One of the fundamental types of verbal gag in comedic television, especially the [[
A [[Double Entendre]] is a word or phrase which was meant to be taken in two different ways. Archetypically, one meaning is obvious, literal, and innocent. The other has a usually taboo or sexual [[Subtext]].
Line 10:
On the other hand, if the Double Entendre fails to be funny on the obvious level, it can result in a show which is "safe" for broadcast in family time slots but which younger viewers do not enjoy. [[Self-Demonstrating Article|In other words, the joke has to work well]] [[Bi the Way|both ways]].
British comedy is especially fond of the device, especially when the joke "works" on both levels. The [[Double Entendre]] predates television, of course. Shakespeare was very fond of [[Get Thee to
When the viewer is specifically led toward the sexual meaning until [[The Reveal]], this is an [[Innocent Innuendo]]. When the non-sexual meaning is perfectly clear but the innuendos continue, it's [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]. When the non-sexual meaning doesn't make any sense, this can constitute an [[Unusual Euphemism]]. When the sexual meaning has been lost due to language change, it's [[Get Thee to
If someone makes a [[Double Entendre]], but the recipient fails to see it as anything other than a literal statement, it becomes [[Entendre Failure]]. If someone makes a perfectly innocent statement that others interpret as a [[Double Entendre]] anyway, it becomes an [[Un Entendre]]. Extreme cases of double-entendre interpretation can lead to [[Freud Was Right]].

* In the trailer for episode 2 of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', Rosette goes on about how she's going to lose something precious, carrying on about it (without providing any actual description to the item being lost) to the point where one would think she's going to end up losing her virginity. In the episode itself, it turns out the precious something she loses is her ''gun''.

* In ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]: Tokyo 2040'', Linna attempts to explain why she wants to stay in Tokyo (actually to stay with the Knight Sabers, an incognito superteam, but she can't say that), but if you take the dialogue at face value, it sounds more like she's awkwardly trying to [[Coming Out Story|come out]] to her very traditional mother.

In ''Curse of the Wererabbit'', the object of Wallace's affections steps behind two very large marrows and sighs as she bemoans, "Victor just doesn't appreciate my produce." In another scene, Wallace finds himself suddenly naked, and quickly dons a cardboard box which reads "May Contain Nuts."

* The song "Let's Duet" from ''Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story'' turns several innocuous lines into double entendres by virtue of well-(or poorly-)timed pauses. Such as: "In my dreams, you're blowing me... some kisses." and "I just want to beat off... all my demons."
** Played for laughs when Dewey sings a sweet song about holding hands at his high school dance. It's an utterly banal, benign song, but it inspires all the kids to dance provocatively; the girls even rip their shirts open. The outraged preacher later insists that everyone knows what "hold your hand" ''really'' means; a befuddled Dewey insists it means exactly that.

So the adults laughed at the idea of Frollo wearing a truss, and the kids (and some of the adults) laughed at the idea of Frollo wearing a dress.

* A non-sexual example: ''[[The Most Dangerous Game]]''. A story about a hunter who grows tired of hunting animals, so he kidnaps people and sets them loose in a jungle for the purpose of hunting them. The ''title'' in this case is the double entendre. One meaning is that the actual sport of hunting is the most dangerous game to play, but the other meaning is that humans are the most dangerous game to hunt.(And therefore the most challenging according to the hunter's logic.)
* Another non-sexual example is Percy Bysshe Shelley's famous poem, "Ozymandias" in which on a shattered ruins of a colossal statue, the inscription reads:
Line 352:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" }}
** The original meaning of "despair" was that nobody could hope to equal his achievements, but seeing the statue in ruins, the reader might "despair" to find that all beings are mortal.

** The song in question is ''real'', and is attributed on [http://www.amazon.com/Art-Bawdy-Song-Henry-Aldrich/dp/B000001Q93 this album] to Josquin des Prez (c. 1450-1521).

Cimorene's father, upon hearing that she doesn't want to marry Prince Therandil, responds with, "Well, it's not exactly a brilliant match, but I didn't think you'd care how big his kingdom is." The voice actor on the audiobook takes it one step further by including a significant pause between "his" and "kingdom."

Spike's talk of 'dancing' (fighting to the death) with Buffy [[Sex Is Violence|increasingly takes on sexual overtones]] until he's driven to make an actual pass at her. Buffy's disgusted rejection of the idea that Spike will be the one to kill her is played exactly like Buffy rejecting the idea that she will ever become his lover.

* Almost every television series starring Rik Mayall (''[[The Young Ones]]'') featured a number of double entendres every episode; in fact, the original intent of calling one series ''[[Bottom]]'' was to force double entendre on the viewers: "I saw that 'Bottom' on telly the other night -- no, wait, that's not what I meant." The original title of the show, "Your Bottom", made the double entendre even worse: "I saw Your Bottom on TV yesterday."
** There a bit of this within-show, as well:''"Now can we just get our equipment out? I mean, get our '''tackle''' out... no, I mean, get our '''GEAR''' out! Oh my God, you can't say '''anything''' without some dreadful double entendre lurking round the corner!"''
*** Gleefully played with in one Bottom live show where characters, actors and audience all know of the (barely) double meanings. "For hours we clung to your ''sturdy organ'' as we were ''tossed'' about in the ''foamy''... ''brine''!"
** Surprisingly, ''[[The New Statesman]]'', for a Mayall series, is relatively free of double entendres, except for the lead character's name, Alan B'Stard. Maybe the rule regarding Mayall should be that he double-entendres himself to death in any role written by either himself or Ben Elton. His double-entendres as the various Lord Flashhearts on ''[[
* ''[[Doctor Who]]'', "The Doctor Dances": Dancing is used as a euphemism for sex, showing off the Doctor's problems with intimacy and Captain Jack's flexibility, among other things. In a rare visual double entendre, the Doctor ''literally'' slips Jack a banana. This is reused in "The Girl in the Fireplace", when Reinette asks the Doctor to dance with her. Notably, this episode also features the Doctor utilizing a banana. (He visits a really wild party, gets very drunk and may have invented the banana daiquiri. {{spoiler|Except that he doesn't.}})

He then took a large spoonful of gravy and poured it onto the top and watched it drip down the sides. And then he talks to his wife while continuing to pour gravy on it:
Line 596:
'''Mom:''' Oh, alright... If you insist... ''(suddenly very serious)'' It reminds me of a Strata Cone Volcano, which builds up in the Earth's crust to make it BIG.... and STRONG... ''(sexy hissing)''<br />

* ''[[Will and Grace]]'' is built on double entendre.
* The Brazillian show ''Casseta e Planeta: urgente'' was known to use a joke about a woodman that remove latex from wood. The joke was about him removing "milk" (the latex) from wood. Wood in portuguese means "pau", that is also an euphemism for cock. In context, it means he was having a handjob. It's was a little subverted because the woodman called the double entendre just moments before was said. It reached extreme levels when he interrupted a commercial about a satellite that could take pictures of all over the world (possibly the google earth) and complained about the overusing of the joke while LOOKING STRAIGHT to the satellite.

Harvey Korman predicted his wife Donna would say "a drink." Donna's response: "It's either pizza or sex..." As the audience roared with laughter, Harvey topped it: "With or without sausage?"

* The Hungarian rapper ''Sub Bass Monster'''s song ''4 ütem'' (4 phases) has lyrics that are equally suitable at describing the workings of an internal combustion engine and being a [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness|needlessly over-complicated description]] of smoking, to hilarious effect.

** "California Gurls" also has a phallic entendre: "Sun-kissed skin, so hot, we'll melt your popsicle".
* Lots of traditional British [[Folk Music|folk songs]]. The "Bonny Black Hare" starts off with the singer aiming his "gun" at a "black hare" that's hidden under a woman's skirt. During the second verse, it abandons this metaphor and is just them having sex. "The Cuckoo's Nest" (recorded by Steeleye Span as "Drink Down The Moon") is just as bad ("I'll give any lass a shilling and a bottle of the best/Just to rumple up the feathers of her cuckoo's nest"). For more of this sort of thing, see [[Bawdy Song]].
* [[Billy Joel]]'s song "Christie Lee" is about a saxophone player who meets a woman at his gig, who is impressed by his skill and comes home with him so he can "perform" for her. In case it wasn't clear, we get this lyric: "He couldn't see that Christie Lee was a woman/who didn't need another lover; all she wanted was the [[A Worldwide Punomenon|sax]]!"

Line 875:

* Brian Hyland's ''Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini'' sounds like it's about a bashful teenage girl in said outfit. It was actually about Brian's 2-year-old (at the time) daughter.

That's why we're practically '''bursting''' at the seams to reveal Super Robot Taisen® OG Saga: Endless Frontier for [[Nintendo DS]]. As a continuation of the Atlus Spoils fan appreciation program, each and every launch copy of Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier will be a premium boxed release, with a bonus soundtrack CD featuring music from the game included in the final retail package. My friends, this is one '''stacked''' action RPG. Contrasting the deep story and characterizations is the fast-paced, fighter-style combat engine. '''Juggling''' your opponent in the air, chaining together combos, using your entire party in concert... these may not be your typical RPG combat concepts, but with the quick, responsive battles in Endless Frontier, they're the name of the game. Behind the fighter mechanics are all of the nuanced RPG fixings genre fans have come to expect. We'd like to emphasize: this game is more than just the fights. This is a '''fully-developed, well-rounded''' adventure. Journey across a variety of worlds, ranging from an apocalyptic wasteland covered with the hulks of downed spaceships, to a fantastical place of fairy tales and dark magic. Join Haken Browning: gunslinger, professional bounty hunter, and amateur ladies' man-along with his motley crew of robots, were-beasts, secret agents, and '''busty princesses'''-as they delve deep into the mysteries of how their worlds came to be and face a threat that imperils the multiverse. There's so much game here, Faithful, you may just get '''lower back pain''' from the effort! With its unique combat and '''titillating''' story, this is one sci-fi action RPG sure to '''stick out''' this spring.}}

Arriving at the front desk, Fred, quite calmly states the truth, "I'm looking for my wife, she just came in here with my best friend." The clerk, nonplussed, simply says, "Look, we don't want any trouble here", to which Fred responds, "What kind of a hospital is this?" to which the clerk replies, "This is a hotel; the hospital is across the street."

* Very useful in [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]], as seen in this example from ''[[Transformers]]: [[
{{quote| '''Rattrap:''' So, where ya been, bird-dog?<br />
'''Silverbolt:''' Scout patrol.<br />
'''Rattrap:''' Oh, yeah, scouting the enemy. Find any new positions? }}
** Though that double entendre is acknowledged rather than something the writers tried to slip past, as Silverbolt punches Rattrap in response to that remark.
* ''[[Star Wars:
{{quote| '''Ventress:''' My dear General, there is ''nothing'' you have that I could want.}}
* Also used in ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' in a conversation between the speedster Nanosec and the time-slowing Slo-Mo as they exchange meaningful looks.
Line 1,192:
** Explaining how she established project Batman Beyond:
{{quote| '''Amanda Waller:''' Bruce's DNA was easy enough to obtain: he left it all over town. (Terry reacts with an [[Eye Take]]). Not remotely what I meant.}}

{{quote| '''Harvey:''' Every time this squirrel opened his coat, it was to pull out a ''critical tool''--<br />
'''Mentok:''' I'll say! }}
* ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' occasionally dabbles in this. Like in the episode "Run For Your Ed", where Rolf is seen carting away a giant sausage and boasting "Rolf's giant wiener will fetch a pretty penny at the market".
* The ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' Speedy Gonzales shorts feature a few of these, when the mice need to get Speedy's help and someone knows how to contact him...
{{quote| '''Mouse 1:''' He knows my sister!<br />
'''Mouse 2:''' Speedy Gonzales knows ''eeeeeeeeverybody's'' sister... }}

** ''Everything'' Black Cat says. I distinctly remember a line about Spider-Man getting his goop in her hair.
** Possibly unintentional, but MJ says this to Peter and Gwen in the New Year's Eve episode:
{{quote| '''MJ:''' You [two] could go down to Times Square, watch the ball drop. ''(winks)''}}
* One interesting stretch of dialogue in ''[[
{{quote| '''Odd:''' Hey, speaking of "hot chocolate", I finally got a date with Heidi.<br />

** "Fruit tart" is regarded as something of a secret code in Mai/Zuko circles, given the contexts in which they're mentioned.
** When a guard is ordered to protect Mai, she replies with, "I don't need any protection." To which Zuko chuckles and replies, "Believe me, she doesn't." Intentional or not, [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|you will never hear that line the same again]].
Line 1,264:
** The "We Put the Spring in Springfield" song from "Bart After Dark" is a pretty clever one. It's the episode where Bart (and subsequently everyone else in town) finds out about that Burlesque house. So that "spring" could refer to other things...
* ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' has Timmy's Mom saying "He's so affectionate" with a nervous-looking smile when [[Adam Westing|Adam West/Catman]] hugs her legs. This causes Timmy's dad to become jealously angry.

{{quote| '''Ganon:''' ''I want that princess!''}}
* In episode two of ''[[Static Shock]]'', Virgil is talking to his doctor, trying to figure out if the Bang Baby gas he breathed in will have any adverse affects aside from his superpowers. He does this while not telling the doctor that he inhaled Bang Baby gas. It sounds like he's talking to the doctor about puberty and being sexually active until Virgil realizes that's what it sounds like.
Line 1,275:
'''Archer:''' Um, phrasing?<br />
'''Malory:''' Regale him with exciting tales of ISIS exploits! }}

'''Candace:''' Oh, pardon my reach. I'm just getting in the most convenient position to drive this stake into the ground. }}
* ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'': When Peep, a salesman, is hitting on Heloise and showing off his merchandise at the same time, she yells "[[Getting Crap Past the Radar|I'm not interested in your junk!]]"
