An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

Junior is in trouble. He tried to pull off the greatest prank he could think of, but it went horribly wrong -- mostly because he got caught. Now the principal has suspended him and he has to face his parents. In short, this trope is where a character expects to be dressed down by an authority figure, only to find out the authority figure is pretty impressed. What Junior did was still wrong, of course, but Dad doesn't care so much about that little detail. Examples of Chew Out Fake Out include:

  • Junior is in trouble. He tried to pull off the greatest prank he could think of, but it went horribly wrong -- mostly because he got caught. Now the principal has suspended him and he has to face his parents. His dad takes him aside and is giving him a stern look. Junior knows this is it, his chickens have come home to roost, he's going to be grounded until the cows come home, and he won't see daylight again until the hogs catch their 9 am flight to Miami. After an unbearable silence, dad has only one thing to say: He thinks what Junior did was hilarious, and he's pretty proud that he managed to pull it off. In short, this trope is where a character expects to be dressed down by an authority figure, only to find out the authority figure is pretty impressed. What Junior did was still wrong, of course, but Dad doesn't care so much about that little detail. If the authority in this case is an official one (commanding officer, for example), they'll likely give a reprimand that both parties recognize as a token nod to the rules. If it's a parent, it's almost always the father. Compare Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving, Not So Above It All, and Milholland Relationship Moment. May include Do Wrong Right if afterward the parent/authority gives the protagonist tips on how to not get caught next time. Examples of Chew Out Fake Out include:
