A [[Flash Back]] is thrown to by a piece of dialogue that gives you the impression you'll know what the story is, but then produces a comic effect by surprising you.
 
May include an [[Unreliable Voiceover]]. Related to [[Self -Serving Memory]].

'''Amanda''': ''[shoving the girl to the floor]'' Out of the way, skank! }}
* ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'', "The Unicorn and the Wasp": As each of the party guests says what they were doing at the time of the murder, their flashbacks show them doing something different (for example, that's not ''tea'' Lady Eddison is drinking...). A [[Genre Savvy]] viewer can spot the murderer as {{spoiler|the one person whose flashback doesn't show him doing something suspicious.}}
** During the same sequence, one of the characters has a flashback inside the flashback ... which the Doctor tells him to stop doing.
** Earlier in "The Runaway Bride" Donna says it was Lance who asked to marry her, and that he was insistent. That's not exactly what happened...
