Fan Casting Bait-and-Switch

Role added by germanacola on May 7, 2024

Description of Bait-and-Switch:

A type of setup where a character leads the audience or other characters into thinking they are going to say or do something, but says or does something unexpected. This is usually a joke, and if the punch line of the joke causes the first part to take on a new meaning (e.g., "I just flew in from Chicago, and boy are my arms tired"), it is technically called a "paraprosdokian." Note that this trope doesn't have to be Played for Laughs however; serious examples count here as well.
