Guns, cannons, swords, daggers... they're all penises.

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==▼
▲== [[Anime]] ==
* Happens oh-so often in ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]''. Unsurprising, given the two themes of the show are "guns" and "fanservice."
* And from ''[[S-Cry-ed]]'', who could forget: "It's thick, it's hard, and it's coming to get you!"
Line 32:
* Inversion: H.R. Giger occasionally uses guns as a yonic metaphor. Google "Birth Machine" for an example.
== [[
* All over the place in [[The Silver Age of Comic Books]]. (Not that [[The Golden Age of Comic Books]] was completely tame: just look at the page picture!)
* Used hilariously for a supremely ridiculous villain in ''[[Doom Patrol]]'', who was ridiculed all his life for having a small penis and thus built a giant cannon to attach to his crotch and called himself, what the hell, [https://web.archive.org/web/20131108020846/http://www.headinjurytheater.com/article59.htm Codpiece]. The [[Nightmare Fuel]] comes in when said super villain is defeated by a transsexual heroine... who has the power to dissolve objects.
* Towards the end of ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)|Preacher]]'', Herr Starr develops the disturbing (and hilarious) habit of holding his gun over his crotch and repeating "'''Doom''' cock...'''Doom''' cock..."
* When [[Superman]] rescues Lana from [[Lex Luthor]]'s [[Mooks]] in an early [[Post-Crisis]] comic, he faces down a Mook with a huge bazooka and asks "Overcompensating for something there, fella?"
* Spoofed in the movie posters for a 1985 ''[[Dykes to Watch Out For]]'' [http://www.flickr.com/photos/zizyphus/34585797/ comic strip] (famous for being the strip that popularized the [[Useful Notes/The Bechdel Test|The Bechdel Test]]).▼
== [[Film]] ==
Line 66 ⟶ 65:
* In the ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'' movies, the serial killer targets young women, simultaneously acting seductive towards them and trying to stab them with a knife.
== [[Live
* Discussed in ''[[30 Rock]]'':
{{quote|'''Liz:''' What is it with men and guns?
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
'''Michael:''' Okay, that's not my gun. ''Not'' my gun. }}
== [[Literature]] ==
* In the ''[[Dragaera]]'' series, several characters have [[Cargo Ship]]-level emotional involvement with their [[Empathic Weapon|EmpathicWeapons]] (which are all swords or daggers), are described as stroking them compulsively, and in some cases, the narrator comments on how [[Compensating for Something|the weapon is much larger than the wielder]].
Line 91 ⟶ 90:
* The band Machine Gun Fellatio.
* The [[Ludo]] song Go-Getter Greg: "I'm a go-getter guy with a gun on my hip, I'm just searching for that someone to be firing it."
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
▲* Spoofed in the movie posters for a 1985 ''[[Dykes to Watch Out For]]'' [http://www.flickr.com/photos/zizyphus/34585797/ comic strip] (famous for being the strip that popularized the [[
== [[Video Games]] ==
* "Hey Vyse, my cannon is bigger than yours!" - Vigoro, ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'' (he showed up in a ship with a huge freaking cannon mounted on it).
* [[Metal Gear|Revolver Ocelot]] is the [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of this trope. Just listen to his speeches about "slamming a bullet down a shaft" when reloading...
** Where does [[Depraved Bisexual]] [[Knife Nut]] Vamp keep his favorite blade? Exactly where you'd think.
* A quote from Kreia about the lightsaber in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic|
* [[Dystopia (video game)|Another heavy]] kills people with a [http://www.dystopia-game.com/wiki/images/d/de/Dys_mk2_Corp_Heavy.jpg white stream of ions].
* When visting the Citadel for the first time in ''[[Mass Effect]]'', the crew of the almost tiny [[Fragile Speedster]] ''Normandy'' is deeply impressed when passing [[The Battlestar]] ''Destiny Accension'', the biggest warship in the entire galaxy. Which leads pilot Joker to one of his usual moments of snarking:
