Line 5:
** Bob even enganges in flirting (if not making out) with women, but is always claiming that he is gay.
** Bob is a rather chauvinist pig who is also gay with no camps mannerism, he even claims that women and camp gays are inferior.
* '''Justified:''' It is simply Bob's natural personality.
** Or, he [[Flying Under the Gaydar|has to hide his gay mannerisms because he lives in a conservative area, or for the sake of his career]].
Line 13:
* '''Doubly Subverted:''' Bob is gay and seems to show no obvious gay mannerisms, but when he is around more intimate friends, he becomes a [[Camp Gay]]... but it turns out he does that just so he can fit in with them, and isn't [[Camp Gay]] naturally.
* '''Untwisted:''' When the audience is introduced to Bob, they expect him to be a [[Camp Gay]], but he is not.
* '''Parodied:''' Bob has no gay mannerisms and never acts gay, to the point where no one has any reason to believe that he is gay other than the fact that he says he is, leading to [[Have I Mentioned I Am Gay?]], as well as hilarious misunderstanding.
* '''Deconstructed:''' Bob's insecurities about being gay cause him to play up his "manliness" and actively avoid gay-themed places and events even if he would enjoy himself, whether anyone is actually questioning his masculinity or not.

* '''Reconstructed:''' Bob is able to use his lack of gay mannerisms to avoid other peoples' gaydar, helping his career or allowing him to go unnoticed in a homophobic area. More generally, Bob's lack of gay mannerisms allows the audience to see him as a well-rounded character, rather than a token gay.
Line 23:
* '''Lampshaded:''' "You know, not all of us gays are [[Camp Gay|flaming]]; some of us act just like you."
* '''Invoked:''' Bob uses the fact that he has no gay mannerisms to pretend to be straight and reap some sort of benefit from doing so.
* '''Defied:''' Bob tries to show gay mannerisms, even though they don't come naturally to him, to avoid being a [[
* '''Discussed:''' "I know Bob isn't flaming, but that doesn't mean he isn't gay."
* '''Conversed:''' "Just because Bob is Alice's gay best friend on this show doesn't mean he needs to act like a poof; not all gays are flaming, you know."
Line 29:
* '''Played For Drama:''' Bob doesn't show any gay mannerisms because he is afraid of people finding out his sexuality, for fear of homophobia.
