Someone says something seemingly out of the blue, causing just enough pause to allow the statement to be true (if it isn't true already; if it's not true, it's gonna be true very soon). There are three types to this trope: When a character announces something he is about to do, much to the surprise of everyone else. Very often, it's a very indirect, off-hand remark, an unnatural segue in the conversation. Bonus points if the confusing line is also mumbled. Example:note Edited for space. This might also happen when the person says something, realizes afterwards it isn't true, and then makes steps to fix it: A character pulls a weapon or insult on another character. The attacked shrugs it off, quips something like "How will you do that with a broken sword?" and promptly snaps the sword in half. Specific subtrope: Character is pulled over by a sheriff: The trope is not used in a confrontation, but as a backhanded joke where perhaps the joker was confused, or hiding something a bit. Contrast Instantly Proven Wrong.

Discworld In Moving Pictures Silverfish offers Victor Tugelbend a job in moving pictures after he saves him from muggers, but when Victor arrives at the studio, he tries to get out of it. Used as a Noodle Incident in another Discworld novel. According to Sam Vimes, Nobby's way of informing the family of murder victims is something along the lines of "I'll bet you a dollar you're the widow Johnson." In Pyramids, Pteppic is trying to buy a camel but has no money. Used as a Brick Joke in Small Gods. A footnote refers to a religious leader who was regarded as a prophet because he correctly predicted that his group would be victorious in battle- while they were clearly winning said battle. Later, Brutha issues the same kind of technical prophecy when he sees a tortoise plummeting toward Vorbis' head and informs him that he's about to die. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Daredevil (2015): In "Condemned", a crooked NYPD Emergency Service Unit team working for Wilson Fisk storms an abandoned building where Matt Murdock is holed up with Vladimir Ranskahov and a rookie police officer who stumbled upon him. One group of four ESU officers sweeping the second floor comes upon the rookie cop, tied to a column and gagged with duct tape. Iron Fist (2017): Danny Rand has been brought before the board to deliver a statement regarding his actions, when he was caught on camera apologizing to the mother of a plaintiff in a lawsuit against one of Rand's Staten Island chemical plants. Danny announces that he's shutting down the plant until a proper investigation can be done, but keeping the workers on payroll. Which earns disapproval from the other board members, who are intent on dragging their feet and keeping the plant open: |

Iron Fist (2017): Danny Rand has been brought before the board to deliver a statement regarding his actions, when he was caught on camera apologizing to the mother of a plaintiff in a lawsuit against one of Rand's Staten Island chemical plants. Danny announces that he's shutting down the plant until a proper investigation can be done, but keeping the workers on payroll. Which earns disapproval from the other board members, who are intent on dragging their feet and keeping the plant open: | |

The original run of Knight Rider subverts a Type 2a: corrupt cop pulls over Michael and tries to bring him to his corrupt judge boss on charges of having a broken tail light. KITT's tail lights are just as armored as the rest of him. Played straight in another episode where Michael's boss Devon Miles is pulled over in his Mercedes by a hick sheriff and his deputy for running a concealed stop sign and the deputy promptly busts one of his tail lights to add to the ticket. |

This style of attack is how Brook from One Piece got the nickname "The Humming Swordsman". He tends to make quips along the lines of "Sorry for defeating you", and then hums as he sheaths his sword. It is not until the sword is sheathed that the opponent realizes they have already been defeated. | |

In "Death in Heaven", Missy tells Osgood she will kill her in a minute. And she does too, even counting down the time For the Evulz.

Person of Interest. In the pilot episode, John Reese is being taken off to be killed by Dirty Cop Fusco. Reese not only tells Fusco he's going to escape, but that Fusco will be working for him from now on. Fusco bursts out laughing...until Reese produces a grenade. In "Lady Killer", Root spells out to a psychiatrist exactly how she's going to escape from the mental hospital. And then does so. When about to make her own escape in "Reassortment", Sameen Shaw tells a prison nurse, "It's not like I'm gonna spill a glass of water on the nightstand, stomp on your foot, throw an elbow to your chin, and stick you with that sedative." She takes down the nurse, then realises the glass of water is undisturbed so knocks it to the floor as well. |

Criminal Minds: In one episode, after the chief of police realizes one of her officers is the serial killer they're hunting, he kills her and frames the leader of a local gang. He and another officer go to arrest the leader, whereupon the unsub unceremoniously kills him too. As the innocent officer protests and demands to know why he did it, the unsub explains that he had to do it, since the gang leader "killed two cops." He then promptly shoots the other officer. | |

In The Stainless Steel Rat for President, Jim DiGriz is gambling with several card sharps who initially mistake him for a naive offworld tourist. However when he goes to his bag for more money they draw guns on him, having now become convinced he's an agent of the Secret Police going for a hidden weapon. Given that he's a card sharp himself, DiGriz explains that he was actually going to clean them out, then demonstrates. And then shoots them with a hidden weapon while they're gaping at his hand. | |

In an episode of Oz Clayton Hughes walks up to undercover cop Johnny Basil while he's lifting weights and says, "Your son, do you think he's gonna be okay growing up without a father?" When a nonplussed Basil replies "What?" Hughes stabs him to death. | |

The Dead Pool has this during the Chinatown restaurant robbery scene: Callahan gets two mafia mooks to back off by asking a woman to call for an ambulance, describing the mooks and listing their potential injuries. The same tactic is used in the 1972 movie The New Centurions to make a Scary Black Man come along quietly — he regards it as Actually Pretty Funny when he realises the cops never called for the ambulance. |

On the Crimson Flower route of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, the leader of "those who slither in the dark" arrives after the Black Eagle Strike Force captures a strategic Kingdom fortress. When he learns that one of his generals (Edelgard's real target, though she half-heartedly tries to convince him it was a sad case of mis-identification in the chaos of battle and the like) was killed in the raid, he warns that such rash decisions would imperil the future of her unified Empire, sarcastically praying that it doesn't turn into "another Arianrhod". Just a few moments after he says this, his forces destroy the fortress she just captured, killing everyone inside, including a significant number of Imperial troops. | |

Family Guy: In the episode "Road to Rhode Island": In "Cool Hand Peter", a Southern sheriff breaks the guys' headlight. Later, Joe returns the favor to him. Deconstructed in the episode, "Brian's a Bad Father": In one scene, Meg asks a boy out on a date while they're in shop class. He says, "Sorry, but I'll be in the hospital" and then shoots himself with his nail gun. |
