| Worrying for the Wrong Reason | comment |
One character expresses some concern about a situation. Another character corrects them, telling them what they should really be worried about. Not to be confused with Skewed Priorities, which is about being disproportionately concerned over something comparatively trivial, or with It's All About Me, which is about putting one's own interests ahead of everyone else's. This trope is about a character who has a legitimate fear that is then replaced with another, legitimate fear. A subtrope of Right for the Wrong Reasons, and related to False Reassurance. See also Morton's Fork and Assurance Backfire. |

Recurring joke in Brewster Rockit: Space Guy!. "[Planet Name Here]... Isn't that the planet with the giant poisonous snakes?" "Good heavens, no. Those were all wiped out by the giant poisonous tarantulas." | |

The Killing Joke ends with the Joker telling Batman a joke based around this trope: Two crazy guys break out of a Bedlam House and plan to escape by jumping to the roof a nearby building. One makes the jump, but the other fears that he'll fall. The first man tries to help by shining a flashlight across the gap and telling his friend use the beam of light as a bridge. The second man responds "What do think I am? Crazy? You'd turn it off when I was halfway across!". The entire joke is clearly a metaphor on Joker's part for his relationship with Batman; Batman is insane but somewhat functional and tries futilely to help people like Joker who cannot safely function in society. | |

Discworld: In The Last Continent, there are very few poisonous snakes in XXXX... because most of them have been eaten by the spiders. In Going Postal, Moist is relieved to hear that a dangerous pass has very little bandit activity nowadays. Then he's told that isn't good news because "We still don't know what killed them". Making Money introduces the drink Splot, a sort of Klatchian Coffee. People are often reassured when they hear Splot is nonalchoholic...until they're told it's because "alcohol wouldn't survive." |

Deliberately invoked by the supervillain Phanthro in Relativity to taunt the heroes: He has them trapped in an abandoned coal mine, with a (sort of) nuclear reactor in an adjacent room which will eventually explode and destroy the city. But they don't need to worry about that — the reactor is generating intense heat and they'll burn to death long before the explosion. | |

The Practice: One of the clients of the week was a thief that had accidentally committed a murder while mugging someone. That "someone" happened to be a Jewish rabbi, and the comedic Running Gag of this plot (such as it was) was that the thief was much more concerned about being tried for a hate crime (and thus being labeled a racist by the media) than the actual "murder" part of the accusing. | |

After Apophis' throne world is attacked in The (Questionable) Burdens of Leadership of a Troll Emperor, his son Klorel is warned by the Jaffa that he has to leave immediately as he's in danger. Klorel believes it's because his father is finished politically after the attack, his failure to destroy Earth, and the failed invasion of the Celestial Empire. The real danger is that the millions of human slaves on the planet witnessed thousands of Goa'uld deaths and realized they're not gods, inciting them to rebel en masse. | |

Rise of the Elgen: During the trip to infiltrate the Peruvian compound, Zeus refuses to get on a boat, telling their guide that if he fell into the water, his electrical powers would kill him. The man starts laughing, making Zeus angry, but then explains his outburst: he's not making light of what Zeus said, but this is the Amazon. If he fell in the water, caimans, anacondas, or piranhas would kill him even if the electricity didn't. | |

When the Animorphs find themselves on a cliff on the meteor-wrecked Hork-Bajir planet, they notice the planet's molten core far below them. One character worries about the possibility of falling into the magma. Ax says that this won't happen — if they fell, they'd be vaporized by the heat long before they reached it. Similarly, when Ax tells the group about how their excess mass is extruded out into Zero-Space when they morph something small, they begin to worry about the possibility that a ship passing through Z-Space might splatter their mass across its hull. Ax reassures them that such a thing would be impossible- their mass would be disintegrated by the ship's shields first. | |

One of these occurs in The West Wing in the episode "The Fall's Gonna Kill You". It takes place during the arc about President Bartlett having to reveal to the public that he has MS, which the staff has been frantically preparing for. In order to gauge reaction, they put out a poll asking the people of Michigan how they would feel if they found out their governor had concealed a similar disease. The Title Drop comes in when Josh mentions to C.J. that Bartlett and Leo are worried that if anyone learns about this, it'll look like Bartlett only told the truth because a poll told him to. C.J. finds this hilarious at the end of a long day. | |
