'''Simba:''' But Zazu! You told me they were nothing but slobbery, mangy, stupid poachers!<br />

[[Idiotic Partner Confession]] is a situation in which XBob is keeping something from YAlice, be it a something he's done, something he's planning, or just something he said earlier that he ''really'' doesn't want to tell YAlice. The problem is, ZCharlie is also aware of this secret, and just happens to be a [[Too Dumb to Live|complete idiot]]. So what does ZCharlie do? He starts talking about it right in front of YAlice, if not directly to himher, of course! This will undoubtedly lead to XBob trying as discreetly as possible to get ZCharlie to shut up, with ZCharlie [[What an Idiot!|completely oblivious that he's saying anything remotely wrong]]. This will likely [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu|piss YAlice right off]], and lead to all sorts of trouble for poor XBob.

YAlice can either be a [[Big Bad|villain]], [[The Parent Trope|some sort of parental figure,]] or anyone else who XBob would have any reason not to be honest with. ZCharlie doesn't necessarily be an idiot to do this; it could very well be a case of [[Will Not Tell a Lie]].

** Not completely played straight, since Simba wasn't so much an idiot as an innocent child, and Zazu teaching him to be [[Fantastic Racism|racist]] was a bad idea in [[Idiot Ball|multiple]] [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass|ways.]]

* ''[[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]]'' does this to poor [[Butt Monkey|Squidward]] when they're faced with the Flying Dutchman.

{{quote| '''The Flying Dutchman''': Who be disturbin' the Flying Dutchman in his own lair???<br />

'''Spongebob:''' It's Squidward. He wants to complain to you.<br />

'''Squidward:''' I-I...No, I...no.<br />

'''Spongebob:''' [[What an Idiot!|But what about all that stuff about him having a dirty ship, and being lazy, and all?]]<br />

'''Squidward:''' *laughs nervously* I never said that...<br />

'''The Flying Dutchman''' Insulting a man's ship is worse than insulting his mother!<br />

'''Spongebob''' No wait, maybe it was his mother you said was dirty... }}
