Bait and Switch

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)

chicken switch

noun. A device by which a high-voltage switches and breakers can be flipped using a corded remote from a marked distance away instead of directly manipulating the switch. Clothing can also be used by the switch operator, but "higher powers" (like your boss) insist on keeping people out of the line of fire. Also known as a remote actuation device.

That breaker has 2,000 volts? We're going to need a chicken switch to flip that; I don't want to get cooked.
