{{quote|''"It may interest you to know, fräulein, that the carrot and the cucumber are both very powerful sexuality symbols. They represent the masculine phallic member. And you are vishing either to chop it up or to pickle it!"''|'''Sigmund Freud''', according to ''[[My Uncle Oswald]]''}}
 
Sometimes also known as "Paging Dr. Freud..." (or, on 4chan, "[[Rule 32]]").
 
The truth is that [[All Men Are Perverts]] and [[All Women Are Lustful]], only they are too ashamed of it thus they express it in covert sexual symbolism and repressed desire everywhere, every time, with everybody. Not only is [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory|everyone Jesus in purgatory]] -- '''everything is about sex'''.
Line 10 ⟶ 9:
When any kind of long thin shape is assumed to be a penis, or any hole that is oval is a vagina, you've got '''Freud Was Right''' in play. Obsession with sex is one of the core aspects of this trope, and is frequently [[Lampshade Hanging|lamp shaded]].
 
The [[Trope Namer]] is Dr. [[Sigmund Freud]], a Viennese doctor who proposed a theory of human behavior and development based on the idea that all our behaviours are ultimately expressions of instinctual, biological desires. Like, for instance, sex.
 
Some say Freud was right about [[Everyone Is Bi|something else]], too. Not to be confused with [[All Psychology Is Freudian]] and [[Everybody Has Lots of Sex]]. Frequently leads to [[Double Entendre]] and [[Accidental Innuendo]].

{{examples}}
==Media in General==
* Any character with a [[BFSBig Freaking Sword]], [[BFGBig Freaking Gun]] or a [[Hand Cannon]] is [[Compensating for Something]]. It can be intentional (as with the [[Anvilicious]] Lesbian Desert Eagle example on the [[Hand Cannon]] page) or unintentional, but these days it's almost always [[Lampshaded]]. If the characters don't notice, the fandom definitely will. Just ask any ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' fan about length versus girth and you'll find out.
** There's a mention of something to this effect in the ''[[Dragaera]]'' book ''Dzur''. After experiencing pleasant feelings from his new [[Empathic Weapon]], Vlad notes that he finally understands why his friends who possessed similar objects were always compulsively stroking them.
* [[Anal Probing|Anal Probes]] in [[Alien Abduction]] stories; can it ''be'' more obvious?
* The various "stabbing implements" [[Slasher Movie]] killers use to "penetrate" the bodies of female teenagers.
