The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''"That's just what this country needs: a cock in a frock on a rock."''|'''Bernadette'''}}

* [[Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon]]: Bernadette makes one if Adam doesn't stop singing; "I will punch in your face so hard yoyou'll need to stick a toothbrush up your ass to clean your teeth."

* [[Disproportionate Restitution]]: Slightly downplayed with the gang, as Adam shouldn't have tried to trick the mining crew into thinking he was a woman so he could get sex... but their assault and attempted castration of Adam was way too far (especially since it didn't get as far as sex, and Adam was on drugs at that point - not that the mob knew that).

** Taking drugs was a factor in Adam's terrible idea to disguise himself as a woman to have sex with men in Coober Pedy... especially when said men turned out to be violently homophobic.

** FrankBob's wife Cynthia puts on her... floor show, after taking drugs FrankBob had locked away.

* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: {{spoiler|Bernadette's given name is Ralph, though the problem isn't the name itself, but because it is a deadname and Bernadette is transgender.}}

** The leader of a homophobic hate mob in Coober PedyFrank planned to slice offmutilate {{spoiler|Adam's}} penis within aCoober knifePedy. This gets turned back on Adam's attackerFrank in an awesome way when {{spoiler|Bernadette}} knees Adam's attackerhim in the groin.

** Incidentally, calling ''any'' [[Transsexualism|Transsexualtransgender]] person by their birth name is definitely not advisable. Not only ''will'' you piss them off, you may well be putting them in danger. [[The More You Know]].

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Bernadette is quite obviously based on transsexualtransgender former Les Girls performer Carlotta.

* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: The closest thing to an antagonist in the film is the homophobic mining gang, who beat up Adam and try to slice hisharm penis off when he flirts with them while disguised as a woman. Their leader, CraigFrank, even refers to Adam as "faggot" and "cocksucker", along with intending to attack {{spoiler|Bob and Bernadette}} when they intervened.

* [[Double Standard Rape (Male on Male)]]: Played with, where Adam stops his uncle from molesting him by pulling out the drain plug. While the build-up to it isn't played for laughs at all -- it's incredibly disturbing due to the situation, the ''funny'' part is how Adam thwarts his uncle, which results in his uncle's testicles getting stuck in the drain. Cut back to the bus where Adam and Tick are cackling their heads off as TickAdam concludes the story.

* [[Sir Swears A LotSwearsalot|Sir/Lady Swears A Lot]]: Adam and Bernadette can be quiet foul-mouthed at times. CraigFrank, the de-facto leader of the homophobic mining gang, also counts.

* [[Spotting the Thread]]: CraigFrank {{spoiler|realized Adam was actually a crossdressing man instead of a woman}} when they had a toast and he got a good look at {{spoiler|Adam's clearly masculine arm and shoulder}}.

* [[TranssexualTransgender]]: Bernadette.
