Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': A statement with no deeper meaning is mistaken for something meaningful.
* '''Straight''': Bob mentions that [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb a platypus is controlling him]]. Alice, Charlie, and Derek believe that this is a metaphor for the struggles of life, and praise him for coming up with such an interesting phrase. In reality, Bob [[ItMakesSenseInContext is actually being controlled by a platypus]].
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob's statement gets a OneHundredPercentApprovalRating and even becomes a widely used idiom.
* '''Downplayed''': Alice, Charlie, and Derek find the phrase interesting and somewhat more meaningful than it actually is, but decide not to dwell on it too much.
* '''Justified''':
** Alice, Charlie, and Derek tend to over-analyze statements.
** "Platypus" could easily be a metaphor for something strange, due to the oddity of the creature.
** Alice, Charlie, and Derek don't know that Bob is literally being controlled by a platypus.
* '''Inverted''': Bob tries to make a meaningful statement, but it comes out sounding meaningless.
* '''Subverted''': Alice, Charlie, and Derek learn that Bob actually was being controlled by a platypus.
* '''Double Subverted''': They still admire the statement anyway.
* '''Parodied''': Bob comes up with a song that [[WordSaladLyrics makes no sense whatsoever]]. It's hailed as more meaningful than the works of William Shakespeare and even inspires an AccidentalDanceSensation.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Alice finds the statement meaningful, Charlie is confused, and Derek thinks that Bob is being literal.
* '''Averted''': No statements are mistaken for being meaningful.
* '''Enforced''': RuleOfFunny.
* '''Lampshaded''': "I didn't mean for that to be so meaningful, but... SureLetsGoWithThat."
* '''Invoked''': Emily tells Bob to say a nonsensical phrase to a group of people, hoping they'll find it meaningful.
* '''Exploited''': Bob is excited about his newfound popularity, and uses that to his advantage.
* '''Defied''':
** Everyone finds Bob's statement silly or nonsensical.
** Bob outright says that a platypus is actually controlling him, and that he needs help.
* '''Discussed''': "What do you think that metaphor could mean?"
* '''Conversed''': "I wonder why they think that has such a deep meaning."
* '''Deconstructed''': Because everyone thinks that Bob is only metaphorically being controlled by a platypus, they don't actually help him out.
