* ''Series/TwentyFour''''Series/TwentyFour'':
** In Season 1, Nina Myers is working as TheMole for the Drazens inside CTU. Victor Drazen is trying to goad Jack Bauer into attacking his base so he can kill Jack, using Jack's daughter Kim as bait. However, unbeknownst to Jack, Kim has already escaped from Drazen on her own. When Drazen calls Jack to negotiate a trade of Jack for Kim, but is unable to get Kim on the phone to prove he has her, Jack tells Drazen he's not coming and hangs up, so Drazen tells Nina to tell Jack that Kim's dead body has been pulled out of the harbor. When Nina calls Jack to tell him this, Jack admits to Nina that he was bluffing on his last call with Drazen and is planning to attack his base anyway.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Nina wouldn't say anything about Kim, and would simply tell Jack to go ahead and wish him luck. [[XanatosGambit That way, if Jack dies, the Drazens will think Nina kept up her end of the deal, but if the Drazens fail to kill Jack, Nina can keep her cover in CTU, since she never lied to him]].\\
'''Instead:''' Nina tells Jack that Kim is dead like Drazen told her to.\\
'''The Result:''' Jack kills all the Drazens in a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, and Nina's cover is blown when Jack finds out that Kim is alive, leading to her arrest.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/TheAddamsFamily'': In "Cousin Itt and the Vocational Counsellor", Morticia and Gomez pretend to argue to allow Itt, who is training to be a [[TheShrink marriage therapist]], can practice on them. At one point, Gomez uses the phrase "I mean it" in one of his fake insults.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Morticia to realise that that's just one of his lies, since the whole point was to ''fake'' being angry.\\
'''Instead''': She believes him and starts crying and being sullen, even to the point of ''[[ExiledToTheCouch making him sleep on the couch]]''.\\
'''The Result''': Even when they make up, she ''still'' thinks he was being a "cad", when he ''was never angry at her in the first place''. She does admit that she was being foolish, but she thinks it was for leaving him out in the cold, rather than for believing him.
