Playing With: Ha Ha Ha No
Basic Trope: A character pretends to laugh along with the others, then abruptly tells them to shut up.
  • Straight: Bob says to Alice, "Are you angry with me?" Alice laughs heartily, then abruptly stops smiling and says seriously "Yes I am!"
  • Exaggerated: Alice laughs with Bob, then suddenly stops smiling, pulls out a gun and shoots him.
  • Downplayed: Alice laughs with Bob, then says "Actually, it isn't quite that funny."
  • Justified: Bob made an unwarranted assumption about Alice.
  • Inverted: Bob asks Alice for a favour. Alice pretends to get angry and/or decline, then suddenly bursts out laughing, implicitly saying yes.
  • Subverted: Alice begins laughing with Bob. We expect her to stop and say "No!" but she doesn't.
  • Double Subverted: ...The "No!" comes after all, just later than we expected.
  • Parodied: Alice does indeed say "No!" in a way that would appear serious, but for the fact she is still laughing manically.
  • Zig Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Alice does not laugh, but gives a serious answer without using sarcasm.
  • Enforced: ???
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???

Hahahahahahahahaha... Get back to where you came from!
