Line 152: * Sort of used in ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]''. Halfway through the game, Emperor Gesthal invites the party to his castle to have a feast and reassures them that his kingdom is too ravaged from the Espers' attack to fight the party, so he wants to help them calm the Espers. He also tells the party that Kefka will be punished for his crimes. {{spoiler\|This is just a big fat lie of course since later on, Kefka attacks a village to get more Espers and he meets up with Geshtal on the Floating Continent so they can get more power.}} ** Invoked in Final Fantasy XII when the new emperor of the Archadian Empire takes one of his new subjects out drinking. He's presumed to be a villain by the characters, but really is making a genuine effort to establish a personal relationship with his less than willing citizens. * Spoofed in ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines]].'' When you've slogged your way through the [[Sewer Level]] and finally make it to the Nosferatu hideout, you make your way up to [[Affably Evil\|Gary's]] room... where you see [[Mummies At the Dinner Table\|a bunch of skeletons, dressed in suits, seated at a table with dead rats arranged on it]]. Gary claims he's having a wrap part for ''The Misfits''... "About forty years late". He may be genuine, or he may be just fucking with your head. Gary's like that. * When [[Professor Layton]] and Luke arrive at the big, ominous manor in [[Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box]], {{spoiler\|Anton}} has dinner and makes idle chit-chat with them before showing them to their rooms. He then ties them up in his basement. == Web Comics == ~~== Webcomics ==~~ * Parodied in the [[Ur Example\|ur-context]] of a ''Dr. No'' spoof in [http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1384.html this] ''[[Irregular Webcomic]]''. * ''[[Darths and Droids]]'' does this [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0185.html here], with reference to this trope. * ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'': ~~In ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' near~~Near the end of the siege of Azure City, Haley and Belkar attempt to retrieve {{spoiler\|Roy's body}} from the battlefield but find that he and {{spoiler\|O-Chul}} are guests at a tea party hosted by the extremely powerful but childlike Monster in the Darkness. (Yes, {{spoiler\|Roy is dead. O-Chul is paralyzed.}} It's that sort of tea party.) Haley and Belkar have to carefully play along through the meal (and Belkar has to ''cook'' the meal) before they can attempt to escape. Played almost perfectly straight when Elan's father invites Elan and Haley to a formal dinner, except for the fact that Elan hasn't realized his dad is a villain yet. * ''[[Blade Bunny]]'': When your would-be assassin is a hot chick in a bunnygirl outfit and disarmed to boot you can probably be excused for deciding to indulge in this trope. * In ''[[8-~~Bit Theater\|Eight~~ Bit Theater]]'', the warriors ''think'' Garland is doing this, when in fact he's an [[Affably Evil]] [[Harmless Villain]]. * In ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'', Silas Morth invites Jamilla to dinner after finding out she's a spy. He even adds complimentary drugs to the wine to make her a more compliant sacrifice.
