* Deliciously satirized in a sketch from the first season of ''SaturdayNightLive[[Saturday Night Live]]'' with Larraine Newman as a young Anna Freud (Sigmund's daughter) innocently describing to her father (Dan Aykroyd) a series of dreams she had about him that are fraught with increasingly obvious "Freudian" symbolism and content, all centering upon multiple men offering her their bananas, but she only ever wanted her father's. Meanwhile, Freud practically goes into seizures as he reacts to the implications he's reading into them; at the end, when she inquires what it all means, he reassures her that "sometimes a banana is just a banana".
** And followed up with a cautionary "Don't tell your mother".
* The Zande from Deadliest Warrior has the Kpinga, a multi-edged [[Buffy-Speak|throwing knife-sawblade-thingy]], and the Makraka, a large sickle. They are both intentionally forged in the shape of penises as a sign of the wielder's masculinity.
