The trope is about someone in a position of power over the hero listing all the mistakes they made, then praising them for a heroic act that forgives all of that. This just simply ''does not have'' have the second part.

The one form of playing with that ''might'' be applied is ParodiedTrope, as that seems to be the catch-all for any instance of deriving humor from twisting a trope (though most examples given in PlayingWith subpages seem to be mixes of {{Exaggerated}} and PlayedForLaughs, I think the definition of {{Parodied}} may actually be more flexible than that).

But I still think that even that is a stretch. Clearly some people seem to disagree, feeling certain that this ''must'' be a deliberate attempt to reference this trope in some way, but to me it seems less like an attempt to lampoon the ArsonMurderAndLifesaving trope, and more like just a sarcastic remark that flows organically from and is simply [[PeopleSitOnChairs incidental to]] the very straightforward she-screwed-up-and-now-the-boss-is-chewing-her-out scene, and that any resemblence is coincidental.

As for those PlayingWith subpages for tropes, don't trust them too much. They aren't rigorously vetted in the same way that the trope definitions themselves are via the TropeLaunchPad process. Examples are often shoehorned, failing to fit the actual definition of the various methods of PlayingWithATrope, because it's often the case that their initial creation involves one editor trying to fill in as many of the PlayingWithATrope subtypes as possible even if good examples are hard to come up with, and their low editing traffic means their initial problems tend to be fixed and improved very rarely and sporadically.

As for those PlayingWith subpages for tropes, don't trust them too much. They aren't rigorously vetted in the same way that the trope definitions themselves are via the TropeLaunchPad process. Examples are often shoehorned, failing to fit the actual definition of the various methods of PlayingWithATrope, because it's often the case that their initial creation involves one editor trying to fill in as many of the PlayingWithATrope subtypes as possible even if good examples are hard to come up with, and their low traffic means their initial problems tend fixed and improved at a very slow rate.

It can be very tempting to list a situation which appears similar to the trope as an example [[SquarePegRoundTrope even if it fails a critical criterion]] of the trope.TropesAreFlexible, but not infinitely so.

As detailed in the article on SquarePegRoundTrope, it can be very tempting to list a situation which appears similar to the trope as an example even if it fails a critical criterion of the trope. TropesAreFlexible, but not infinitely so.
