You know how when someone describes something, they actually tell you about the thing itself?
Well, this is not that trope.
Subversion distilled to its purest essence: you directly build up the audience's expectations with an elaborate description of something, then tell them that you're actually talking about something else — often the exact opposite of everything you've just said.
Closely related to Dissimile, where the simile is broken down by successively removing all the crucial elements.
Most often a Comedy Trope, but can be Played for Drama. Compare Analogy Backfire, Bait-and-Switch Comparison, Distinction Without a Difference.

"Wrong Song," one of the numbers in Nashville, addresses a cheating boyfriend and spends the verses describing the sort of forgiving, reconciliatory song he's probably hoping to hear - and then the refrain comes in and says that he's not getting that song, because this song is about what a complete bastard he is!

Hercules opens with Charlton Heston narrating the story in a very grim manner, only for the Muses to appear and tell him to lighten up, that this is not, in fact, "some Greek tragedy." They tell him that they'll take it from there and he agrees, "You go, girls."

Touken Ranbu - Hanamaru starts with an opening monologue about the Touken Danshi, their purpose, and how they need to protect history from demons...until the narrator is interrupted before the narrator can finish, panning over to the peaceful roof of the citadel to establish how Lighter and Softer it is in comparison to the game.

A deleted scene from We Were Soldiers has a group of soldiers chatting about their new Sergeant Major, a mean fellow by the name of Basil Plumley. One of them used to be stationed with Plumley, and tells the others a story related to him: A brand new lieutenant orders all of his men to put all of their ribbons and medals on their uniforms, so he can see what kind of men he is leading. One of his senior NCOs comes out without having done so, and the lieutenant chews him out, without the sergeant visibly reacting. The sergeant goes back to the barracks, and comes out buck naked, save for a pair of boots, his ribbons and medals pinned directly to his chest, and a Medal of Honor. That guy worked for Sergeant Major Plumley, and was scared shitless of him.

Life After People speculates on "what would happen if every human being on Earth disappeared" — how long it would take for the power to go out, buildings to collapse, civilizations to disappear, etc. The one thing the series doesn't speculate about is what happened to the human race to cause it all, which is why this might be the only show whose Opening Narration describes what you are not watching: "This isn't the story of how we might vanish — it is the story of what happens to the world we leave behind."

In the teaser for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, the narrator tells the audience they'll likely want to see a feel-good film that reinforces the value of helping others. "If that's the kind of movie you and your family will be looking for this Christmas, then you won't want to see (scream) '''Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'."

Seraph of the End: Guren and Mahiru fell in love with each other at a young age, yet got violently separated for their unmatching social status — she's from the prestigious Hiiragi family while he's just a member of the branch family Ichinose. Eight years later, they accidentally meet again in the same school, only to have Shinya entered the picture as Mahiru's fiancé, and he does try to earn Mahiru's love, but it's useless because she only loves Guren. You probably expect the guys to fight over her, but well... Mahiru is later on revealed to be involved with the Hyakuya Sect with some rather disturbing actions to harm the world. Guren and Shinya join forces with some others to stop her, and as they do so, Shinya slowly finds himself gradually disliking Mahiru and falling for... Guren. Yeah, he takes interest on the very same guy whom his supposed fiancée loves. As for Guren, although he turns into a Celibate Hero after Mahiru dies and becomes a demon, he doesn't seem too bothered by Shinya's teasing and flirting with him, and in fact, even though he doesn't say it out loud, Shinya is very important to him whether platonic or not.

The one-shot "Power Pachyderms" (no parody of Power Pack, but rather of X-Men) at the beginning has a jaywalking nuke exploding. The exposition first suggests an ACME Radioactive Spider Origin, but then (paraphrasing): "...of course, they were all dead on the spot. This stray wagon with circus elephants somewhat distant from the epicenter, however..."

Phineas and Ferb: In "Oil on Candace", Doofenshmirtz gets a visit from his old Evil Science professor Dr. Gevaarjlik, and tries to impress her with how evil he's become. At the end, Doofenshmirtz is left feeling ashamed by the failure of his evil schemes, but Gevaarjlik tells him "Evil doesn't always have to be on a big scale. You can spread evil in the little things you do everyday". Doofenshmirtz is touched by the thought, until she adds "But sadly, you can't even do that! You're a total failure!"

Fledglings, or: Everything's Better With Penguins: The story opens with a description of how quiet it is in Response Center 8 and how that would usually mean the console would be loudly beeping at the agents to go on a mission. Then the narration states that said scenario is unlikely to happen for the time being due to the console somehow teleporting itself away and the agents being in no hurry to get a replacement.

The protagonist of the first game of The Trapped Trilogy says this when he locks himself in a safe room to escape a gunman, only to realize too late that he left Dialla, the pretty maid that was helping him, behind. He monologues about how in stories the hero saves the girl and lives happily ever after, and that he realizes that he isn't one of those heroes. Hilariously, he says this even as the player can hear Dialla gunned down on the other side of the door. (Yes, later games in the series retconned this, but taken on its own it's still funny.)

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
From the first book:
Subverted a few books later, in So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish. It opens up the same way as Hitchhiker's Guide, then says, "This is her story." Although the readers never do learn what she figured out, which was presumably the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.
There's also a sequence where Arthur asks Ford about how the universe was born, and Ford goes off on a tangent about buying a bathtub, filling it with sand, then watching all the sand drain down while filming it, and then playing the film back in reverse. Which, he adds, is nothing like how the universe was born.
The introduction to Don't Panic, Neil Gaiman's biography of Douglas Adams, riffs on the opening of the first book, starting with the description of the Guide itself from later in that passage, and then saying that this is the story of a different book called The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

Monty Python's Flying Circus:
One of the sketches featured a narrator who would introduce various on-screen characters in detail, only to remark that they were not going to be the protagonist and move on to someone else they run into. This happens several times.
Subversion: The "Science Fiction Sketch" begins by introducing Mr. and Mrs. Brainsample as a "perfectly ordinary couple" and promptly disregards them as being too ordinary to be of interest. Then they reappear at the sketch's climax to help resolve the plot.
"Mount Everest. Aloof, terrifying, the highest mountain in the world. (Camera pulls away from a poster of Everest to show a travel agency's office) No, we don't fly there."
"In 1943 a group of British Army officers, working deep inside enemy lines, carried off one of the most dangerous and heroic raids in the history of warfare. [Beat] But that's as may be. And now..." (segue to the Army Protection Racket sketch)
"...And he's come into the studio tonight to talk about Tchaikovsky, which is a bit of a pity as this is 'Farming Club'." (Subverted in that they end up doing a sketch about Tchaikovsky anyway)
"Mr. Bent is in our Durham studios, which is rather unfortunate as we're all down here in London."

Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny suggests that the supposed Greatest Song in the World is (the D's half of) "Beelzeboss", played during the rock-off against Satan. However, in reality, Satan thought their performance was lame and declared himself the winner of the rock-off, then was defeated through pure dumb luck. Their inability to remember the song and Self-Serving Memory regarding the outcome of the fight in "Tribute" can both be chalked up the fact that immediately after the fight, they both went home and got really high.

Essentially a key factor in Brightburn; while basic descriptions of it would suggest that it is simply a variation on Superman's origin, as an human-looking alien boy comes to Earth in a spaceship and is taken in by a childless couple on a farm, this is swiftly subverted as it becomes clear that the child is either genetically predisposed or being externally programmed to lack any kind of compassion or ability to truly care for humans, lashing out with minimal provocation and brutally murdering even his own parents when they turn against him.

In Season 3 of Legends of Tomorrow, after Rip Hunter forms the Time Bureau, his version of the Couch Gag opening monologue goes like this:
Particularly effective because it's a reversal of the Season 1 opening, in which the Legends were that "elite team".

The opening paragraphs of Terra says that some couples get along perfectly and are always in agreement, but the Bradburys weren't like that. It then says that there are also couples who argue, and make up, and it ultimately brings them closer together, and even when they're arguing you know they love each other beneath it. And the Bradburys aren't like that either.
