Contrast TheWorfBarrage, which ''does'' do something big... which is ''then'' [[NoSell laughed off]]. JokeItem and JokeCharacter are the item/character versions. A ClippedWingAngel is a similarly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] transformation, but is not always humorous. If all your fighting skill is like this, then WhatTheFuAreYouDoing. BrandishmentBluff is when a character threatens someone with an ability or weapon that isn't actually real. HeartIsAnAwesomePower is when a power - that would become this if used to attack directly - is put to creative and effective use. Can be {{Subverted}} with YouAreAlreadyDead, where the attack seems to do nothing, but its serious effects are about to be felt.

* ''Manga/OnePunchMan'':
** All of [[FakeUltimateHero King's]] moves are this, since he doesn't actually have any fighting skills or supernatural abilities (except perhaps [[BornLucky incredible luck]]). The dreaded "King Engine" is just the sound of his heartbeat when he's terrified, and his "King Style Ultimate Hellfire Burst Wave Motion Cannon" is nothing but a bluff (although when he did actually try to use it, it just happened to coincide with Garou wrecking his targets at super speed, making it look like it actually worked).
