Double Entendre: Difference between revisions

* In one chapter of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' manga, Yugi is explaining to Jounouchi how to exchange information between their digital pets, so that they can grow stronger. In doing so, he uses the word "gattai", which means both "combination" and "copulation". Jounouchi answers saying that their pets must "kouhai", that means "cross-fertilize" or "mate". Next to them, Honda [[That Came Out Wrong|warns them that people might hear them and misunderstand]].

** The English version translated this as Jounouchi saying "Alright, Yugi! Let's you and I mate [our virtual pets] right away!" and Honda complaining "[[Brain Bleach|I didn't need to hear that...]]"

* At one point in the ''[[Zombie Powder]]'' manga, Gamma's opponent demands that he "pull out his piece". When Gamma draws his sword, he holds it upwards at a forty-five degree angle from his crotch.

* In ''[[Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt]]'', a good 80% of Panty's dialogue is this.

* Somewhat disturbing example: in ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'' volume 2, when Mina Murray learns that Hyde has taken care of the Invisible Man, he is quick to assure her that "I attended to his ''end''. Rest assured, it was... comfortable." Being a proper Victorian lady, Mina takes comfort in this assurance of a painless death, not twigging for a second that this ''actually'' means that {{spoiler|Hyde brutally sodomized the Invisible Man before beating him to death.}}

* In ''[[The Sandman]]'', a caption describes devil-turned-nightclub-owner Lucifer playing a medley of unreleased (fictional) Cole Porter songs that Porter only performed privately for friends, ending with "She Never Went Down on the Titanic." (Someone really needs to write the lyrics to that.)

* A storyline in ''[[Cable and Deadpool]]'' involved Deadpool's friend Weasel joining HYDRA under the very inspired name Penetrator (or, rather, Penetraitor). Predictably, this caused some choice dialogue.

{{quote|'''Henchman 1:''' It seems... I don't know... provocative.

'''Catwoman:''' What's the matter? No itches in the '''''front'''''? }}

* In a ''JLA Classified'' storyline where the Supervillain Blackguard is moving in next door. His real name is Richard Hurtz. But he prefers to be called Dick.

{{quote|'''[[Spider-Man]]:''' Anybody ever point out that you're a purple-headed invader, or has [[Stan Lee]] been laughing to himself for the last forty years?

'''Kang:''' Eh, you know Stan. }}

* Groucho Marx: ''[[Animal Crackers]]'' gives him the line "We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed." and has him present Margaret Dumont with a large wooden box. While describing it as "a magnificent chest", he accidentally points at her torso.

** Both lines are topped by when Groucho introduced a musical performance by Chico: "Signor Ravelli's first selection will be "Somewhere My Love Lies Sleeping" with a male chorus.'

** "So, did you and Ginny do it?"

* The female cop in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' speaks almost entirely in these, quite intentionally.

''Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! }}

** The original meaning of "despair" was that nobody could hope to equal his achievements, but seeing the statue in ruins, the reader might "despair" to find that all beings are mortal.

{{quote|'''Nanny Ogg:''' 'S called the Vieux River.

'''Granny Weatherwax:''' Yes?

** The witches aren't alone with this. Mustrum Ridcully calls the University organ "Our Mighty Organ". Much to the dismay of the rest of the wizards.

*** It's possible that one's [[Obfuscating Stupidity|purposefully done by Ridcully]].

**** That's because in ''Discworld'' the handy little thing has been named after its inventor as a 'sonky'. One of those [[Inherently Funny Words]].

* ''[[Thursday Next]]'' villains have these in their names (Jack Schitt even gets lampshaded). As does Daphne Farquitt.

* One Robert Rankin novel featured a woman who communicated entirely in Double Entendre, culminating in "that would be the blow job", referring to the job of blowing into a clogged nozzle to clear the blockage.

Harry moved into his usual position...

He came quickly, as if a white flag had come out of his wand. }}

{{quote|"She tasted disgusting, worse than Gurdyroots! Okay, Ron, come here so I can do you."}}

** After {{spoiler|Hermione kisses Ron during the Battle of Hogwarts, ending a big [[Will They or Won't They?]]}}, Harry asks if they "could just--just hold it in" until they {{spoiler|can find the diadem}}. He's talking mostly to {{spoiler|Ron}}.

** 'As the nearest bead of light moved nearer to Harry's wand tip, the wand beneath his fingers grew so hot he feared it would burst into flame. The closer that bead moved, the harder Harry's wand vibrated...'

** 'Something silver white, something enormous, erupted from the tip of his wand.'

*** [http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=194107497693 And another].

{{quote|Ron struggled for a moment before managing to extract his wand from his pocket.

* Ditto for ''[[Moon Mullins]]'', in which Emmy Schmaltz keeps trying to get young Kayo to turn off the TV and get to work on his homework. Kayo (repeatedly): "Just a sec, Emmy!"—which results in an exasperated: "No, Kayo! No more 'secs!'"—much to the surprise of Lord Plushbottom (speaking of double entendres) in the next room.

* The newspaper comic ''[[Cathy]]'' once featured the line than an off panel character was "in the restroom, giving the copier repairman a swirlie." The artist, Cathy Guisewite, was stunned that many readers thought that was a reference to oral sex, because she had always heard a "swirlie" was dunking someone's head in a toilet and flushing.

{{quote|'''Maya:''' You really love to show that thing off, don't you? Who knows how many times you've shown it to me?

'''Phoenix:''' She's right. I whip it out at the drop of a hat. }}

{{quote|'''April May:''' I like a man with a big... vocabulary.

'''Phoenix Wright:''' I'll get to [[Freudian Slip|this woman's bottom!]] Er, you know what I mean... }}

* Ashe in ''[[Mega Man ZX Advent]]'': "Now that your appetites are whet for booty..."

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoODv8LVib8 This scene] from ''Ar Tonelico''.

{{quote|'''Kaidan:''' If things don't go well, I want you to know - [[It Has Been an Honor|I've enjoyed serving under you]].

'''[[Player Character|Shepard]]:''' Kaidan, I don't think I've had the pleasure of you serving under me yet. }}

{{quote|'''Gianna Parasini:''' I love nailing asari. They act so ageless and superior, but when you finally catch them, they squeal like schoolgirls.}}

{{quote|Not necessarily, since Asari are an entirely different species, so it's feasible that a person could be attracted to gender A of species A, but not gender B. (Though Asari only have one gender) The flirtatious dialogue she has with Male Shep. makes her out to be the sort of person who might make a suggestive comment like this as well, though it's such a minor event compared to the scope of the series that it doesn't really matter.}}

{{quote|"You know me, I like to savor the last shot before popping the heat sink. [[Lampshade Hanging|...Wait, that metaphor just went somewhere horrible."]]}}

{{quote|"If it's too quiet for you to sleep, I can find you someplace louder..."}}

* In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', tattle a Hammer/Boomerang/Fire Bro and then try to explain that the localization team wasn't thinking something dirty.

* Joshua's intentional "You watch my behind, and I'll watch yours" line in ''[[The World Ends With You]]''.

{{quote|'''[[Jerkass|Joshua]]:''' Step one is gathering info, starting with the client. Honestly, Neku. This is basic stuff.

'''[[Ho Yay|Neku]]:''' ([[Only Known by Their Nickname|Yoshiya Kiryu]], private dick extraordinaire.) }}

* When ''[[Super Robot Wars]] OG Saga: [[Endless Frontier]]'' was announced to have a US release, [[Atlus]]' promotional messages were FILLED with innuendos. The message goes like this:

{{quote|SUPER ROBOT TAISEN® OG SAGA: ENDLESS FRONTIER? '''SPILLS''' OUT ONTO NINTENDO DS? We like keeping you '''abreast''' of new developments in the world of Atlus, Faithful. That's why we're practically '''bursting''' at the seams to reveal Super Robot Taisen® OG Saga: Endless Frontier for [[Nintendo DS]]. As a continuation of the Atlus Spoils fan appreciation program, each and every launch copy of Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier will be a premium boxed release, with a bonus soundtrack CD featuring music from the game included in the final retail package. My friends, this is one '''stacked''' action RPG. Contrasting the deep story and characterizations is the fast-paced, fighter-style combat engine. '''Juggling''' your opponent in the air, chaining together combos, using your entire party in concert... these may not be your typical RPG combat concepts, but with the quick, responsive battles in Endless Frontier, they're the name of the game. Behind the fighter mechanics are all of the nuanced RPG fixings genre fans have come to expect. We'd like to emphasize: this game is more than just the fights. This is a '''fully-developed, well-rounded''' adventure. Journey across a variety of worlds, ranging from an apocalyptic wasteland covered with the hulks of downed spaceships, to a fantastical place of fairy tales and dark magic. Join Haken Browning: gunslinger, professional bounty hunter, and amateur ladies' man-along with his motley crew of robots, were-beasts, secret agents, and '''busty princesses'''-as they delve deep into the mysteries of how their worlds came to be and face a threat that imperils the multiverse. There's so much game here, Faithful, you may just get '''lower back pain''' from the effort! With its unique combat and '''titillating''' story, this is one sci-fi action RPG sure to '''stick out''' this spring.}}

* ''[[Destroy All Humans!]] Big Willy Unleashed'' is one big double entendre. The plot involves Pox founding a hot dog stand named "Big Willy's", a parody of the real-life "Bob's Big Boy" franchise. Kolonel Kluckin, owner/proprietor of Kluckin's Kitchen, is trying to run Pox out of business, and hires a kidnapped and supposedly brainwashed rich heiress named "Patty Wurst". She attacks Pox's restaurant, to which Pox exclaims "She's hammering my Big Willy!" It goes on like this.

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' has plenty of them; for instance Ocelot's "I love to reload during a battle. ''There's nothing like slamming a long silver bullet into a well-greased chamber''." from the first ''Metal Gear Solid'' is a rather obvious one.

* ''[[Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3]]'' had one in the Soviet campaign, where General Krukov will berate you with an entendre.

{{quote|"While you were hiding behind the barricades in Leningrad, the enemy was '''thrusting deep''' into the motherland's '''tender nether regions'''!"}}

{{quote|"We will '''pound''' your little island, until you weep for mercy."}}

* ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]''. Rockstar North is a master inserting double entendres into any fictional item under the sun, from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx2Ng1DoQZI cars], to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKDsDhKeM90 chocolate bars], to names such as the "[http://www.grandtheftwiki.com/World%27s_Largest_Cock The Big Pecker]", Juank Air, Burger Shot or [http://gta-real.com/internet/ilovetoblow.jpg ilovetoblow.org], to an advertising in ''[[Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories]]'' promoting croquet. To list all of them would require a page of its own.

{{quote|'''Kokonoe''': I've been thinking of putting [[Rocket Punch|it]] on your chest... or your '''[[Calling Your Attacks|GIGANTIC]] [[This Trope Is Bleep|TAGER!!!!]]'''

'''Tager''': Uh, no thanks, Kokonoe. I don't think I need that kind of... um... [[Freud Was Right|"enhancment"]]. }}

{{quote|'''Noel''': Miss Kokonoe, what were you planning to do to Mr. Ragna the Bloodedge after you [[Instant Sedation|put him to sleep]]?

'''Kokonoe''': Ah, yes. Well, no reason not to tell you. First, I intended to take his '''INFERNO DIVIDER''' and put it in a '''CARNAGE SCISSORS''' with maybe a little '''GAUNTLET HADES''' too? Huh, my goodness, I can only imagine what his '''HELL'S FANG''' will '''DEAD SPIKE'''.

* The title of every single ''[[Ratchet & Clank|Ratchet and Clank]]'' game after [[Ratchet & Clank (video game)|the first]]. "[[Ratchet and Clank Going Commando|Going Commando]]" referring to both nudity and actually being a commando, "[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal|Up Your]] ''[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal|Arse]]''[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal|nal]]" referring to it having more weapons, and to top it off, the [[Ratchet and Clank Future A Crack In Time|latest game]]'s name was almost "Clock Blockers."

** Actually, only about half the Ratchet & Clank titles have done this- Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, Size Matters, and Quest for Booty.

{{quote|'''Ruby:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|The store is named after my clothing racks, smartass]].}}

{{quote|'''Cindy Donovinh:''' It's... huge! I can't believe the size of it, towering into the stratosphere like that... It's like nothing I've ever seen!

'''Edmund:''' *[[Aside Glance]]* [[That's What She Said]] }}

'''Jill:''' Well, he was talking about the world's most powerful biological weapon... called "[[I Call Him Mr. Happy|TYRANT]]" or something.

'''Barry:''' [[Ho Yay|Do you think we could see... TYRANT... now]]? }}

* ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozAjuxRKo1k filled to the brim with these], though some cross over to being text instead of subtext. A particularly obvious example is [[Final Fantasy VI|Kefka]]'s EX-burst monologue:

{{quote|"Watch this! It's filling me up! That was... ''titillating''!"}}

"You aren't wearing pants... so what split?"

"Um... gotta go!" }}

* ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'' has a [[Dating Sim]]-esque sequence: After defeating your date in a Pokémon battle, you go with said date on a ferris wheel. Your date's dialogue is positively laced with double entendres, especially from one of Hilbert's dates, a burly [[Gay Option|Hiker]].

* The tutorial quest of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons Online]]'' has the rogue catch up to your party and say to your female cleric leader, "Don't worry, Cellimas, I'm here to watch your behind now!"

** In ''[[Morrowind]]'' , You meet the author of The Lusty Argonian Maid, Crassius Curio. Unsuprisingly, His unique dialogues contain quite a few sexual entendres.

* ''[[Darkstalkers]]'': Morrigan's victory line in the ''[[Capcom Vs]]'' series are practically intended to come off as this.

 

== [[Web Comics]] ==

* The [[Rooster Teeth]] logo is a visual double entendre that you only pick up when your humor is in the gutter. I can't be the only who is reminded of the endearing insult "cockbite" they commonly use in ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'', whenever they show a picture of a rooster and teeth.

{{quote|'''Tucker:''' Bow chicka bow wow.}}

{{quote|'''Simmons:''' Okay, Lopez, you take the front.

'''Donut:''' And I'll handle your rears!

'''Donut:''' It'll be a Donut sandwich, mm-mm!

'''Simmons:''' Ugh! You can ruin anything! }}

* If doing a ''NaviGTR/Flights of Fantasy'' [[Retsupurae]], Diabetus says a joke with one of these that is related to the game that George Wood is reviewing in his best [[Bill Clinton]] impersonation.

{{quote|"Are you ready to '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}7hoh_c-WRNs contend]''' with what's in my pants?"

** Also in the Nostalgia Critic's "Nostalgic Commercials", during the "Wet Banana" ad.

* ''Clients From Hell'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20160420082838/http://clientsfromhell.net/post/90551810062/ive-been-fumbling-with-your-zip-for-a-while-now about zip] (addressed to a graphics designer, apparently).
