Usually played for laughs when a known straight character is hit on by another man, especially one that's physically larger. It doesn't matter if it's through force, deception or drugs, male-on-male rape is almost always an object of
The reason? Well, men are expected to be strong and dominant, and rape is thought of as something that only happens to women. Hence, a man who is raped must be so weak and unmanly that he allowed himself to be treated like a woman; [[Insane Troll Logic|therefore]], he's comically pathetic and must have [[What Measure Is a Non-Badass?|deserved it]]. Which brings about many [[Unfortunate Implications]]: men aren't supposed to be victims, especially not of anything sex-related since a "real man" is always on top. The victim has been humiliated and defeated in the worst way possible as well as robbed of his masculinity, while the perpetrator will strangely be considered as exceptionally virile for having been able to ''sexually dominate a man''. This might be why a [[Camp Gay|non-camp]], [[Manly Gay]] and [[Seme|dominant]] [[Depraved Homosexual]] is perceived as particularly dangerous to straight men.
This is part of why even when it's not supposed to be funny, it's still considered funny. Because the idea of such a violation of masculinity is such an extreme taboo, audiences are ''very'' uncomfortable with contemplating rape as something that could actually happen to any man, and often resort to [[Black Humor]] as a way to cope by making the idea seem harmless. The male-on-male rape scenes in ''[[Deliverance]]'', ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' and ''[[The Shawshank Redemption]]'' are obviously supposed to be horrific; however, they are routinely snickered at, rather than cried over as with male-on-female rape scenes.
The [[Unfortunate Implications]] have [[Real Life]] consequences: because people prefer to think of it as basically impossible for a man to be raped, male rape victims have few resources available to help them, and they often avoid speaking out about what happened to them and seeking the few resources that ''do'' exist because they're afraid of being laughed at and seen as pathetic and weak. This even unfortunately extends to sexual harassment too - try to get a lawsuit together for sexual harassment when the victim is a male, and see how well ''that'' goes.
Compare with [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Male)]] and [[Double Standard Rape (Female on Female)]]. See also [[Prison Rape]] and [[All Women are Doms, All Men are Subs]]. Related to [[Black Comedy Rape]].
{{noreallife|this is a [[:Category:Rape Tropes|rape trope]], and All The Tropes does not care to [[squick]] its readers.}}
{{examples}}▼
▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Kodomo no Jikan]]'', Kuro says that if she were a boy, after "pushing Rin to the ground" (s)he'd "take [Aoki's] manhood away from him".
* The [[Boys Love]] anime ''[[Sukisho]]!'' plays an [[Attempted Rape]] in the first episode for comedy; also, the one on [[Uke|bottom]] is said to have [[Victim Falls For Rapist|enjoyed it]].
* In the manga ''[[Challengers]]'' it is revealed in a side story that Tomoe's older brother, Souichi, had a [[Near-Rape Experience]] at the hands of one of his teachers, which caused him to become anti-gay. Souichi's resulting homophobia is played up to ludicrous extremes clearly intended for laughs. The rape itself ''is'' treated as wrong, but its consequences are merely treated as funny.
* Souichi's later relationship with his [[Sempai-Kohai|kohai]] Morinaga in the [[Spin-Off]] series ''[[The Tyrant Falls in Love]]'' is a combination of this trope and [[Victim Falls For Rapist]], most of the comedy resulting from [[Dogged Nice Guy|Morinaga]] and [[Tsundere|Souichi]] not fitting the traditional [[Boys Love|BL]] "cold-hearted [[Seme]]/cheerful [[Uke]]" dynamic ''at all''.
* Early on in the plot of [[Sweet Polly Oliver]] historical drama ''[[Kaze Hikaru]]'', a few male characters are shown being markedly attracted to the [[Bifauxnen]] protagonist. One of them, Kanji, makes increasingly desperate bids to get into "his" pants, which are all portrayed
* Similarly [[Played for Laughs]] as the ''[[Sukisho]]!'' example above, in ''[[FAKE]]'' and it's one shot OVA, [[Lovable Sex Maniac|Dee]] [[Attempted Rape|attempts to rape]] [[Straight Man|Ryo]] while on vacation. Carol and Bikky are eavesdropping outside the door and betting on whether or not Dee will actually succeed.
* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', [[Moe Anthropomorphism|France]] often gropes or undresses the other countries, which are almost all males. It's always played for laughs.
** Implied in the [[Dating Sim]] strip, where the hypothetical bad ending has Korea shouting that he'll do this to China.
Line 40 ⟶ 35:
* Averted in ''[[Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest]]'' where Haguro decides to up his freakiness by kissing Chiba (who he had beaten up), tearing out his tongue, and then raping him.
== [[Comic Books]] ==▼
* In ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)|Preacher]]'', Hoover phones up what he thinks is an escort service to get his boss, Herr Starr, laid. Unfortunately, he orders a man who rapes Starr in an alley. While parts of the aftermath ''are'' played for laughs, Starr's reaction isn't -- the next morning, he attempts to strangle Hoover. Later, this incident is revealed to be only the overture to [[Butt Monkey|Starr's series-long]] [[Humiliation Conga]] (the next step of which is his realization that he can no longer achieve any sort of sexual satisfaction ''without'' anal penetration), shelving it right back under [[Black Comedy|(very, very dark) comedic relief]] again.▼

* At the end of the second volume of ''[[League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'', a male-on-male rape (and murder) scene and its aftermath kept shifting between horrified amusement and genuine horror.
* Averted in ''[[The Authority]]''. Apollo is raped over the hood of a car by the Commander (an [[Alternate Company Equivalent]] of [[Captain America (comics)]]) who is part of a team of "superheroes" in the employ of the US government. The rape and its fallout are treated as seriously as if it had been male-on-female rape. Played somewhat straighter when Midnighter, enraged at the brutality visited on his lover, apparently rapes the Commander in retaliation with a jackhammer.
* Subverted in Fabian Nicieza's run on ''
* In ''Tangled Web of [[Spider-Man]]'', the villainous Kangaroo is trapped by another villain, Tombstone, into being [[Prison Rape|prison-raped]] as revenge for a previous betrayal. As with most of the injuries to Kangaroo in this series (laser cannon exploding in his crotch, getting a foot up his behind), it is played for laughs.
* In ''[[The Filth]]'', a deranged porn director and serial rapist (loosely based on real director Max Hardcore) unleashes a swarm of giant, murderous sperm on Los Angeles. A member of The Filth then {{spoiler|violates him, injecting a substance into his colon that attracts the swarm to him, reducing civilian casualties and aiding easy disposal.}} The whole scene is played for queasy laughs.
Line 52 ⟶ 46:
* Averted with a vengeance in ''Sandman'', where a young Augustus Caesar gets brutally raped by his stepfather, Julius Caesar. It's implied to be one of the reasons Augustus later knowingly opts to seal the doom of the Roman Empire as a whole.
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* Horrifically averted in the [[Sturgeon's Law|unusually good]] ''[[Glee]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7109340/1/The_Worst_That_Could_Happen The Worst That Could Happen]''. When the football team finds out that Dave Karofsky is [[Armoured Closet Gay|gay]], three of them rape him in the locker room (to [[Complete Monster|"teach him a lesson"]]) while two others stand guard outside. It is ''[[Tear Jerker|not]]'' funny.▼

▲* Horrifically averted in the [[Sturgeon's Law|unusually good]] ''[[Glee]]'' fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7109340/1/The_Worst_That_Could_Happen The Worst That Could Happen]. When the football team finds out that Dave Karofsky is [[Armoured Closet Gay|gay]], three of them rape him in the locker room (to [[Complete Monster|"teach him a lesson"]]) while two others stand guard outside. It is ''[[Tear Jerker|not]]'' funny.
* The very word [[Deliverance|"deliverance"]] has become a punchline because of this trope.
* Common in many, many movies via [[Conversational Troping]], especially anytime [[Prison Rape|prisons]] are mentioned.
Line 66 ⟶ 59:
* In ''[[Carry On]] Matron'', a male thief who has infiltrated a hospital disguised as a female nurse is continually pursued by a doctor who goes as far as locking "her" in a room, ignoring "her" screams and eventually saying, "Don't resist, I was a boxing champion at university!" Furthermore, the scene seems to play as if all this would be fairly funny even if the victim really ''were'' female.
* Almost [[Averted]] in ''[[Dirty Work]]'', after Norm Macdonald's character is raped in prison and his friend start teasing him about it:
{{quote|
* An attempted rape of a young man by a much larger old man is played for laughs in ''[[Withnail and I]]'', though for very [[Squick
{{quote|
* Completely avoided by ''[[Vulgar]]'', in which a down on his luck birthday clown takes up doing adult shows as a side job and gets raped by a perverse father and his sons. The film manages to not only take it seriously, but subtly mocks this trope at the same time.
* In the [[Bollywood]] film ''Kambakkht Ishq'' the female lead gets at the male by telling an airport security person that he's gay, which apparently is some secret rite which allows him the honor of getting heavily molested by a gigantic cross-dressing brute in the cavity search room for laughs.
* In ''[[Trading Places]]'', Paul Gleason's character ends up in a cage with a horny gorilla, with no way to protect himself.
* Used in the film version of [[Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead]]:
{{quote|
** The original play had a bit of this too, where the Player offers to put on "a private and uncut performance of 'The Rape of the Sabine Women' --or rather, wo''man''. Or rather, Alfred."
* In ''[[Top Secret]]'', Nigel "The Torch" recounts to his former girlfriend, Hillary, how he was "rescued" off of a deserted island by [[Salvage Pirates]]. "They tormented me in ways I cannot describe." He then proceeds to ''smile crookedly'' at the memory.
* In ''[[Half Baked]]'', one of the stoners lands in jail and has be bailed out by his friends before his protector in prison gets released and he will be raped by a big, black prisoner. ''[[Played for Laughs]]'' when the characters imagine how he drops the soap in the prison shower, bends over to pick it up and the legs of the black prisoner come into view immediately behind him.
== [[Literature]] ==▼
▲== Literature ==
* Averted hard in ''[[Chronicles of Magravandias]]'' where all instances of rape are depicted as equally violent and disturbing. Shan's gang-rape at the hands of invading soldiers is particularly nasty.
== [[Live-Action TV]] ==▼
▲== Live-Action TV ==
* In ''[[The Comic Strip Presents]] South Atlantic Raiders'', one of the characters is trapped in a prison cell with a huge prisoner who says, threateningly, "Oh dear, you're going to get a ''very'' sore botty." (In the original broadcast version the hero takes one look at the big guy's genitalia and cries "oh, ''God'', no!", but the line appears to have been cut from the DVD release.) However, our hero escapes before he can be raped.
* In ''[[Max
* On an episode of ''[[Mind of Mencia]]'', parodying the "To Catch a Predator" segments of Dateline, the sketch ends with the would-be predator being raped by a very large man not-quite off-screen as the punchline.
* The phrase "community soap" on ''[[Veronica Mars]]''. In an episode in Season 3, a frat boy is found passed out on campus, stripped naked, and with an egg shoved up his ass. This is the source of much humor on campus, including amongst the college feminist group that had been raising hell over the lack of initiative in catching the serial rapist on campus. Veronica gives them an earful over it.
Line 91 ⟶ 82:
* One of the "stunts" in ''The [[Jackass]] [[The Movie|Movie]]'' involved Ryan Dunn [[Ass Shove|inserting a Hot Wheels toy car into his rectum.]] The crew then filmed the reactions of the doctor when Ryan explained how he had supposedly passed out at a Frat Party and woken up that way.
* In ''[[The Vicar of Dibley]]'', Geraldine tells Alice the joke in which Superman sees Wonder Woman lying naked on a rooftop and attempts to have sex with her in the shortest time possible. Wonder Woman asks what happened, and then the Invisible Man climbs off her and says "I don't know, but it hurt a lot." Alice doesn't laugh, pointing out that this joke besmirches Superman's reputation by implying that he committed homosexual rape on the Invisible Man, which she doesn't consider funny.
{{quote|'''Alice:''' And quite frankly I think you should be ashamed of yourself.
(Alice leaves)(beat)
'''Geraldine:''' ...Prude!}}
* In the ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode "The Jimmy", Jerry wakes up from a dental appointment during which he was unconscious from nitrous oxide to find his shirt untucked and his (male) dentist and (female) hygienist are getting dressed. It's never firmly established whether Jerry was hallucinating the incident or not, or whether his shirt was untucked before getting the knock-out gas, but the situation, including the uncertainty, is played for laughs when he describes the experience to Elaine. Her remark is "So your dentist and hygienist violated you while you were unconscious. So what?" despite the fact that Jerry is obviously deeply disturbed by the incident.
* The phrase "he got raped from behind" was thrown out in ESPN's coverage of the Big East Championship Game after a particularly full-body foul and steal. Color commentators at their best...
Line 103 ⟶ 95:
** The ''Go Fish'' episode. The evil swim coach forces Buffy into the water below his office with the mutant fish-men, but not to feed them: "Boys have ''other'' needs." (Buffy herself doesn't like the idea that she'd "made it with the whole swim team"). Xander helps her out, the coach falls through the trap door, and while he yells and splashes below, Buffy quips "Boy, those boys sure likes their coach!"
** Another one for Jonathan, when he and Andrew are in jail. Jonathan is scared and talks about how one of the inmates keeps looking at him.
{{quote|
* ''[[ER]]''
** Invoked on an episode, which had Carter in jail. His cellmate, a stereotypical [[Scary Black Man]], approaches him, unbuckling his pants, declaring, "I've got something for you". Carter screams in panic...and the man reveals a sore on his leg that has been bothering
** Averted in a different episode, though, where a prisoner was brought to the hospital after being injured in a fight. It soon became obvious that he had been raped and the incident was handled appropriately, even becoming a [[Tear Jerker]] when {{spoiler|the patient is diagnosed with HIV and actually says that he's ''glad''... because he's serving a life sentence and won't have to put up with the rapes anymore.}}
* Rik's tendency to panic at the very thought of being raped ("I can't go to prison!") was similarly played for laughs a couple of times on ''[[The Young Ones]]''.
Line 112 ⟶ 104:
* Played straight in a ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' game show parody, "Who Wants To Be Groped By An Eleven-Thousandaire?". The contestants included two women and a very confused man, apparently sent by his friends as a joke. The audience is to vote on who will be sent to the "thousand-aire's" car, where the groping will take place. Of course, the man receives 98% of the vote. The skit concludes with the panicked and unwilling man struggling in the backseat of the car, while the audience roars.
* In ''[[Friends]]'', there is an episode where Joey talks about a great tailor he has had since childhood, and refers Chandler to him. Chandler goes there, and comes back horrified. He informs Joey that his tailor "is a very bad man!". Joey defends the guy, explaining to him that "that's how they do pants", but Ross says no, that is definitely not how they do pants. It looks like Joey's been violated by his tailor for the past twelve years...
{{quote|
'''Ross:''' What?
'''Joey:''' No way. I've been going to the guy for 12 years.
'''Chandler:''' Oh, come on. He said he was going to do my inseam, and then he ran his hand up my leg, and then there was definite... cupping.
'''Joey:''' That's how they do pants! First they go up one side, they move it over, then they go up the other side, they move it back, and then they do the rear.
'''Joey:''' ''[Chandler and Ross stare at him]'' What? Ross, would you tell him? Isn't that how a tailor measure pants?
'''Ross:''' Yes. Yes, it is... In prison! What's the matter with you? }}
* A similar plot on ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]''. Beavis mentions that his dentist "inspected his nads". Butthead tells him that his dentist doesn't do that, it's his ''doctor'' who does. Odd subversion for such a low-brow comedy, as although it's never mentioned again, both boys seem genuinely shocked and horrified at the realization of Beavis' molestation.
* ''[[Jam]]'', which relies heavily on [[Dead Baby Comedy]], did this a couple of times. In one sketch, a woman is interviewed documentary-style and talks about her favourite sexual fantasy, which is for her husband to come home crying and tell her he has been gang-raped. All throughout the interview he is laughing next to her on the sofa. In another sketch, a couple are completely unfazed when they discover their son has not come home from school, and it is several weeks before they bother to look for him. When they find out he has been raped and murdered, their only reaction is to be slightly annoyed that they are expected to bury him themselves.
* In the ''[[Barney Miller]]'' episode "Heat Wave", much "humor" is mined from Wojo (who is wearing drag in order to attract muggers) almost being raped. Especially "funny", since the rapist elbowed [[The Smurfette Principle|Wentworth]] aside in order to get at him, and [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?|this offends her]].
* Averted in at least
** In one episode the victim seeks, tortures and kills the rapist. The victim is the murder of the week.
** In another, the rapist purpose is to break the victim's relationship with said rapist's sister. Nick was specially sympathetic to the victim.
* Averted in ''[[Being Erica]]''. {{spoiler|Leo's rape is not treated as funny at all, except by the rapists.}}
* Averted hard by the TV movie ''The Rape Of Richard Beck'', about the title detective whose belief that rape victims bring it on themselves is changed when he himself is a victim.
* Seemingly averted by ''[[Nip
== [[Music]] ==▼
▲== Music ==
* [[Sublime]]'s "Date Rape". The first half of the song details the titular male-on-female act, and in the second half, the rapist is caught and sent to prison [[Prison Rape|with predictable results]]. Some listeners claim the second half is noticeably lighter in tone than the first, while others think it doesn't really sound any different than the first.
** Played straight in the music video, though, as [[Black Comedy Rape|the inmate who rapes the antagonist is played by porn star Ron Jeremy]].
* From a live recording of "[[Alice's Restaurant (music)|
{{quote|
* "When You're In Prison" by [[The Offspring]] has this in spades. It sounds like a pop song from the '30s or '40s, while the lyrics are about how to make sure you don't get raped in prison, warning you "don't turn the other way" and "don't pick up the soap, it's bad for you".

* An odd example from [[Norse Mythology]], where Loki is transformed into a mare and, uh, "taken" by a stallion. [[Mister Seahorse|And later gets pregnant from it.]]

* Dave Chappelle did a stand up bit about a serial serial rapist who targeted men. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLWlBgj0uOc&feature=player_embedded Available here]. That said, most of the humor coming from the bit is less about the actual rapes being funny and more about society's expectations on how men should usually react to it being absurd.▼
* In her (semi-)autobiography ''Book Club Selection'', [[Kathy Griffin]] tells a story about witnessing an appearance by [[Depraved Bisexual|Andy]] [[Drugs Are Bad|Dick]] at a college in Florida in which he arrived late and [[Stoners Are Funny|stoned as fuck]] and pretended not to have a stand-up routine planned and called the audience "faggots" for a while, and then gave an audience member a completely undesired lapdance. He then invited a random 400-pound man (really a plant who was part of his group) up onstage from the audience to sing a song. Andy then [[Drag Queen|dressed as a go-go girl]] and began to dance along with the man's singing, at which point the man [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|lost control of himself]], grabbed Andy, lifted his skirt (and revealed he was [[Going Commando|wearing nothing under it]]), threw him down and raped him (well, pretended to) and ran offstage. Andy began screaming "I was just ''raped'', [[You Bastard|and you did]] ''[[You Bastard|nothing]]''!" at the horrified audience, at which point someone hit the fire alarm and everything went apeshit. It's [[Dude, Not Funny|not funny]] by most people's standards, but it's hard not to laugh at the way she tells it. [http://youtu.be/dHTcUQjJfgM Here] she is telling the story onstage.▼
* Louis CK jokes that if he had a time machine, he wouldn't [[Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act|kill Hitler]], he'd rape him. View it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loOTAw5GyI8 here.]▼

* The predations of Wanderer Meiyuan in ''[[Shadow Hearts]]'' were played for laughs... including featuring a character who was so incredibly unworldly that he didn't realize what was happening and thus didn't object. [[Dude, Not Funny|And including an orphaned child.]]
** In the sequel, Joachim...uh...becomes a man with assistance from his wrestling teacher.
* In a bonus, non-canon cutscene in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 3: Subsistence'', Raiden is comically mistaken for Col. Volgin's gay lover, Ivan (understandably, as the latter is a parody of the former). Seeing as Volgin is a seven foot tall, musclebound sadist and Raiden is a pretty boy, things end up extremely badly for the [[White-Haired Pretty Boy|white-haired bishounen]].
* With the announcement that [[God of War (series)|Kratos]] will be joining [[Mortal Kombat]], it was decided a regular fatality would be too tame for him. The solution?

* In ''[[The Boondocks]]'', episode "A Date with the Health Inspector", a character's fear of being raped in prison is used as a comedic device. In fact, fear of homosexual prison rape is presented as the driving force of neighbor Tom's personality, to explain his "non-black" behavior.
** ''[[The Boondocks]]'' also had a "[[To Catch a Predator]]" clip, where Chris Hansen (Chris "Handsome" to the would-be predator) was raped by the man he was supposed to have caught looking for a young boy. Turns out the guy [[Genre Savvy|knew he was being set up]], and only wanted to rape Chris Hansen.
* ''[[Drawn Together]]'', being a [[Dead Baby Comedy]], has this in scores. A particularly twisted example is in the episode "Little Orphan Hero", where Captain Hero, in his childhood montage, disobeys his mother by going to a keg party dressed as a promiscuous woman. At the party, he is promptly gang raped on top of a pinball machine, shouting in a woman's voice, "Leave me alone!", in a parody of the film ''[[The Accused]]'', despite being by far the largest man there (and having super-powers). Captain Hero also sodomized his parents and Xandir in an attempt to [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|erase their memories]]
* ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' had a skit about a (male) "rape ghost" raping males in a haunted house (and explicitly not raping the females).
* ''[[Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law]]'' has a scene in one episode with Phil trying to establish dominance over Doggie Daddy , while Doggie just looks onward uninterested.

** Implied in another episode, where an incarcerated Birdman is shown in a montage being married to a fellow inmate. While the whole ordeal is revealed in the end to be {{spoiler|[[Overly Pre-Prepared Gag|an elaborate surprise birthday party]]}}, the marriage is stated to have been real.
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''. "Homer Vs. Dignity." Homer. A panda suit. A male panda.
▲== Stand-up Comedy ==
▲* Dave Chappelle did a stand up bit about a serial serial rapist who targeted men. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLWlBgj0uOc&feature=player_embedded Available here]. That said, most of the humor coming from the bit is less about the actual rapes being funny and more about society's expectations on how men should usually react to it being absurd.
▲* In her (semi-)autobiography ''Book Club Selection'', [[Kathy Griffin]] tells a story about witnessing an appearance by [[Depraved Bisexual|Andy]] [[Drugs Are Bad|Dick]] at a college in Florida in which he arrived late and [[Stoners Are Funny|stoned as fuck]] and pretended not to have a stand-up routine planned and called the audience "faggots" for a while, and then gave an audience member a completely undesired lapdance. He then invited a random 400-pound man (really a plant who was part of his group) up onstage from the audience to sing a song. Andy then [[Drag Queen|dressed as a go-go girl]] and began to dance along with the man's singing, at which point the man [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It|lost control of himself]], grabbed Andy, lifted his skirt (and revealed he was [[Going Commando|wearing nothing under it]]), threw him down and raped him (well, pretended to) and ran offstage. Andy began screaming "I was just ''raped'', [[You Bastard|and you did]] ''[[You Bastard|nothing]]''!" at the horrified audience, at which point someone hit the fire alarm and everything went apeshit. It's [[Dude, Not Funny|not funny]] by most people's standards, but it's hard not to laugh at the way she tells it. [http://youtu.be/dHTcUQjJfgM Here] she is telling the story onstage.
▲* Louis CK jokes that if he had a time machine, he wouldn't [[Hitler's Time Travel Exemption Act|kill Hitler]], he'd rape him. View it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loOTAw5GyI8 here.]
