A classic gag. Alice tells Bob some news, which he interprets in a wrong (and hilarious) way. She tries to explain and correct his mistake, but he applies his misinterpretation to the explanation as well. Bob is usually portrayed to be somewhat dim-witted, but a variant of this trope has him do it on purpose, just to screw with Alice or as a form of Obfuscating Stupidity. Sometimes done with Ambiguous Syntax. Related to One Side of the Story, Boke and Tsukkomi Routine, Chain of Corrections, Comically Missing the Point, Theory Tunnelvision, They Just Dont Get It and Who's on First?. Compare One Dialogue, Two Conversations, where everybody is misunderstanding the point. |

In the Ranma ½/Neon Genesis Evangelion story Teineina Tenshi No Teze, Ranma is undergoing the Marduk exams and is asked about any medical conditions he has by Ritsuko. When he tells her about his curse, this, his improvised clothing made from modifying Rei’s clothing, and his indignation during the physical leads her to believe he’s a crossdresser. This misunderstanding seems to continue through the story as Ritsuko’s report is submitted and filters through NERV’s personnel. | |

The Simpsons: The page quote comes from a scene in "The Front" when Homer is required to take a science class. In "Funeral for a Fiend", Sideshow Bob lures the Simpsons into his latest deathtrap by operating a fake steakhouse restaurant and dressing as the "owner" Wes Doobner. Even after he reveals himself, Homer is still none the wiser. In "Marge vs. the Monorail", Marge speaks to Homer, who is on a runaway monorail, and brings a scientist from North Haverbrook up to help him shut it down. In "The Greatest Story Ever D'ohed", when an outraged Ned catches Homer sleeping on Jesus' tomb in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. |

In the Cool Kids Table game Creepy Town, Veronica suggests making fake dead bodies by stuffing garbage bags full of leaves. Oliver takes this as her killing people and stuffing their bodies in bags. He's just messing with her, though. In The Fallen Gods, Alan describes Mina transforming a wooden spoon into a dowsing rod as it heating up and becoming covered in veins of mystical ore. The party interpreted it as becoming warm, fleshy, and veiny, and even after Alan makes it clear that that's not the correct description they still claim that it very much feels like a penis. |

One of the Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth covers Gandalf's efforts to convince Thorin and his dwarves that Bilbo the Hobbit would make a good addition to the company. The dwarves scoff, believing hobbits to be timid bumpkins, so Gandalf assures them that Bilbo is quite a prosperous hobbit. The dwarves take this to mean that Bilbo is a professional thief (how else could a non-dwarf be prosperous). Gandalf tries to correct them and says that they'll have to press Bilbo into adventuring, which they understand as Bilbo setting a high price for his services. At this point, Gandalf throws his hands in the air and agrees because it's the only way forward. | |

As J.D. continues to deny taking anything, The Janitor tells him he'll leave his cart unattended and if 'it' should reappear on the cart, no further questions will be asked. J.D. tells him he doesn't even know what 'it' is, to which The Janitor replies, "Then why take it?" | |

In the Letters Page, the lore podcast for Sentinels of the Multiverse, the hosts read out a letter about the proper pronunciation of the Bowie knife, which is named after James Bowie (pronounced Boo-ee) as opposed to David Bowie (Bow-ee). This leads to a lengthy gag where Christopher pretends to think that James Bow-ee named it after David Boo-ee, a pop star that he knew about because he could see the future. | |

Kitboga is a scambaiter popular on YouTube and Twitch. This is the thrust of the gag in the scambaiting call "Do Not Cut The Cards". The scammer, Kristin, at one point tells Kitboga and guest streamer Veritas to go out and buy "four pieces of $500 Best Buy gift cards." This is a fairly common bit of scammer phrasing that arises from the fact that English is not their first language, but rather Hindi. (A native-English speaker would normally just say "four $500 Best Buy gift cards.") Veritas purposefully misunderstands this as cutting up the cards into four pieces and Kitboga's Dawn Dewitt (Granny Edna), supposedly his wife, latches on to this. They then milk the gag for all it's worth, pretending to go to the store and get the gift cards, then tell the scammer that they're cutting them up, that's like an infinite money hack. She goes ballistic, convinced that her payday is being cut up into little pieces. | |

My Love Story!! has this as its reason for why Takeo and Yamato do not start a relationship until Chapter 3. He saved her from a groper and she fell for him, and tries to show her affection by hanging out around him and his friend Suna, and baking them sweets. Takeo is convinced that the sweets are a sign of gratitude, and that she's hanging around them because she's interested in Suna, as a lot of other girls previously did. By Chapter 3, Suna has had enough with their constant bypassing talks, and engineers Yamato to openly admit that she likes Takeo when he's around. | |

After they discovered Pro Wrestling NOAH's roster would be available for Super Card of Honor VII, QT Marshall sent RD Evans to get him a Tag Team partner against Ta'Darius Thomas and ACH. Problem was, Marshall didn't start making requests until after Evans had arrived and everyone he requested, over the phone, was on the New Japan roster, and thus unavailable. Ironically the only wrestler who ended up making it to the event was a New Japan guy. | |

In That Mitchell and Webb Look: One sketch shows a galactic empire utterly obsessed with Vectron, their apparent deity/founder. Eventually, one person asks where all this Vectron stuff came from, because no one had ever mentioned him until about three weeks ago when he came back from a day off sick and found him being invoked with every sentence. After a hesitant reference to ancient scrolls they can't actually remember ever having seen, someone offers another possibility. Another has a man who finally has it explained to him that the man he thought was in love with him for the past forty years is in fact his butler, and the woman he thought was a housemaid is his wife. |

When CSM explains that he's actually been implanted with alien DNA, as has Scully, Fox's reaction is "Scully's a Muppet? Knew it!" And then when Scully explains they need to stop the plague by injecting people with her blood, he concludes "Turning everybody into Muppets!" Scully gives up and agrees with him. | |

In Conquest in the Name of Advancement!, this happens during the Horizon Zero Dawn arc when 2B and 9S meet a group of Tenno - the former two are dumbfounded to meet a group of humans, since the latter are supposed to be on the moon. The Tenno, who ironically come from one of the few settings where such a remark would make sense, state that they were on the moon, but had to leave, referencing the events of The Second Dream from Warframe. This then gets cleared up by Commander Flame, though, due to the apocalyptic event happening around them. | |

Girl Genius: Lars tries to explain to the custodians of the Absurdly Spacious Sewer that normal sewers do not contain giant spiders, sewer serpents, ghouls, albino squid, or giant glowing rats, Their reaction: "So in these other sewers, what do the big monsters eat?" Justified in that Lars is contradicting a lifetime of very justified instincts in an equally justified environment - Sturmhalten Sewer Rats that don't worry about monsters of every shape and size get et. And Lars is in that "abnormal" sewer with them. He realizes this with the very next sentence; As a sign of how messed-up Dr Vanoople's mind is, after his only reaction to seeing Queen Albia in Giant Woman mode is "Hello! You are a very big lady! Where do you buy your shoes?", and she shrinks down to human-size to converse properly, he says "Now we're the same size! I must be a giant too!" He then spends a moment looking at an anthill and saying the people are as small as ants, before noticing Krosp and Agatha again, and asking "Are we all giants now? How is this ecologically sustainable?" |

In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, the player's partner has a small case of this during their first adventure through a Mystery Dungeon, when they hear the boss growl. The partner will at first think that your stomach is growling, but when the boss growls again, the partner will say that it's an unusual sound for a stomach to make. The boss then says that it's not a stomach growling, and your partner will only say how amazing it is that your stomach can even do voices. | |

White Sheep (RWBY): Qrow spends most of the fic under the mistaken impression that Jaune is the son of Qrow's sister Raven, which would be a huge problem because Jaune is dating Raven's daughter Yang. Any attempts to clear this up fail; Raven is tight-lipped in general and certainly not interested in telling her brother anything about her love life, while Jaune doesn't say much about his mother except that she's strong and lives outside the Kingdoms. It gets worse when Qrow tries to sabotage Jaune's relationship with Yang; Yang actually loved the formal date Jaune took her on, but is trying to avoid romance with him because she's afraid she's stealing him from her sister. When Yang confronts Qrow, he thinks she's talking about sabotaging their relationship, she thinks he's talking about encouraging their relationship, and they both leave with no idea why the other cares so much. | |

I Belong to the Baddest Girl at School: The whole series runs on this. Toramaru thinks that she asked Unoki to be her boyfriend near the beginning of the year, and that they've been a couple for a while. Unoki, who has been bullied for all his life and has literally never had a positive relationship with anyone outside of his family, thinks she asked him to be her personal errand boy, not helped by the fact that a lot of what she says can be misinterpretednote Asking him to be her boyfriend by simply saying "Be mine", referring to him as her "thing" and her "property" when she means boyfriend or is an extremely odd thing to saynote Asking him what type of grave he would like (for the two of them), telling him that the reason she made him a lunch box is because she can't let him die yet. Toramaru's self-proclaimed second-in-command, Matsuri, thinks Toramaru wants Unoki to replace her despite him being a wimp. And then there's Yutaka, Matsuri's best friend, who is the only one who realises what's going on. | |

In one Pearls Before Swine anthology, Stephan Pastis wrote that Pig "is rather easy to write for. He just needs to misunderstand everything said to him, and then when it's explained to him, he needs to misunderstand that too." And indeed, it's one of Pig's most common gags.

Dooley asks what kind of perverted exhibitionist would live in a house where anybody could look in at any time. McQueen's attempt to explain that it's a house for plants just results in Dooley becoming convinced that plants are perverted exhibitionists. | |

A staple of the comedy on Green Acres is Oliver's constant inability to get his point across to virtually everyone he speaks to, including his own wife. Especially his own wife. | |

Danganronpa: Yakuza Arc: Natsumi ends up on the wrong end of this when Hajime convinces her to try making friends with Aiko. Since Natsumi has a reputation for picking on others, especially Mahiru and Sato, Aiko mistakes her clumsy overtures for attempting to steal from her, then attempting to flirt. Hajime compares the whole debacle to a train wreck, one which ends with Natsumi fleeing the scene in tears. | |

Makoto's Lies: After seeing Ren out and about the city with Ohya, Makoto firmly believed that he was dating the older woman. In actuality, the two were only pretending to date in order to hide Ohya's investigative efforts from her boss. Makoto doesn't learn the truth until they wind up facing the Shadow of said boss in Mementos. Makoto grows insecure when Ren stops kissing her, as she can't figure out why, but suspects she's not very good at it due to her inexperience. When she finally blurts out her feelings, Ren explains that he was worried she'd feel obligated to consent due to knowing how one of their plans hinges on his temporary death. So he'd tried to avoid putting her in that position by not kissing her anymore. |
