A Dissimile is basically the same thing as a [[Phlebotinum Analogy]], except that it isn't like a [[Phlebotinum Analogy]] at all.

Compare [[The Other Wiki]]'s article on this [https://web.archive.org/web/20180812023517/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_analogy] and [https://web.archive.org/web/20180822035343/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overwhelming_exception]. Except it's [[Serious Business|not always played for laughs]]. And the person doesn't have to realize they've made a Dissimile. But aside from that, exactly like [[The Other Wiki]]'s article.

On the other hand, a Dissimile often has a lot of overlap with [[Metaphorgotten]]. Also compare with [[Analogy Backfire]]. See also [[Talks Like a Simile]] and [[I Would Say If I Could Say]].

* 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|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.]]
