Freudian Slippery Slope: Difference between revisions

Similar to Dicking... sorry, [[Digging Yourself Deeper]] and Sammy's Ass Eye... I mean [[Ignore the Disability|Sammy's Glass Eye]], which it tends to be used in [[Animaniacs|conj]][[Unusual Euphemism|uga-]]er, conjunction with. However, in Sammy's [[Slash Fic|Slash]]—er, ''Glass'' Eye, the humor comes from an upright member... up''tight'' member of society inadvertently mentioning an embastarding—embarrassing or nude... rude peculiarity they had taken penis -- ''pains'', sorry—to avoid. In this case, tit -- ''it'', even—cum... ''comes'' from a character accidentally exposing their genitals. [[Overly Long Gag|Their thoughts, their thoughts!]]

 

Sometimes a character in a book or show has a lot on their mind. And try their best, they just can't stop blurting it out in a [[Freudian Slip]], at all. And of course [[That Came Out Wrong]] and any attempt to stop the flow just results in more vulgarities. If they're trying to impress someone, they're just out of luck. Of course, those with a [[Hair-Trigger Temper]] will always interpret the error as intentional. If you're discussing matters with a stranger, you'll be mistaken for a pervert.

 

 

[[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshades]] may be well hung... may well be hung, I mean. So [[A Date with Rosie Palms|fap]]—I mean [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|clop]]—dang it! ''[[Clap Your Hands If You Believe|clap]]''--[[Clap Your Hands If You Believe|your hands if you believe!]]

== [[Fan Works|Fan Wan - sorry, Fan WORks]] ==

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4411143/1/ This] ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' [[Fanfic]] is an [[Egregious]] example of this. ''Repeatedly.''

'''Light''': I don't think you should return to this bar anytime soon. }}

* In ''[[Turnabout Storm]]'', [[Ace Attorney|Phoenix]] can't help but to mention [[Fish Eyes|eyes]] when talking with [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|Derpy]] [[Memetic Bystander|Hooves]]. It gets to the point that he just starts saying "me" intead of "eye"- ''[[Ignore the Disability|EYE MEAN "I"!]]''

''The reality that he had quite possibly just said the most awkward thing in his life hit Light when the sound of chairs scraping against the floor reverberated all through the room as everyone in the task force turned to stare at him.'' }}

{{quote| '''Light:''' [[Ho Yay|I'll demonstrate with Ryuzaki.]] [[Hilarity Ensues|As absurd and seemingly impossible it is to imagine, just pretend that he's some nice, beautiful young girl, and you want to date her.]]}}

== [[Film|Dild - err... Film]] ==

* ''Wild Wild West'' (1999). Jim West and Artemus Gordon are discussing Rita Escobar.

'''Jim:''' Let's just get some shut ass. }}

* ''[[American Graffiti]]'' (courtesy Wikiquote):

'''Terry''': Yeah? Well, get in and I'll let you feel it... I mean, you know, you can touch it... uh... I'll let you feel the upholstery. }}

* Broken out in the interrogation scene in ''[[Austin Powers]]: Goldmember'', where the spy is accused of being obsessed with daddy issues.

"No I dadn't!" }}

* Used frequently in ''[[Liar Liar]]'', the slips being so direct that they barely even count as slips anymore.

{{quote| '''Flik:''' Your highness! The warriors have called a secret meeting to make plans for circus - ''circumventing'' the oncoming horde, so that we can trapeze - ''trap them'' with ease!}}

* In ''[[Fierce Creatures]]'', John Cleese has a brilliant monologue about lemurs wherein he is unable to go five words without mentioning [[Jamie Lee Curtis]]' breasts. After thoroughly making a fool of himself, he apologizes for his "Freudian slit... er, slut... slot!".

** That's not entirely true. Her rant at them goes something (but probably not exactly, since I'm writing this from memory) like this:

{{quote| '''Jenna''': You're just two selfish men with huge ... egos arguing over which of you is the bigger penis! I mean, child. (pauses for composure) Long wanger. (another pause) Throbbing cock! Oh God, I don't even know what I'm saying anymore!}}

* In ''[[National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation]]'', Clark Griswold is shopping at a department store and tries to make small talk with a buxom female sales clerk at the lingerie counter. The trope is duly employed.

"There are plenty of shopping days until adultery...adulthood. Which is to say, Christmas. As in, Yule. Yule Log. Not a log, I don't have a log, I mean, you know...If I had a log. Not in the sense that you think I said I did." }}

* In ''[[In and Out]]'', Howard attempts to introduce Peter (who has just passionately kissed him) to his parents: "This is my Peter - uh, my *friend* Peter. We just met at the, uh, intersexual... homosection... INTERSECTION!"

* The ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise]]'' episode "A Night in Sickbay" had Archer doing this in front of T'Pol, since it was implied he had feelings for her (but he only seemed to <s>feel that</s> <s>feel those</s> have those feelings in that episode, not before or after).

** Really? I must have misinterpreted that [[Marshmallow Hell]] scene in "Shadows of P'Jem", among others.

** Which he then topped a week later... [[Crowning Moment of Funny|with a male assistant]]. Who [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight|takes it all in stride]].

* ''[[Peep Show]]'' has an interesting example of this when Mark is in therapy. During the game of word association, what Mark really thinks of is said in voiceover before he speaks.

'''Mark:''' (Sophie.) Fuck! - No, not fuck! }}

* The ''[[Fawlty Towers]]'' episode "The Germans" combines this with [[Ignore the Disability|IgnoreTheDisability]]: Basil implores Polly not to "mention [[World War II|the war]]" to a group of German guests, then proceeds to invoke the trope while talking with them himself.

{{quote| '''Basil:''' Do you wish to eat now? Or would you like to have a drink before the war...-NING! That trespassers will be tied up with piano wire- Sorry, Sorry!}}

* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' used it frequently. Very, very frequently. (Not to mention variedly. It could range from everything from the common [[Freudian Slip]] to unwelcome thoughts about gigantic teeth.)

{{quote| '''Interviewer''': From the world of the theatre we turn to the world of dental hygiene. No, no, no, no. From the world of the theatre we turn to the silver screen. We honour one of the silver screen's outstanding writer-dentists... writer-directors, Martin Curry who is visiting London to have a tooth out, for the pre-molar, er... premiere of his filling, film next Toothday--Tuesday, at the Dental Theatre... Film Theatre. Martin Curry talking to Matthew Palate--Padget!}}

** Also, in his review of ''[[Bayonetta]]'', he maintains that the fetishization going on with the character doesn't affect him at all. A minute later he says "the gameplay is adequate at breast. ''Best''." Then he continues doing them on set intervals during the rest of the review.

*** It reaches its peak when he amends a slip with the exact same word: "...And at some points, the game seems to pull death sequences out of its ass - I mean, ass..."

{{quote| Tits jugs Lu - I mean ''it's just'' Lulu, the Boob Mage - ''Black'' Mage. Sorry I'm just pretty funbags - FLUSTERED!}}

{{quote| She must have learned magic just to deal with lower back pain!}}

** And an in-character, non-sexual example as Dr. Harburg in his Phantasmagoria2 LP.

* From [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnSBIMfmv7I Kid Farm].

{{quote| If you date someone and don't wind up marrying that person, it could lead to a lot of pain. You could still secretly be in love with that person, and regret not doing the right thing and marrying Jean. I mean Jean. I mean Jean Engvall. I mean that person. Jean.}}

{{quote| Hello, I'm the Nostalgia Critic! I remember it, so you don't boobies! I mean, boobies, in the boobies boobies...uh...}}

* [[Dragon Ball Abridged]]: When Goku telepathicly reports on his fight with the Ginyu force to King Kai:

'''King Kai: Call!''' Three-way-''call''! }}

** Also from the first episode...

{{quote| '''Brent:''' Hello, I'm looking for a rack of mine named juggs.}}

** [[It Got Worse]].

 

== [[Western Animation|Western ass-motion - ANIMATION! Animation, I mean...]] ==

{{quote| '''Homer''': The score is dirty love... I mean, thirty, love! I mean, anyone for penis?!... I'll just get the cock... shuttlecock!}}

* ''[[Family Guy]]'''s version—or one of them, anyway—was an episode were Lois insisted Peter watch some marriage counseling tapes with her. They turned out to be pornos that sent the woman out of the room, did some dirty things, and then demanded the viewer buy the next tape to see what happened next. Each progressive tape was more expensive, though...

'''Peter:''' Now Lois, our marriage can't be measured in [[Nipple-and-Dimed|nipples and dimes]]. I mean nickels and boobs. ...money. }}

** Another example, regarding [[Unconfessed Unemployment|Peter losing his job and his reluctance to tell Lois]]:

'''Peter:''' What are you talking about, Lois? I feel great. I haven't got a job in the world! }}

* Subverted in ''[[Futurama]]'', "The Deep South": trapped underwater, Hermes seems a little ''too'' eager to [[I'm a Humanitarian|resort to eating Zoidberg]], as he suggests a lunch of "lobster Zoidberg... I mean, Lobster Newberg... [[Zig Zagged Trope|I mean, ''Doctor'' Zoidberg."]]
