He tells Luis, playing ThePaladin, that he doesn't need to roll for his Holy Avenger. [[spoiler: This is because the sword is corroded and unmade ''instantly'', with NoSavingThrow]].

A character who is told they'll get "what's coming to you" or "your just deserts" is almost ''always'' on the receiving end of this trope. At this point, in fact, such [[DeadHorseTrope lines feature almost exclusively in comedies]], since it's just too implausible that characters in a serious drama (i.e. responding to dangerous situations with appropriate caution) wouldn't recognize the threatening subtext behind such phrasing.

The key trope to many a DealWithTheDevil. Subtrope to DoubleMeaning. Compare ProphecyTwist, NoManOfWomanBorn (where a prophecy of triumph or doom gives False Reassurance to its target because it seems like it can never come true), MetaphoricallyTrue, ExactWords, StealthInsult, and YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo. See also NewEraSpeech and WorryingForTheWrongReason. The SelfPoisoningGambit often relies on this. Contrast SuspiciouslySpecificDenial, AssuranceBackfire, and EmptyPromise.

* PlayedForLaughs in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNO3QqpcUH8 this video]] from Mark Angel Comedy. A woman tells her friend Kachi that she's getting fat, and the larger woman [[IAmBigBoned denies it]], calling for a passing little girl named Emanuella to back her up. The child takes a look and remarks "You're not getting fat"--then immediately follows up with "You're ALREADY fat!" Emanuella then [[YouAreFat cracks some fat jokes]] about the situation, much to Kachi's frustration and her friend's delight.

* Music/{{Jhariah}}: On "Not So Bad" from ''The Great Tale of How I Ruined It All'', the protagonist tries to cope with the cult's takeover by convincing himself that maybe he ''should'' cave in, and it won't be such a big deal: "It's [[TitleDrop not so bad]], it's just the end of the world." He ultimately doesn't, because a part of him still resists it.

* The Mongols had a habit of telling the captured leaders of the cities they conquered that none of their blood would be spilled. Which was technically true -- the Mongols were extremely superstitious about shedding the blood of those of noble birth, and killed them in ways such as rolling them up in a carpet and beating them to death or tossing them into rivers in a felt sack.

Needless to say, [[LawfulEvil a villain who prides himself]] [[VillainsNeverLie on his honesty]] considers this good form ("Alice can't come to the phone right now. She's [[BoundAndGagged all tied up]] [[ObligatoryJoke at the moment]]"), but it's not strictly a villainous trope. Heroic characters can give False Reassurance, too; particularly when they have a secret to keep, but [[CannotTellALie can't]] or [[WillNotTellALie won't]] [[BlatantLies lie to their loved ones' faces]]. For example, [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Clark Kent]] might tell Lois Lane, "Don't worry. Clark Kent won't be seen outside this tropical resort," which does not bar ''Superman'' from going to investigate the mysterious temple.
