Line 121:
* 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.)
* Though [[Have a Gay Old Time|almost certainly unintentional]], rereading some old comics can have readers in gales of uncontrollable laughter, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130424012923/http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=32&Itemid=50&limitstart=2 due to the slang of the day].
* 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.
Line 154:
'''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.
* [http://thepoptopshop.com/osc/images/GiantSizeManThing2.jpg The Giant-Sized Man-Thing], or the fact that [http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/0/7596/168084-21365_large.JPG Kang]{{Dead link}} is a purple-headed invader. The latter was actually pointed out in ''[[Twisted
{{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. }}
Line 203:
* 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.'
* Lampshaded in
** "So, did you and Ginny do it?"
* The female cop in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' speaks almost entirely in these, quite intentionally.
Line 336:
''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.
* Nanny Ogg from the ''[[Discworld]]'' series by [[Terry Pratchett]] enjoys using these, although according to ''[[
{{quote|'''Nanny Ogg:''' 'S called the Vieux River.
'''Granny Weatherwax:''' Yes?
Line 353:
** 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]].
** There's also a non-sexual double meaning in ''[[
*** Speaking of ''[[
**** That's because in ''Discworld'' the handy little thing has been named after its inventor as a 'sonky'. One of those [[Inherently Funny Words]].
** In ''[[
** In ''[[
* ''[[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.
Line 373:
Harry moved into his usual position...
He came quickly, as if a white flag had come out of his wand. }}
** Harry enters the
{{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}}.
Line 380:
** '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.'

{{quote|Ron struggled for a moment before managing to extract his wand from his pocket.
Line 876:
* 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.
* Done intentionally in ''[[Dilbert]]'' with [https://dilbert.com/strip/2015-04-02 Dick from the Internet]. ''Everybody'' knows him.

Line 1,060 ⟶ 1,061:
** 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.
* One-upping
* The [[World of Buxom]] setting of ''[[Shantae]]'' is almost ''Double Entendre: The Game''. To give one example, main antagonist Risky Boots (who is, like the heroine, a [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]]); even her name qualifies, the name being a play on " "risqué" and "booty", not helped by the fact [[Pirate Booty| she is a pirate]].

Line 1,107 ⟶ 1,109:
* 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!
Line 1,113 ⟶ 1,115:
'''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?"
Line 1,138 ⟶ 1,140:
** 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).
* In [https://backrooms.fandom.com/wiki/Backrooms_Wiki The Backrooms Wiki], the write up for [http://backrooms-wiki.wikidot.com/level-69 Level 69] has a disclaimer that states, ''We do not tolerate any joking with this level, this is too serious for the reader to be acting like 12-year-olds, thank you for understanding.'' Still kind of funny, thought.
