Dissimile: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

A '''Dissimile''' is like when you eat a banana, but, instead of peeling it you compare it to another thing that is [[Confusing Multiple Negatives|not entirely unlike]] it. Also, instead of eating it, you deconstruct the comparison. And it doesn't necessarily have to be a banana, either, or any other kind of fruit for that matter. [[Self-Demonstrating Article|Actually, it is nothing like eating a banana.]] [[Doctor Who|Forget the banana.]]

{{examples|These examples of Dissimiles are like snowflakes, only there's probably a few that are alike, and they're not nearly as cold.}}

* In the [[Filler|Bount]] arc dub from ''[[Bleach]]'', Rukia is offered a pudding-filled rice ball, and later says, "It's kinda like a cream-filled donut, only it's not cream-filled and it's not a donut." Also counts as a [[Take That]] to dub edits.

* Haruhi Suzumiya once commented in a ''[[Haruhi-chan]]'' short that playing tug of war with Kyon reminded her of the times when two women who claimed to have the same baby would tug on the child as a test. However, while the "winner" of that game would have to let go of the baby, instead of pulling it as hard as she can, Haruhi intended to win by holding onto Kyon. [[Lampshade Hanging|Kyon then commented that the difference Haruhi pointed out renders her speech pointless.]]

* ''[[30 "H"s]]'': "Harry slammed his book shut. It wasn't really a book, because the pages were made of lasers and the words were made of headless women making godless love to dragons made of motorcycles, but it was still reading."
