Got Your Expectations

''Oh, yeah? Well, I got your nose!''

When a scene plays with what the audience expects to get them by surprise. Audience members will sometimes use Meta Knowledge gained from previous franchises to predict what comes next in the one they're currently experiencing. To prevent them from being right, creators with higher Meta Knowledge will purposefully deviate from what they believe the audience thinks is happening. Got Your Expectations is a helpful tool for dealing with predictable situations like UnTrashes that seemingly only have one ending or plots that have been played nearly unanimously. As useful as it may be, relying on it too heavily will cause the UnTrash itself to become foreseeable and lose its potency. This is especially painful if Got Your Expectations is used as a joke in such UnTrashes as Instant Contradiction or Fake-Out Joke.
