When a character describes a supposedly unpleasant situation, but it doesn't seem that bad. When the other characters don't understand what the big deal is, the character begrudgingly blurts out an additional detail, allowing the audience and/or other characters to grasp the gravity of the situation. For example, there's a big difference between your aunt being cut from her position, and her being cut from her position with a machete. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW): In the Fang the Hunter miniseries, Bean the Dynamite has this reaction twice in the span of Issue #2, and are both the first and last bits of dialogue from Bean in the issue. The first time, Bean and Bark are tied up and hanging above a pit of sand, Fang tumbles down after fighting Knuckles, with Bean initially happy to see him, until Fang berates them for getting captured. The second time, Bean, Bark, and Fang seem like they're about to drown, until a claw comes down and saves them both. Bean cheers for them being rescued... until it's revealed that it was Eggman who came to rescue them. |

Zoey 101: Quinn is arguing with her dorm advisor and Zoey and Lola ask her what's wrong. Quinn tells them that the advisor put her in room 36D. They don't see why that's so bad, then Quinn tells them there is no room 36D note It turns out Coco (the advisor) was ordering a bra online and accidentally put its size down as Quinn's room number . | |

The Whiteboard: After Doc repaired a player's thoroughly trashed paintball marker: After one spectacularly well-turned-out match, Bandit told Bruno that he'd run out of propellant, having only gone in with one small tank. Bruno suggested that now was the time to get out another, and Bandit said that he had only brought one 12-gram for the day (usually he doesn't need more) and that he'd had to finish the match using a blowgun. One player suspected that another was shooting hot, because his paintballs really stung and left big welts...even after punching through a metal bunker. |

The Simpsons: In "Midnight Towboy", Flanders comes to Homer to pick up the church bus he towed...with the children still in it! In "Marge In Chains", Lionel Hutz has an Oh, Crap! moment when he finds out which judge their case is to appear before: The "Hungry Are The Damned" segment from the first Treehouse of Horror special does a wildly Zig-Zagging Trope version when Lisa finds an alien cookbook called 'How To Cook Humans'. The alien blows some dust off the show the title 'How to Cook For Humans'. Lisa blows more dust off for 'How to Cook Forty Humans'. The alien finally blows the last bit of dust off to reveal 'How to Cook for Forty Humans'. According to the DVD commentary, Matt Groening wanted a final reveal for the book to be 'How to Cook for Forty Humans and Then Eat Them'. Luckily, he was overruled. In "D'oh-in' In The Wind", Mr. Burns' instructional video featuring Homer doesn't go so well: In the "Treehouse Of Horror XVI" segment "Survival Of The Fattest", Homer turns to cannibalism, eating Professor Frink, after just six hours of being hunted by Mr. Burns. In "Dangerous Curves", Homer is driving with Marge and her sisters, where he argues with them. |

For Better or for Worse: In one comic, Michael tells his half-asleep mother that Elizabeth just went outside with her new umbrella and wearing her new boots, which just gets a series of grunts. Then he adds she's only wearing the boots. Elly runs outside to chase down her daughter while a grinning Michael muses that he likes telling the best part last. Another strip shows Elizabeth retaliating after Michael puts soap on her toothbrush. When she tells him she used his toothbrush, it doesn't faze Michael in the slightest. Then Elizabeth tells him she didn't use it for her teeth, but for Farley's. |

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry ends up in detention with the sadistic Professor Umbridge. When Ron later asks him what his punishment was, he replies he just had to write lines. Ron understandably notes that that wasn't too bad, expecting something worse. What Harry chose to leave out not to worry him or Hermione is that he had to write said lines with a magic quill that uses his blood as ink and carves what he writes onto the back of his hand. He ends up in detention so much that year that the lines he writes eventually permanently scar the back of his hand, on top of bleeding profusely after each detention (which is how Ron finds out the truth, he's suitably horrified). | |

Red Dwarf Rimmer in the episode "Marooned," when he learns Lister lost his virginity at age twelve: When Lister learns the prison satellite will analyze his mind for any crimes he's committed in the episode "Justice," he's worried about going "scrumping" as a kid. Kryten assures him that the satellite will hardly care about stealing apples, and Lister clarifies that he and his mates scrumped cars. He also worries about the time he took stuff from a hotel. Again, Kryten tries to reassure him, but Lister explains it wasn't towels, it was all the furniture. |

In The Lost Fleet, Captain Desjani reassures Captain Geary that even though Admiral Otropa outranks him, there's no chance of him trying to usurp Geary's command of the fleet because no one would accept 'Otropa the Anvil' in his place. Geary comments that 'The Anvil' sounds like a strong nickname, but Desjani tells him that Otropa got it by being beaten so often. | |

In Greasy Space Monkeys, Lieutenant Ash recognizes the monsters that Nathan is describing to the Captain. He says that long ago, his species designed a creature to be a fast, stealthy Living Weapon that could wipe out squads of soldiers effortlessly...and that Nathan has encountered the creatures that ate them. | |

Lucky Number Thirteen has an example Played for Drama rather than comedy. Sharon gives a hypothetical context to Ana when they're talking about the submissive contract. When Sharon brings up that potential Doms and Masters complaining about a person's hard limits is a red flag, Ana questions why (Christian having done the same thing with her). Sharon says the following: "Because if he starts arguing with you and demanding something you don't want over, say, dinner, you can keep saying no. You can get up and walk away [...] You can't do that when you're gagged and bound to a table." As it turns out this is pretty much exactly what happened to Sharon when she was with Christian. | |

Kingdom Hearts has a very dark version of this. A minor plot throughout the game is the pursuit of the Ansem Report, written by a man who was studying The Heartless. Across the game, Sora and his friends gradually collect the odd-numbered Reports, which offer insights into an individual who is curious and concerned about these dark beings. The last boss before the whole game increase in difficulty is Ansem himself (possessing Sora's friend Riku). On the return trip to that world, you obtain the even-numbered Reports. These reveal that he made the Heartless via deliberate experimentation with darkness itself, was willing to expose living beings to them, realized that they were after hearts of both people and worlds, started manufacturing Heartless en masse, and voluntarily turned himself into a Heartless in order to help the Heartless find what they're looking for. For better or for worse, the second game reveals that 'Ansem' was a stolen name, and the guy responsible was unrelated to the wise ruler that the name belonged to. | |

10 Cloverfield Lane: There's a scene where John Goodman's character Howard shaves and puts on some nice clothes before preparing dinner for a nice young woman, even offering some ice cream. Seems innocent enough out of context. In context it's one of the most horrifying scenes in the entire film because of the sheer implications; Howard is an unhinged murderer and possible rapist who just murdered the only other man in the bunker the characters are in, seems unhealthily obsessed with the woman in question and keeps comparing her to his possibly dead daughter. The implication of the whole scene is that he's on the verge of raping and/or killing her. | |

Lloyd's score is 25 points, and he remarks that it's the best score he's ever gotten. Turns out the test is out of 400. Sheena is the only other party member to score less than 100 points. | |

Deconstructed in Frozen (2013). Right before "Love is an Open Door," Prince Hans casually dismisses Anna's shocked reaction at his family ignoring him as "what brothers do," indicating that he has a warped view on how family relationships work. The creators have confirmed he was indeed neglected in youth, and the Broad Strokes Tie-In Novel A Frozen Heart reveals that the abuse was far worse than what he described. | |

Bender agrees, stating they'd need some sort of robot in order to keep up. Everyone stares at Bender, and then he realizes he's a robot who could be up for the task. |

Unfortunately, the guy is convinced that he's going to Hell, as he has committed the sin of adultery...over a thousand times...with his mother. Edmund convinces him via Hell of a Heaven in the end. |

A large number of the gags in The Golden Girls used this trope. In one scene, Dorothy is under the impression that they have no cheesecake left because Blanche ate it all to cope with the stress of discovering gray hairs. | |

In Rover Dangerfield, when Rover encounters his old dog act trope, he finds that one dog, Flappy, had been kicked out. Rover figured that, stating that Flappy was dumb, before going into a monologue of stupid things he had done, capping it off with: | |

In one Beau Peep strip, Beau asks Sergeant Bidet why he and Dennis have been thrown into the brig, having been too drunk the previous night to remember anything. The Sergeant tells Beau that he threw a glass through a window, which Beau doesn't think is too bad...until he learns that the colonel was holding the glass at the time. | |

In Yuusha Gojo Kumiai Kouryuugata Keijiban, the forum regulars react to a hero's description of their party with scorn when they realise that it's a harem situation. They're a little more sympathetic when they learn that the heroines hate each other, and the only thing they can agree on is their hatred for the hero, but only a little (after all, some guys like that sort of thing). It's only when the hero reveals that she's a girl that they realise just how bad the situation is. | |

Frasier: Frasier and Niles need to fake their opinion on a play they haven't seen, and Frasier reminds Niles that it didn't go so well for him last time, when Niles had claimed another play had third act problems. Niles asks him why he considers that to be such a blunder, and Frasier replies that the play had no third act at all. | |

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: The line "With corpses, I prefer to go through the eye sockets" is already bad enough. The fact that the bot giving the line (Chromedome) is referring to mnemosurgery, a method of viewing/altering a Cybertronian's memories responsible for everything from shadowplay to straight-up mutilation, cranks it from slightly to exceedingly disturbing. | |

You Can't Do That on Television: The 'not-so-harmless' punishment version occurs in one sketch when Lance tells one of the kids to remove his shoes as he is grounded. The kid takes off his shoes but says that being barefoot won't stop him leaving the house. Lance says that he misunderstood, and that now he has removed his rubber soled shoes he is 'grounded' and then hands him a live electric cable, leading to Harmless Electrocution. | |
