An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Alice is talking about Bob, who will be entering the room shortly. Bob is generally a "nice" character. Alice does not like Bob, and says Bob is "such a phony", but as soon as Bob enters, Alice pretends to be nice to Bob, thus being as big a phony as she claimed Bob was. For example: A staple of sitcoms from the eighties to the nineties, but constant reuse has robbed the joke of its sting. You can still see it on contemporary shows, but the better written ones try to avoid it. Sub-trope of Hypocritical Humor. See also I Resemble That Remark. Examples of Such a Phony include:
