* LetsPlay/PartyCrashers: During a round of Animation in their second ''Gartic Phone'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YOkSJdZEzg video]], Sophist decides to recreate a moment from their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VMniPDc8qg first collaboration]] with [[https://www.youtube.com/@MagicTheNoah Magic the Noah]], where he casts Thunder Spell on a little girl, with Nick continuing it in his drawing. Brent on the the other hand decides to derail it by having the little girl [[AttackReflector deflect the attack with a shield]], with Vernias then finishing it off with the reflected spell [[HoistByHisOwnPetard killing Sophist instead]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'': The early arc ''Thematic Arc of Questionable Quality'' featured a trilogy homages to ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'', most of which ran smoothly. The exception is [[https://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2008/10/08/philosophical-quandaries-must-wait/ 'Philosophical Quandries Must Wait']], which prevented the classic 'riding a wagon down a hill' gag by reason of Babylon Gardens not having any hills steep enough to ride down.

* Related to the "Manijak" example, the video it was homaging was in itself a homage. Music/{{Miserable}} was inspired as a homage to Film/AttackOfThe50FtWoman. However that movie didn't end with Nancy [[spoiler: eating a bunch of people.]]

--->'''Johnathan:''' Dio! How many souls have you consumed!!?\\

'''Johnathan:''' I-- [[DoubleTake Hold on, What?...]]\\

'''Johnathan:''' Oh yeah! No, don't worry about it; I do it all the time.

* ''WebVideo/SwordArtOnlineAbridged'': The scene of the BigBad [[spoiler:Kayaba]] revealing how he no longer remembers his motive from the original is at first played straight... until [[TakeThat Kirito points out how stupid it actually is]], [[spoiler:to which Kayaba reveals he's just playing with him.]]
-->'''[[spoiler:Kayaba]]:''' You know, it's funny... I don't even remember anymore...\\

'''[[spoiler:Kayaba]]:''' Haha! Oh my god, no! Could you imagine? Two years and ''that's what I give you?!'' MAN, that'd be unsatisfying!

* In ''VideoGame/TouhouKoumakyouTheEmbodimentOfScarletDevil'', in Marisa's path, Remilia asks Marisa how many slices of bread she's eaten in her life, after the latter asks how many humans she has eaten, mimicking the scene from JoJo's bizarre adventure where a similar question is asked. Then Marisa reveals she has only ever eaten 13 slices of bread

* Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse:
** In ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'', Cap finds out that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been infiltrated by Hydra and, in one iconic scene, finds himself in an elevator full of Hydra agents. Of course this ends in a badass fight scene where Cap beats up everyone in the elevator and escapes.
** In ''Film/AvengersEndgame'', Cap goes back in time to before ''Winter Soldier'' on a mission to retrieve [[MacGuffin Loki's Scepter]]. He tracks it down to an elevator, where it's in possession of the same Hydra agents from before. At first it seems like the fight will play out like before until Cap confidently declares [[FakeDefector "Hail HYDRA"]] and takes the scepter away without incident.

A form of BaitAndSwitch where a scene appears to be a homage of a scene from another work, or even a work of the same series, only to completely subvert itself for shock or humor. By its nature, it can also double as either a CallBack or ShoutOut.

* ''Film/{{Nope}}'': After chimpanzee Gordy attacks and mauls the other members of the cast of ''Gordy's Home'', he spots child actor Jupe hiding behind a table, looking at him through a tablecloth. Perhaps because Jupe is not looking at Gordy directly in the eyes, the chimp doesn't attack him but extends a fist at him through the cloth to offer him a fist bump, which was an in-universe SignatureScene. It's also a CallBack to an iconic image from ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' where Elliot and E.T. touch fingers. However, when Jupe and Gordy's fist touch, the chimp is shot dead.

* "Manijak" by the Serbian music group "Moda Band" is a deliberate homage and WholePlotReference to Music/{{Miserable}} by Music/{{Lit}} with the band singing for a GiantWoman while she lets them [[ColossusClimb explore her body.]] Towards the end of the video the woman picks up one of the guys, who reacts with shock. It seems like they are about to re-enact Miserable's [[EatenAlive infamous]] [[EverybodyDiesEnding ending]], but instead she just puts him and his band mates one-by-one into a little heart-shaped box and closes the lid, clearly wanting to keep them as her little musicians forever instead of devouring them. Making this a rare homage derailment with a ''happier'' alternate ending than the original (at least for those on the band's side).

* In ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind''[='s=] ''Bloodmoon'' expansion, the Bjorn ice cave has a skeleton stuck hanging upside down from the ceiling with a sword out of reach below. Unlike Luke in ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', who used the force to retrieve his light saber and escape, this unlucky adventurer could not.

** ''Indiana Jones: Kingdom of the Crystal Skull'': One of the first action sequences from the film, where Indy survives a nuclear test launch by hiding in a fridge, gets completely subverted where he comes out of the fridge burnt and horrifically mangled. BlackComedy at its finest.
