The '''Gilligan Cut''' is a classic staple of comedy in which someone announces something forcefully, and the scene immediately cuts to the same character doing something in direct contradiction to what he just said.

=== Visual Novel ===
* In ''[[Kirakira|Kira Kira]]'', Shikanosuke swears he will '''not''' dress as a girl to get into Sarina's mansion. No way. Not happening. Even if he can pull off an extremely effective girl, it will never ''ever'' happen again. After that declaration, he gets an entire line before we get a cut to him. You have to hand it to him, he manages to actually look better than any of the real girls.
* In ''[[Tokimeki Memorial]] Girl's Side 1'', the Christmas event with Reiichi Himuro in the third year has the protagonist ask him to take her with him to his friend's bar after the school's Christmas party. He adamantly refuses, saying it's no place for him to take a student. Cut to "Yo, welcome. A table for two?"
Line 603:
== Web Comics ==
* ''[[Gai-Gin]]'': [https://web.archive.org/web/20100509160558/http://gai-gin.com/comic_0055.shtml "On my honour, I solemnly swear I am not going to sleep with that boy..."]
* ''[[The Way of the Metagamer]]'' likes this trope. It's used at least twice.
Line 877 ⟶ 876:
* One episode of ''[[The Real Ghostbusters]]'' (“The Slob”) starts with the eponymous heroes and all of New York in general having a miserable day. It’s the tenth day of the sanitation department being on strike, and it’s over a hundred degrees, the heat making the stench nearly unbearable. Naturally, the air conditioning in the firehouse is broken, meaning they have to keep the windows open, meaning that (due to the stench) they have swarms of flies to deal with. They aren’t getting any customers, but Egon says that’s just as well because, “only a complete and utter fool would go Ghostbusting in this heat.” Cut to the fool in question, [[Mad Scientist| Professor Dweeb]], commenting on how it’s “the perfect day” for ghost hunting and about to become yet another annoyance to the heroes.
* In the ''[[Helluva Boss]]'' episode "Queen Bee", Blitzo is clearly not in the mood to go into the party with Loona, but eventually he gives in, saying, "Maybe one drink." A scene shift later, he is clearly ''way'' past his tolerance limit while being the life of the party, though also making a fool of himself and on the verge of ruining it.
* In the ''[[DC Super Hero Girls]]'' episode “Detention Club” (a lampoon of [[The Breakfast Club]]), Pam sneaks out to get her plant that the teacher confiscated, leading to her and Hal hiding in a school closet to avoid Montoya<ref>Who is, in this continuity, is a hall monitot)</ref>; Hal becomes engrossed by all the cool stuff there, saying, “Sure beats sitting in detention hall!” Cut to said detention hall where Kara, Zee, and Garth are all dancing to music.
== Real Life ==
* "I'll just close my eyes for a minute, but I definitely won't go to sleep. This paper's due in the morning!"
* [[Modern Egypt|Egyptian]] President Hosni Mubarak. On February 10, he announced that he would not be stepping down, contrary to rumors that had been flying around. The next day, his Vice President, Omar Suleiman, announced his resignation.
* The infamous "Baghdad Bob" became a [[Running Gag]] in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, when his pronouncements that the US was being thrown back by the Iraqi army would be shortly contradicted by reports of a smashing American victory in the same city.
