'''Basic Trope''': A game has a command that lets you fool superiors and coworkers into thinking that you're doing work instead of playing a game.
* '''Straight''': If you press Ctrl+B while playing ''Breakout Clone #13'', the game displays a fake spreadsheet.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Ctrl+B displays a fake spreadsheet, Ctrl+V displays a fake text document, Ctrl+F displays a fake presentation...
** Pressing Ctrl+B takes the player to a bare-bones, but functional spreadsheet program.
** Pressing Ctrl+B changes the game's theme to make it look like a spreadsheet program.
* '''Downplayed''': Pressing Ctrl+B kills the game instantly. While it's not that useful for making people think you're working, at least you can claim that whatever program you're supposed to be using just crashed.
* '''Justified''':
* '''Inverted''':
** Pressing Ctrl+B while using ''Generic Office Suite'' starts an EasterEgg minigame.
** The game normally masquerades as a spreadsheet program, but pressing Ctrl+B makes it look more like a standard Breakout clone.
* '''Subverted''': The manual tells you to press Ctrl+B if your boss is approaching. It turns out to display a screen that [[WhatTheHellPlayer chews you out for playing the game at work]].
* '''Double Subverted''': However, pressing Ctrl+B again will result in the game saying "fine, have it your way". Afterwards, Ctrl+B will display a fake spreadsheet.
* '''Parodied''':
** The spreadsheet keeps track of how much time the player has spent playing ''Breakout Clone #13'' instead of working.
** ''Breakout Clone #13'' is a [=PlayStation=] game.
** The "fake spreadsheet" is a terrible MS Paint drawing that won't fool anyone.
* '''Zig Zagged''':
* '''Averted''': There is no command to display a fake spreadsheet.
* '''Enforced''': The executives believe people are likely to play ''Breakout Clone #13'' at work, and make the devs add a command that'll (hopefully) let them get away with it.
