Gag Penis/Playing With
Basic Trope: Large penis size Played for Laughs as opposed to seriously affecting sex life.
- Played Straight:
- Bob's penis measures 14" fully erect and the lump is visible through his pants, and he's the center of attention at the house party.
- Bob brags to Dave about his size by holding up a hot dog bun while gesturing toward a woman and pointing to his groin with the other hand.
- Exaggerated:
- Actually, it measures 3' flaccid and dangles in one of his pant legs.
- Bob lies down on the ground with his balls pressed against the base of a governmental flagpole.
- Inverted:
- It measures 2" fully erect.
- Bob presses a microscope against his crotch.
- Subverted:
- Bob holds up a banana for a moment, then sets it aside next to the other groceries...
- Bob is a grower, not a show-er
- Double Subverted: ...and grabs an even larger cucumber to wave at his girlfriend/wife when she asks if he's finished.
- Justified: Bob is in a fraternity contest or TV game show requiring him to use these jokes to proceed.
- Deconstructed: Bob's girlfriend dumps him because she thinks he's only concerned with giving her his banana.
- Reconstructed: Bob only uses these gags during foreplay or when context is otherwise appropriate.
- Parodied: All men's penis sizes are indicated by varieties of trees or whales, while women are shown next to these symbols in actual size... and the women have expressions of anticipation.
- Lampshaded: "Bob, all the women want to climb your mountain."
- Averted:
- No one jokes about penis size, or jokes are about other aspects of sex (romance, attitudes) instead of equipment.
- Large penis sizes are seriously believed to affect a man's sex life, and Bob's larger-than-usual penis causes problems in his relationships.
- Enforced: The Moral Guardians want to keep explicit sexual imagery out of TV, so symbols are hidden in the show as Parental Bonuses.
- Invoked: Bob carries several phallic objects in his backpack or suitcase, and the one he's holding in his hand indicates his interest in the girl he's curently looking at.
- Defied: Bob avoids such symbols to avoid offending the girl he's currently dating.
- Discussed:
- Conversed:
- Played For Laughs: By definition, this trope is always played for laughs.
- Played For Drama: By definition, that would be Bigger Is Better in Bed, and not this trope.
