Common versions include requests to "give me a hand" being met with disembodied hands and quotes of Marc Antony "lend me your ears"... well, [[Having a Heart|use your imagination]].
[[B-Roll Rebus]] is when news and documentaries do this with [[Stock Footage]]. Compare [[Stealth Pun]], which is sort of like [[Dissimile|a Visual Pun without the visuals]], or [[Literal Metaphor]], which is one more step away from this trope but still related. Supertrope to [[Rules of the Road]] in cases where road signs are literal, not figurative, depictions of what's up ahead.

Line 66:
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* ''[[AMV Hell]] 3'' has a "[[Unreal Tournament|MULTI KILL!]]"... only it's not three players being fragged in quick succession as per ''[[Unreal Tournament]]'' but rather Multi from ''[[To Heart]]'' killing.
* Fan art of the most famous [[Vocaloid]] as [https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/178480 a shrine maiden]. Yes, it's "Hatsune Miko".

Line 116 ⟶ 117:
* In his opening narration for ''[[Love and Death]]'', [[Woody Allen]]'s character mentions the "valuable piece of land" owned by his father. We see an old man pulling out a hunk of sod from inside his coat.
{{quote|"This land is not for sale! Someday, I hope to build on it."}}
* Ricky I is absolutely remorseless in its use of visual puns. Reviewed by the Angry Video Game Nerd [
* In ''[[The Great Dictator]]'', the emblem of [[A Nazi by Any Other Name|Adenoid Hynkel and his followers]] is the Double Cross. [[Hilarious in Hindsight]], given the even more blatant backstab a year later: Barbarossa.
* French film ''Coco'' is entirely made of gags performed by its main actor (a humorist in life), but there's one glaring instance of a visual pun: Coco's teenage son wants to show his firend the house's "porcherie" (pigsty). Viewers start wondering why a jewish man would keep swine in his house, until we see that it was actually a ''porscherie'' (a room chock-full of Porsche cars!)
Line 192 ⟶ 193:
* [[Merv Griffin]] Enterprises (''The Merv Griffin Show'', ''[[Wheel of Fortune]]'', ''[[Jeopardy!]]'') used a [[wikipedia:File:Mge84.JPG|griffin]] in the logo.
* In a chapter of ''[[Castle]]'', Beckett and Castle have to go to a male striptease in order to arrest a suspect of the killing of a male stripper. The show at the moment is of strippers dressed as firemen, and one of them is the suspect. Beckett tells the suspect to "cool off", but he doesn't listen, and all the strippers surround Beckett. Then Castle appears with a fire extinguisher and cools them down enough for her.
* Meta example from
* In ''[[Sherlock]]'', Watson at one point refers to {{spoiler|Mycroft's}} "bloody stupid power complex," immediately followed by a shot of the Battersea Power Station.
* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' made occasional use of this trope. One example was the animated link "One Dozen Communist Revolutions."
Line 310 ⟶ 311:
* The ''[[Know Your Meme]]'' image for [[Creepypasta]].
* [http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/750002-bait-this-is-bait This] reaction image (as a variation of [http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/583040-bait-this-is-bait this]).{{context}}
* A pair of crowbars are mounted on the wall of the bar in which Qrow is getting drunk early in V3 of ''[[RWBY]]''. And the official name of the establishment is eventually revealed to actually ''be'' "The Crow Bar".

Line 458 ⟶ 460:
* [[Running Gag]]
* [[Spoiler|Major Spoiler In This Image!]]

* [[Ship Sinking]]
** '''[[Ship-to-Ship Combat]]'''
