The [[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|Spear]] [[Spear Counterpart|Counterpart]] of [[Gag Boobs]] and the very opposite of [[Teeny Weenie]], a character with a giant penis that causes comedy. Usually much less explicit than gag boobs, as most TV shows can't actually ''show'' penises as much as just referring to so-and-so's tripod, trouser snake, garden hose etc. Though some shows are able to use visual means of implying the same point.
 
A gold mine of sexual entendre for shows, and usually applies to either the hero or a dumb jock-type guy.
Line 13:
Owing to the extreme exaggerations possible in sequential art, this is a staple of both [[Ecchi]]/[[Hentai]] [[Anime]] and [[Sex Comedy]] [[Web Comics]].
 
For when giant penises improve the sex instead of improving the comedy, see [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]]. Not to be confused with a [[BDSM|Penis Gag]].
 
This Trope is [[Older Than They Think]], and is in fact, [[Older Than Feudalism]], at least. The original Greek dramas would often feature comedic actors dressed as satyrs who wore costumes with exaggerated genitalia. Which is, incidentally, where the word "satire" derived from.
 
{{noreallife|this is All The Tropes, not Tropes After Dark.}}
Line 67 ⟶ 69:
** Mel Brooks used yet another version of the Gag Penis in ''[[Robin Hood]]: Men in Tights''; Robin and Marian are behind a screen, and Robin's sword creates a silhouette in just the right spot...
* Mini-Me of ''[[Austin Powers]]'' fame has one of these. "If you ever get tired, you can use it as a kickstand!" "You're a frickin' ''tripod''!"
* In ''A Chinese Torture Chamber Story'', {{spoiler|a Chinese thief has a literal horse penis transplant. [[Played for Laughs|Played for]] [[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|slapstick]].}}
* ''[[Young Frankenstein]]''. It's noted that if all parts of the Monster were in proportion to his size, "He would have an enormous schwanzstucker!" Later on, Elizabeth is [[Black Comedy Rape|raped by the Monster]] but likes it and [[Victim Falls For Rapist|falls in love with him]] because of his enormous size. At the end Inga learns that her new husband Frederick traded part of his brain for the Monster's endowment, and she has the same reaction.
* Played for both drama and comedy in ''[[Boogie Nights]]''. Eddie Adams's huge member gets him a job as porn star Dirk Diggler. The first time he pulls it out on film, we only see the amazed silent reactions of the crew. The prosthetic penis would go on to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Line 110 ⟶ 112:
* [[Discworld]]:
** Possibly one of the very largest examples, the aptly named "Long Man" is 20,000 tons of long burial mound with two small round burial mounds located either side of one end. The runic inscription on it reads - roughly - "I've Got A Great Big Tonker". When a dwarf, after seeing and admiring the earthen mounds, {{spoiler|goes inside and meets the aptly-named Long Man himself, a mythological figure with a healthy appreciation for not wearing any clothes. "Cor", the dwarf says, "you don't half look like your picture."}}
** Though size wasn't actually specified, a comparable brand of humor was exercised in ''[[Maskerade]]'', when Nanny Ogg served her [[Love Potion|Chocolate Delight with Special Secret Sauce]] to the directors of the opera house. The one man with the forethought to open a window and let in some cold air couldn't do so, as he didn't dare get up from his seat.
* The [[MASH (novel)|book]] and [[M*A*S*H (film)|movie]] versions of ''[[MASH|M*A*S*H]]'' had this as a minor plot point with Walter "Painless Pole" Waldowski, the surgical unit's dentist. His assistant makes a lot of money selling shower peephole privileges to those curious enough to look, and one enlisted man is overheard commenting to another that he'd "love to see it angry".
* [[The Dresden Files|From the short story "Heorot"]], when Harry is describing the grendelkin:
{{quote|"Definitely male. Terrifyingly so -- I'd seen smaller fire extinguishers."}}
Line 135 ⟶ 137:
** A similar Zip-Thump moment occurs on an episode of ''[[Kids in The Hall]]'' when Danny Husk's boss reveals that not only does he know Danny used to be a porn star, but that they own his old studio. He then asks Danny to show him the goods, which leads to the aforementioned sound effect.
* On ''[[Hustle]]'', Ash "Three Socks" Morgan acquired his nickname after his first visit to the prison showers.
* ''[[Friends]]'', in the episode "The One with the Dozen Lasagnas", Rachel's boyfriend, Paolo tries to seduce Phoebe when he's naked on her massage table. She later tells the gang: "boy scouts could have camped under there."
* ''[[The Young Ones]]'' episode "Nasty" may possibly qualify for this trope - [[Scenery Censor|"Argh! Neil! How are you holding that flower pot up?"]]
* The ''[[Upright Citizens Brigade]]'' TV show dedicated their Season 1 finale to a mock telethon for the "Little Donny Foundation", raising money for a young boy with an enormous (mosaic'ed) penis, of which he's unaware. Essentially 30 minutes of this trope, but played completely deadpan.
Line 151 ⟶ 153:
'''Doyle:''' No, he’s human.
'''Cordy:''' Then why is his name...''oh...'' }}
* In one episode of ''[[Scrubs]]'', Dr. Kim Briggs, in order to [[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|dick around]] with JD, draws a long line on a chart claiming that it's representative of the average length of the penis which has the patient casually replying "Sounds about right" and JD looks shocked and embarrassed while Turk silently agrees. After leaving in a huff, JD attempts to call her bluff by pulling back the patient's bedsheet. [http://www.youtube.com/watch#v=FKewhvOYAwE "OH MY GOD!"]
* A character on ''[[Testees]]'' (the guys test drugs for money) took something that caused his penis grow to epic proportions. Unfortunately for him once he became erect he promptly passed out due to lack of blood.
* Kryten in ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' has a "groinal attachment" that he uses as a vacuum cleaner.
Line 162 ⟶ 164:
* On ''[[The X-Files]]'', Mulder and Scully come across a [[Literal Genie]] and learn that her previous "owner" had died because he wished himself one of these.
{{quote|"''Chronic morbid tumescence.''"}}
* Played straight in the cult French-Canadian series "[[Dans Uneune Galaxie PresPrès Dede Chez Vous|Dans une galaxie pr?de chez vous]]". [[Card-Carrying Villain]] Scientist Brad Spitfire is revealed to have a small penis after being hit by a naked ray (A beam which sole purpose is to render people naked), prompting Petrolia to exclaim "Wow, the nose really is in proportion to..." before being cut off. On the other hand, when the Captain is accidentally turned into a baby after spending too much time on a time-bomb planet, Valence comments, while changing him, that he's very well equipped for his age.
* In ''[[Green Wing]]'', Martin, judging by the reactions to the nude portrait Sue White keeps in her office, has a large one.
* Averted in ''[[The Sopranos]]''. Christopher is revealed through a strip search to have a small penis but this does not affect his sex life in any way.
* In ''[[Better Off Ted]]'', Veronica and other characters reference Ted's junk.
{{quote|'''Ted:''' I only use my junk for good, not evil.}}
* In an episode of ''[[Still Standing]]'', Brian had apparently been skipping showers after gym because he was embarassedembarrassed that his penis wasn't the same size as everyone else. His father assumed that he was ashamed of his shortcomings. We learn soon enough that Brian's issue is quite the opposite.
* In ''[[Monarch of the Glen]]'', [[Only Known by Their Nickname|Golly]] got his nickname when the wind blew his kilt aside and a girl who witnessed it said, "Golly!".
* ''[[Party Down]]'': Ron's humongous dick (briefly shown on screen) got attention of porno producer on adult entertainment awards afterparty they were catering.
Line 179 ⟶ 181:
* Rodney Carrington has a song "Play Your Cards Wrong", where the narrator states that his life is an absolute mess, but he's endowed enough to make porn stars cry. In all things, balance, I guess. Not to mention his [[Audience Participation Song]], "I've Got a 12 Inch Pecker".
* Frank Zappa used this trope often. Played relatively 'straight' in 'Bwana Dik', a song wherein each member of the band claims to have the largest member, and mocked in 'Penis Dimension': "Do you worry / do you worry a lot/ that the size of your cock is not monstrous enough?"
* This is part of [[Ivor Biggun]]'s bread and butter. Probably the most blatant case is "[[PunA Worldwide Punomenon|John Thomas Allcock"]]. To quote the chorus:
{{quote|He's the man with the biggest plonker in the world
He keeps it in his trousers tightly curled.
Line 238 ⟶ 240:
** In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 3'', Para-Medic tells Big Boss about how Godzilla grew huge when he was exposed to nuclear radiation. Big Boss, who was exposed to a nuclear blast, suggests 'maybe that's why my pants have been so tight lately'.
* In ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines]]'', there is a [[Show Within a Show|radio ad]] for men with penises that get in the way of normal life. "Don't let your piece interfere with your peace of mind."
* One obligatory quest in ''[[Might and Magic|Might and Magic II]]'' requires the player to find and defeat a cult leader named "The Long One". On the surface, his name might come from [[Double Entendre|his ability to turn into a giant, serpentine dragon]]; however, to complete the quest, the player has to recover his loincloth, which grants the wearer a bonus to his Personality score. Oh, and his cultists are Crazed Natives, a type of mob depicted as [[Nubile Savage]]s. Yeah, [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|it's clear what the message here is.]]
* ''[[Dante's Inferno (video game)|Dante's Inferno]]''; the Devil is hung like a horse.

Line 248 ⟶ 252:
* Claiming Marten in ''[[Questionable Content]]'' has one of these was a running joke for a while. It's never actually been confirmed that he does, but [[Genius Ditz|Raven]] was convinced he did, and Dora has never argued the point.
* In ''[[You Damn Kid]]'', an arc centers around the main character's father buying an enormous fake penis.
* ''[[Blur the Lines]]'' features a comic where Rick comments on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20160305080635/http://www.blur-the-lines.com/?p=118 bulge of a store mannequin].
{{quote|'''Rick:''' ...It's the dead of winter, his package shouldn't be nearly so pronounced...}}
* When ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' did a [[Harry Potter|Voldemort]] parody, it recreated the scene where he goes from a shriveled infant to a grown man. Torg's response?
Line 254 ⟶ 258:
 
== Web Original ==
* An [[MemeticChuck MutationNorris Facts|Internet Chuck Norris Fact]] goes something like "Chuck Norris once walked down a busy city street with an erection. There were no survivors."
** Of course, he's got ''nothing'' on [[Memetic Mutation|David Bowie]].
** Another one simply states "horses are hung like Chuck."
Line 272 ⟶ 276:
** And speaking of Ron Jeremy, an episode of ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' based on the Surreal Life depicted him using his erect member as a jousting lance.
** And that one episode of ''The Surreal Life'', where the real Ron actually was naked. He later said he was somewhat ''peeved'' that the censoring box went "practically down to [his] knees".
* On an episode of ''[[Re BootReBoot]]'', Enzo and AndrAIa are in a Toon-style game. Towards the end of the game, the user is flashed by one of the binomes. With his back to the screen, he opens his coat... *THUD*
* In the ''[[Clone High]]'' episode where Joan pulls a [[Sweet Polly Oliver]], Genghis Khan passes her in the locker room... accompanied by a dragging sound and Joan's shocked gasp.
* In an episode of ''[[The Boondocks]]'', straitlaced lawyer Tom Dubois has a lifelong fear of being [[Prison Rape|anally raped in prison]]; it opens with him having a nightmare involving a prison shower, an inmate with a swinging [[Pixellation|censoring mosaic]] reaching past his knees, and a dropped bar of soap... (There was no mosaic on the DVD, though.)
Line 279 ⟶ 283:
** When Maggie was born, Homer confused the umbilical cord with genitalia. His remark before the clarification? "Ah, it's a boy... '''And what a boy!'''"
** There are more examples of Ned packing serious meat. From the suggestive "foot-long" scene between himself and Maude, through to his careful wearing of an EXTRA-LARGE fig-leaf when he plays Adam in one of his home-made Bible videos. And, given how modestly Christian he is, it's probably a safe bet that he isn't exaggerating...
* On ''[[Robot Chicken]]'', the Surreal Life cast is involved in a [[The Lord of the Rings]] mission. You can guess what Ron Jeremy eventually discards his axe for while his horse does an [[Eye Take]]. The long censor box even knocks the enemy off his horse.
* ''[[American Dad]]'' parodied this along with the stereotype that African American males have large penises. Klaus, the goldfish with a German man's brain got his brain transplanted into an black man's body. He then proceeded to purchase condoms. At the drug store, he passes the smalls, passes the mediums, passes the larges, and finally pulls out a massive trash bag. After a few suggestive brow winks and hip thrusts, he fills the bag with boxes of medium-sized condoms.
