Line 7:
'''Timmy''': What are ''yoou'' talking about?<br />
'''Jorgen''': I'm talking about the fact you wished up an amusement park in your backyard and didn't invite me! You know how much I love the swan boats!<br />
'''Timmy''': ....YES, I DO!|''[[The Fairly Odd Parents (Animation)|The Fairly Odd Parents]]'', Meet the OddParents}}
 
Alice has been acting suspicious. Bob knows she's up to something, watches her, and...[[Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?|comes to the wrong conclusion.]] He confronts Alice with what he thinks he knows, and Alice, to keep him from discovering her real secret, lets Bob think he got it right. May lead to a [[Maintain the Lie]] to keep Bob from catching on.
Line 36:
* The English dub of [[Shin Chan]] gives us this:
{{quote| '''Shin''': What's 'exasjulate [[Don't Explain the Joke|(ejaculate)]]' mean? Some type of lady face cream?<br />
'''Hiro''': [[Sure, Let's Go Withwith That]] }}
* ''[[Code Geass]]'', when Lelouch encounters an opponent he can't fight ({{spoiler|Nunnally}}), resulting in a [[Ten -Minute Retirement]]:
{{quote| '''Shirley''': You just seem sort of down.<br />
'''Lelouch''': No, I'm fine.<br />

== Comic Books ==
 
* In ''[[The Goon (Comic Book)|The Goon]]'', federal agents have been investigating the ties between the titular character and his boss, the infamous and secretive mobster Labrazzio, in whose name The Goon has been controlling crime in the city. Eventually, the agents discover a tombstone with Labrazzio's name on it, and, recalling the Goon's story about how Labrazzio once hid out at the freakshow where the Goon grew up and took him in when his aunt was killed in a shootout, confront the Goon with their realisation that the Goon must have created the grave as a fake to throw people off of Labrazzio's scent. The Goon being perfectly aware that {{spoiler|he actually beat Labrazzio's brains out with a rock after the mobster mocked his aunt for dying, then stole Labrazzio's "favor diary" and claimed to be Labrazzio's new #1 in order to steal Labrazzio's place without anyone being the wiser}}, invokes this trope while making plans to destroy the tombstone, lest someone smarter figure things out.
* ''[[Spider-Man]]'': How Peter gets out of most situations when a disasters turn up and he simply has to leave the scene only to have Spider-Man show up a few seconds later.
{{quote| '''Harry''': Parker!<br />
Line 72:
** It's actually both. [[All There in the Manual|Leaked drafts of the script]] reveal that Ricky had been looking for an excuse to get kicked out of the house for a while.
** It's actually in the movie itself. The father threatens to kick his son out if he's gay, the son asks if he's serious, which the father confirms, so the son tells him he's gay.
* In ''The New Guy'', Danielle confronts "Gil" (AKA a post-[[Makeover Montage|makeover]] Dizzy) with "I'm onto you". He thinks that she's talking about his previous identity as his last school's [[Butt Monkey]]. She thinks that he's actually a [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]. He decides to play along with that.
* An interesting variation occurs in [[Home Alone]], where Kevin tells a man dressed in a Santa suit "I'm old enough to know you're not the real Santa Claus, but I also know that you work for him." The Santa actor just goes with it.
 
Line 78:
 
* In one of Robert Asprin's ''[[Myth Adventures|Myth]]'' books, Don Bruce, a Mob boss, comes to see Skeeve, who has been quietly sabotaging Mob operations, and says he knows Skeeve is the reason the Mob hasn't succeeded in moving into the dimension of Deva. He lists the evidence: Skeeve knows the territory, has connections on Deva, etc. His conclusion? They should have hired Skeeve to work for them in the first place. This echoes an earlier scene in which the Devan Merchants' Association hires Skeeve to defend them from the Mob, not knowing he was the one who originally brought the Mob to Deva. To cover up the truth, Skeeve agrees to work for both sides, so he has to maintain a balance between working for the Mob and limiting Mob activity on Deva.
* In ''[[Star Wars (Franchise)/Allegiance|Allegiance]]'', five stormtroopers end up as fugitives from the Empire, but remain Imperials themselves, remembering the oath they made to protect Imperial citizens. When they stop at a spaceport on an out-of-the-way world and the local authorities fine them needlessly and confiscate their speeder bikes, they snoop around and find that the local authorities are very corrupt, confiscating weapons from the citizens, shooting protesters, and basically trying to milk money from anyone and everyone. The local citizens aren't allowed to petition higher authorities and can't do much themselves, since they don't have blasters. So the [[Badass Crew|stormtroopers]] take care of that problem for them. The locals are pleased, and believe the stormtroopers were sent officially.
{{quote| '''Atmino''': "You get back you bait all right?"<br />
'''La Rone''': "Our what?"<br />
Line 86:
* Miles in [[Lois McMaster Bujold]]'s [[Vorkosigan Saga]] is the king of this. He just keeps letting people assume things about him, and pretty soon, he has his own mercenary army.
* [[Percy Jackson]] guesses that Thalia Grace freaked out while driving the sun-chariot because her mom died in a car crash. Thalia lets it ride because it's better than admitting the daughter of Zeus, god of the Sky, is afraid of heights.
* In [[John Dies Atat the End]] when main character David Wong takes Amy back to his place [[Trash of the Titans|where it looks as though someone broke in]] she says "They threw laundry all over the floor!" David responds "Yeah and they wore them first! The bastards!"
* [[Mistborn|Vin]] pulls this when {{spoiler|Kliss}} assumes she's been trying to drive a certain house into bankruptcy so House Renoux can corner the weapons market...when Vin is really part of a conspiracy to throw the city into civil war and overthrow the Lord Ruler.
 
Line 103:
** Of course, it's also established that Inara also accepts [[Les Yay|female clients]].
* ''[[Dexter]]'': Rita thinks Dexter is a heroin addict, which he goes along with to keep from having to explain that he's a serial killer. Later in the season, {{spoiler|Dexter is brought to the station by the FBI after finding his blood slides missing. He assumes that he's been exposed as the [[The Butcher|Bay Harbor Butcher]], but in fact the agents are there to protect him because his nemesis Sergeant Doakes is suspected of the murders.}}
* ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'': Morgana tells Merlin she'll keep his secret, and Merlin thinks she's talking about him being a sorcerer, but it turns out she thinks he's in love with Gwen. (Which, admittedly, was also true.)
* ''[[Hannah Montana]]'' Rico is blackmailing Miley for the majority of the episode claiming to know her secret. Thinking the secret is involving her other life as Hannah Montana, she agrees to meet and discuss terms with him. When he reveals the secret that he knows is that she carries a teddy bear around with her, Miley feigns being upset while being relieved that he knows nothing.
* Subverted in ''[[Prison Break]]''. Michael burns his back while wearing a guard uniform for part of his escape plan, and when fibers from it are picked out of his wound, the warden assumes that a guard has been abusing him. However, going along with this would also hinder Michael's plan, so he has to just say he doesn't know what they're talking about.
Line 128:
'''Bernadette:''' I’m too hot to go out with a guy like Glenn?<br />
'''Howard:''' Yeah, let’s go with that. }}
* ''[[GreysGrey's Anatomy]]'', "The Time Warp"(6x15):
{{quote| '''Alex''': You look like a cool person, and I need some cool cases...ever since the elevator thing and heart guy<ref>i.e. "Bring The Pain"(2x05), when he and George were trapped in an elevator with a heart patient who George ended up saving after Alex wussed out</ref>, it's just...<br />
'''Callie''': Wait, that was you? You're the heart in the elevator guy?<br />
Line 143:
'''Kurt:''' ...Yes. [[Blatant Lies|For several years now.]] }}
* In ''[[No Ordinary Family]]'', when Stephanie's parents visit, Jim's habit of frequently sneaking out to fight crime initially leads to him being [[Mistaken for Cheating]] by Stephanie's father, which leads Jim and Steph to consider telling her parents about their powers. But as they're about to do so, Stephanie's father announces that he's figured out that what Jim's actually been sneaking out to do is help the homeless, so they let him continue believing that.
* From ''[[Community]]'' episode [[Community (TV)/Recap/S1 E08 Home Economics|Home Economics]], Pierce gets angry at Britta's ex boyfriend (whose band he recently joined) about not getting his share of the credit for a song they wrote (an insulting song about Britta caused by the ex's [[Creator Breakdown]] regarding the events in "Social Psychology"). Britta watches their argument from a distance without hearing the words, leading to this exchange:
{{quote| '''Britta:''' Pierce, did you just defend my honor?<br />
'''Pierce:''' Uh...yeah, totally. }}
* ''[[The Thin Blue Line]]'' episode "Honey Trap" featured Detective Inspector Derek Grim and Inspector Raymond Fowler using Constable Maggie Habib as a Honey Trap to capture a criminal. Fowler's girlfriend, Sergeant Patricia Dawkins, thought he and Maggie were having an affair. In retaliation, Dawkins broke something valuable to Fowler, who claimed it represented all the values he stands for. She then replied he doesn't stand for any and mentions knowing what he and Maggie are doing. Wrongly believing she figured out about the Honey Trap, he comments about it, revealing to her the truth. She then let him think he was right, and he tells her he agrees with her reaction.
* ''[[Pair of Kings]]'': After a giant spider is destroyed and the Kings got dirtied by it. When Brady asked asked Boomer if that's the reason Boomer said he needed a change of underwear, Boomer hesitated before answering 'Yes'.
* ''[[Kamen Rider Fourze (TV)|Kamen Rider Fourze]]'': Ryusei has a [[Freak-Out]] during a special exam, and his friends think that he only faked it so that he'll have more free time on his hands, thus being available for Zodiarts attacks. Wanting to keep up his stoic image, Ryusei just goes along with their idea...
 
 
== Video Games ==
 
* Ford Cruller of ''[[Psychonauts (Video Game)|Psychonauts]]'' was severely psychologically damaged in an important battle years ago, and becomes scatterbrained, to say the least, when taken away from the large levels of Psitanium located underneath the camp where the game takes place. When he leaves the metal, he takes on split personalities who have no trace of Cruller's intelligence and wherewithal. He tells Raz, the protagonist, that this is because he wants to keep his identity a secret, so he 'pretends' not to recognize Raz. Cruller doesn't reveal the real reason until much later in the game.
* In ''[[Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney]]: Justice For All'', Case 4, this is what happens if Phoenix presents the profile of {{spoiler|"John Doe" to his client. He knowingly plays along with Phoenix's misinformation about Doe's identity - i.e. that he's merely a [[The Butler Did It|butler]]}}.
* Used in ''[[Fate/stay Stay Nightnight]]'', when Issei comes over, and wonders why Saber is there.
* ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe|Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals]]'' uses this in [[Punch Clock Hero|Hugh's]] recruitment conversation, when he mentions that he needs the money for his grandmother, Roy immediately asks if she's sick. "Uh, yeah, really sick". He later mentions that "she gets really bad headaches around her back" as an "example of the pain" that she suffers from. Roy suspects that something's up, but doesn't press the issue.
* In ''[[Fallout 3]]'', the player character often comes across people who are either a bit kooky, have a bit of a misguided view of the world as it was / is or are quite crazy. In the dialogue options, there's usually at least one which enables the player character to politely humour the NPC in order to enable the conversation to progress. There's also usually an [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|option]] for the player character to simply [[Jerkass|bluntly and rudely point out how crazy the NPC is]].
Line 162:
== Webcomics ==
 
* ''[[Girl Genius (Webcomic)|Girl Genius]]'', in [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20030903 this] example. Also a meta-[[Sure Why Not]].
* ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' does it [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0597.html here], after what was supposed to be a [[Badass Boast]]:
{{quote| '''[[Squishy Wizard|Vaarsuvius]]:''' Oh, forget it. It would take longer to make you understand than it would to research the next spell.<br />
Line 198:
{{quote| '''Burns:''' I take it you found the bathroom?<br />
'''Homer:''' (guiltily) Uh...yeah, that's right! }}
* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "Swarm of the Century," the town of Ponyville is plagued by a swarm of parasprites, which destroy the town on the day that Princess Celestia is supposed to visit. However, Pinkie Pie manages to get rid of the 'sprites by putting together a one-man band and leading the bugs out of town, [[The Pied Piper of Hamelin|pied piper-style]], just as the Princess arrives on the outskirts of town. Celestia assumes the procession is a parade in her honor, and Twilight Sparkle quickly assures her that it is, indeed, a parade.
** Alternatively, Celestia was well aware of what was going on and pretended to misunderstand to allow Twilight to save face.
* The ''[[Family Guy]]'' episode "When You Wish Upon A Weinstein": Max Weinstein says he cannot eat Lois's [[Cordon Bleugh Chef|marshmallow and fish casserole]]. Lois assumes because it's not kosher, and after looking at it Weinstein lets her think that.
Line 224:
'''Wife''': Oh, Scott, you're so thoughtful. ''smooch''<br />
'''Pilot''': Er, uh, yes, yes, I am. }}
* In ''[[Young Justice (Animationanimation)|Young Justice]]'', when Superboy needs a civilian name, Martian Manhunter suggests "Kent". Not privy to Superman's identity, Miss Martian and Superboy assumed he was referring to the late Kent Nelson whom they had met earlier.
{{quote| '''Superboy''': "Wait, shouldn't I be 'Conner Nelson' then?" }}
* ''[[King of the Hill]]'': When Dale had a dream that clued him to the fact his wife cheated on him with John Redcorn and her son Joseph was indeed a result of this, he concluded instead that he was a Native American like John Redcorn, who let Dale think he did interpret the dream correctly.
