Compare [[Ha Ha Only Serious]].
 
Not to be confused with the [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] song, ''I Was Only Kidding''.
 
{{examples}}
 
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* One of the most [[Dude, She's Like, in Aa Coma|memorable scenes]] in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'':
{{quote| '''Asuka''': I know you tried to kiss me when I was sleeping!<br />
'''Shinji''': No fair! You were awake?!<br />
Line 55:
 
== [[Fanfic]] ==
* When a complete stranger seems to recognize him in ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero (Fanfic)|Kyon Big Damn Hero]]'', Kyon jokes to Haruhi that she might be a Slider that recognizes alternate versions of them from other worlds. Before he could say the trope name, Haruhi ran off after her. Kyon was right.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 67:
{{quote| Chavez: "What are you going to do, just knock on his door?"<br />
[[Gilligan Cut|Cut]] to Ryan knocking on a door in the outer wall of Escobedo's compound and handing the guards a business card. }}
* ''[[Race for Thethe Yankee Zephyr]]'' (1981). Theo Brown (George Peppard) has just threatened that something nasty will happen to Gilbert Carson (Donald Pleasence) if he doesn't lead him directly to the Yankee Zephyr, a crashed [[WW 2]] airplane holding a fortune in gold.
{{quote| '''Gilbert Carson:''' Well it's a bit tricky. You see, the first time I saw the Yankee Zephyr, I was suspended arse-over-elbow underneath a Mixmaster.<br />
'''Theo Brown:''' That can be arranged. ''(Cut to Gilbert Carson tied up in a deer net beneath the villain's helicopter)'' }}
Line 140:
'''[[MacGyver]]:''' Why, you got some? }}
* Played [[Dead Baby Comedy|kind of horribly]] on ''[[The Big C]]'' when Cathy finally tells Sean about her cancer and Sean breaks down entirely. In a panic, Cathy blurts out that she was kidding, getting revenge on him for an early scene where he'd made her believe their father had molested him.
* On ''[[Band of Brothers (TV series)|Band of Brothers]]'', Martin and Perconte have this exchange in the first episode:
{{quote| '''Perconte:''' ''(showing off his polished boots)'' Now, just think, if you had any class or style like me, somebody might've mistaken you for somebody.<br />
'''Martin:''' ''(show insignia on his uniform)'' Oh, yeah, like your fucking sergeant?<br />
Line 156:
 
== [[Music]] ==
* In [["Weird Al" Yankovic]]'s epic song "Albuquerque", Al notices a guy moving a sofa and asks if he wants help. The guy rolls his eyes and says [[Sarcasm Mode|"No, I want you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw."]]. [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm|So he does.]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Then the guy gets all indignant.]]
 
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
Line 193:
'''Mai:''' The warden's my uncle, [[Baka|you idiot]]! }}
* [[Kim Possible]], the episode "Monkey Fist Strikes", as Kim attempts to retrieve an ancient monkey statue from a [[Temple of Doom|booby-trap-laden temple]]...she provides the page quote.
* A variant, from [[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]; after an episode-long [[Running Gag]] re: Bloo's propensity for sarcasm, some random hobo-type guy tries to use "I was being sarcastic!" as a [["Just Joking" Justification]] for being behind the shenanigan around which the whole episode revolved. Bloo and Mac are able to call him out, with extensive research to back it up.
* In the [[Futurama]] episode ''Love's Labours Lost in Space'', when Leela seems strangely unwilling to ask Zapp Brannigan for help:
{{quote| '''Bender''': So what's the problem? It's not like you slept with the guy. ([[Beat]]) Oh...my...''god''.}}
Line 211:
'''Shepard''': ([[Eye Take]])<br />
'''EDI''': That is a joke. }}
* Done in ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' during the second case. The day before his trial, Maya asks Phoenix is there's anything that she can do to help. The player is then given three opinion to say: "Defend Me", "Be my cheerleader" and "Break me out of here". Whatever one you pick, Maya takes it seriously and starts to go to prepere for it, to which Phoenix states that "He's Kidding".
{{quote| '''Maya''': Is there anything I can do to help?<br />
'''Phoenix''': [Upon choicing "Defend me"] Alright, you can be my lawyer in court tommorow.<br />
Line 241:
 
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation]]'', Q loses his powers temporarily and ends up working for Picard. The local planet is in danger, and the characters are brainstorming to prevent catastrophe. Q mopes that if he had his powers he could change the gravitational constant. Geordi suddenly realizes that it might be possible for the ship to generate a force field that would have an analogous effect.
** Data having [[No Sense of Humour]] does this a fair bit; one memorable example is where Picard jokes Riker should be taken to the brig because of his actions during the episode. Data doesn't gets the joke and leads Riker away while he's protesting "Data he's joking, you know that right?".
* ''[[Babylon Five5]]'':
{{quote| '''Londo:''' Why don't you just eliminate the entire Narn homeworld while you're at it?<br />
'''Morden:''' One thing at a time, ambassador. }}
Line 256:
'''Wash''':: Damn right it's true! They'd be forced to stop and dig out our signal before they could go anyplace! [[Beat Panel|(pause)]] Well, maybe I should do that, then! }}
** In this case, I think Mal was actually trying to snap Wash out of the funk he'd induced earlier when Mal forced Wash from Zoe's side. He knew exactly what he was doing.
* Often on ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'', one of House's team will make a sarcastic suggestion that is hugely dangerous, bordering on unethical, whereupon House will say something like 'Well let's do that then' or 'That's just what I was thinking.'
** Once used the other way around, when House sarcastically snarls that since their patient is a kid they should cure her with puppies and sunshine. Which leads to Chase solving the mystery.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]'' Case 4, at one point it seems that Phoenix is completely out of leads, so the prosecutor tauntingly suggests that they {{spoiler|[[Make the Dog Testify|cross-examine the killer's parrot]]}} just for the sake of comic relief. Phoenix decides to take him up on his offer.
** Subverted in that {{spoiler|[[Crazy Prepared|von Karma had RETRAINED the parrot]]}}
** And then double subverted when {{spoiler|Phoenix is able to get enough out of the parrot to continue with the case anyway}}.
Line 277:
'''Tariq''': I was only joking! }}
* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Special Edition]]'' includes a brief interview with the game's programmers, explaining how this (fictional) [[Updated Rerelease]] came to be:
{{quote| '''Anonymous programmer:''' So [Yuji Naka] just says: "F**k it! Let's just make ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' again!" It turned out that he was being sarcastic. However, we were much too far into development at that point.}}
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[The Lion King]]'': "What're we supposed to do, kill Mufasa?"
** "Precisely." [[Villain Song|*cue]] [[CrowningAwesome Music of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|"Be Prepared"*]]
** Plus, there's this classic line of Timon's: "[[We Need a Distraction|What do you want us to do]], [[Crowning Moment of Funny|dress in drag and do the hula?!"]]
** A variation occurs in Lion King 1 1/2. Timon is unhappy with his life, and Rafiki tells him to seek Hakuna Matata, and to go beyond what he sees, prompting Timon to go on a journey to find a place where he'll be happy. The problem comes when Rafiki is talking Timon's mother later.
