* In a series of Twix commercials, a man lies to a woman to get her to come home with him. When they get to his place, it's a mess.

'''Man:''' ''That'' is what happened. }}

 

 

* [[Comic Book Adaptation|In the supplementary manga]] set before ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'''s second season, while Nanoha, [[Those Two Guys|Alisa, and Suzuka]] watched a tape sent by Fate, a girl from another world whom Nanoha [[Defeat Means Friendship|befriended]], [[Muggles|Alisa]] asked Nanoha a question that threatened to crack the [[Masquerade]] wide open.

'''Suzuka:''' [[Theme Naming|Testarossa]]...is that an Italian name?<br />

'''Nanoha:''' Ah...oh yeah! Italian! She's Italian! }}

* Subverted in ''[[Victorian Romance Emma]]'': Adele does this to comfort and cover for Emma after a party. Emma gets drunk and lets her secret slip when she ends up crying over William. Adele gets it, but simply escorts Emma to her room with only a "Liquor can be overwhelming if you've never had it before."

* The English dub of [[Shin Chan]] gives us this:

'''Hiro''': [[Sure, Let's Go with That]] }}

* ''[[Code Geass]]'', when Lelouch encounters an opponent he can't fight ({{spoiler|Nunnally}}), resulting in a [[Ten-Minute Retirement]]:

'''Shirley''': Lulu, you're just like a little boy. }}

** Arguably, Lelouch does this to Rolo: {{spoiler|as Rolo is dying, he tells Lelouch that he knew Lelouch was lying about trying to kill him; Lelouch "admits" that Rolo is right to allow him a peaceful death}}. The alternate interpretation is that {{spoiler|Lelouch actually ''did'' forgive Rolo [[Heroic Sacrifice|at that point]], and considered him a brother}}.

** This also applies to how the other Black Knights view his relationship with C.C. While they assume she's his [[Dark Mistress]] she's in fact far from it, but he doesn't bother to correct them. C.C., on the other hand, tries to set the record straight with Tamaki, but he doesn't believe her.

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has Evangeline doing this during her fight with Setsuna during the tournament. She decides that Setsuna is getting too soft because of her friendships, and tries to force her to decide between her sword and her happiness. Setsuna believes it's a [[Secret Test of Character]] and ends up [[Take a Third Option|Taking A Third Option]]. Afterward, this conversation happens:

'''Eva''': ''injured'' Nhn? Dunno...I s'ppose... }}

 

* In ''[[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.

'''Spider-man''': Sssure. Let’s go with that. }}

 

 

* This is played for laughs in ''[[Oh God Not Again (Fanfic)|Oh God Not Again]]''.

''' {{spoiler|Sirius:}}''' ...Let's go with that, sure. }}

 

* 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/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.

'''La Rone''': It was amazing sometimes how hindsight enabled people to jump to such incredibly wrong conclusions. "Of course." }}

* In the [[Discworld]] novels, Vimes (and a few other Watchmen) play this line when someone takes a guess at the identity of the Watch's famous werewolf, and usually they guess it's Nobby. (They're wrong.)

* ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'': Olive thinks Chuck faked her own death. In fact, Chuck was really dead and was [[First-Episode Resurrection|resurrected by the pie maker]].

** Also from ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'', when Olive notices that Chuck and Ned never touch each other:

'''Chuck''': I'm going to say yes. }}

* Occurs loads in ''[[Friends]]''. When Monica and Chandler are looking for a new house, they don't tell anyone for fear that it would upset them. As a result, Phoebe and Rachel see Chandler get into the car of an attractive woman (the real-estate agent), follow them to a house in the suburbs, and conclude that they are having an affair. In this case both Monica and Chandler let Phoebe and Rachel labour under this delusion for half the episode before revealing the truth.

** Another notable one is when Ross has been practicing telling a story (Joey told him it would get a woman to have sex with him) in front of a video camera. When Rachel walks in, she asks him "Were you just talking to yourself?" He answers, out loud, "That's less embarrassing. Yes, yes I was."

* Used as a one-off joke in ''[[Firefly]]'', "Our Mrs. Reynolds". After Mal kisses [[The Vamp]] and is knocked out by her lipstick, Inara kisses him in grief, thinking he's dead...and gets knocked out. When the rest of the crew finds and revives them, she claims she slipped and hit her head. At the end is this exchange:

'''Mal''': Well, isn't that somethin'. [smirks] I ''knew'' you let her kiss you. }}

** Of course, it's also established that Inara also accepts [[Les Yay|female clients]].

* Subverted in ''[[Castle]]''; during "A Rose For Everafter", Castle has ignored Beckett's warnings about him seeing his ex-girlfriend because she could be a murder suspect and has met her. The next day, Beckett lays into Castle about how he's been going behind her back and refuses to listen to her instructions and orders -- and then readjusts her chair, accusing Castle of sitting it in and adjusting it when she's not around. Castle is momentarily relived, but eventually his guilt overcomes him and he confesses that he saw his ex-girlfriend. Turns out Beckett knew -- she has surveillance photos -- and the chair thing was just her playing games with him.

* ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'', "The Love Car Displacement":

'''Howard:''' Yeah, let’s go with that. }}

'''Alex''': ([[Beat]]) Sure, let's go with that. }}

* 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/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:

'''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.

* ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' does it [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0597.html here], after what was supposed to be a [[Badass Boast]]:

'''[[Spoony Bard|Elan]]:''' Wait -- are you saying that you're going to research the spell "Haste" if I don't distract you anymore?<br />

'''[[Squishy Wizard|Vaarsuvius]]:''' Yes, that is it exactly. You have perfectly gleaned my true intentions, well done. Have a cookie. }}

* Became a [[Running Gag]] [[Catch Phrase]] on ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' to the point where they could parody it:

'''Timmy''': [[Magic From Technology|Uh...]] sure, let's go with that.<br />

'''Vicky''': Which means everyone will think I'm ''you''!<br />

'''Timmy''': No, let's ''not'' go with that! }}

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Iroh]] deciding to teach [[The Determinator|Zuko]] a powerful yet dangerous technique. As Zuko tries to understand why they're drinking tea instead of practising, he comes up with the explanation that it's because tea is a relaxing drink and will allow him to do better when he's taught.

* Used in the ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' episode with the ghost disease. The ghost disguised as a doctor uses the phrase at least twice.

* In one episode of ''[[Care Bears|Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-lot]]'', [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Grizzle]] attempts to capture the Care Bears by telling them he's [[Heel Face Turn|turned over a new leaf]] and has a gift for them, which is actually a codeword-activated trap. When he accidentally sets off the trap and gets captured along with everyone else, the Care Bears realize he hadn't changed at all, but their visiting child friend, McKenna, interprets the situation as Grizzle "giving them the gift of togetherness." Grizzle very quickly agrees.

* An episode of ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'' had Beezy dressing like Jimmy, telling Heloise "It's lucky you had an extra set of Jimmy clothes." Heloise mummers "Yeah, lucky..." before entering and reveling in her Jimmy-themed [[Stalker Shrine]].

* From [[The Simpsons]] (Homer is being held at gunpoint by the local [[Legitimate Businessmen's Social Club]], who believe him to be Krusty the Klown, when the real Krusty bursts in)

'''Krusty:''' Yeah...''that's'' what I did. }}

** Also from [[The Simpsons]], in the episode ''Last Exit to Springfield'', Homer has to excuse himself during a union negotiation with Burns to use the bathroom. This leads to an [[Overly Long Gag]] of Homer looking through doors to find the bathroom, which cuts back to Burns discussing how the negotiation is going with Smithers. When Homer comes back:

'''Homer:''' (guiltily) Uh...yeah, that's right! }}

* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|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.

* In the ''[[Tuff Puppy]]'' episode "Snap Dad", Snaptrap starts dating Dudley's mother and says they met at the laundromat.

'''Snaptrap''': Yes...that's what it was, ketchup. Lots and lots of ketchup. }}

* In ''[[Kim Possible]]'' episode, ''The Mentor of Our Discontent'', Drakken has Shego don a blonde wig and dress in order to distract Martin Smarty, whilst he and Frugal Lucre break into his office. The distraction works, but Smarty becomes just a little too enamoured with Shego for her tastes, leading to this exchange;

'''Shego''': Whoa! Back off!<br />

'''Martin Smarty''': Miss...Wobakoff??<br />

'''Shego''': Yeah...fine. Miss Wobakoff. Yeah...clever. }}

** There's also the [[With This Ring|the misunderstanding]] Kim and Ron had over the Magno-Rings in ''Car Alarm'';

'''Ron''': Haha! Right. That's what I thought they were...y'know...for. }}

'''Pilot''': Er, uh, yes, yes, I am. }}
