — Olympia parts 1 and 2 are combined in a single entry, as are the two parts of Ivan the Terrible, the three films in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the four Toy Story films. Moreover, two of the entries are Krzysztof Kieślowski's The Decalogue (a 10-episode miniseries) and Lars von Trier's Riget (an 8-episode, 2-season TV series), aren't movies to begin with. Also, the book is updated annually (and has been since 2003), with the total number of works included numbering 1235 as of the 2020 edition. | |

Haruhi Suzumiya: The "Endless Eight" story arc does, in fact, end. Also, the "eight" refers to the loop taking place in August, not the number of repetitions, which is more like fifteen thousand.

Rashomon is NOT a Mons movie. It's about various people testifying for a murder, each adding different details: a bandit, the victim's wife, the dead man's spirit through a miko, and a woodcutter. The name Rashomon means "city gate" in Japanese, but said murder does not happen anywhere near a city gate. The title refers to the location where the framing device takes place. | |

Steven Universe: "Steven the Sword Fighter", in which Steven never once touches a sword. The closest he gets is imitating a sword move in a movie with a mop handle. Kiki is only seen delivering one pizza in "Kiki's Pizza Delivery Service", with the episode focusing on Steven helping Kiki fight her nightmares caused by doing her sister's delivery route for her. Though with a character named Kiki delivering pizza, the pun on Kiki's Delivery Service was irresistible. "Dewey Wins" is about Beach City's Mayor Dewey running for reelection. Guess how that ends for him. This is seemingly a reference to the famous false "Dewey Defeats Truman" newspaper headline. The show has episodes where the title is technically accurate to what happens but still misleading. For example: "Hit the Diamond" sounds like it's referring to the Diamonds, when it's a Baseball Episode. "Kindergarten Kid" sounds like it's about something being born in the Kindergarten, but it's actually about Peridot trying to catch a Gem monster in the Beta Kindergarten. "Gem Harvest" sounds like it's referencing Peridot's throwaway line where she was worried about being harvested, but it's really a Thanksgiving special. Steven Universe: Future is a reference to the Time Skip past the original series and the movie, and stays its own present for the entire duration. This is explicated by the hook in its theme song, "Here we are in the future". |

Naked Lunch is not about naked people eating lunch. The writer, William S. Burroughs, said that he meant 'naked' more as in 'exposed': "a frozen moment when everyone sees what is on the end of every fork." However, that doesn't happen either in the book - at least not literally. However, being the absolute Mind Screw that the novel is, it would be hard to come up with a more descriptive title for it. | |

Many episode titles in Our Miss Brooks are Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Others are deliberately misleading. For example, "The Hurricane" does not have Miss Brooks and the gang survive a hurricane. Miss Brooks and Harriet mistakenly think there's a hurricane coming when they hear the storm warning on Walter Denton's homemade radio. They fail to listen to the rest of the broadcast, missing the reveal that they were listening to a station broadcasting from Bombay, India. | |

Minuscule episodes usually have titles that are Exactly What It Says on the Tin, but some titles are vaguely related metaphors or complete non-sequiturs: Episodes featuring buzzing insects usually have "ZZZZZ" meshed into their title, but "Zzzepplin" focuses entirely on the spiders. "Go Blue Go" has blue and green dragonflies competing in what can only be described as bug-Quidditch. The blue team loses. One would assume the series' Bizarro Episode "Night of the Mandibles" centered around the cast fighting off an army of undead insects. What they actually face is MUCH worse. Plus the episode takes place almost entirely in broad daylight. |

In Transformers: Prime Beast Hunters: Predacons Rising, the Predacons are very minor side characters who have little to no impact on the overall plot. Technically, some Predacons are risen, however, they are zombies who fight against the real Predacons.

Only three of the twelve episodes of Jurassic Fight Club involve the Jurassic period in any way. Its European-Australian title Dinosaur Secrets is more on point, though two episodes don't feature dinosaurs. The host acknowledged the title's problem, but the final say wasn't his. | |

Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave has absolutely nothing to do with Bruce Lee returning from the dead, outside of a Cold Open where someone is seen leaping out of Bruce Lee's grave. Aside from that, the storyline involves a man named Wong Han investigating the death of his friend at the hands of a drug smuggling ring — with the only other thing to link the film to Lee being lead actor Jun Chong being credited as "Bruce K.L. Lea". | |

Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger: In some markets, this show was localized as Galaxy Rangers, even though the only characters who are outside the Earth are the main villains.note Furthermore, these "Galaxy Rangers" (which is just Toei's suggested international name for the show) are not outer space Texas Rangers who ride robot horses protecting the "last frontier". | |

A Visionaries VHS released in the UK was given the title "The Final Conflict" which appears to suggest that it featured a final showdown between the Spectral Knights and the Darkling Lords. It actually contained the episodes "Honor Among Thieves", "Sorcery Squared" and "Dawn of the Sun Imps", but the only thing "final" about these is that they are the last three episodes in the series. | |

Some of the later Animorphs books got really bad about this. Titles like The Suspicion (where nothing is suspicious), The Prophecy (which features no prophecy), and The Hidden (which features a bizarre morphing buffalo that is definitely not hidden) come to mind. Strangely, these are all books from Cassie's point of view; make of that what you will. There's also the first Megamorphsnote The Megamorphs books were four extra-long installments narrated by all six of the Animorphs in turn, instead of by just one of them. book The Andalite's Gift, which has absolutely nothing to do with the Morphing Cube, the titular gift that the kids receive from the Andalite soldier Elfangor at the start of the series. | |

The Ref. The title implies something sports-related, and the holiday setting suggests something happy, but the movie is about as black a comedy as one will find from mainstream Hollywood. The eponymous character is a cat burglar who kidnaps a dysfunctional married couple in an attempt to evade a manhunt and winds up having to "referee" their bickering while he plots his escape. In retrospect, the title fits, but a first-time viewer would have no idea what to expect. Averted in some countries, where the film went by the more straightforward title "Hostile Hostages" instead. |

Questionable Content It doesn't have much questionable, i.e. risque/pornographic, content. There's a decent quantity of sex jokes — the protagonist's mom is a dominatrix, and his pet robot is a pervert — but there are hardly any sex/nudity scenes (none at all for the first thousand or so comics) and naughty-bits are always kept out of sight. The entire compendium is less questionable than any random Oglaf comic. In an in-universe example, the Show Within a Show "Ass Swordsman Tetsuo", about a guy named Tetsuo who can pull swords out of his ass, goes at least 22 episodes without Tetsuo pulling a single sword out of his ass. Marigold "can't tell if it's a brilliant deconstruction of shonen anime tropes or it's just garbage". |

The Room (2003). Despite the title, the characters are neither trapped in a room nor is there anything particularly strange about their apartment. According to director and star Tommy Wiseau, the title refers to a person's Happy Place, which only makes sense for about three seconds. According to Greg Sestero in The Disaster Artist (Oh hai, Mark), it was supposed to be a play that all takes place in the same room, to save money on sets. He just never changed the title when transitioning to screen. | |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades: The Seven Spellblades are actually a rather minor feature of the setting rather than a major driving force; also, there's initially only six. Newcomers to the series also sometimes have to have it explained to them that the title does not refer to the six main characters, either: their proper collective name is "the Sword Roses" (which is only coined in volume 2), whereas a "spellblade" in the lore of the series is an Unblockable Attack. | |

Saturday Night Live is a downplayed example, since it's mostly live but has included filmed sketches going back to its earliest days (i.e. commercial parodies, animated shorts, and the Digital Shorts), and these often become breakout skits. Also, over half of the episode takes place after midnight on the East Coast and is thus technically aired on Sunday there. A few sketches also have misleading names, such as the "Rosie the Riveter" sketch, which is about the search for the factory woman to serve as the model for the iconic poster. Rosie is there, but most of the focus is on the three crude "slug thumper" women who also work in the factory. | |

TV Tropes itself. The website focuses on storytelling devices rather than figures of speech. If a page is listed in This Index Is Not an Example, you shouldn't take a page title at face value. If it gets so far out of hand that it only confuses tropers and readers, however, this often leads to a rename. The site discusses other media besides television. This very page, if you decide to take the title literally and not trust that it's about misleading titles. Stuffy Old Songs About the Buttocks, which are neither stuffy nor old, and rarely do they make use of the term "buttocks" in full. |

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies is not a campy, counter-culture romp that the title implies. It's a straightforward horror-ish film. The zombies are actually of the traditional "hypnotized" variety and not the undead variety, so they don't "stop living" when they become zombies. | |

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!'s title is a "lie" on many levels: Catarina may have been reborn into the body of the villainess of a game, but the moment that she regains her Past-Life Memories, any sort of villainy becomes an impossibility for her. Despite the statement that "all" of the routes end with doom, there are actually only six of twelve that do.SpoilerBoth of Geordo and Keith's routes end with Catarina's death or exile. Raphael's secret bad end causes everyone in the main cast to die, and the Reverse Harem ending also leads to bad things for Catarina. The routes for Alan and Nicol have nothing to do with Catarina at all, and neither do Raphael's good end or the Friendship route. That means that there's an even six-six split between good endings for Catarina and doom endings, even ignoring said reincarnation's potential to throw things entirely Off the Rails. |

Tamagotchi Video Adventures clearly has the word "Adventures" pluralized in the title, and in the actual program there's a Tamagotchi Toons logo at the beginning - again, with "Toons" pluralized. This implies there's more than one "adventure", but it's only one VHS program. It's thought to be a pilot for a direct-to-video Tamagotchi cartoon that never got greenlit. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Nickelodeon has a bad habit of advertising certain episodes with different titles. One particularly misleading example is "Goons on the Moon" being advertised as a Christmas special called "SpaceBob MerryPants", even though Santa Claus plays a relatively minor role, and the episode doesn't take place during Christmas anyway. "Gary Takes a Bath": The entire episode centers around Gary avoiding taking a bath and SpongeBob going to increasingly elaborate measures to get him to do so. In the end, SpongeBob is the one who takes a bath, and Gary never does. "Shuffleboarding": Despite the title, Shuffleboarding itself is never seen in the episode as SpongeBob and Patrick won the game off-screen in a very short amount of time. The main plot of the episode is SpongeBob and Patrick dressed as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy arresting random people of Bikini Bottom. In "Bossy Boots", the title of the episode can be seen as quite misleading as the conflict/theme was never about Pearl being over-controlling or bossy (she was a reasonable boss) but more on the Krusty Krab undergoing dramatic changes that the employees didn't enjoy. "To Save a Squirrel". The episode is about SpongeBob and Patrick joining Sandy on a wilderness expedition. Based on the title, you'd expect the plot to include them needing to save Sandy from some kind of danger while on the trip. Instead, SpongeBob and Patrick fall off the truck just seconds in. The episode is about them getting stranded in a cave, going insane and trying to eat each other, egged on by a mysterious survivalist who turns out to be Sandy in disguise. |

The Neverending Story ends. Well, the book has a bunch of subplots left with No Ending, apparently to inspire children to become writers by actually encouraging them to write their own fan fiction. It's very meta. Of course, it's technically not possible to have a neverending story even if it has No Ending. It will simply stop eventually. Still, you'd think a book with that name would at least be a Doorstopper. | |

Doctor Who: "The Doctor Dances" could be seen as this. While the Doctor does dance at the end of it, it has nothing to do with the central plot of gas-mask zombies in Blitz-era London. "The Next Doctor" centers around a man who seems to be a future incarnation of the Doctor. It turns out he only thinks he's the Doctor because his brain was scrambled by a Cyberman cartridge carrying information about the Doctor. "Let's Kill Hitler", in which the Nazis and the genocidal dictator himself have little to no influence on the real plot. They either wasted a perfectly good plot or plotted a perfectly good waste, depending on your perspective. "The Bells of Saint John" is just a joke about what medieval monks call the phone incorporated into the TARDIS, which has the "St John Ambulance" logo on it, but is not a plot point. |

But Stainless Steel Rat Slippery Jim Digriz is your mentor. He sends you on the mission and assumes a role not too dissimilar to Al Calavicci. So it's the next best thing to being The Stainless Steel Rat himself. | |

The question of Who Killed Captain Alex? is never answered, and after a very cursory investigation, the issue is dropped entirely from the film, despite Richard's obvious frustration. Even the director doesn't know who killed Captain Alex. Smart money's on this oft- abused rat. | |

Surprisingly few characters are killed in Kill la Kill (unless you count all the cannon fodder that goes flying at every explosion). Of the four characters who die, only Suzuki, the student from the opening scene, is directly killed by another character. Two of the others (the Big Bad and her Dragon) commit suicide and the fourth dies in a Heroic Sacrifice. Most battles are resolved non-lethally with Seni-Soshitsu. This is a pun because in Japanese the "kill" in the title is written and pronounced like "kiru," a verb meaning "to wear [clothes]." | |

Teenage Strangler is a case of Ambiguous Syntax - when it appeared on Mystery Science Theater 3000, the characters even briefly debated whether it referred to a strangler of teenagers or a teenager who strangled people. Ultimately it turns out to be the former, which is the less intuitive interpretation of the title. | |

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993) is not a sequel to Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974), mainly since the films are in two different continuities. The Mechagodzilla in the 1993 movie, therefore, is usually named "Mechagodzilla 2". | |

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are both misleading about their actual central characters. Wonka has a major presence in the former film but Charlie's character arc is ultimately more important to the plot, whereas the latter film focuses on and develops Wonka much more than Charlie. While the original novel was also titled Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was sponsored by a confectionery company with the idea of defictionalizing Wonka candy, so it was decided that Wonka should become the title character for the sake of brand recognition. | |

Warrior Cats usually averts this, generally having titles that are either vaguely ominous (Dark River, Forest of Secrets) or Mad Lib Fantasy Titles](Bluestar's Prophecy, The Last Hope). However, in Cloudstar's Journey, there is no literal journey. Not odd unless you know about the character: he was famous for taking his entire group of cats away from their home and journeying for days to find a new one. You'd think the novella would be about that. You'd think... | |

Green Book: "Green Book" is short for "The Negro Motorist Green Book", a travel safety guide for African-Americans visiting the Deep South on where to find friendly places where they could eat or stay during the period of the film. However, this only gets mentioned briefly in the film, and used once. While the difficulties Don faces as a black person in the South do feature, most of it's not really about that, and this is one source of criticism. | |

The book Of Mice and Men has no mice anywhere in the story. The title is a reference to the old proverb "the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry", referring to how a major running theme in the story is the dream of the protagonists to get enough money for a farm of their own—which, naturally, does not go as they'd hoped. | |

In Family Guy: The episode "Chitty Chitty Death Bang" sounds as though it is about a vintage car, which, like the titular car of Ian Fleming's (1908-1964) book Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (©1964; it was published two months after Fleming's death), can fly through the air and float on the water, and has a mind of its own, and has been programmed for crime by a criminal network, and the Griffins somehow thwart it, getting the criminals arrested in the process, and reprogram the car for good uses. In the original book, the villains, Joe the Monster and his gang, drive a black 1950s Rolls-Royce convertible; the "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" car resembled a green 1920s racing Bentley convertible. Neither title of the two-part episode "Stewie Kills Lois/Lois Kills Stewie" is accurate. In part 1, Stewie appears to kill Lois, but she turns out to be Not Quite Dead. In part 2, Stewie does get killed, but it's Peter who kills him. And to top it all off, both episodes turn out to be a computer simulation. |

Not demonstrated at all by the Japanese characters of the title, reading "Kidou Senkan Nadeshiko", which translates to Mobile Battleship Nadesico.

The 1993 film Rigoletto isn't actually based on the Giuseppe Verdi opera, and they have very few similarities. It's more like a modern reimagining of Beauty and the Beast (with a little bit of The Phantom of the Opera thrown in) set in America during the Great Depression. There isn't even a character named "Rigoletto". | |

Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors: As the title suggests, the game feature nine people that have nine hours to find their way through nine doors. However while they start out with nine people, the ninth member of the party is killed off before the opening cutscene is even over, meaning that the game only has eight participants. And while his bracelet can still work and thus participate, later on it's revealed there's more people stuck with them with their own bracelet, pushing the participant number higher than nine. There are also more than nine doors, with the reveal that the "9" door found is not the true one, and the second one is the one that really leads to the exit. Finally, the True Ending actually lasts longer than the allotted nine hours, with the final puzzle happening as the group tries to escape the apparent sinking. The reveal that there was never any danger of drowning proves that there was actually no time limit at all. | |

Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace provides an English-only example. Its original title, Legend of Ruyi, follows a frequent pattern for titles of Chinese period dramas. Someone somewhere decided a direct translation wasn't good enough, so when choosing the official English title they picked one that's nothing like the original. Worse, it gives the impression this is a cute, romantic series. It isn't. | |

Anyone expecting an actual 'House of Horrors' in Dr. Terror's House of Horrors will be disappointed. Supposedly, the house of horrors refers to Dr. Schreck's Tarot deck, which constructs horrifying futures for people, but this is never explained anywhere in the film. Even the name Dr. Terror is barely justified, with a brief conversation explaining that Dr. Schreck's name would translate into English as Dr. Terror. Nobody ever addresses him as anything other than Dr. Schreck. | |

In The Prayer Warriors, Chapter 10 of The Evil Gods Part 2 is called "Piper and Jerry goes to Washington DC to Find out Who the Tractor is and Defeat them Once and for All so they would not be terrorized by them ever again for as long as God allows Time to go on For." The only thing that happens is the Prayer Warriors going to Washing Dick — I mean, Washington D.C. | |

Old Mortality: The title character appears only once and has nothing to do with the plot. A more accurate title would have been "Henry Morton" (the actual protagonist), "The Covenanters" (the people Henry reluctantly joins), or even "The Battle of Bothwell Bridge" (the defeat that ends the Covenanters' rebellion). | |

Jan Tenner: Episode 38 of Classic is titled "Logars Rache" (engl. "Logar's revenge") — despite Logar himself being a prisoner throughout the vast majority of the episode and his captor Thol being killed before Logar is freed. | |

Happy Heroes: Episode 20 is officially titled "Running Away from Home", but doesn't feature anybody actually running away from home. It's actually about Little M. mistaking Big M. mysteriously disappearing as him leaving Planet Xing for Planet Gray, their home planet. | |

Orphan: First Kill: The film starts after Leena has been instutitionalized in the Saarne for murder, so Leena's first kill isn't depicted in First Kill. Also, in this story, her child grift sees her posing as a missing child with a family rather than an orphan, leaving the franchise title Orphan inaccurate to this story as well, at least until the ending, when both of her "parents" are dead. |

The Last King of Scotland is actually about the Last Dictator of Uganda (and the viewpoint character is a Scottish doctor). Idi Amin did claim to be the King of Scotland among his many other self-applied titles. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation isn't about the original characters' kids, nor is it set one generation into the future. It's actually set a whole century later. It's not even the next ship to be called Enterprise after the one the original crew were last seen using in the movies (the Enterprise-A), with two others coming between that one and this one (the Enterprise-D). | |
