* In the ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' episode, "Gang Busters", this exchange between Buster and Plucky occurs when the former beats the latter at a game of ''VideoGame/{{Pong}}''. Given [[WesternAnimation/BugsBunny the Characters on]] [[WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck whom they're based]], it should come as no surprise:
-->'''Plucky:''' Hey, you cheated!\\
'''Buster:''' I did not!\\
'''Plucky:''' Did too!\\
'''Buster:''' Did not!\\
'''Plucky:''' Did too!\\
'''Buster:''' Did too!\\
'''Plucky:''' Did not!\\
'''Buster:''' Right!
* Parodied in the ''WesternAnimation/GoAwayUnicorn'' "Stop Stirring the Pot, Unicorn!" episode, when Alice is about to season her roast duck and is deciding on what seasoning to use:
-->'''Alice''': What can I use to make this duck unique? Something other than duck seasoning. [[LampshadeHanging Rabbit seasoning, duck seasoning, rabbit seasoning...]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' ChristmasSpecial, Suzy pulls this trick on Johnny, and tells him, [[PersonAsVerb "I just Bugs-Bunnied you!"]]
* A non-verbal variation of this trope happens in the WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck cartoon ''[[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Lighthouse Keeping]]''. A pelican keeps blowing out the candle in a lighthouse's light, and Donald promptly re-lights it. After a few rounds of this, the pelican takes the lighter from Donald and re-lights the candle, causing Don to blow out the candle.
* Used by Baby Bugs in ''WesternAnimation/BabyLooneyTunes'' (in a direct reference to "Rabbit Fire").
-->'''Baby Daffy:''' Hmm ... I'd better remember that trick [[CallForward in case he tries it on me again someday]].
* ''WesternAnimation/LoonaticsUnleashed'' had the team's leader Ace Bunny (Bugs' 27th century descendant) use this trick twice.
** Ace first does it in the premiere episode "Loonatics on Ice" to trick Gunnar the Conqueror into saying he won't conquer their planet.
** He does it again in "It Came from Outer Space" when he tricks Melvin the Martian into holding onto an explosive he intended to use on Ace.
* This is done in ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', when in a dream, Helga tricks Arnold into marrying her this way.

* Done in the ''WesternAnimation/ElTigreTheAdventuresOfMannyRivera'' episode "The Good, the Bad, and the Tigre":
-->'''White Pantera:''' This is your fault!
-->'''Puma Loco:''' Your fault!
-->'''White Pantera:''' Your fault!
-->'''Puma Loco:''' My fault!
-->'''White Pantera:''' My faul--''your fault!''
-->'''Puma Loco:''' HA! I tricked you.
* [[FunPersonified Pinkie]] [[NoFourthWall Pie]] does this in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' episode "Putting Your Hoof Down", when haggling with a tomato vendor who made Fluttershy pay two bits instead of one for her produce. As usual, the vendor doesn't realize that she's inadvertently agreed to one bit per order until it's too late. She does it ''again'' when convincing Iron Will to wait a full day instead of half a day before trying to collect the fees for his assertiveness training from Fluttershy. Meanwhile, Fluttershy's attempt to do this on a cherry vendor [[EpicFail fails so badly]] that she almost paid more than what it was originally priced.
* The episode of ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' "Jack's Back" has an unusual role-playing version of this trope. Hayley takes a job at Roger's bar to get her internship credit, but he refuses to sign her form, using his love of costumes and role-playing to scare her off. Hayley fights fire with fire, resulting in a sequence of rapid costume changes between Eastern European gangsters, a genius Amish boy, and [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a time-travelling half bull/half human]]. Eventually Roger dresses as Hayley and tries to undo the whole thing by proclaiming it "just a figment of my drug-addled imagination"; Hayley responds by dressing as Roger and saying she still won't sign the form, which prompts Roger to forge '''his own signature''' on the paper. Hayley takes the form, says "Pleasure doing business with you," and walks away grinning.
-->'''Roger:''' ... What just happened? Did I win?
* Short version done in ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', to UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein of all people, who won't buy any of the Warner kids' cookies.
-->'''Yakko:''' Fine, if you don't want any cookies then just leave.
-->'''Einstein:''' I'm not going to leave, this is my house.
-->'''Yakko:''' Alright then, ''you'' leave.
-->'''Einstein:''' [[HouseAmnesia Fine]]. ''[heads out the door]''
* ''WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse'': While fighting Khyber, Rath remarks that it's "Khyber the Huntsman season", while Khyber retorts that it's "Appoplexian season." The back-and-forth continues even while they're fighting, but Khyber defeats Rath with a [[PressurePoint hephaestan neuro grip]].
* In one ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' episode, Genie fails at giving Rajah a bath, and Aladdin makes fun of him for being scared.
-->'''Aladdin:''' Come on, admit it. Your eyes were this big! You were scared.
-->'''Genie:''' Was not.
-->'''Aladdin:''' Were too.
-->'''Genie:''' Was not.
-->'''Aladdin:''' Were too.
-->'''Genie:''' Was not.
-->'''Aladdin:''' Was not.
-->'''Genie:''' Were too. [[ActorAllusion D'oh]]!
* In The ''WesternAnimation/DonkeyKongCountry'' episode "A Thin Line Between Love and Ape", a fight involving a love potion ensues. One dose creates love, but a second dose causes hate, and so K.Rool and DK end up spraying Klump and Krusha, causing them to switch from love to hate for their boss. Near the end, DK just ''says'' "Psst" and K.Rool reflexively sprays Klump and Krusha...filling them with hate. Unfortunately, the sprayer's run out of potion, forcing K.Rool to flee from his enraged lackies.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa'' episode "Amusement Bark", when the titular characters arrive at a water themed amusement park and argue over what to do first, Pumbaa pulls this on Timon, resulting in a [[DoubleSubvertedTrope Double Subversion]].
--> '''Timon:''' I want to ride the log flume.
--> '''Pumbaa:''' I want to buy a souvenir.
--> '''Timon:''' I want to ride the log flume.
--> '''Pumbaa:''' I want to buy a souvenir.
--> '''Timon:''' I want to ride the log flume.
--> '''Pumbaa:''' I want to ride the log flume.
--> '''Timon:''' I want to buy a souve- ah, ah, ah, Pumbaa. That ol' switcheroo reversal trick won't work on ''moi.''
--> '''Pumbaa:''' What switcheroo reversal trick might that be, Timon?
--> '''Timon:''' Then one where you start saying that ''you'' want to ride the log flume. Well, we're doing what ''I'' want, Mr. Smarty Pig, and we're buying a souvenir.
* In ''WesternAnimation/PeppermintRose'', when Buddy Bug goes back on his word and tries to eat Rose, she confuses him by mixing up "gonna stay" and "gonna go," making him eject her from the trap.
* ''WesternAnimation/JellyJamm'': In "Goomo's Birthday", Bello tries to convince Goomo he's getting tired and should go home to rest after trying to get his friends to remember his "special day". Goomo asserts he's not tired, and Bello states that yes, he is, with the same response. Bello then says Goomo ''isn't'' tired, to which Goomo replies he is tired and wants to go home, which is exactly what he does afterwards.
* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderHamCaughtInAHam'', an animated short for ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', has ComicBook/SpiderHam, stuck in the traditional shackled-to-a-table-with-a-slowly-approaching-laser position, getting into this kind of argument with the villain who stuck him there. In an impressive feat of ToonPhysics, when the switcheroo takes place in the argument, Ham and the villain ''physically switch places'', leaving the villain stuck in his own deathtrap.
* ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'': In "Freaks & Greeks", this gets parodied:
-->'''Ling-Ling:''' Ling-Ling deserve the money. Not you, filthy srut!
-->'''Toot:''' Hey, I'm no slut! I earned this money! I've been letting Jun-Jee ram his tank into my Chinaman square! Sadly, he always ignored the little student.
-->'''Ling-Ling:''' I don't care! It's Ling-Ling money!
-->'''Toot:''' No, it's my money!
-->'''Ling-Ling:''' It's Ling-Ling money!
-->'''Toot:''' It's my money!
-->'''Ling-Ling:''' It's Ling-Ling money!
-->'''Toot:''' It's my money!
-->'''Ling-Ling:''' Duck season!

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10399961/20/Time-Turned-Back Time Turned Back]]'' Gabriel walks into the Great Hall while wearing a Bugs Bunny costume and proceeds to argue with James about which house has the better Quidditch team.

Two characters are having an ArgumentOfContradictions, an argument that eventually degenerates into something like "Am not!" "Are too!" One of them pretends to take up their opponent's position, and when their opponent takes up ''their'' position out of mindless contrariness, the switcher manages to win the argument, while the latter realizes too little too late that they have been tricked.

A rarer example will be the use of props with sound effects (e.g., a light switch) that will be turned on and off each time the sound effect is used. The pretender makes a (usually very bad) mimicking of the sound and will trick his opponent into switching the device to rivaling position.

'''Bugs:''' Duck season!!\\
'''Daffy:''' Wabbit season!!\\
'''Bugs:''' ''Wabbit season!''\\
'''Daffy:''' Duck season!!!\\
'''Bugs:''' Wabbit season!!!\\
'''Daffy:''' I say it's Duck season, and I say, FIRE!\\

-->-- ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' "WesternAnimation/RabbitFire" (1951)

This gag depends on the antagonist getting so caught up in the heat of the moment that they will act without thinking of their actual goals. Thus it shows up in many old "screwball" cartoons and live-action situation comedies.

* In [[https://drdomo-gem.tumblr.com/post/695866562915303424/sandman-vs-satan-in-extreme-rock-paper-scissors this]] fan comic of Dream's duel with Lucifer in ''Series/TheSandman'', the Oldest Game starts out similarly, until Lucifer creates a boulder to crush Dream's bear. Dream counters with a piece of paper to cover Lucifer's rock, and they get into a cycle of rock-paper-scissors. Three hours later, Dream counters Lucifer's rock with a bottomless pit instead of a piece of paper, and Lucifer automatically responds with scissors. Dream wins, and while Lucifer is yelling that he cheated, he throws sand in their face, grabs his helm, and runs.

* The first episode of ''LightNovel/StudentCouncilsDiscretion'' uses this with Kurimu stamping approval forms and Ken saying "UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}}" (which she is) every time she says "approved." Then he switches.

** Also done in 1948's ''WesternAnimation/HaredevilHare'', between Bugs and Marvin Martian's dog K-9, over who takes Marvin's Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modula'''''TOR''''' (hey, that's thlie way he says it).

* Mr. Mighty does this to Jane in ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes''. The first time he meets her [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/1991184/yes-youre-not/ with his mask off]], he tells her that his real name is Marion, and adds, "It's OK, you can laugh." She denies laughing, and he questions her denial... hey, she needs all the laughs she can get [[spoiler: when she's in prison]].

** Another variant between Jon and Liz happens in [[https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2020/05/17 the May 17, 2020 strip]], this time involving what they should do on their date. Jon wants to go see a monster movie, while Liz wants to go to a craft fair and wins the argument by saying "Monster movie" to trick Jon into replying with "Craft fair".

* ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/14113885/1/The-Good-the-Bugs-and-the-Daffy The Good, the Bugs, and the Daffy]]'' [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes naturally]] uses this combined with an ImprobableAimingSkills-off between Bugs and Yosemite Sam, though [[NoNonsenseNemesis Marvin]] [[SubvertedTrope sees right through it.]]

* WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry episode "WesternAnimation/TheYankeeDoodleMouse" did it silently. It involved a lit firecracker being handed off. Tom and Jerry were both frantically shoving the firecracker to each other before ''[[RefugeInAudacity Jerry grabs the firecracker from Tom]]''. Then they start ''[[UpToEleven stealing the explosive from each other]]'' (instead of doing something sensible like [[TakeAThirdOption pinching out the fuse]]), with Tom (naturally) ending up with it.

** One of Gene Deitch's shorts has this done with a basement; every time Tom descends down the stairs to get to Jerry, Jerry turns off the light, forcing Tom to climb back up and switch it on. Eventually, Jerry merely makes a 'Click' noise, Tom shakes his fist at him, then climbs back up, switches the light off, tries to descend and promptly tumbles down the stairs.

-->'''Ling-Ling: Ling-Ling deserve the money. Not you, filthy slut!

'''Deadpool:''' ''[slams the table]'' ''Get outta my head!''* ''Futtock's End'': In this "silent" Ronnie Barker comedy, the house staff is dancing to a record player, yet every time they hear the butler enter behind them they quickly revert to silently polishing the silver. Until the butler comes in twice in quick succession, whereupon they are tricked into dancing when the butler is present and polishing the silver when he leaves.

* ''Franchise/{Asterix}}'': One of ''WesternAnimation/TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix'' involves being able to resist the hypnotic gaze of Iris the magician. Iris tries to hypnotize Asterix into believing he's a wild boar, but keeps getting distracted by the Gaul's comments about his GlowingEyes like "How do you do that?", "Can you make them light up one at a time?" and "They must be handy for reading in bed." Eventually, Iris becomes so confused he resorts to RepeatAfterMe.

Two characters are having an ArgumentOfContradictions, an argument that eventually degenerates into something like "Am not!" "Are too!" One of them pretends to take up their opponent's position, and when their opponent takes up ''their'' position out of mindless contrariness, the switcher manages to win the argument.

* At one point, Creator/CartoonNetwork had a number of advertising spots in which two live-action brothers reproduced classic cartoon spots. One of their ads was this routine... Done in a way that couldn't possibly work in real life.
-->"It's mine."
-->"No, it's mine."
-->"It's mine."
-->"It's mine."
-->''[{{beat}}]''
-->"It's yours."
-->"No, it's yours."
-->"It's yours."
** In another Cartoon Network. commercial, a man tried to use this when his boss was firing him. After a minute of "No I'm not," "Yes you are," the man finally switched to "Yes I am." Unfortunately, it didn't work and the boss replied with "Yes ... you are." The {{Tagline}}: "[[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome You are not Bugs Bunny.]]"

'''The Doctor:''' ''(sing-song)'' No, you won't~!\\

'''Charlie Brown:''' ''(gets off)'' I'm sorry.\\
''(Charlie Brown thinks to himself in a beat panel, then runs after Patty in the last one)''\\

* Done in omake of Fanfic/MyHeroPlaythrough; after foiling multiple attempts by Shigaraki to get Nomu to attack him, Izuku uses this when Shigaraki order the attack by name:

* ''WebVideo/FiftyPercentOff'' lampshades the example between Nagisa and Gou in the original series by having Nagisa say "your ass just got looney-tuned" when he wins.

* [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] InUniverse in ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit'': Eddie uses this trick on Roger in order to get him to take [[ChekhovsGun a shot of bourbon]], and thus use [[CantHoldHisLiquor Roger's usual violent reaction to the stuff]] as a distraction so he and Roger can escape Judge Doom and his weasels. Eddie is GenreSavvy enough to know that Roger's toon nature ensures he will fall for it. Added bonus: the fact that [[spoiler: Doom can't resist contributing to the exchange ("He doesn't want the drink!") is {{Foreshadowing}} for who he really is.]]

* Toyed with in ''Film/LethalWeapon'':
-->'''Riggs:''' You're driving!\\
'''Murtaugh:''' I'm driving!\\
'''Riggs:''' No, ''you're'' driving!\\
'''Murtaugh:''' No, ''I'm'' driving!
* The UrExample may be Creator/LaurelAndHardy film ''Film/SonsOfTheDesert'' (1933). Ollie is arguing with his wife, Lottie, over whether he's going to spend the weekend attending a fraternity convention with Stanley or take her camping in the mountains. During the course of the argument, something like this pops up, though it's uncertain whether this is a deliberate trick on Ollie's part or something he inadvertently stumbles upon in his flustered state. It doesn't work, at any rate.
-->'''Ollie:''' I want this understood once and for all. I'm not going to the convention. I'm going to the mountains!\\
'''Lottie:''' That's just what I said, that you're not going to the mountains, that you're going to the ... that you're going to the mountains!
* Used in ''Film/AliGIndahouse'' when Ali is arguing with the East Staines Massiv whether West side or East side is best.
* A variation occurs in ''Film/TheMummy1999'', as Evey tries to barter for Rick O'Connell's life with the chief warden, using shares of (at that point still not discovered) the treasures of Hamunaptra as an incentive. Caught in the heat of the moment, the chief warden ends up asking less than what Evey was offering.
* One of ''WesternAnimation/TheTwelveTasksOfAsterix'' involves being able to resist the hypnotic gaze of Iris the magician. Iris tries to hypnotize Asterix into believing he's a wild boar, but keeps getting distracted by the Gaul's comments about his GlowingEyes like "How do you do that?", "Can you make them light up one at a time?" and "They must be handy for reading in bed." Eventually, Iris becomes so confused he resorts to RepeatAfterMe.
-->'''Iris:''' Repeat after me, "By Osiris and Apis, I am a wild boar. I am a wild boar!"\\
'''Asterix:''' You're a wild boar, you're a wild boar.\\
'''Iris:''' Yes! I'm a wild boar, a wild boar! ''[runs out of the tent on all fours, snorting]''
* Futtock's End: In this 'silent' Ronnie Barker comedy, the house staff is dancing to a record player, yet every time they hear the butler enter behind them they quickly revert to silently polishing the silver. Until the butler comes in twice in quick succession, whereupon they are tricked into dancing when the butler is present and polishing the silver when he leaves.
* Creator/TheMarxBrothers use this sort of switcheroo in ''Film/HorseFeathers:'' Chico's guarding the door of a speakeasy to which Groucho needs entrance. Groucho uses a variant to discover that ThePasswordIsAlwaysSwordfish: then ''he'' guards the door of the speakeasy while ''Chico'' has to guess the password.
--> '''Chico''' ''(immediately):'' Is it 'swordfish'?\\
'''Groucho:''' [[DefiedTrope No.]] We had to change it.
* Done in ''Film/{{Deadpool 2}}'', when Deadpool and Weasel are auditioning Domino for recruitment to his newly-formed X-Force:

'''Deadpool:''' ''[slams the table]'' ''Get outta my head!''
* In ''Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy'', Bud and Lou are in a restaurant with a pair of hamburgers, one of which has a cursed medallion hidden in it. They repeatedly distract each other and switch the plates. At one point, Lou keeps the medallion and leads Bud to think he moved it. Bud then ends up with the medallion while trying to get rid of it.

* Used in the last "boss" of the ''VideoGame/BlazingDragons'' adventure game. Flicker uses his first invention, the clicker (which was otherwise pointless for the whole game) to trick the evil wizard into exploding the transformed robotic evil dragon king, which they were inside at the time. Because the sound of the clicker was exactly the same sound as the switch on the self-destruct mechanism.

* The eponymous anti-hero of ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' typically calls [[ButtMonkey Luka]] "[[EmbarrassingNickname Cheshire]]", causing him to irritably remind Bayonetta, "[[Music/SuzanneVega my name is Luka]]!" So on one of the rare occasions she actually calls him Luka...
-->'''Luka''': "How many times must I tell you?! My name is Cheshire!"
* In the handheld version of ''VideoGame/TheUrbz'' the player uses this against [[BigBad Daddy Bigbucks]] when he's trying to investigate a secret meeting in the graveyard.

* ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'' [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2006/09/02/episode-738-completely-original/ did a variant]] during a WhosOnFirst story.
* Used with a straight face in [[http://girlyyy.com/go/624 this]] ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}'' comic.
* Mr. Mighty does this to Jane in ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes''. The first time he meets her [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/1991184/yes-youre-not/ with his mask off]], he tells her that his real name is Marion, and adds, "It's OK, you can laugh." She denies laughing, and he questions her denial... hey, she needs all the laughs she can get [[spoiler: when she's in prison]].
* Successfully used on main character Finn in ''Webcomic/SeaOfInsanity''. (Though Finn ''was'' very drunk at the time.)
* In ''WebComic/StrongFemaleProtagonist'', when [[FlyingBrick Allison]] persuades [[{{Telepathy}} Patrick]] to try watching a cartoon (as a workaround for his distaste for visual media in general), Patrick, roaring with laughter, [[ExpospeakGag explains this entire trope]] after viewing the eponymous gag:
-->'''Patrick:''' Tee-hee-hee! Daffy Duck's animosity towards the Bugs Bunny character is so intense, that he fails to see when Bugs has presented him an opportunity for victory! Instead of... of maintaining an awareness of the words being used, Daffy's rage is so blinding that he frames his statements [[CommanderContrarian in pure contrariness]] to Bugs', which results in his getting '''shot in the face! AHAHA!''' Had he been less angry, he might have acted on Bugs Bunny saying "Rabbit season," but he too strongly conflated his desire to disagree with his opponent and his desire to defeat him! And it was that very desire to disagree that prevented him from fulfilling his goal of outwitting Bugs Bunny, and in doing so saving himself from harm! The irony is staggering! Ahahahahahahaha!
