Added DiffLines:
'''Basic Trope''': Something that's deliberately put in to mislead viewers.
* '''Straight''': Somebody murdered Alice. Bob has a knife and doesn't seem to care that Alice is dead, but he's not the murderer; Charles is.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob has a knife and doesn't care about Alice being dead, Charles wanted Alice's money, Darren had a vendetta against Alice, Emily is the only one without an alibi, and Fred has killed people before. The real murderer was ''Gary''.
* '''Downplayed''':
* '''Justified''': Bob was deliberately trying to make himself look like the killer because he wanted Charles, who's his friend, to get away.
* '''Inverted''':
* '''Subverted''': Bob has a knife and he doesn't care that Alice is dead... then it turns out Charles was the killer... except the police made a mistake and it ''was'' Bob.
* '''Double Subverted''': ...That was ''another'' mistake. The real killer was Darren.
* '''Parodied''': One of the suspects is a literal red herring.
* '''Zigzagged''':
* '''Averted''': Bob is the only suspect, and he does turn out to be the killer.
* '''Enforced''': "If we have Bob be the killer, it'd be a CaptainObviousReveal. Better shake things up a bit."
* '''Lampshaded''': "So Bob was a red herring all along!"
* '''Invoked''': Charles frames Bob.
* '''Exploited''':
* '''Defied''':
** Charles comes clean.
** Bob tries not to act suspicious.
* '''Discussed''': "So, did Bob do it or is the real killer hiding behind our noses?"
* '''Conversed''': "Who do you think the murderer was? Bob's being a bit suspicious, but that could be a red herring."
* '''Implied''':
* '''Deconstructed''':
* '''Reconstructed''':
* '''Played for Laughs''': The mystery was who ate a cake that was meant to be for later, and somehow the culprit is the only one ''without'' cake on their face.
* '''Played for Drama''':
* '''Played for Horror''': Bob didn't kill Alice... a demon did!
