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.

Get the The Opt In And Out Bait And Switch Themug. 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)
