The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

Would fall under Bait-and-Switch Comment or possibly Metaphorgotten I think.

Thanks a lot Bait-and-Switch Comment would be the best. Not necessarily Metaphorgotten because the metaphor is still valid, is just not the one you were expecting.
Is there a trope when someone is setting up an obvious metaphor, but then makes a completely different conclusion than expected?
