Yank the Dog's Chain: Difference between revisions

** After continously teasing you about being adopted (yet another [[Call Back]]), GLaDOS promises a surprise in which you're going to "meet two people you haven't seen in a long, long time." Of course, it's a lie. Then later in that same test chamber, she promises to put them on the phone, but instead puts on a fake "prerecorded message" in which they claim not to love you. Yes, GLaDOS, we get the point. You don't like Chell. [[Sarcasm Mode|Thank you for being so discreet about it]].

** The last one is more noticeable for being subverted [[Hypocritical Humor]]. Later in the game, she contradicts {{spoiler|Wheatley}} when he tries to pull the same "adopted fatty" insults on Chell, creating an "awwwwwww" moment, but promptly yanks the rug out when she whispers to you, "For the record, you ARE adopted, [[And That's Terrible]]."

* Any time it looks like [[Homestar Runner|Coach Z]] might be catching a break, something needs to get in his way.

'''Homestar:''' What? [[Big No|No, no-ho-ho!]] No, no, no. No, Coach Z, no. [[Overly Long Gag|No.]] No, you can't. }}

* In a slightly less sympathetic use of the trope, [[The Nostalgia Chick]] puts on some mood music when [[Todd in the Shadows]] finally agrees to sleep with her out of boredom. The "mood music" turns out to be "Reproduction" from ''[[Grease]] II'', and he runs off, much to her anger.
