As we all know, a work's title doesn't always give a reliable indication of its contents. In some works which try to make a point, the title deliberately and sarcastically contradicts the work's message. Often, the title will be (part of) a statement by a character who is clearly shown to be wrong (from the creator's perspective, that is — not necessarily from the audience's). Done well, this serves to ram the point home in a brutal yet funny way (thus making it a lot more likely that the audience will pay attention to, and remember the message); done poorly, it will only confuse the audience. For some reason, this crops up particularly often in Protest Songs, in which it may well overlap with Hail to the Thief. Compare Ironic Episode Title (when the contrast between title and content is one of mood rather than message), Isn't It Ironic? (with which this trope often overlaps), and Deceptively Silly Title. |

In-universe example from The Simpsons, parodying the use of this trope in independent cinema, comes when Marge attends the Sundance Film Festival. She walks into films called Regularsville and Candyland, expecting feel-good entertainment, and is horrified to find out they are about crossdressers and drug addicts, respectively. She deducts that every movie in the festival is like that, and walks into Chernobyl Graveyard expecting to love it. She doesn't. | |

The Marshall Mathers LP is almost entirely dedicated to Slim Shady. The few appearances of Marshall Mathers on the record fictionalise him as (at best) an insensitive idiot unintentionally responsible for murder, and in other songs as an abusive psycho — in short, indistinguishable from Slim Shady. Is Marshall Mathers the real Slim Shady? ...Well, he doesn't seem to be standing up on the cover, so it's probably sarcasm. Toying with the moral panic about Eminem's lyrics and the fact that critics took his Slim Shady Villain Protagonist character literally. Probably. By extension, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is also this, being largely about Eminem and Shady and (by Word of God) not even being a sequel to The Marshall Mathers LP but a 'revisitation'. The album opening track, "Bad Guy", even has a character mocking the idea of making a sequel to The Marshall Mathers LP "just to get people to buy". |

The titular characters in Ruthless People are not ruthless at all: even when they kidnap Barbara, it's because her husband copied their business idea and made a fortune out of it, and they only want ransom money and never actually intend to hurt anyone. Rather, the title comes from their attempts to be ruthless, which fail because they're genuinely kind and decent people. | |

Heroic Times:note (the original title, Daliás idők can also be translated as chivalrous, valiant, noble or manly times) The title is about the chivalry of medieval knighthood that the unnamed main character wants to be part of. The actual story briefly portrays knights as noble and heroic, but then the title is quickly deconstructed, showing the debauchery of the royal court, the horrors of war and the unwelcoming, flippant nature of society as our hero gets increasingly disillusioned and realizes "heroic times" only ever existed in his fantasies. | |

The 1988 documentary The Thin Blue Line is titled after the iconographic motif representing law enforcement as the sole barrier between peace and chaos in society. The film itself is about a miscarriage of justice in which a man was convicted of a murder that he didn't commit, with director Errol Morris using it as an attempt to obtain sufficient evidence for an overturning. | |

"Für meine Fans" by Knorkator. The title means 'for my fans' in German, implying that the work is meant as a tribute to the band's fans; however, the chorus starts with Ich schäme mich für meine Fans - 'I am ashamed of my fans'. The song is one big long Take That, Audience! | |

TV Tropes: The Just Friends trope is all about characters who, in one way or another, are anything but. With Catlike Tread is about failing at stealth. The Ordinary High-School Student is a character who gets put through just about everything except going to school and doing their work, and even that's variable. It Will Never Catch On is when it does, in fact, catch on. Its sister trope This Is Going to Be Huge is when the thing never goes huge. |

The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious: The title of the series is based on how the POV character, Rista, perceives the hero, Seiya, as being far more cautious than common sense would dictate. However, most of Seiya's worries and countermeasures turn out to be justified when the demons keep using increasingly ruthless and cunning tactics that would have killed a less prepared hero, making him sufficiently cautious rather than overly cautious. | |

The Princess Bride: The title is precisely what Buttercup doesn't want to be, since her betrothed Prince Humperdinck is the Big Bad and her True Love is poor farmhand-turned-pirate Westley. The plot turns on the heroes saving her from becoming the princess bride. | |

Some Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne videos, such as this one, are titled "Skill Issue," or something along those lines. They often consist of the player being caught in an ambush and being wiped out before they can even get a turn, often as a result of the enemy getting lucky critical hits and/or focusing on the Demi-Fiend. | |

The opera La Traviata, which translates as "The Woman Gone Astray," "The Fallen Woman" or "The Corrupted Woman." It highlights the High-Class Call Girl heroine Violetta's status as Defiled Forever. The plot revolves around Violetta proving herself to be a person of outstandingly noble, selfless character and deep love, yet doomed to misery because her society unfairly judges her as a "traviata." | |
