^ I am having trouble distinguishing the tropes. Where would these examples go and why? 
* ''Series/BabylonFive'': Shortly after Sheridan's return to the station from Z'ha'dum: "Hey, I heard that you three [Ivanova, Lyta, and Delenn] went to Z'ha'dum after me. That was foolish and dangerous. And I can't thank you enough for trying."
* ''Film/DumbAndDumber'', when Lloyd traded their van for an extremely tiny mini-bike:
-->'''Harry:''' You know, Lloyd, just when I thought you couldn't possibly get any dumber, you go and do something like ''this.'' [{{Beat}}] ...and '''''totally redeem yourself!'''''
* ''Series/{{Castle}}''; his response to learning that the "murder" he witnessed across the street was staged as part of a birthday surprise for him (especially since the reveal comes mere minutes after seeing Beckett struggle with a man holding a carving knife):
-->"This is... without a doubt... the greatest birthday gift of my life!"

The trope quote and image of BaitAndSwitchComment are the inversion or BerateAndSwitch as mentioned in OP above. They probably have to be moved here to avoid confusion where to place those kind of examples.
