Cock Fight/Playing With

Basic Trope: Two guys compete for a girl's affections, sometimes violently.
 * Straight: Marcus and Josh are both interested in Deidre and become antagonistic once both are aware of the other's intentions.
 * Exaggerated:
 * If I Can't Have You
 * Groups of men go at war over Deidre.
 * Justified: Deidre is the only attractive single female of the whole cast.
 * Inverted: Betty and Veronica
 * Subverted:
 * Deidre settles everything by saying that she isn't interested by either of them.
 * Marcus and Josh end up growing attracted to one another and go for the Gay Option.
 * Double Subverted
 * Not like that makes either of them stop...
 * Except that they both eventually realize they were Better As Rivals and go right back to what they originally wanted.
 * Parodied:
 * The Cock Fight becomes literal.
 * The Cock Fight becomes metaphorically literal.
 * Deconstructed: The fight becomes so violent that Marcus eventually kills Josh, who was the one Deidre was pining for and she refuses to be with Marcus as a result.
 * Reconstructed: ...wait, no, Josh was only knocked out, like he'd knocked out Marcus before. Still, the scare makes them agree to not fight as violently anymore, and to keep it to showing off.
 * Zig Zagged: ??
 * Averted: Deidre isn't pined for by anyone.
 * Enforced: "Hey guys, we need to show that this girl's worth more than the others. Let's have the two most desirable dudes in the show fight over her!"
 * Lampshaded: "Oh God... There they go again!"
 * Invoked: ??
 * Defied: "Fighting over a girl? What are we, high school boys?"
 * Discussed: "Marcus and Josh are such idiots fighting over you like that, Deidre. When are you gonna sit them down and talk to them about it?"
 * Conversed: "Hey, look at those guys, fighting over a chick! I wonder who'll win..."
