Line 3:
* '''Straight''': [[The Butler Did It]], and everyone is genuinely surprised.
* '''Exaggerated''': All the butlers in the city go on a killing spree, and nobody suspects a thing.
* '''Downplayed''': The butler did it... "it" being [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Heinous?|leaving the toilet seat up.]]
** The butler did not do it, but he was a vital part of the crime.
** The butler broke his master's leg.
Line 13:
* '''Subverted''': The butler is the prime suspect at the beginning, and is later found innocent.
* '''Double Subverted''': The butler is the prime suspect at the beginning, but then eliminated as a suspect -- except he did do it, and the exonerating evidence is false.
* '''Parodied''': The killer makes a long speech about how [[In Another MansMan's Shoes|he always wanted to be a butler.]]
** Putting on a butler suit brainwashes the wearer to commit murder.
** The victim doesn't even ''have'' a butler, there are no butlers anywhere around, and somehow the butler ''still'' did it.
