Double Entendre: Difference between revisions

* A UK energy conservation advert, paraphrased: "When cooking, use only enough water to cover your vegetables. The same applies when having a bath." "Meat and two veg" is a jocular British euphemism for, well, you can guess.

* Lucky Strike cigarettes had a slogan old comedies loved to quote: "So round, so firm, so fully packed."

** Also, if you interpret 'slap' as 'slapping your junk', the entire commercial is possibly more hilarious than normal. "Slap your troubles away."

* The Chup-a-Chups lollipop company had "The Joy of Sucking" before they replaced it with "Life Less Serious".

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EoR_3wXHqA This commercial] for Axe body spray.

* From the Internet, we have the epic [[Hentai]]-themed [http://www.tentaclegrape.com/ Tentacle Grape], which... well, I'll quote the ''About'' page here:

Tentacle Grape is now available... so WATCH OUT! [[Memetic Mutation|You gonna get GRAPED]]! }}

** This is made even funnier by the advertiser's name: ''[[Yuri]]'' [[Yuri Lowenthal|Lowenthal]].

* 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.

* In ''[[Batman]]'', this exchange takes place between [[The Stoic|Batman]] and [[Whip It Good|Catwoman]] ([[It Makes Sense in Context|it really does make sense in context]]).

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

* 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|'''Dark Helmet:''' I see your Schwartz is as big as mine! Let's see how you ''handle'' it.}}

** And: '''Colonel Sandurz:''' It's Mega Maid! She's gone from suck to blow!

** It's most likely [[Accidental Innuendo|unintentional]], but really? The main characters' names are ''Woody'' and ''Buzz''? The [[Parallel Porn Titles|Sex Toy Story]] parody writes ''itself''.

** There is also the line by Rex at the end of the first movie about how he would like for Andy to get a herbivore so he could play the "dominant predator".

{{quote|'''Faith:''' The close-but-no-cigar thing with Angel. I don't know if I could handle, you know, the way you're not handling it.}}

** Even 'nice boy' Riley does it in "Something Blue".

'''Buffy:''' We are talking about driving, right? }}

** Another non-comic version is in "Fool for Love" when Spike is sparring with Buffy outside the Bronze while relating how he killed her predecessors. Spike's talk of 'dancing' (fighting to the death) with Buffy [[Sex Is Violence|increasingly takes on sexual overtones]] until he's driven to make an actual pass at her. Buffy's disgusted rejection of the idea that Spike will be the one to kill her is played exactly like Buffy rejecting the idea that she will ever become his lover.

''(...)''

'''Connery:''' I've got to ask you about The Penis Mightier...

'''Connery:''' I'll take Whore Semen. ''(Walks up to the board and points at the "Horsemen" category)'' See? "Whore"--like your mother--"Semen." }}

** And then there's the "Delicious Dish" sketch in which Alec Baldwin's character, baker Pete Schweddy, introduces his dessert, "Schweddy Balls". Rapidly becomes an [[Overly Long Gag]] (and an obvious one), but they maintain perfectly deadpan delivery throughout while saying such lines as, "Wow. I can't wait to get my mouth around his Balls", and "Do whatever you want to, ladies. My Balls are here for your pleasure."

* As with the movie examples above, Groucho Marx was known for his quick wit in his talk show, ''[[You Bet Your Life]]''. One interview with a woman with many children led him to ask why she had so many. She replied that she loved her husband. His reply: "Well, I love my cigar, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while!" Apparently everyone in the studio was in hysterics for some time.<ref>It's actually just an urban legend as no tape of the episode exists and Groucho vehemently denied ever saying it. However, it's still funny either way.</ref>

* I'd insert all the double entendres from ''[[Veronica Mars]]'' in here, but fun as it is I don't want to be doing this all day, and frankly it could be too long for the page to handle.

** The less said about Adam riding the giant chicken cannon, the better.

* Mike Rowe from ''[[Dirty Jobs]]'' is fond of these as well.

{{quote|'''Hank:''' Hey, where's your F 'n' E?}}

** The episode with the female doctor coming to town involved the doctor taking ''everything'' the locals said as a double entendre. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

{{quote|"You guys should totally check out my opening. It takes a while for things to warm up down there, so try not to come too early."}}

* Doctor Gregory [[House (TV series)|House]] is also fond of double entendres, though in season 4's "Whatever it Takes" he fails, saying: {{spoiler|"You know, I happen to have a position available on my penis... Wait a second, I think I screwed up that joke."}}

{{quote|''But I really get her going

When I whip out my big 10 inch

record of a band that plays the blues...'' }}

* [[Aerosmith]]'s song "Love in an Elevator".

'''Dougal:''' Not the night before a Macathalon!

'''Hamish:''' Well, I'll be right behind you.

'''Dougal:''' [[Bait and Switch|Yes]]. }}

** And the original show which ''Clue'' was spun off of, ''[[I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again|I'm Sorry Ill Read That Again]]'', also did it on occassion, using radio for full ambiguity. IIRC, from ''Black Cinderella 2 Goes East'':

'''Hanschen:''' We'll huddle over the Homer. Maybe do a little [[wikipedia:Achilles and Patroclus|Achilles and Patroclus]]. }}

* The famous "china" scene from the [[Restoration Comedy]] ''The Country Wife''. The ''title'' ''The Country Wife'' is a triple entendre.

* As everyone knows by now, the Double Entendre was Mae West's stock in trade. ''The Pleasure Man'' was one of several of her 1920s plays raided for obscenity, and the censors took note of such lines as a [[Drag Queen]] offering "I get down on my knees" as a description of his act and an observing couple calling such performers "extraordinarily queer."

* Pursuing ''[[Mass Effect]]'''s [[Romance Sidequest]] with Kaidan Alenko creates what is probably an unintentional Double Entendre; asking Kaidan for "personal input" after all new [[Dialogue Tree|conversational options]] have been exhausted causes Kaidan to reply that "There'll be time for personal debriefings later", a comment that sounds innocent at first but collects more and more of a double meaning the more he and Shepard flirt with one another.

** If that's not enough, there's a ''very intentional'' Double Entendre possible in the scene which culminates the [[Romance Sidequest]]:

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

** The sequel has a few.

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

*** There's also this exchange.

'''[[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:

* ''[[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.

** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0EGozm1TsA Kids, come and play. I got puppies to show you.]"

* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' the Reputation grind for the Sons of Hodir faction requires you to complete the following quests every day; Blowing Hodir's Horn, Polishing the Helm and Thrusting Hodir's Spear.

* The enemy in ''X3: Reunion'' is called the Kha'ak. And yes, it's pronounced like you think it is. Cue [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi8n6uN091E G4TV's hilarious review] laden with hard and blown Kha'ak.

* ''[[Baldur's Gate]]'' has quite a lot of them. Jan has a bunch of stories that are chock full (something about Golodon the Unmanned losing his rod?) Edwin occasionally interjects them into his dialogue and then there's the entire sidequest concerning the three pantaloons that give you the Big Metal Unit...

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

** Taken a step further with [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Rachel's Gag Ending]], where [[Anti-Hero|Ragna]] gains an [[Unwanted Harem]]:

'''Noel:''' Wh-wha- [[Big "What?"|WHAT!?]] }}

* Everything said by the Black Baron (stop staring) in ''[[MadWorld]]''. Especially when he refers to giving targets "head" when you're hitting heads into targets with a golf club.

* The [[Narm Charm|QUALITY]] voice acting in the ''[[Resident Evil]]'' series means that a fair number of lines that wouldn't usually sound like double entendre end up sounding exactly like that. A golden example from the end of the original version of the game that started it all:

{{quote|'''Barry:''' Do you have ''any idea'' what Wesker was going to show you in the back of this place?

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

** This one becomes even more [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] when you play ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'' and realize that Wesker's goal is [[Gag Penis|Complete. Global. Saturation]].

* Shameless [[Otaku]] Daru from ''[[Steins;Gate]]'' has a talent for instantly noticing whenever something a female character says can be misconstrued out of context and asking them to repeat it for him. Prime examples include "Put the banana in", and "Maybe that hole is too tight!"

* In ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'', practically everything the prostitutes say is Double Entendre. See [http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Prostitute#Quotes here].

** Although in the military, that expression is routinely used to denote non-combat personnel who are removed from the front lines. Given the propensity of vulgar expressions and double entendres in the military lexicon, this example is usually played straight by comparison.

* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' series (at least in ''[[Oblivion]]'' and ''[[Skyrim]]'') there's an in-game book by the name of ''The Lusty Argonian Maid''. You can read excerpts from this book, and they are full of double entendres (especially the second volume).

* In ''[[The Dreamer]]'', Alexander says this comment to Beatrice:

{{quote|"I remember taking my turn with you more than once that evening".}}

* Jane's last line in [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=188013 this] ''[[Everyday Heroes]]'' strip.

* [[Exiern]] had a three-pager titled "Cheating Death". The (NSFW) [http://www.exiern.com/?p=76 middle page] shows how the ''title'' is a Double Entendre.

'''Danny:''' Actually, I kinda doubt that. }}

** And:

'''Danny:''' I'll do my best! }}

** Also, watch the episode "Eye for an Eye" and just hear any insults between Vlad and Danny. Their words have a very [[Subtext]] feel to it and they say it so frequently it just borders on [[Foe Yay]].

* By that same token, on ''[[Justice League]]'', Flash's constant bragging about being "the fastest man alive" eventually causes Hawkgirl to quip "Which may explain why you can't get a date."

** ''[[Justice League]]'' and ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' were filled with this sort of thing. For example, when Vixen pulls [[Green Lantern]] into a closet for a little quality time, he's startled—and more than a little disapproving of her method:

'''Vixen:''' [[Power Perversion Potential|Promises]], [[Naughty Tentacles|promises]]. }}

** And again when Flash is eying the South American superheroine Fire.

'''Homer:''' Marge, Ix-nay on the asshole-tray." }}

** The "We Put the Spring in Springfield" song from "Bart After Dark" is a pretty clever one. It's the episode where Bart (and subsequently everyone else in town) finds out about that Burlesque house. So that "spring" could refer to other things...

* ''[[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' cartoon was remarkably full of [[Parental Bonus]] lines, although few of them were presented as double entendres. However, in the episode "A Hitch In the Works", Ganon offers a gem when he orders the abduction of Zelda. Making it even funnier is the fact that he's ordering his mooks to kidnap her so he can force her to marry him:

{{quote|'''Ganon:''' ''I want that princess!''}}

'''Archer:''' Um, phrasing?

'''Malory:''' Regale him with exciting tales of ISIS exploits! }}

{{quote|'''June:''' Henry, you really should try taking your relationship with Dawn to the next level.

'''Henry:''' *stares at her*

** Then there's the beginning of ""Kubla Khan't", where Tuddrussell refers to a "centerfold" of a phaser as a "sweet piece of [[Last-Second Word Swap|action]]."

** Tudrussel makes it into this trope too with his line in "Horse of Horrors". While reading a magazine "Burgers and You", he exclaims; "Man! Will you look at the size of those ''buns''! Mm-mm!"

{{quote|'''Larkin:''' ''(to Ingrid)'' Hey, Third! How'd you like that cream pie?}}

* Probably unintentional but in an episode of ''[[Rugrats]]'' in which Chuckie becomes obsessed with Tommy's Mr. Boppo toy (a clown punching bag) and isn't paying attention to his friends Phil remarks "A kid should be outside playing with his friends not bopping his Boppo all day".

{{quote|'''Candace:''' Oh, ''yeah'', Jeremy. Nobody makes a corn dog like ''you''.

'''Doofenshmirtz:''' This is really a two-handed job.

'''Candace:''' Oh, pardon my reach. I'm just getting in the most convenient position to drive this stake into the ground. }}

* ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'': When Peep, a salesman, is hitting on Heloise and showing off his merchandise at the same time, she yells "[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|I'm not interested in your junk!]]"

{{quote|'''Lydia:''' I know how we'll fix it...we'll ''cut'' it off! (''Beetlejuice shrieks in panic; Lydia shakes her head long-suffering'')}}

* ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' features a song called "Birds of Prey" (from episode "The Masks of Matches Malone!") which isn't even subtle. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAFP0IoMfsA Listen to it here].

"[[Plastic Man]] [[Power Perversion Potential|can expand]]... [[The Loins Sleep Tonight|Becomes putty in our hands!]]" }}

* [[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy|Grim]] puts a powerful artifact in his mystic trunk and warns Billy to "Stay out of the junk in me trunk!"

* In the ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' episode "Revenge of the Mooninites", the Mooninites are watching porn stolen from Carl's secret stash, leading to this exchange:

{{quote|'''Meatwad:''' Ooh yeah, baby. That's a neat car she's washing. You think that's a straight six?

'''Ignignokt:''' Ooh, Err, your sexual innuendo is priceless. }}
