Double Entendre: Difference between revisions

* 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.

* 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.

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.
