What do you call it when someone ACTS like they're a prankster, when they're really just a cruel, spiteful bully whose pranks are a source of amusement to themselves alone, who defends their actions with "Lighten up, man, where's your sense of humour?" when called out on it? Is that just a subversion, or is there an entirely different trope for it?
