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)
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.
Term taken from "Swamp People" but used in a different context... means that your private parts are not very clean and probably quite stinky and just plain nasty
Hey did the dog poop in here or are you just Hangin' Bait ?
Something that is said for the sole purpose of setting someone off. The person then deflates and de-escalates the situation by that what was said was trigger bait.
Person 1: Whiplash is such a mid movie.
Person 2: Okay well that's clearly trigger bait.
Religion baiting is a sub genre of fear baiting. It is type of content that usually starts with “scroll if you hate Jesus”. Which uses Religion as a way to stop you. And it uses fear of going to hell as a way to make you watch the video. The content creator then proceeds to tell you to comment, like, and subscribe if you love Jesus. It makes kids interact with their video pushing it to more people.
Some of the worst people on earth: “I have an idea! I should use Religion baiting to get more subscribers on my shitty Roblox YouTube Shorts account.”
A method of baiting people into liking or subscribing into a channel by using religion. Examples: Like and subscribe if you love Jesus!
I caught a YouTuber religion baiting.
