A form of humor where the audience expects something obvious to happen, but then something else happens/appears out of nowhere.
Bait and Switch Example:
(ASDF)
Bully: "Hey, you four-eyed freak!"
Guy with glasses: "Ah..."
(The screen zooms out, revealing a third person; a midget who LITERALLY has four eyes)
"...Don't listen to him!"
(The guy with four eyes screeches at him)

Get the Baiting mug.Queer baiting is a marketing strategy that utilizes fictional media and/or entertainment to draw attention to LGBT/Queer members in order to benefit and/or make money while attracting the attention of more people.
Person A: Have you heard about the celebrity who posted a sexually suggestive photo of themselves with other females with the statement "I love girls"?
Person B: Yeah, it's a little odd because she isn't even a lesbian? It's like Queer-Baiting.

Get the Queer-Baiting mug.The efforts of politicians, and the media to generate support of the masses by stating that their right to speak, act, and think as they wish is somehow threatened by a certain person, group, or nation.
The war hawks and the elite-owned media will soon begin their freedom-baiting to drum up the support of the easily duped masses.

Get the freedom-baiting mug.One of the more common forms of shitposting. A video with something on the cover that will make you click on it. (eg. an anime girl in a bikini) Then the actual video is a shitpost, usually making fun of you for being a horny bastard or sudden ear rape.
Guy 1: Did you see the new video someone posted in #nsfw? I heard it's really saucy.
Guy 2: It's just a bait and switch. I was expecting boobs but instead got my ears blown off by Scout from TF2.
