Mister Seahorse: Difference between revisions

{{quote|'''Kif:''' Amy, isn't it wonderful? I'm pregnant!<br />

'''Amy:''' Yes it's...great. A great miracle.<br />

 

A cisgender<ref>as in, born with a penis, and no sort of uterus to speak of</ref> male character gets pregnant through [[Functional Magic]], [[Mad Scientist|weird science]], [[Gender Bender|gender-bending]], [[Bizarre Alien Biology]], [[Freaky Friday|body swapping]], [[Furry Fandom|actually being a seahorse]] or just plain bad writing. Usually played for laughs, but it can be done seriously or even tragically, especially when it's an [[Alien Impregnation]] from a [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong]].

 

== Anime & Manga ==

* [http://www.aestheticism.com/visitors/manga/patarillo/ Patarillo]'s [[Bishounen]] Maraich is somehow able to become pregnant twice despite being 100% male and human.

** Bancoran is just 'that' manly.

** Not so much a seahorse boy as he is a kitty... Monkey... Hybrid... Thing. Other types of animal guys get pregnant, too.

* Played for laughs in [[CLAMP]]'s Muri Kuri.

* In the ''[[Animal X]]'' series (Animal X: Daichi no Okite, Animal X: Aragami no Ichizoku, Animal X: Genshi Sairai) made by Sugimoto Ami in 1990, Yuuji, one of the main characters, a gender bender, has the ability to get pregnant and does several times through the series. The series is not only very mature, but provides an even more in depth view of MPREG than even Sex Pistols/Love Pistols.

* Humorously addressed in the ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'' TSR comedy radio show. Yes, Full Metal Panic of all series. Gauron tries to get Sousuke to admit that he wants to bear his children. Even funnier is the fact that Sousuke [[Chaste Hero|thinks]] [[You Fail Biology Forever|it's possible]].

* A pseudo-example happens in ''[[Franken Fran]]''. {{spoiler|An experimental stem cell surgery caused a cardinal's brain to develop into a fully developed infant. The cardinal later convinces Fran to remove the baby so he can take his secret past life to his grave. The baby was then given to the nuns that tried to exorcise the cardinal.}}

 

 

== Comic Books ==

** Adam Warlock's female counterpart, Kismet, was artificially created by The Enclave, a group of mad scientists dedicated to creating the perfect being, as a male named Paragon. When Paragon learned of Adam's existence, he decided to transform himself into a female in order to mate with Adam and give birth to a perfect child. Adam wasn't responsive to the idea, so Kismet went in search of another possible mate. In an alternate timeline, she and Quasar (Wendell Vaughn) have a son named Starhawk. Oddly enough, Starhawk ended up sharing a body with his wife, Aleta.

* In the far future of ''[[Grendel]]'', planetary emperor Orion Assante must carry his heir to term himself, as his wife's health is too fragile to handle a pregnancy. Justified in that futuristic medicine allows for surgical implantation of the embryo, as well as a Caesarian birth.

== Fanfiction based on Anime & Manga ==

* In the [[Hellsing]] fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2847586/1/The_bWay_b_to_an_bHeir_b The Way To An Heir], Alucard attempts to impregnate Integra with a spell, but ends up getting himself pregnant. While somewhat bizarre, it actually makes sense ([http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&q=girlycard#/d1tpqnr Girlycard duh!])

* In the [[Gundam Wing]] Fandom:

** This happens so often to poor Duo Maxwell that you could probably find such a fic in five random searches.

** There is the strip that shows Japan conversing with his provinces, depicted as fully grown and taller than Japan himself. [[Bellisario's Maxim|Don't think about it too hard.]]

** There is actually [http://hetalia-kink.livejournal.com/11411.html?thread=22705811#t22705811 a request] in the fandom's [[Kink Meme]] asking for a parody of this, and the fills are ''hilarious''. Though when you think about it, it actually sorts of makes sense. Especially when you consider that the Nations aren't even ''human'' to begin with.

** Whenever mpreg isn't being [[Deconstruction|deconstructed]], however, Kurama's usually the one getting pregnant. Hiei's capability of getting pregnant has also been questioned, considering his mother's side of the family.

* [[Fruits Basket]] slash authors love doing this to Hatori, who transforms into a seahorse if hugged by a woman.

* A popular element of [[Pet Shop of Horrors]] fanfiction. Guaranteed to be a ''FOURTH'' of the total fanfics available of this fandom. Possibly justified with {{spoiler|Count D, as he is not human... But ''Leon''?!}}

* There are a lot of [[Dragonball Z]] fanfics that have either Goku or Vegeta pregnant with each other's baby.

* Poor, poor [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Edward Elric]]. This canonically extremely badass teenage [[Child Soldier]] character seems to do nothing in Yaoi fanfics except get pregnant and suffer ''horrible'' [[Badass Decay]] every time he turns around. The other father is most commonly his commanding officer who is fourteen years older than him.

** [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2077901/1/Dark_Humor Except for that time Envy was the "mom."]

*** That is also the story which has a fox trying to hump Naruto. Hilarity ensues. Repeatedly.

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4711916/1/Lost_Magic This] ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' fanfic, which manages to keep everyone in character for roughly three chapters before slowly derailing (though one character does have a justified, plot relevant character change).

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEEwFua0i_8&feature=related This video] features a couple of fangirls trying to get [[Johnny Yong Bosch]] to sign ''[[Bleach]]'' M-preg fanart.

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6792475/1/What_to_Expect_When_Youre_Not_Expecting This] [[Bleach]] Mpreg fic actually does some rationalizing...a bit. The author fully admits that it isn't really good science but that it works for her. She then takes it [[Up to Eleven]] by having the character give birth...in enemy territory.

* Parodied in the [[Code Geass]] fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5683549/1/Ambiguous Ambiguous] wherein Suzaku mysteriously gets pregnant by Lelouch. The natural way. The [[You Fail Biology Forever|biological impossibility]] of this is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]], amongst other improbabilities found in Mpreg fanfics such as the credibility of the doctor to reach such a conclusion, and of course, male seahorses.

 

== Fanfiction based on Comic Books ==

== Fanfiction based on Film ==

* [http://NonArtisticActie.deviantart.com/art/An-Unexpected-Miracle-98892118 This extremely frightening fic] has the Joker knocking up Scarecrow. It's [[The Dark Knight Saga|Nolanverse]] ... if that helps.

* Used in the [[The Rocky Horror Picture Show]] fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4735614/1/Parental_Guidance Parental Guidance] in which it's [[Transvestite|Dr. Frank N. Furter]] who ends up pregnant. Most of the ''questionable'' aspects of Mpreg are [[Hand Wave|Handwaved]]/explained via [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]. Long story short, Frank becomes pregnant (the "father" is yet to be revealed), [[Temporary Bulk Change|grows]] ''[[Balloon Belly|really]]'' [[Temporary Bulk Change|fat]], and, instead of giving birth to live young (which is the standard for most Mpreg fics), ends up laying a clutch of eggs.

 

== Fanfiction based on Literature ==

** There was a ''Harry Potter'' fanfiction in which Ron and Draco had a fertility potion spilled on them during a private detention in Snape's dungeon, leading to Ron becoming pregnant by Draco, who left him, so Ron ran off to have sex with Harry, who dumped him after finding out Ron had slept with Draco; then Ron started going out with Gary Stu!Neville, who just so happened to have a crush on Blaise, leading to Ron and Neville making out in front of Blaise and Draco in order to make them jealous, which preceded Neville finding out about Ron's pregnancy and declaring that he wanted to be the baby's father, while Mentor!Snape helped them along. There wasn't a female character in the fic.

** There is a ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfic where Harry gives birth to a kitten, after having gay sex with Voldemort while transmuted. Couldn't make this up if I tried, people.

* [[The Lord of the Rings]]:

** Feel free to alternate between [[Squick|cringing]] and [[So Bad It's Good|cracking up]] while reading the ultimate Legolas/Aragorn. {{spoiler|"My assumption is correct: your birth canal has formed."}} [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3515296/1/Hidden_Child NO. WORDS.]

* One [[Redwall]] fanfic unintentionally references this. The [[Mary Sue]] heroine's sidekick was supposedly the daughter of the canon characters Brome and Keyla. Brome is a male mouse, and Keyla, despite the [[Gender Blender Name]], is a male [[Hot Skitty-On-Wailord Action|otter]]. As they didn't appear in the fic, one can only assume the author forgot the gender and/or species of at least one of them, but the mental image wasn't fun. [[Fetish Fuel|Unless you're into that.]]

 

== Fanfiction based on Live Action TV ==

* [http://scarletts-awry.livejournal.com/205432.html I've Heard Nothing If It Wasn't the Wind], an [[Alternate Universe]] [[CSI: NY]] fanfic that treats the trope as horror and features {{spoiler|Danny as [[Mister Seahorse]] and Mac as the father, sort of (via a vengeful and very nasty demon)}}.

* There is an [[Andromeda]] [http://www.squidge.org/mufa-mpreg/viewstory.php?sid=4 fic] (NSFW) where {{spoiler|Tyr finds himself a highly evolved lover who cannot have children due to her body rejecting the sperm. So, her eggs are implanted into Tyr (no operation - a subconscious desire come true). Her nanobots even rebuild him so he gives birth the natural way.}}

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5442234/1/ This] [[Doctor Who]] fanfiction has the Doctor {{spoiler|revealing that he became female during his last regeneration and getting pregnant with Jack's baby. Twice. And the second time, Jack isn't there.}} It's explained fairly well, though. The title is "57 Academics Just Punched the Air". A cookie if you know where that's from.

** There are a couple of fairly [[Squick|squicky]] Doctor/Master slash fics involving the Master (usually in a position of some power) forcibly impregnating the Doctor through magic Time Lord science. Whilst these rarely raise [[For the Evulz|the question of why]] he would make the Doctor carry a fetus to term only to have to surgically remove it, some are well-characterized enough to point out that the Master is bat-shit insane. [http://www.whofic.com/series.php?seriesid=938 Here it is.]

* This trope has finally, officially reared its ugly head in the ''[[The Big Bang Theory|Big Bang Theory]]'' fandom with [http://archiveofourown.org/works/60048 this charming little tale.] If you can't face it, but are still curious as to who the victim is: {{spoiler|It's Sheldon.}}

{{quote| '''Arthur:''' "You think that my male manservant is PREGNANT?"<br />

'''Gaius:''' "Yes, Sire." }}

** And there's one (by the same author) where a hermaphroditic Fred Leclercq conceives sextuplets after being raped by one of his bandmates from Maladaptive. [[Dude, Not Funny|It's significantly less funny.]]

* There's even a [[The Beatles|Beatles]] mpreg fic in which Paul gets pregnant.

 

== Fanfiction based on [[Video Games]] ==

* The [[Kingdom Hearts]] fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2991810/1/Repercussions_Of_Femininity 'Repercussions of Femininity'] has one of these once it hits Atlantica. It's literally [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Mr Seahorse]].

* Used to be [[Fanon|a fairly common speculation]] about draenei among the [[WoW]] fanbase (due, for what it's worth, both to their [[Bizarre Alien Biology|extra-Azerothian origin]] and to [[Bizarre Sexual Dimorphism|the males of the race]] being [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl|so much bigger than the females]]). While this is now pretty much [[Jossed]] by [[The Reveal|Garona's canonical origin]], the more-or-less tame—and evocatively titled—fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5774839/1/Hippocampi Hippocampi]'' is nonetheless worth a chuckle.

** There are also other [http://shadowshinobi.insanejournal.com/tag/robot+mpreg Megaman fanfics] that involves Robot Masters getting pregnant for unknown reasons. These fanfics were made by Shadowshinobi.

 

== Fanfiction based on [[Web Comics]] ==

* Even ''[[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff (Webcomic)|Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff]]'' is [http://hannz0rz.deviantart.com/art/COKMICK-258324496 not immune]. Definitely [[Played for Laughs]] and [[Fan Disservice]].

 

== Fanfiction based on [[Web Original]] ==

 

== Fanfiction based on [[Western Animation]] ==

*** Well, the Transformers thing is kinda understandable, since the robot characters (obviously) don't really ''have'' genders. As to how a robot would actually ''get'' pregnant in the first place...

**** Pregnant nothing, they explicitly reproduce by [[MacGuffin]] in that season, and one of 'em needs [[Brain Bleach]] after being told where human babies come from.

* ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4018157/1/In_Short_Supply This]'' ''[[Invader Zim]]'' fanfic shows an interesting take on this trope.

 

 

== Film ==

** [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19941123/REVIEWS/411230303/1023 Some even consider it his best performance].

* ''Rabbit Test'', a 1978 film directed by Joan Rivers and starring Billy Crystal.

* The 1940 [[Gender Bender]] comedy ''Turnabout'' ends with a husband and wife seemingly returning back to normal after spending most of the film in each other's bodies...until the ancient Indian idol that made the initial switch confesses that he's screwed up and informs the husband that he's now pregnant.

* It happens, in an extreme [[Body Horror]] way, to a few of the brainwashed townspeople in ''[[Slither]]''. It almost happens to the main character but he escapes it due to a technicality.

* An [[Anne McCaffrey]] short story in which an alien prostitute impregnates half the male population of a small town. The title, ''[[A Horse From A Different Sea]]'', references the seahorse analogy.

* An exceptionally icky example is present in [[Iain M Banks|Iain M. Banks']] ''[[The Culture/Excession|Excession]]'', where {{spoiler|a [[Gender Bender]] husband and wife store sperm while both male and then fertilize themselves with each other's sperm when female to both give birth at the same time}}. While this is an accepted practice in the far future society portrayed, {{spoiler|the wife goes [[Ax Crazy]] with a knife and kills the fetus (also nearly killing her husband) when the (now female) husband has an affair with a woman while pregnant, the husband then separates from the wife while the wife goes nuts and stabilizes her pregnancy to remain pregnant for the rest of her life}}. This sequence of events so disturbs [[Deus Est Machina|the AI of the colony ship]] they lived on at the time (which had watched millions of people live and die on it over its career) that it resolves to fix their broken psyches as a personal preoccupation. The story ends “happily ever after” with {{spoiler|the couple reconciled before once again going their own ways, the wife giving birth and then being allowed to raise the child she'd gestated for the last 20 years, and the husband gone off to join a species of [[Straw Feminist|Straw Men]].}}

** Of course, the [[Take a Third Option|proper response]] to this [[False Dichotomy|idiocy]] is to transplant the parasitical young to a cow or something, execute the parents for attempted murder, and call it a day. A classic display of [[The War On Straw]].

*** "Execute the parents for ''attempted'' murder"? Without torturing them first?

* In ''[[The Stress of Her Regard]]'', {{spoiler|silicon-based vampiric lifeforms from Earth's primordial past are roused from torpor when one of them, resembling a small statue, is implanted in the body of a living man. To send them back into hibernation, the obstetrician protagonist must perform a forced Caesarian section to extract the statue (which has ''grown'' since the first surgery!).}}

* Mentioned offhandedly in [[Charles Stross]]'s ''[[Iron Sunrise]]''.

* In ''[[The Whims Of Creation]]'', by Simon Hawke, the baby incubators on a generation starship are believed to have been compromised by a rogue computer program. Several characters speculate that any existing fetuses may have to be gestated the old-fashioned way for the first time in centuries. When a female character takes exception, her husband reminds her that technology has advanced far enough to allow ''him'' to do all the hard work. {{spoiler|Although the incubator issue is resolved, the book ends with him giving birth to their daughter.}}

* In the [[William Schoell]] sci-fi/horror novel ''Dragon'', several workers helping to uncover an ancient temple become sick and are taken to the local hospital. After doing exams, the stunned doctor declares that somehow, they're pregnant. {{spoiler|It turns out this is one stage of the temple's secretly super-advanced defense system. The men are "pregnant" with hideous monstrosities which, like in ''Alien'', burst out of them and proceed to kill everyone in the hospital.}}

* In the ''[[Prince Roger]]'' series, the "women" of Marduk are by the strictest definition ''male''. The "men" of the species have an organ which resembles human male genitalia, but it's actually an ovipositor. When a Mardukan man ovulates, he implants the ova into a woman, who fertilizes the egg and carries it to term.

* Stanley Pottinger's "[[The Fourth Procedure]]" features a VERY pro-life [[Straw Character|Strawman Politician]] being impregnated (very much against his will) by a VERY pro-choice surgeon.

 

 

== Live-Action TV ==

** Seeing as how the parents were the same person with a different gender, is this a case of Lister being a [[Truly Single Parent]]?

*** Considering [[My Own Grampa|what ELSE]] Lister's got going on, [[Truly Single Parent]]'s being the tip of the iceberg.

** While Tenctonese females incubate the pod until it is time for transfer, the males experience the majority of the pregnancy, including massive hormone changes, mood swings, sensitive nipples, nursing the pod, carrying the extra weight, and (lest we forget the reeeeally fun part) the actual act of giving birth. Ouch.

* Similarly seahorse-like, in ''[[Babylon 5]]'', all Narn males have a pouch like that of an opossum or other marsupial, in which newborn babies are placed until they are old enough to go out into the world. Although this biological tidbit never factors into the plot of the series, G'Kar has been known to reference his own body part in [[Unusual Euphemism|unusual euphemisms]] and refers to some naïve Narns as pouchlings.

** There's even a shout out to ''Alien'' in it.

{{quote| '''Merton:''' So, how do you think the baby will make its way into the world, my anatomy being a little different from the average child-bearer.<br />

'''Alien:''' Uh-huh.<br />

'''Merton:''' [[Oh Crap|*gulp*]] }}

** Harkness' home era is the 51st century. The first episode he appeared in showed a nanotechnology that repaired all physical injuries almost instantly and another one that changed humans into monsters and back. Having a male gestate with that level of technology should be trivial.

** T'Pol later notes that Trip is the first Earthling male to get pregnant. He wasn't very happy.

*** Considering how Earth governments probably banned all research into human augmentation and assisted reproduction in the post-Khan era, that's probably justified, despite ''Enterprise''-era medical advances.

*** It was {{spoiler|[[All Just a Dream]]}}. [[Fridge Brilliance|Did it have to make sense?]]

* In an extremely short-lived [[NBC]] comedy from 1979 called ''Turnabout'', Sharon Gless and John Schuck are a married couple whose bodies are switched (à la ''Freaky Friday''). In one episode, the husband, who is in the wife's body, thinks the body is pregnant. She/he isn't, but John Schuck gets to deliver some of the worst dialog in TV history when he rambles on about how she (remember, he's the wife) can't wait to feel their child growing inside him.

* In ''[[Mork and Mindy]]'', Mork gets pregnant and lays an egg bigger than he is, due to [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]. It eventually hatches to reveal Mearth, played by [[Merlin Sickness|56-year old Jonathan Winters]].

* The Pregnant Man was one of the recurring characters on the Australian sketch comedy programme ''[[Australia Youre Standing In It]]''.

* In the ''[[Round the Twist]]'' episode "The Big Burp", Pete becomes pregnant by holding hands with a dryad after peeing on her tree. He then proceeds to experience an [[Express Delivery]].

* One episode of ''[[My Hero (TV)]]'' revolved around extraterrestrial George Sunday carrying an alien baby, and [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity ensued]] when Dr. Piers Crispin saw the ultrasounds and thought it was Janet's father. (Just to make it a little crackier, the baby is revealed to be a ''gorilla''. Yes.)

** Subverted in another episode, where he decided to give "sympathetic pregnancy" a go by inflating his stomach. Janet was pleased at first, but quickly got sick of it. "I've heard of sympathetic pregnancy, but not with stretch marks."

{{quote| '''Jefferson''': My ovaries hurt!<br />

'''Peggy''': Wow, he is really good! }}

* Subverted in ''[[The Young Ones]]'' – Vyvyan’s pregnancy turns out to be {{spoiler|the '''BIGGEST CASE''' of trapped wind on record.}}

* [[Dans Une Galaxie Pres De Chez Vous]] had an episode where Brad became pregnant with an alien. After it was born, he became very over protective of his offspring, but it all ended with a [[Crowning Moment of Sadness]] when {{spoiler|the alien baby vanished from existence at the end of its life, making Brad teary eyed of his lost "child".}}

* Continuing after an episode of when Carmen runs away, one scene of [[The George Lopez Show|George Lopez]] shows Carmen (his daughter) returning home, but with a twist -- [[Teen Pregnancy|she is pregnant!]] After this, George then realizes not only his daughter is pregnant, but also is [[Surprise Pregnancy|his wife]] and [[But I Can't Be Pregnant|his mother]]. Then, his son Max walks into the room with [[Mister Seahorse|a large belly]] as well. After asking his father, "[[Groin Attack|Where is this going to come out?]]", George abruptly wakes up and responds aloud, "[[Screaming Birth|If you are lucky, your bellybutton!]]" I suppose it was [[All Just a Dream]] induced from all the stress of worrying to where Carmen ran away.

* Rembrandt Brown from [[Sliders]] suffered this when the team went into a world where the males get pregnant.

** Actually, it was a world where a global epidemic made women unable to carry to full term so men were fitted with vaguely marsupial artificial wombs to insure the child is fully developed.

* Jake from [[The Troop]] gets bitten by a Snark and impregnated. Afterwards, he has to raise the baby snark briefly, making him miss out on the b-plot and providing a thinly veiled Aesop on the issues of teen pregnancy.

{{quote| When I got home that night<br />

My ovaries did swell<br />

** Later on, Queen Maeve exploits this weakness when she goes after the Brown Bull of Cooley, leaving the hero Cuchulain to fight her armies singlehandedley.

* In Inuit religion, the first two humans were Aakulujjuusi and Uumarnituq, and were both males. [[Situational Sexuality|Being the only two humans, they got lonely and decided to mate]]. Uumarnituq got pregnant, but obviously, he couldn't give birth. So a spell was put on to give him a vagina, and he became the first female.

* The Sumerian water god Enki once somehow impregnated ''himself''.

 

== Newspaper Comics ==

* In ''[[Safe Havens]]'', {{spoiler|[[Our Mermaids Are Different|mermen]] get pregnant}}.

 

 

* [[Parodied Trope|Jokingly]] referenced in [[Left 4 Dead 2]], where [[Cloudcuckoolander|Ellis]] comments on his personal hero, Jimmy Gibbs Jr:

{{quote| ''"If the laws of nature allowed it, I would bear that man's children!"''}}

 

 

* In ''[[Narbonic]]'', the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]] [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic/series.php?view=archive&chapter=15096&mpe=1&step=1 strip] shows that it is Dave who carried Gamma to term, rather than Helen (they are [[Mad Scientist|mad scientists]], after all). This had been [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic/series.php?view=archive&chapter=10272 suggested] earlier.

* In ''[[Sailor Sun]]'', Honey is Bay's [[Kid From the Future|time-traveling future daughter]]. This dismays the [[Gender Bender|gender-bending]] Bay to no end, since it implies that she never goes back to being Brad.

** This is explained as the one of the many safeties built into the device (its magitech), a partially transformed being is incapable of pregnancy, a pregnant person cannot be transformed, a gender switched individual who becomes pregnant is permanently changed to a woman, and food is handled in such a manner that shrinking/enlargement is harmless (even if you enlarge, eat food, then shrink due to the effect wearing out rather than a second hit).

* The aforementioned [[Exalted|Luna]] appears [http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0191.html here] in ''[[Keychain of Creation]]'', although he appears to be in an adult male form.

Charles: Yes, that's right... I'm a gay person. }}

* [[Manly Gay|Kronar]], [[Homosexual Reproduction|Son of Man]], from ''[[Oglaf]]'', and his entire tribe of woman-hating barbarians.

 

 

== Web Original ==

* "Babies" by [[Weebl and Bob|Weebl's Stuff]].

* For a long time, [[Gaia Online]] fans thought Gino would be pregnant after his possession by [[Physical God|the Overseer]], especially after the release of the "Overseer's Gift" minicomic. Even after [[Word of God]] said otherwise. Of course, this being [[Butt Monkey|Gino]], [[Weirdness Magnet|it'd hardly have been the weirdest thing to happen to him]].

* It's subverted in an episode of ''[[Ozzy and Drix]]'', where Ozzy initially ''thinks'' he's pregnant (and is oddly happy about it too), but it turns out {{spoiler|the "baby" is actually a parasitic virus that's been injected into him.}}

* In an episode of ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron]]'', best-friend Carl gets impregnated with an alien baby during an interstellar visit. There are a bunch of allusions to the biology of it, but most of the subject is covered by the stereotypical motherly personality Carl begins to develop, even letting some of the girls in his class throw him a baby shower. The "birth" is non-explicit and the newborn simply appears outside of Carl's body. Oh, and this his pregnancy occurred on his ''backside'', not the typical belly region. Make of that what you will.

{{quote| '''Meatwad:''' I've been touched by the power...on my unit. In broad daylight.}}

** Another episode has Bender "pregnant" with home brewed beer. Complete with "birth". "It's an ale! 5 gallons, four ounces!"

** [[The Neidermeyer|Zapp Brannigan]] technically has this happen to him in one of the comics. Captured by a species of alien he was leading a war against, they secretly implant larva in his body and stuff him with food, intending to use him as a kind of combination unwitting suicide bomber and troop transport. Basically, the oblivious Brannigan would be returned to his side when the larvae were near complete development, enabling them to rip their way out of his body and start killing the other high-ranked officials.

* In ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'', Filburt (a turtle) and Dr. Hutchinson (a lion) get married and have... [[Whale Egg|an egg]]. As a result of various events, Filburt has his friend Heifer (a steer) incubate it for him, causing Heifer to become possessive of it and develop maternal tendencies. When the egg hatches, out comes [[Gender Equals Breed|a lion, 2 turtles]]... and [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|a steer]].

** "It's a ''boy''!" "It's a ''girl''!" "...IT'S GOT THREE HEADS!!!"

** Ben later tries to use to bond with an alien criminal who is trying to steal earth's oceans to clone an army of her children. It works fairly well until he lets slip that his offspring took off for deep space as soon as they hatched.

* When all three of the kids in ''[[Home Movies]]'' plump up at the same time, they show a montage of their "fat" movies, one of them is called "The Pregnant Monk meets the Pregnant Buddhist”

* Separate throwaway gags in ''[[Drawn Together]]'' imply that Xandir and Captain Hero are both capable of pregnancy.

* Perhaps not exactly the same thing, but the [[Looney Tunes]] short ''Golden Yeggs'' ends with Daffy Duck laying a golden egg for gangster Rocky. As Daffy himself puts it, "You don't know what you can do 'til you've got a gun against your head!"

* The ''[[Ren and Stimpy|Ren & Stimpy]]'' Adult Party Cartoon'' episode "Stimpy's Pregnant". Although at the end, it's revealed that {{spoiler|he wasn't really pregnant, just constipated.}}

** The same thing happened in an episode of [[Beavis and Butthead]].

* The animated series [[Fish Hooks]] not only plays this trope straight, but plays it literally, as one of the teachers, Mr. Baldwin, is a seahorse, and explicitly pregnant (despite the fact he lives alone and apparently lacks a social life); oddly enough, this is a [[Disney Channel]] show.

* ''[[The Trap Door]]'' has Drut, who's either this or [[Your Tomcat Is Pregnant]] (considering the male pronouns used by the rest of the cast, Drut's gender is unclear).

 

* Sooner than we develop the medical procedures to make male pregnancy safe, we're very likely to develop the [[wikipedia:Artificial uterus|artificial uterus]], though we're still working out the kinks of both environment and transition process.

* Made worse in that with the right hormone treatments, a biological male can actually ''nurse'' a baby. Turns out male nipples aren't totally vestigial after all.
