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. Furthermore, he will only date men as "straight-acting" as he is.
* '''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.
