Reverse Psychology	comment	Don't read this article. Fine, don't take our advice. Alice is told to do/not to do something by Bob and then she does the opposite simply because it is the opposite of what she was told to do/not do. This is what she was expected to do in the first place. Bob used Reverse Psychology to trick her. Any character who is told not to go in the basement, stay away from the woods, get out now, etc. will do the opposite, thus playing right into the hands of the very person who told them what to do/not do. This trope heavily relies on using the pride, perversity, or curiosity of someone else to manipulate them. It's useful as the central tool in a Batman Gambit since you need to make your pawns feel like they are making their own decisions. Sometimes this can overlap with Do Not Do This Cool Thing, by making the forbidden attractive just because it is forbidden. Super-Trope to: Briar Patching Duck Season, Rabbit Season Fence Painting Forbidden Fruit Schmuck Bait Our Product Sucks There's a standard sitcom plot where one party (usually the parents) attempts to dissuade or encourage another party (usually the kids) by, naturally, doing the opposite. Often begins with one parent reading a child psychology book and going "Hmmm..." Usually involves second party figuring it out, and either doing exactly what they're told, or pretending to "fall" for it and being totally obnoxious in the other direction. It's a Sub-Trope of Batman Gambit. Compare Thought-Aversion Failure (telling someone not to think about something will lead to them thinking about that very thing — involuntarily). Compare Too Dumb to Live and Genre Blindness. It's worth comparing to Could Say It, But.... Do not, under any circumstances, take this trope to an extreme, as it may approach Mind Screw and I Know You Know I Know. Compare Motivational Lie. When this doesn't work out, that's Reverse Psychology Backfire.

Subverted, because it's really a Kansas City Shuffle: once Quant thinks he's figured out that Khun is trying to make him jump even though Anaak isn't really down there, that's when he falls into the real trap.

The girls realize that this is a golden opportunity to get rid of him (since a restraining order works both ways, and the only reason she can't file one is because of his diplomatic immunity), and get ready to force the issue by Sarah putting on a revealing outfit and glomping Jareth while Christine gets the spectacle on tape.

In the forest, when King Smurf has his expedition of loyal Smurfs look for the rebel Smurfs' hidden base, he soon sees a sign that says "The rebel base is not this way". Thinking that the sign is actually pointing them in the direction of the base, King Smurf leads his expedition in that direction, even with more signs trying to dissuade its followers from going any further. Then they come across the sign that says "Whatever you do, don't look up!" King Smurf and his expedition look up and soon find themselves falling into a pond where they see a sign that says "We warned you! Ha ha ha ha!" Before that, King Smurf prior to his being King Smurf tries to get Dimwitty Smurf to vote for him by telling him to vote for Brainy, since he knows that Dimwitty will do the exact opposite of what he's told to do. However, Dimwitty surprisingly still votes for Brainy.

Reverse Psychology / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons pokes fun at this kind of reverse psychology several times: In "Saturdays of Thunder": In "Bart's Inner Child", Bart encourages Homer to do this to get rid of the faulty trampoline Homer got from Krusty. He has Homer tie it up with a chain and bike lock, and within seconds Snake is taking a set of bolt cutters to the chain. In "Grade School Confidential", Chief Wiggum tries his hand when trying to persuade Bart, Skinner and Krabbappel, who have barricaded themselves in the school, to surrender themselves ("Fine, stay in the school! We don't want you to come out!"). It doesn't work ("Okay!"). In "Lisa's First Word": After an unsuccessful attempt to physically pull toddler Bart away from his crib, Homer tries the psychological route ("Ok, Marge, let's leave the little baby with his crib."); moments later, when he and Marge have walked away and Bart hasn't budged, he tries to pull Bart away from the crib again. In "The Lastest Gun In The West", When retired cowboy actor Buck McCoy, upon being wheedled to reprise his role, tells Bart and Lisa, "The last city-slickers to use reverse psychology on me are pushing up daisies!" ("They're dead?" "No, they just got really lousy jobs...") In "Sweets and Sour Marge", Homer tries to use reverse psychology on a toucan. It doesn't work, for precisely the same reasons that it wouldn't work on the toucans in the real world. In "Marge on the Lam": In another episode, Bart will be sent to a summer camp, but doesn't want to go, so he figures if he pretends to be interested but asks that Homer be the one to drive him there, Homer will find an excuse not to, while Homer, not wanting to drive him there, figures he can feign interest in it and Bart will find a reason not to go. The end result is that both accept to go to that camp.

She ensures Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax go on a quest with Magrat by adding "Tell those two Old Biddies to keep their noses out of this" to her will. In Interesting Times, Rincewind makes use of his vast knowledge of cowardice by informing enemy soldiers that Cohen the Barbarian is not backed up by 2,300,009 invisible vampire ghosts. In Carpe Jugulum, the vampire Count Magpyr's forbidding castle is named... wait for it... Don'tGoNearThe Castle. It works great, too — they were always crawling with guests, according to Igor. On the way to confront the Magpyrs the witches find the route is regularly marked by signs of this nature ("Last Chance Not to Go Near the Castle!"). In Men at Arms Vetinari wants Vimes to investigate the theft from the Assassins' Guild because he knows that the Assassins won't be able to do it, but he also knows that if he just tells Vimes to do it, he'll upset the Assassins. So he tells Vimes not to do it, which does work for a while. Unfortunately he runs into a Reverse Psychology Backfire when he goes as far as telling Vimes to Turn in Your Badge, and Vimes almost doesn't get back into the case in time. In Hogfather, Death informs his granddaughter Susan that he is standing in for the missing Hogfather, and advises that she should not get involved. Naturally she gets involved. Death knows his granddaughter well. In Thief of Time, when the History Monks learn the glass clock is being built again, Lobsang begs the senior monks to let him go to Uberwald and put a stop to it, rather than sending the ninjas. When he's strictly forbidden from going to Uberwald, he says that in that case, could he simply take his novice to Ankh-Morpork to learn the Way of Mrs Cosmpoplite? Nobody (except the Abbot, who goes along with it) notices that Lobsang's the one who convinced everyone the clock is in Uberwald, and not Ankh-Morpork.

Yuubiseiakikana's mother is Yuubiseiharukana, and she both knows for a fact that her father is dead and that telling her daughter not to bother investigating is the perfect way to get her to go to LeMU. Who would know better than her how to motivate herself?

Wolfe sends Archie to collect evidence on the murder of a bureaucrat at an industry function, and make waves doing it, without revealing who his client is. He doesn't have one. When an executive from the trade organization calls Wolfe, Wolfe initially refuses to meet with him and, once meeting face to face, discourages the executive from hiring him. All of this obscures the fact that Wolfe is short on money to pay the bills and needs a fee badly.

Reverse Psychology / int_5755b96a	comment	The Order of the Stick: Xykon uses it early in the comic, to lure the adventurers into touching Dorukan's Gate. And it works. Roy manages to convince his father to help scrying the mortal realm from the afterlife... by refusing to beg him or even to get angry about his unwillingness. Eugene even calls it "reverse psychology" at one point... but he still falls for it. It's unintentional on Roy's part; he really no longer wanted his dad's help at that point. It's absolutely brilliant, too. Only a minute or two after Eugene tells Roy to screw off and go back the mountain to cry to his mother, he's scrying for him. In "Bird Brained", Blackwing, Vaarsuvius's familiar, deduces that his own advice is important, since Qarr offers to stop Zz'dtri from killing Vaarsuvius if Blackwing lets the imp kill him. In "Credits and Deductions", V inverts it, deducing from Qarr's words what he wants, and then doing the opposite. In "Touch My Sigil", during the Linear Guild's first appearance, they're trying to get a powerful talisman, but the three sigils that open the room it's in can only be activated by good characters. With the Order mostly believing they're another band of heroes, Nale offers to let Elan activate their sigil, and gives Roy a note that suggests he should do so rather than Thog without explaining why. But because Haley is, as always, suspicious, Sabine has a note that says not to let Haley activate it, which she "accidentally" lets Haley see.

He even goes so far as to point out that you dying now would be his "just desserts", as he would be properly furious that he'd gone to all the trouble to set up his deadly lair only to have you die anticlimactically twenty feet from the door. In fact, he does want you dead by any means possible, but by this point he's so frustrated with your ability to survive his Death Traps that he'll try anything. For bonus laughs, he is very pleasantly surprised if you actually take him up on the offer. It's not the first time he tries that either. After his first outright assassination, if you come back to the area, he tries to get you to jump into a pit with suitably ridiculous "incentives" including your parents, a boy band, and a pony.

Roo thinks it's fun at first, but soon begins to think otherwise when he can't find anything in his messy room, then pays a visit to Piglet's place, which is always kept perfectly tidy. After this, and some help from the gang to clean his room, Roo even promises Kanga that he'll be more diligent about helping her to clean the entire house.

His partner on the outside, Colonel Mortimer, tells him to advise the gang to flee north since there's a good place for an ambush, and the two can catch the gang in a cross-fire. However, Eastwood wants all the money for himself and advises the gang to go south, pointing out that north would be a good place for an ambush. But Indio doesn't know Eastwood very well and suspects it may be a trap. So he splits the difference and heads east. When they get there, Eastwood finds Mortimer waiting for him, explaining that he knew Eastwood would do the exact opposite of what he said and also knew that Indio is suspicious of betrayal. Since they couldn't go west, as that's where they pulled off their heist, east was the only place they could run.

Reverse Psychology / int_ef9ba9b4	comment	In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine is a master at making the Jedi do what he wants them to do. When he makes Anakin his representative on the Council, they grudgingly allow it but refuse to promote him to the rank of Master, thus getting him pissed off at them and making him easier to corrupt. Later, when Palpatine directs the Jedi to send Anakin to kill General Grievous, they send Obi-Wan instead, meaning that he's not on Coruscant to prevent Anakin from succumbing to Palpatine's influence and falling to The Dark Side.

She emphatically tells him to never, ever, do this, at risk of execution. Because she trusts him not to even think about trying it. Three guesses as to what dear Baph chooses to do with this information. Though in the end, he can't actually go through with it. Unfortunately, having publicly attacked two gods already, it makes him a very easy Fall Guy when gods do start turning up dead. This is implied have been her plan from the beginning.
