This particular instance seems like a Delayed Reaction plus Failed a Spot Check.

The reaction is also a Double Take.
Does anyone know what the trope name is for when a person is giving instructions to his team and then say the bad guy walks up and he starts to give instructions to him only to realize it's the villain often leading to hi jinx?
Like as an example in the What's New Scooby-Doo episode "The Unnatural" Fred is giving orders to the gang to stop the villain of the week the Baseball spectre leading to this exchange.
Fred: "Shaggy you and Scooby Create a diversion"
Shaggy: "Right"
Fred: "Daphne you and Velma will work your way to the other side and get to that control panel"
Velma and Daphne: "Check"
Baseball Spectre: "What about me?"
Fred: "Well you're gonna make your way over to the-"
The Gang screams
So yeah does that joke have a trope? What's it called?
