* [=ClockUp=]'s ''{{VisualNovel/Euphoria}}'' concerns a group of people locked in the middle of nowhere and forced to perform numerous sickening and depraved acts with and to each other - in short, exactly the opposite of euphoric.

** ItWillNeverCatchOn is when it does, in fact, catch on.

* ''VideoGame/LiesOfP'' has the ending named "And They All Lived Happily Ever After". Naturally, it is the bleakest of the three endings [[spoiler:and where more or less [[EverybodyDiesEnding everyone dies]].

* ''LightNovel/TheHeroIsOverpoweredButOverlyCautious'': The title of the series is based on how the POV character, Rista, perceives the hero, Seiya, as being far more cautious than common sense would dictate. However, most of Seiya's worries and countermeasures turn out to be justified when the demons keep using increasingly ruthless and cunning tactics that would have killed a less prepared hero, making him sufficiently cautious rather than overly cautious.

* The episode of ''LightNovel/ReZero'' titled "Self-Proclaimed Knight Subaru Natsuki", in which Subaru [[spoiler: makes a fool of himself and Emilia by proclaiming himself to be her knight, insults all the other knights when Julius mocks him for his behavior and inexperience and gets escorted out by Emilia herself]]. The episode ends with the aforementioned title card.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xV-WIUsrt8 Fire Emblem Engage Is Maddeningly Easy]]" is a video about A Boy playing ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage''(which is considered one of the harder games in the franchise) and frequently losing units or otherwise struggling on maps, often after TemptingFate.

Compare IronicEpisodeTitle (when the contrast between title and content is one of mood rather than message), IsntItIronic (with which this trope often overlaps) and DeceptivelySillyTitle.

* "God Save the Queen" by the Music/TheSexPistols pulls the same trick with the British ''[[RefugeInAudacity national anthem]]''.

* Music/TheRollingStones song "Sympathy for the Devil" is a VillainSong about {{Satan}} singing about all the evil he's caused throughout history, and doesn't portray him sympathetically at all.
