Double Entendre: Difference between revisions

{{trope|wppage=Double entendre}}

 

One of the fundamental types of verbal gag in comedic television, especially the [[Sitcom]].

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]].

 

 

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]].

 

 

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 a Nunnery]].

 

 

Sometimes [[If You Know What I Mean|lampshaded with a wink, a nudge, and/or "if you know what I mean"]]. See also [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]. May lead to someone saying "[[Heh Heh, You Said "X"|Heh heh, you said [x]...]]" or "[[That's What She Said]]".

{{examples}}

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YCZhJwuN-o Take a look]. It's [[Stan Freberg]]-level good.

* A UK energy conservation advert, paraphrased: "When cooking, use only enough water to cover your vegetables. The same applies when having a bath." "Meat and two veg" is a jocular British euphemism for, well, you can guess.

* The Chup-a-Chups lollipop company had "The Joy of Sucking" before they replaced it with "Life Less Serious".

{{quote|Tentacle Grape is the brainchild of Dekker Dreyer and his skilled team of grapists. Each bottle of this delicious carbonated grape drink is crafted with care... and a [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|slight feeling of breathless anticipation. As Tentacle Grape slides smoothly down your throat you'll feel refreshed and full]].

Each 12oz bottle of [[Naughty Tentacles|Tentacle Grape]] comes packed full of flavor in a unique glass collector's bottle.

** Also, a nut company called Nobby's, with the slogan "Nibble Nobby's Nuts!"

*** They also sell jerky, though they unfortunately decided to forgo the opportunity to use the golden marketing line "Nibble Nobby's Meat."

** Prime example of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]:

{{quote|'''Toaster:''' Scott, I want you to do something.

* George Carlin's 1971 album "FM & AM" featured a bit in which double entendres in commercials (cigarette ads, mostly) were exposed. The most glaring is a Tiparillo spot whose tag line "Should a gentleman offer a lady a Tiparillo?" is followed by a train going into a tunnel. (More a metaphor than a visual double entendre.) Carlin: "You don't have to be Fellini to figure that one out." Winston's tagline of the time, "It's not how long you make it, it's how you make it long", is cited as not only the filthiest tagline of all time but also based in truth.

 

** Even worse when you include the explanation about Breast Fire's power in series.

* The English [[Gag Dub]] of ''[[Crayon Shin-chan]]'' loves this trope.

*** Three.

** Also, she always talks about removing her enemies' armor. Especially her partner's, Yajiro's, armor, which, considering their apparent attraction, can be taken two ways.

** This merits some explanation. When Shinji hears what sounds suspiciously like Misato molesting Asuka, he starts to blush. Seconds later, he looks down and notices Pen-Pen who's staring at Shinji's crotch with a "what the hell?!" face. Shinji then quickly submerges to his neck and says "thermal expansion... how embarrassing".

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' has this between Yoko and Kittan in episodes 24 and 25. Namely, Yoko was a teacher until recently and mentions that she's going to give everything for her children. Kittan misunderstands this as Yoko being a mother. And of ''course'', Yoko answering to his incredulous inquiry with a wink and "A good lady always has some secrets!" doesn't help things either. Her comment about gaining experience by shooting blanks (before her teacherhood, she was a sniper) is just the icing on the cake.

** The second issue of ''Guren Gakuenhen'' has Kittan remarking that Simon and Nia seem to be pretty good friends; Nia answers that they "performed a husband-wife gattai so I'm his wife!" [[Hilarity Ensues]] as everyone in earshot takes it literally.

* In one chapter, ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has [[Ojou|Ayaka Yukihiro]] invite [[Adorably Precocious Child|Negi]] [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v07/c061/2.html to her "paradise in the south"]... Makes you wonder it was really unintentional on her part, or if her [[Big Brother Complex|"big sister complex"]] [[Shotacon|has more to it than what meets the eye]].

** ''Negima'' as a whole has a lot of these.

** Later played straight during the Yakitate 25 arc when Azuma and the gang are making a soft bread and their opponent is making a hard bread. Tsukino turns to the manager and says, "Between a hard and soft bread its obvious that hard is better, right?" To which Ken replies, "That's your preferment as a woman..." He is shirtless and she is wearing a bikini at the time to make it more suggestive.

* Momoko from ''Shangri-la'' speaks almost ''entirely'' in double entendres.

** Ichigo to Renji; "TAKE IT OFF!!"

** Referring to his gigai, [[Ho Yay|but when you consider the ''very'' suggestive position they end up in]]... It's too [[anvilicious]]ly [[Fan Service|blatant]] to be accidental.

* In one chapter of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' manga, Yugi is explaining to Jounouchi how to exchange information between their digital pets, so that they can grow stronger. In doing so, he uses the word "gattai", which means both "combination" and "copulation". Jounouchi answers saying that their pets must "kouhai", that means "cross-fertilize" or "mate". Next to them, Honda [[That Came Out Wrong|warns them that people might hear them and misunderstand]].

** The English version translated this as Jounouchi saying "Alright, Yugi! Let's you and I mate [our virtual pets] right away!" and Honda complaining "[[Brain Bleach|I didn't need to hear that...]]"

* At one point in the ''[[Zombie Powder]]'' manga, Gamma's opponent demands that he "pull out his piece". When Gamma draws his sword, he holds it upwards at a forty-five degree angle from his crotch.

* In a rare instance of a dub being noticeably funnier than a direct translation, the English dub of the first episode of ''[[Burn Up|Burn Up Excess]]'' features Maya preparing for a firefight, cooing, "Oh Hideo, you're so hard and long. Just a little while and I'll let you shoot your whole load, I promise." Who's Hideo? ''[[I Call It Vera|Her handgun]]''.

* Episode 3 of ''[[Afro Samurai]]'' shows our protagonist relentlessly pursued by a robot. When it's about to drop dead, it unleashes all its remaining energy in one final laser cannon blast that is barely averted. There a lot of phallic connotation to it, from the shape of the cannon (both before and after it fires) to the sidekick's quip once it's finally down: "I think he blew his load." That last double entendre actually harks back to the historical origins of the term "blowing your load" (the complete and proper firing of guns).

* ''[[Getter Robo]]'': "If there's a hole, it's a man's job to thrust into it!" He's talking about traveling through wormholes, we swear.

* The anime version of ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'' has a scene with dialogue between the main hero and heroine: "Be gentle" and "It's my first time", complete with heavy breathing. In reality they are crash landing on a enemy occupied planet- it's her first time landing a spaceship, and the heavy breathing is due to G-forces.

* In ''[[Macross Frontier]]'', Sheryl once comments that "Implants are common on Galaxy", but she is "all Natural". What she means are brain implants, like built-in cameras etc. However it hears more like... "something else".

 

* Somewhat disturbing example: in ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'' volume 2, when Mina Murray learns that Hyde has taken care of the Invisible Man, he is quick to assure her that "I attended to his ''end''. Rest assured, it was... comfortable." Being a proper Victorian lady, Mina takes comfort in this assurance of a painless death, not twigging for a second that this ''actually'' means that {{spoiler|Hyde brutally sodomized the Invisible Man before beating him to death.}}

* In ''[[The Sandman]]'', a caption describes devil-turned-nightclub-owner Lucifer playing a medley of unreleased (fictional) Cole Porter songs that Porter only performed privately for friends, ending with "She Never Went Down on the Titanic." (Someone really needs to write the lyrics to that.)

{{quote|'''Henchman 1:''' It seems... I don't know... provocative.

'''Henchman 2:''' In almost a... ''gratuitous'' fashion.

'''Kara:''' The equipment room, where they keep all the sporting stuff, why?

'''Linda:''' Oh, I thought you were peeping in at the guy's lock-- Forget it. My '''own''' dirty mind. }}

* In ''[[Batman]]'', this exchange takes place between [[The Stoic|Batman]] and [[Whip It Good|Catwoman]] ([[It Makes Sense in Context|it really does make sense in context]]).

{{quote|'''[[Catwoman (comics)|Catwoman]]:''' Well? Or do I have to purr in your ear?

'''Batman:''' No... but maybe later you could scratch my back.

'''Catwoman:''' What's the matter? No itches in the '''''front'''''? }}

{{quote|'''[[Spider-Man]]:''' Anybody ever point out that you're a purple-headed invader, or has [[Stan Lee]] been laughing to himself for the last forty years?

'''Kang:''' Eh, you know Stan. }}

* From ''[[Birds of Prey]]'' #103: Huntress and Judo Master commenting on Big Barda's choice of weapon.

{{quote|'''Huntress:''' Looks like she pulled out her mega rod.

{{quote|"I swear, if tonight doesn't get more exciting, I'll go to the top of Big Ben and toss myself off."}}

* When Bullseye asks [[Daken]] which side he is on as the [[Dark Avengers]] and Dark X-Men quarrel, [[Depraved Bisexual|Daken]] responds that he always did like playing for both teams.

 

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20090620042831/http://ineffabird.deviantart.com/art/La-petite-mort-102879400 This] piece of fan ''art'' refers to Claudia of ''[[The Vampire Chronicles]]'' as "La Petite Mort", "the little death". This is true both literally, as a vicious killer [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|with the body of a child]], and also, well, [[wikipedia:La petite mort|metaphorically]]. At least, that's what her fans are thinking.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12gtdc9el3s Episode 2]{{broken link}} of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Abridged features this one liner:

{{quote|'''Link:''' Now to ''mount Zelda'' and ''ride through the night''.}}

*** that time, it is ''definitely'' intentional.

{{quote|'''Yugi:''' Leave it to Beaver Warrior!

''(Beaver Warrior gets destroyed)''

'''King Kai:''' ...Call! Three-way call! }}

 

* In ''[[Get Smart (film)|Get Smart]]'', [[Da Chief|TheChief]] mentions that they need to employ a new agent, unknown of KAOS who's acquired a list of all CONTROL agents and is eliminating them.

{{quote|'''Larabee:''' Let me out there, sir, I have no problem exposing myself.

* Groucho Marx: ''[[Animal Crackers]]'' gives him the line "We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed." and has him present Margaret Dumont with a large wooden box. While describing it as "a magnificent chest", he accidentally points at her torso.

** Both lines are topped by when Groucho introduced a musical performance by Chico: "Signor Ravelli's first selection will be "Somewhere My Love Lies Sleeping" with a male chorus.'

** "So, did you and Ginny do it?"

* The female cop in ''[[Hot Fuzz]]'' speaks almost entirely in these, quite intentionally.

** ...then is immediately followed up with the cop who has trouble speaking [[Don't Explain the Joke|revealing what she's talking about]] in one word.

* [[Shrek]]'s line "Do you think maybe he's compensating for something?", upon seeing Lord Faarquad's towering castle, could both be interpreted as Faarquad compensating for [[The Napoleon|his height]] or... [[Compensating for Something|something else]].

* Three words: Bond. [[James Bond (film)|James Bond]].

** Bond should probably have a special page just to list a choice sampling of this trope. Here's a real gem from ''[[You Only Live Twice]]'':

** This movie in fact begins with Bond getting machine-gunned in a girl's bed. The Hong Kong police remark "At least he died ''on the job''...he would've wanted it that way."

* The song "Keep it Gay" from the musical remake of ''[[The Producers]]''. Sung by the flamboyant director Roger De Bris and his equally flamboyant partner, who never ''explicitly'' mention homosexuality in the lyrics.

** 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.

* [[Christopher Walken]] uses his trademarked delivery to create one of these in ''[[Antz]]'': "She's about yay tall, fairly easy... on the eyes", describing the missing princess.

* ''[[Kate and Leopold]]'': the man announcing the Brooklyn bridge; "And in the future I believe men will be judged by the size of their erections!"

* The hook on which all the jokes in the ''[[Carry On]]!'' movies hang.

* Doubling as a [[Parental Bonus]], in ''[[Ratatouille]]'', Linguini talks to Colette about his "Little Chef". While kids see it as Linguini trying to tell her about Remy (who Linguini calls Little Chef), adults can see a different meaning in his words... When Linguini says "I have a small..." Colette ''looks down'' for a split second.

* Completely unintentional: ''[[Star Wars]]''.

'''Lt. Cmdr Dodge:''' All right, look, gentlemen! I know this is an unusual situation. Can't be easy for Lt. Lake here to be thrown into a jungle such as this, and I know it will make things ''hard'' on all of us...

Let me re-phrase that. It's going to make things '''difficult''' on all of us as well. But if we just work together as a team, I'm sure we can ''handle ourselves''... '''Comport''' ourselves as professionals. That is all. }}

{{quote|'''Henry Purcell:'''Yeah, I've been called that a few times. ''(Group Laughs)''}}

* ''[[Hairspray]]'' has a very neat little ''Triple'' Entendre. Corny Collins, amid a mist of hairspray, declares to one of the female dancers, "Looks like you need a stiff one!"

** The film noir parody/homage ''[[Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid]]'' one-ups this somewhat, when Rachel Ward tells Steve Martin, "You know how to dial, don't you? You just put your finger in the hole and make tiny little circles."

*** For all the kids in the audience: this joke references an old device known as a "rotary phone", which became obsolete somewhere in the 1980s. [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle|And now you know.]]

{{quote|'''Cooper:''' How 'bout you, Stark? You want something hot and black inside you?

'''Stark:''' ''(She gives him the finger.)''

* In ''Hard to Kill'', the nurse asks a comatose Steven Segal if he wanted some pussy, then shows him a kitten.

* In ''[[Josie and the Pussycats (film)|Josie and The Pussycats]]'', Melody causes a car crash when she holds up a promotional sign that read "Honk if you love pussycats". The "cats" part was concealed by a bush.

* When Scorpio meets [[Dirty Harry]] for the first time, he comments on how big Harry's gun was.

* In ''[[Double Indemnity]]'', Walter and Phyllis start exchanging these the moment Phyllis appears at the top of the staircase wearing nothing but a towel.

* The Bard uses a [[Hurricane of Euphemisms|string of these]] in ''[[Shakespeare in Love]]'' when describing his writer's block, claiming at one point that that "the proud tower of my genius has collapsed" and that coming up with ideas is like "trying to pick a lock with a wet herring." And yet he's ''surprised'' when his psychiatrist asks if he's been "humbled in the act of love"...

* ''[[Iron Man 2]]'', anyone? (Admittedly, Robert Downey Jr. makes Tony Stark such a masterful [[Deadpan Snarker]] that some are easy to miss.)

'''Tony Stark:''' Yes, roughly. }}

** It gets better.

'''Pepper Potts:''' Right. Well, she did quite a... spread on Tony last year...

{{quote|'''Tony:''' Hammer needs a slot, Christine.}}

* "Who's the black private dick that's a sex machine to all the chicks? [[Shaft]]!"

{{quote|'''Dark Helmet:''' I see your Schwartz is as big as mine! Let's see how you ''handle'' it.}}

** And: '''Colonel Sandurz:''' It's Mega Maid! She's gone from suck to blow!

** It's most likely [[Accidental Innuendo|unintentional]], but really? The main characters' names are ''Woody'' and ''Buzz''? The [[Parallel Porn Titles|Sex Toy Story]] parody writes ''itself''.

** There is also the line by Rex at the end of the first movie about how he would like for Andy to get a herbivore so he could play the "dominant predator".

* ''[[Nuns on the Run]]'' has a few, since the plot is British gangsters forced to hide as nuns.

{{quote|'''Alex:''' I'm so sorry Daddy, that I didn't tell you. I didn't think you'd approve and I didn't wanna disappoint you. I know how you wanted me to be a neurosurgeon. But I've discovered a whole new way to help people... that makes me feel so... alive.

'''Mr. Munday:''' Whatever makes you happy.

'''Alex:''' I am so relieved! It's been killing me, you not knowing all these years. I- Daddy... Natalie, Dylan and I are a team. And we just took on 12 sailors. You can't even imagine the positions we get ourselves into. Daddy, I wish you could watch us work. You'd be so proud. I'm gonna take a shower because I am covered in- Well, you can only imagine what. And then when I get back, I am gonna give you... a full blow-by-blow. }}

{{quote|'''Connie Swail:''' ''(who has just been rescued from becoming a virgin sacrifice)'' How come his is so much bigger than yours?

'''Officer Joe Friday:''' Miss?

* ''[[Dick]]'' has more than one off-color use of Richard Nixon's nickname.

* ''[[Mystery Team]]'' Charlie is completely incapable of understanding them

{{quote|'''Erik:''' We'll show you ours, if you show us yours.}}

* ''[[Blazing Saddles]]''. Early in the movie Bart (played by the African-American actor Cleavon Little) is almost hanged. Later on a friend greets him with the line "They said you was hung!" and Bart says "And they was right!" (i.e. "well hung", well endowed).

* ''[[The Princess and the Frog]]'': Dr. Facilier (also known as the Shadow Man) makes several of these as he proceeds to trick Prince Naveen into becoming a frog. For example, when he tells Naveen he'll have the freedom to hop from place to place, he means he'll be hopping from lilypad to lilypad.

 

* 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:

** 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.

{{quote|'''Nanny Ogg:''' 'S called the Vieux River.

'''Granny Weatherwax:''' Yes?

** Nanny is so fond of these that it's a sign that things are really serious when she ''doesn't'' use them.

** There's also Nanny Ogg's favorite song, "A Wizard's Staff Has a Knob on the End..."

** The Watch bar The Bucket serves the [[Lampshade Hanging|Long Slow Double Entendre]]. The answer to all those drink names...

*** And also the Screaming Orgasm, possibly in a bid to be as blunt as possible, on the basis that it's funnier to just have Single Entendres and get them out of the way. This is apparently a real cocktail that [[Terry Pratchett]] has been offered.

** The witches aren't alone with this. Mustrum Ridcully calls the University organ "Our Mighty Organ". Much to the dismay of the rest of the wizards.

*** It's possible that one's [[Obfuscating Stupidity|purposefully done by Ridcully]].

**** That's because in ''Discworld'' the handy little thing has been named after its inventor as a 'sonky'. One of those [[Inherently Funny Words]].

* ''[[Thursday Next]]'' villains have these in their names (Jack Schitt even gets lampshaded). As does Daphne Farquitt.

* One Robert Rankin novel featured a woman who communicated entirely in Double Entendre, culminating in "that would be the blow job", referring to the job of blowing into a clogged nozzle to clear the blockage.

Harry moved into his usual position...

He came quickly, as if a white flag had come out of his wand. }}

{{quote|"She tasted disgusting, worse than Gurdyroots! Okay, Ron, come here so I can do you."}}

** After {{spoiler|Hermione kisses Ron during the Battle of Hogwarts, ending a big [[Will They or Won't They?]]}}, Harry asks if they "could just--just hold it in" until they {{spoiler|can find the diadem}}. He's talking mostly to {{spoiler|Ron}}.

** The line that launched an epic [[Cargo Ship]]:

{{quote|"Harry could see Draco Malfoy banging his goblet on the table. It was a sickening sight."}}

** 'Something silver white, something enormous, erupted from the tip of his wand.'

*** [http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=194107497693 And another].

{{quote|Ron struggled for a moment before managing to extract his wand from his pocket.

* The ''[[Torchwood]]'' novel ''Undertaker's Gift'', when Jack nearly shoots Ianto.

{{quote|Ianto: Don't shoot. I'll come quietly. Or loudly, whichever you prefer.}}

* ''[[Lemony Snicket the Unauthorized Autobiography|Lemony Snicket: The Unauthorized Autobiography]]'' is filled with the non-sexual version, though no less adult. Mr. Snicket is often described as a "theatrical critic, in all senses of the phrase".

 

* In ''[[Smallville]]'' Lois is explaining to Clark how to wear cufflinks "make sure this part sticks up straight then it slides right in" judging by her face it seems that she only noticed the double entendre after she said it.

* A non-sexual example can be found in the title of the ''[[Twilight Zone]]'' episode "[[To Serve Man]]" (based on a short story by Damon Night). The title can mean either "to perform a service for humanity" or "to serve the meat of a human as food." Given the show, guess which one they're talking about here.

* ''[[iCarly]]'': Despite being a kids show, the writers can be [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|mercilessly subtle]] with such dialogues.

* ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''

** Also when Buffy talks to her mother about Angel's true nature.

{{quote|'''Buffy:''' He was my first. ''(Joyce is shocked)'' My only!}}

** Referenced in "Phases":

{{quote|'''Larry:''' Man! Oz, I would love to get me some of that Buffy and Willow action, if you know what I mean.

** The end of Willow and Tara's song in "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S6/E07 Once More, With Feeling|Once More With Feeling]]" with lyrics like ''I can feel you inside'' and ''Lost in ecstasy, spread beneath my Willow tree''. Joss later admits in the commentary, "OK, this is porn."

{{quote|[[Calling Your Orgasms|"You make me com... plete! You make me com... plete! You make me com... plete!"]]}}

** Buffy brings home chicken legs for the Scoobies.

{{quote|'''Willow''' ''(looking slyly at Tara)'': I'm a breast girl, myself."}}

** Another non-comic version is in "Fool for Love" when Spike is sparring with Buffy outside the Bronze while relating how he killed her predecessors. 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.

** The scene between Willow and Spike in season 4 (just after he's been made unable to hurt people) when he tries to bite her and can't. Just replace every instance of "bite" with...you know...

* ''[[Queer as Folk]]'' to an occasionally ridiculous degree, but the famous 'I'm coming' is never featured.

** 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''!"

{{quote|'''Arkwright:''' You have lovely knees, Nurse Gladys. Of course, my thoughts are above such things.}}

* ''[[Noah's Arc]]'': There are plenty, virtually all of the sexual variety. In fact, this is the main way Noah and Wade communicate their Unresolved Sexual Tension early on.

** The "Professor Mayang Lee" segments are full of it. Let's just say that she is rather large in a certain area and it involves fruit.

* In one ''[[Beakman's World]]'' segment explaining rotational inertia, Beakman breaks out the Beakman Rotational Aerodynamic Thingies. Commence thingy-twirling jokes, and compound that with the fact that the girl wins...

* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'':

*** [[Betty White]] as confectionery rock star Florence Dusty and her Dusty Muffin.

** There's also a sketch about a tour at a winery with Janet Jackson Finding out about Cork Soaking.(The sketch almost falls apart as Janet and the rest of the cast can barely hold it together, as Janet almost Blows the Line (wait I just Made one there.)

** [[Robert De Niro]] [http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2004/m_deniro-p1.php played]{{Dead link}} a CIA spokesman who read lists of suspected terrorists - "most of the calls have come from high school and college students nationwide". They include Hous Bin Pharteen ("a silent, but deadly killer"), I-Zheet M'Drurz ("when he was fleeing the scene of his last attack, he left skidmarks") and Apul Madeek ("who we believe will be targeting adult bookstores sometime in the near future")

* In ''[[The Office]]'' (UK version) Tim and Dawn amuse themselves with a perfectly innocent conversation about armed combat with Gareth.

* [http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/103262/september-24-2007/alpha-dog-of-the-week---honniball This] particular segment on ''[[The Colbert Report]]'', about someone who was caught working in the nude.

* ''[[Bill Nye the Science Guy]]'' had one in an episode about Volcanoes. It showed a family of three sitting at a table, and the dad had made his mashed potatoes into a tall, semi-cone shaped blob. 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:

'''Dad:''' C'mon honey, I wanna hear you say it. ''What'' does this remind you of?

'''Mom:''' Honey! It's embarrassing!

'''Dad:''' ''(stares)''

'''Son:''' ... Dad?... May I please be excused from the table? }}

* ''My Boys'' had one. The protagonist's old friend visits her, bringing her ''[[Sex and the City]]'' look-a-like friends. The one that acts like Samantha speaks in so much innuendo that no one understands her.

'''Dr K:'''... Sorry to disappoint you. }}

* ''[[Will and Grace]]'' is built on double entendre.

{{quote|'''Ziva:''' Tony, I never knew you were afraid of a little pussy... cat.}}

** Another such example was during another of Tony and Ziva's bantering sessions, where Ziva says, "Tony, I've told you, I like to have fun in more...adult ways." It turns out that she's talking about reading, but it's understandable why people might initially interpret it in a very different way.

'''Charlie:''' I like 'em trimmed. What about you, Alan?

'''Alan:''' We're going! Bye Herb. }}

* Done in ''[[Top Gear]]'' in the form of [[Innocent Innuendo]] (after segueing from a discussion about car firms putting their badges on any old merchandise)

{{quote|'''Hammond:''' It does work, this sort of branding. This wizard's sleeve for instance. ''(holds up a literal sleeve from a wizard costume with a Ferrari logo on it)''

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] Dave from ''[[Titus]]'' thinks he hears these often. Or can make the audience make them. Papa Titus frequently makes them as well.

{{quote|'''Titus:''' Dad, you're not in love with her. It's a heart attack rebound thing. It's the angina talking!

* ''[[A Bit of Fry and Laurie]]'' straddles the line between this and [[Refuge in Audacity]] frequently. See attached: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjDmEhbPLY

* There's a rather clever one in the Easter 2010 ''[[Jonathan Creek]]'' special - while talking about carpentry, [[The Vicar]] states "if I have a vice, it's to be screwed on the edge of a bench." before adding "that's got me into trouble on more than one occasion."

** Another Scully example, from ''Fire'':

{{quote|'''Mulder:''' I was merely extending a professional courtesy to her.

* In ''[[Community]]'' episode [[Community/Recap/S1/E12 Comparative Religion|Comparative Religion]] Jeff commends Pierce on not reacting to Shirley commenting on the Dean "shoving his [[Political Correctness Gone Mad|PC-ness]] down my throat." Turns out the only reason was that Pierce didn't get it until Jeff pointed it out.

* A 1974 telecast of ''[[Tattletales]]'' had the following question posited to the wives: "If I want something from my husband, to make sure I get 'yes' for an answer, I always approach him after he's had _______." (Gene Rayburn guest hosted that week as regular host Bert Convy was on the panel with ''his'' wife, so the question was posed a la [[Match Game]].) 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?"

** "Gobble, Gobble, Dick, Dick"

** "Will Work for Dick"

* Pick a segment-title from ''[[The Daily Show]]''. Chances are pretty damn good that it's a Double Entendre.

* In the ''[[That '70s Show]]'' episode "Jackie's Cheese Squeeze", Jackie feels neglected by his boyfriend, Kelso, and ends up kissing her boss at the mall where she works as a cheese maiden. Eric catches them, and later tortures Jackie by making double entendres in Kelso's presence:

[...]

'''Jackie:''' Come on, Michael, let's go!

** From season 6, Jack has realized that Liz has learned to talk business by watching his (Jack's) seminars. He is excited to be able to compete with someone who knows all the same tricks as him...

{{quote|'''Jack:''' It's the ultimate game. Jack Donaghy, playing with himself. It's a Jack-off.}}

* ''[[WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' - Les is going to do something drastic on hearing about a rumor. Jennifer warns him "Now Les, don't go off all half-cocked!" Les replies "I'm a newsman, Jennifer - I'm always ''fully'' cocked!" Jennifer gets a disturbing mental picture.

* ''[[The Two Ronnies]]'' had many of these. Ronnie Barker once said that the thing about a joke with two meanings is that it can only possibly have one meaning.

 

* "Squeeze Box" with [[The Who]]. [[Word of God|Pete Townsend]] says its just a song about a woman playing an accordion, deliberately written to invoke this effect.

* The [[Bowling for Soup]] song "My Wena" is one long innuendo. They even make it obvious in the original version of the video with a woman in a penis costume. In the end, it's revealed that the entire song is about a Dachshund named Wena.

* The [[ACDC]] song "Big Balls" is one unbroken double entendre—as evidenced by the song's name.

** Let's face it: Everything those guys have recorded since their first album has been some flavor of thinly veiled, squick-ily obvious sexual reference,

*** That said, performing most of the song in a hoity-toity accent adds to the fake subtlety, making the song even more hilarious for those who get it.

* Bull Moose Jackson's "Big Ten Inch Record" (famously covered by [[Aerosmith]]) uses verse breaks to create double entendres:

{{quote|''But I really get her going

[[Beat|...]]

* [[Aerosmith]]'s song "Love in an Elevator".

{{quote|''Goooooooing Doooooown!''}}

** Look closely at the name of the album "Night in the Ruts".

* Mike Mareen's "Don't Talk to the Snake". You probably [[Freud Was Right|know what "snake" means]], and the lyrics may be interpreted as a warning against AIDS. This was in 1988, when the epidemic started to go public.

{{quote|''If I could say what I want to say

* The [[Queen]] song "Don't Stop Me Now" is just one big Double Entendre from start to finish.

{{quote|''I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky

** ... [[Mind Screw|Maybe]]...

*** "Maybe"?

''I'm gonna make a supersonic man out of you'' }}

** and more obvious

* Similar to the Dewey Cox example, Bob and Tom have a song that goes "blow me... a kiss as you're leaving".

** Similar to ''this'' example, "The Sharpest Lives" by [[My Chemical Romance]]...

{{quote|''So why don't you blow me...

* Just look at the lyrics to [http://www.sweetslyrics.com/571027.Nick%20Cave%20-%20Today%27s%20Lesson%20.html "Today's Lesson" by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds].

* Rihanna's "Shut Up and Drive."

{{quote|''And you probably already think I am full of

* It might be intentional in the Isley Brother's song "Between the Sheet" besides the "I like the way you receive me" and "I love the way you relieve me" lines which you can only take that one way, several times he says

{{quote|''I'm coming... coming on strong

* Those of us with more esoteric taste in music will know that many, many '20s and '30s blues songs contain double entendres, such as Blind Boy Fuller's "Let Me Squeeze Your Lemon", The Memphis Jug Band's "Memphis Yo Yo Blues", Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Black Snake Moan", and my personal favorite, Bessie Smith's "I Need a Little Sugar In My Bowl".

* [[Jimmy Buffett]] has admitted that he specifically wrote his song "Why Don't We Get Drunk And Screw", which is about, well, getting drunk and screwing, because he was sick and tired of hearing double entendres in other people's songs.

* [[This Is Spinal Tap|Spinal Tap]]'s "Big Bottom".

{{quote|''Big bottom, big bottom

{{quote|''I wanna kiss her but... she won't let me

* "'''F'''oxtrot '''U'''niform '''C'''harlie '''K'''ilo" by the Bloodhound Gang is made up of double entendres, and ends with the line "put the you know what in the you know where". The video for the song is also ripe with [[Visual Innuendo]]. One of the images shown is Bam Margera driving a giant banana-shaped car into a tunnel. Nearly all of their songs contain double entendres, seeing as nearly all of them are about sex. Other prominent examples are "Fire Water Burn" and "Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss Uhn Tiss".

* The song and music video "Gay Bar" by Electric Six is rife with both this and [[Visual Innuendo]].

** Half their songs are either blatantly about sex ("I wanna make it last forever" said twelve times, getting higher and higher, before ending with "Ooh baby"), or more subtle innuendo. ''Broken Machine'' includes the lyrics:

* A certain song by Lords of Acid leaves it entirely up to the listener to decide whether they're singing about a cat or the female anatomy.

* Jason Mraz's "Geek in the Pink" has more than a few, the most prominent being:

{{quote|''I can save you from

** Does it count for a double entendre if the title [[Don't Explain the Joke|explains the joke?]]

* Alice Cooper, among other songs, had ''I'm Your Gun''. Even though you probably know what's coming, a brief example:

{{quote|''You be the target on the bed

* Richard & Linda Thompson's song "Hokey Pokey" is ostensibly about ice cream, but features enough references to 'putting it your mouth' to make its meaning clear.

* [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]] had several: "Please Please Me", "Drive My Car", "Norwegian Wood", "Happiness Is a Warm Gun".

** The original title was "Happiness Is a Warm Gun in Your Hand".

* Poe's "Angry Johnny". Could be about homicide. Could be about something else:

{{quote|''I can do it on water, I can do it on dry land

* The last line of [[Tenacious D]]'s "Wonderboy" goes "There, that crevasse; fill it with your mighty juice." Hmm, wonder what that might be...

* ''[[Knorkator]]s'' "Song of the horse" might be a completely innocent song about the deep friendship between the vocalist and his horse. But since there is no actual reference to a horse in the lyrics, it might also be entirely about sex.

* 1950s song "Laundromat Blues" by 5 Royales:

{{quote|''Throw in all your dirty clothes, all your dirty duds

* [[Lady Gaga]] has several, but probably the most obvious one is ''[[Love Game]]'':

{{quote|''Let's have some fun, this beat is sick

** Long before that song was ever out, April Wine had "If You See Kay"

* "Ego" by Kanye West and Beyonce. Three guesses what his ego is.

{{quote|''I got a big ego, (hahaha)

** Knowing Kanye, he could very well just be talking about his actual ego.

* XTC's "Pink Thing". According to its writer, Andy Partridge, it was written to express his love and pride for his newborn son. But the lyrics could just as easily be interpreted as a man's ode to his penis.

{{quote|''She said there's

* Steven Curtis Chapman's song "Remembering You", written about [[Narnia]] but could also be about Jesus.

** As could Narnia itself, natch.

* [[The Kinks]]' "Lola". Is the title character an unusually mannish woman, or a male transvestite?

{{quote|''Well I'm not the world's most masculine man

* The song "If I Can't Sell It" by Ruth Brown is chock full of them. Ostensibly about a furniture store owner lambasting a cheap customer for refusing to pay the marked price for a chair, the song is full of goodies like this:

{{quote|''How'd you like to find this waiting at home for you every night?

* The funk group Here Come The Mummies have an album entitles 'Single Entendre', referencing their frequently overtly sexual lyrics.

* In a rare, non-sexual version, the cover for [[Rush]]'s ''Moving Pictures'' is a ''triple'' entendre. There are people moving pictures, people finding the pictures moving emotionally, and somebody making a moving picture of the scene.

* Rodney Carrington's song "Fred" features a cowboy, his horse, and his lady love, all named Fred. The chorus is "Fred's a-ridin', Fred's a-ridin' Fred, Fred's ridin' Fred, Fred's ridin' Fred. Fred's ridin' Fred" and admits of any interpretation from the completely innocent to the unspeakably kinky.

* "The Stroke" by Billy Squier - thought to be about [[A Date with Rosie Palms|masturbation]].

** An alternate interpretation suggests it's an indictment of the music industry.

{{quote|"I pulled into a Shell station...they said I'd blown a seal. I said, 'Fix the damn thing and leave my private life out of it, okay, pal?'"}}

* "Nobody Makes A Pass At Me":

** "California Gurls" also has a phallic entendre: "Sun-kissed skin, so hot, we'll melt your popsicle".

* [[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]]!"

** It's not about ''[[Good People Have Good Sex|that]]'', it's about ''[[wikipedia:Sexually transmitted disease|this]]''.

* [[Queen]]'s "I'm In Love With My Car" is either a sex euphemism (this is Queen after all) or it's a [[Car Song]] that even [[Top Gear|Richard 'Oliver!' Hammond]] would find a bit worrying: 'Such a clean machine, With the pistons a pumpin' And the hub caps all gleam'.

* The [[Bryan Adams]] song "Summer of 69" is ''not'' about the year 1969.

* One of the infamous deal-breakers that caused [[Heart]] to leave their first label, Mushroom Records, was an [[No Such Thing as Bad Publicity|deliberately controversial ad]] for ''Dreamboat Annie'' they published without consulting the Wilson sisters, with double entendres insinuating they were [[Incest Subtext|lesbian sister lovers]]. The headline read "It Was Our First Time". This embarrassment, and the heckling they endured not long after by chauvinistic male executives at a label showcase, were the inspiration being one of their toughest rockers, "Barracuda" (referring to the "barracuda" tour jackets the hecklers wore).

* "[http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/craig_campbell/fish.html Fish]" by Craig Campbell has a bunch, including "I had everything we needed in the bed of my truck / Turns out my baby loves to... / [[Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion|Fish, she wants to do it all the time]]", "And I love how she looks with that rod in her hand", "With her hooks and her sinkers and her pretty pink bobbers", etc.

* [[Warrant]]'s "[[Intercourse with You|Cherry Pie]]" has several of these:

 

== News ==

 

 

* Scoring girl Samantha from BBC Radio 4 show ''[[I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue]]'' owns this Trope, having had it for almost 40 years...

** ''[[I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue|In Search of Mornington Crescent]]'' features a spoof cricket commentry in which [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]] versions of Johnston and Blofeld discuss a cricketer called Geoffrey Hiscock, including such lines as "It was a bold decision for Gardner to open the batting with Hiscock" and "Hiscock is out! And the umpire is pointing Hiscock towards the pavillion." And so on...

{{quote|'''Hamish:''' Are you up for it?

'''Dougal:''' Not the night before a Macathalon.

* A staple of ''[[Round the Horne]]''. At one point, Horne and Williams break character so that Horne can express his concern that the audience may be seeing a second meaning in what they say; Williams replies "Second meaning? Them? They don't even see the ''first'' meaning -- they just laugh at anything that might be dirty."

* A staple of all BBC Radio comedy, ever. On programme featured a spoof letter from someone objecting to the amount of double entendre on the airwaves, saying "I don't wish sex to be forced down my throat. It leaves a nasty taste in my mouth, and I'm not swallowing it."

{{quote|'''Jenny:''' But that's horrifying!

'''Barry Cryer:''' It is horrifying, isn't it? I'll put it away. There, you see what I mean? A lewd ambiguity for every occasion.

'''Tim:''' Look at those tits! ...Oh, one of them's flown away. }}

 

 

* Naturally, [[William Shakespeare]]'s career was built on this. And iambic pentameter. Sadly this is often obscured by the associations people make between Shakespeare, snooty English professors, and snooty Victorian aristocracy, as well as shifts in word meaning.

** In ''[[Othello]]'', it is noted that Othello and Desdemona "are making the beast with two backs." Next time someone uses that euphemism or some variant, you can tell them it's [[Older Than Television|over four hundred years old]].

* In ''Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad'', Rosalie admits with a smirk that she indeed lets men do anything they like to her:

{{quote|"Behind the bushes and it's done. One-two-three and it's done. Here's the money. Thanks. Come again. Hah-hah! Come again!"}}

* The lyrics in ''[[Spring Awakening]]'' are full of them. There are a few notable examples in dialogue, too, such as:

{{quote|'''Hanschen:''' I'll walk with you, Ernst.

* The famous "china" scene from the [[Restoration Comedy]] ''The Country Wife''. The ''title'' ''The Country Wife'' is a triple entendre.

* "The Tennis Song" in ''[[City of Angels (musical)|City of Angels]]''.

 

** One of the loading screen tips: "Reload often. No one likes getting down to business half-cocked."

** 80-90% of the skillshot names. Including "Boned" for reducing a mook to a skeleton with a PMC charged shot to the groin, making that one a triple entendre.

** The undisputed king of Double Entendres for ''Bulletstorm'' is the [[This Is a Drill|Penetrator]], the most Freudian gun you will ever use. [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110224211754/bulletstorm/images/a/a8/Driller.jpg It fires rocket propelled drills.]

* ''[[Devil May Cry|Devil May Cry 4]]'': [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pWvKx1x1pk "First, I whip it out!..."]

*** ''Devil May Cry 3'' also has what could be seen as a visual double entendre: in the cutscene before the Nevan battle, there's a part where Dante grabs the hem of his pants (which apparently confused people who'd played ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'') and then whips out Rebellion. Rebellion is a ''sword''. [[Freud Was Right|Hmm...]]

* The ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' games feature their share of [[Double Entendres]]. In case 3 of ''Justice for All'', a heavy bust of defendant Maximillion Galactica is used as a piece of evidence, which leads to Phoenix using the phrase ''"Max Galactica's ample bust"'' in the courtroom.

** This conversation between Phoenix and Maya in one case. They're talking about his Attorney's badge.

{{quote|'''Maya:''' You really love to show that thing off, don't you? Who knows how many times you've shown it to me?

'''Phoenix:''' She's right. I whip it out at the drop of a hat. }}

{{quote|'''April May:''' I like a man with a big... vocabulary.

'''Phoenix Wright:''' I'll get to [[Freudian Slip|this woman's bottom!]] Er, you know what I mean... }}

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoODv8LVib8 This scene] from ''Ar Tonelico''.

** ''EVERYTHING'' dealing with a Reyvateil is a double entendre.

** If that's not enough, there's a ''very intentional'' Double Entendre possible in the scene which culminates the [[Romance Sidequest]]:

{{quote|'''Kaidan:''' If things don't go well, I want you to know - [[It Has Been an Honor|I've enjoyed serving under you]].

'''[[Player Character|Shepard]]:''' Kaidan, I don't think I've had the pleasure of you serving under me yet. }}

{{quote|'''Gianna Parasini:''' I love nailing asari. They act so ageless and superior, but when you finally catch them, they squeal like schoolgirls.}}

{{quote|Not necessarily, since Asari are an entirely different species, so it's feasible that a person could be attracted to gender A of species A, but not gender B. (Though Asari only have one gender) The flirtatious dialogue she has with Male Shep. makes her out to be the sort of person who might make a suggestive comment like this as well, though it's such a minor event compared to the scope of the series that it doesn't really matter.}}

{{quote|"You know me, I like to savor the last shot before popping the heat sink. [[Lampshade Hanging|...Wait, that metaphor just went somewhere horrible."]]}}

{{quote|"If it's too quiet for you to sleep, I can find you someplace louder..."}}

* In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', tattle a Hammer/Boomerang/Fire Bro and then try to explain that the localization team wasn't thinking something dirty.

* Joshua's intentional "You watch my behind, and I'll watch yours" line in ''[[The World Ends With You]]''.

{{quote|'''[[Jerkass|Joshua]]:''' Step one is gathering info, starting with the client. Honestly, Neku. This is basic stuff.

'''[[Ho Yay|Neku]]:''' ([[Only Known by Their Nickname|Yoshiya Kiryu]], private dick extraordinaire.) }}

* When ''[[Super Robot Wars]] OG Saga: [[Endless Frontier]]'' was announced to have a US release, [[Atlus]]' promotional messages were FILLED with innuendos. The message goes like this:

{{quote|SUPER ROBOT TAISEN® OG SAGA: ENDLESS FRONTIER? '''SPILLS''' OUT ONTO NINTENDO DS? We like keeping you '''abreast''' of new developments in the world of Atlus, Faithful. 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.}}

* ''[[Destroy All Humans!]] Big Willy Unleashed'' is one big double entendre. The plot involves Pox founding a hot dog stand named "Big Willy's", a parody of the real-life "Bob's Big Boy" franchise. Kolonel Kluckin, owner/proprietor of Kluckin's Kitchen, is trying to run Pox out of business, and hires a kidnapped and supposedly brainwashed rich heiress named "Patty Wurst". She attacks Pox's restaurant, to which Pox exclaims "She's hammering my Big Willy!" It goes on like this.

* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' has plenty of them; for instance Ocelot's "I love to reload during a battle. ''There's nothing like slamming a long silver bullet into a well-greased chamber''." from the first ''Metal Gear Solid'' is a rather obvious one.

* Double Entendres practically exploded in the video game fandom once Nintendo's new console was named "[[Wii]]". Most of the jokes have stopped.

** But now they are back in full force once Nintendo started to make Wiis and the controllers in [[Where Da White Women At?|the color black]].

{{quote|"While you were hiding behind the barricades in Leningrad, the enemy was '''thrusting deep''' into the motherland's '''tender nether regions'''!"}}

{{quote|"We will '''pound''' your little island, until you weep for mercy."}}

* ''[[Grand Theft Auto]]''. Rockstar North is a master inserting double entendres into any fictional item under the sun, from [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx2Ng1DoQZI cars], to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKDsDhKeM90 chocolate bars], to names such as the "[http://www.grandtheftwiki.com/World%27s_Largest_Cock The Big Pecker]", Juank Air, Burger Shot or [http://gta-real.com/internet/ilovetoblow.jpg ilovetoblow.org], to an advertising in ''[[Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories]]'' promoting croquet. To list all of them would require a page of its own.

** "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0EGozm1TsA Kids, come and play. I got puppies to show you.]"

{{quote|'''Kokonoe''': I've been thinking of putting [[Rocket Punch|it]] on your chest... or your '''[[Calling Your Attacks|GIGANTIC]] [[This Trope Is Bleep|TAGER!!!!]]'''

'''Tager''': Uh, no thanks, Kokonoe. I don't think I need that kind of... um... [[Freud Was Right|"enhancment"]]. }}

{{quote|'''Noel''': Miss Kokonoe, what were you planning to do to Mr. Ragna the Bloodedge after you [[Instant Sedation|put him to sleep]]?

'''Kokonoe''': Ah, yes. Well, no reason not to tell you. First, I intended to take his '''INFERNO DIVIDER''' and put it in a '''CARNAGE SCISSORS''' with maybe a little '''GAUNTLET HADES''' too? Huh, my goodness, I can only imagine what his '''HELL'S FANG''' will '''DEAD SPIKE'''.

* The title of every single ''[[Ratchet & Clank|Ratchet and Clank]]'' game after [[Ratchet & Clank (video game)|the first]]. "[[Ratchet and Clank Going Commando|Going Commando]]" referring to both nudity and actually being a commando, "[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal|Up Your]] ''[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal|Arse]]''[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal|nal]]" referring to it having more weapons, and to top it off, the [[Ratchet and Clank Future A Crack In Time|latest game]]'s name was almost "Clock Blockers."

** Actually, only about half the Ratchet & Clank titles have done this- Going Commando, Up Your Arsenal, Size Matters, and Quest for Booty.

{{quote|'''Ruby:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|The store is named after my clothing racks, smartass]].}}

{{quote|'''Cindy Donovinh:''' It's... huge! I can't believe the size of it, towering into the stratosphere like that... It's like nothing I've ever seen!

'''Jill:''' Well, he was talking about the world's most powerful biological weapon... called "[[I Call Him Mr. Happy|TYRANT]]" or something.

'''Barry:''' [[Ho Yay|Do you think we could see... TYRANT... now]]? }}

* ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'' is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozAjuxRKo1k filled to the brim with these], though some cross over to being text instead of subtext. A particularly obvious example is [[Final Fantasy VI|Kefka]]'s EX-burst monologue:

{{quote|"Watch this! It's filling me up! That was... ''titillating''!"}}

* [[Duke Nukem]]'s Balls of Steel quote. He says it in front of a pinball machine but it's clear he also means he has balls of steel.

** Why don't you come down here, Falco?

** Jeez Leweez, what is ''that?!''

"You aren't wearing pants... so what split?"

"Um... gotta go!" }}

* ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'' has a [[Dating Sim]]-esque sequence: After defeating your date in a Pokémon battle, you go with said date on a ferris wheel. Your date's dialogue is positively laced with double entendres, especially from one of Hilbert's dates, a burly [[Gay Option|Hiker]].

* The tutorial quest of ''[[Dungeons and Dragons Online]]'' has the rogue catch up to your party and say to your female cleric leader, "Don't worry, Cellimas, I'm here to watch your behind now!"

* Shameless [[Otaku]] Daru from ''[[Steins;Gate]]'' has a talent for instantly noticing whenever something a female character says can be misconstrued out of context and asking them to repeat it for him. Prime examples include "Put the banana in", and "Maybe that hole is too tight!"

* In ''[[Red Dead Redemption]]'', practically everything the prostitutes say is Double Entendre. See [http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/Prostitute#Quotes here].

* In ''[[StarCraft II]]'', the SCV pilot sometimes exclaims, "In the rear, with the gear!"

** Although in the military, that expression is routinely used to denote non-combat personnel who are removed from the front lines. Given the propensity of vulgar expressions and double entendres in the military lexicon, this example is usually played straight by comparison.

** In ''[[Morrowind]]'' , You meet the author of The Lusty Argonian Maid, Crassius Curio. Unsuprisingly, His unique dialogues contain quite a few sexual entendres.

 

* ''[[The Optimist]]'' tries to swallow a hot load of double entendres [http://the-opt.com/?p=1200 in this strip].

** The discussion thread dedicated to that strip took the joke even further. Apparently, a horse isn't dead so long as you can beat it. *whistles innocently*

** Also, [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0102.html Roy has "great cleavage".]

* ''[[Pokémon-X]]'' runs on this trope. It's funny because [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|the source material]] really does provide so much fuel for it...

* [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=131 This one] from ''[[VG Cats]]'' is a beaut.

** And probably VG Cats' crowner, [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=221 this one] composed entirely of dialogue snippets from ''[[Star Fox (series)|Star FOX]] 64''.

{{quote|'''Dora:''' It's ok, it's perfectly normal to have performance anxiety your first time.

'''Marten:''' Yeah, like, the first time I ever played guitar in front of people? IMPOSSIBLE to maintain an erection. }}

* In ''[[Something*Positive]]'' there is this strip, [https://web.archive.org/web/20180702161926/https://somethingpositive.net/sp10302002.shtml], which is actually a nice subversion of the trope (the second- and third-last panels).

* Jane's last line in [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/eddurd/everydayheroes/series.php?view=single&ID=188013 this] ''[[Everyday Heroes]]'' strip.

* ''[[Jet Dream (webcomic)|Jet Dream]]'' is presented in the [[Retraux]] style of a comic book that might theoretically have been approved by the [[Comics Code]] Authority circa 1970, if they could buy the basic [[Gender Bender]] premise. Thus, almost all references to sex are veiled ones.

 

* In ''[[The Gamers Alliance]]'', the amnesiac [[Cloudcuckoolander|Ronove]]'s ramblings are often taken the wrong way. On one occasion he asks if he can taste [[The Ladette|Ax's]] cherry pie. He actually wants to trade pie recipes with her and isn't thinking of anything sexual, but everyone around them misunderstands the conversation. [[Hilarity Ensues]].

* Sarah of ''[[Lonelygirl15]]'' often uses these. An example is her "vote Salinas" routine in "Casting Couch": "Hey, there. I was wondering if you'd be interested in hearing about a man named Edward Salinas. He's the man with the plan and it's a big one. Oh, it surely is! He wants to build a stronger community. The strongest, firmest, ''hardest'' community..."

* The [[Rooster Teeth]] logo is a visual double entendre that you only pick up when your humor is in the gutter. I can't be the only who is reminded of the endearing insult "cockbite" they commonly use in ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'', whenever they show a picture of a rooster and teeth.

* A lot of Alex's lines in ''[[Awkward]]'', although given how deep in the gutter (and Lester's pants) his mind is, it's hard to say how much is intentional.

{{quote|'''Alex:''' You know it's all about finding the right key. The one that fits... just right. The one that you insert deep into the ''back door''...}}

** Also in the Nostalgia Critic's "Nostalgic Commercials", during the "Wet Banana" ad.

* ''Clients From Hell'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20160420082838/http://clientsfromhell.net/post/90551810062/ive-been-fumbling-with-your-zip-for-a-while-now about zip] (addressed to a graphics designer, apparently).

 

* Non-sexual example: when Terra reappears in ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', her first line is "So... which team am I on?" She's referring to volleyball, but {{spoiler|she's the [[Sixth Ranger Traitor]].}}

* ''The [[Ambiguously Gay]] Duo'' from ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' is based on these, from the episode titles (such as "A Hard One to Swallow" and "First Served, First Come") to the dialog to their car. And the plethora of Sight gags in each episode, lampshaded by "...what's everybody looking at?" "''Nothing''!"

{{quote|'''Bloo:''' *Turns to golf channel* Look, that guy's hitting a little white ball into a hole!}}

* ''[[South Park]]'': For a number of episodes, the main characters got a new teacher whose name was Ms. Choksondik (pronounced "Chokes-on-Dick"). Humorously, none of the otherwise dirty-minded main characters seem to have understood the joke, and have made fun of her by calling her things like "Ms. Choksonrocks" or "Ms. Makes-me-sick".

*** What makes this even better is that the original subtitle was "All Hell Breaks Loose", but the "Hell" in that was unacceptable, unlike the final title.

** Also, Chef's songs and his chocolate salty balls.

'''Sam:''' You'd scream, too, if you were stuck in a sleepover with [Paulina].

'''Danny:''' Actually, I kinda doubt that. }}

{{quote|'''Sam:''' ''(dancing with Danny)'' Promise me you'll keep your pants up? ''(Danny's [[Intangible Man|ghost powers]] had unintentionally made them fall down in front of Paulina)''

'''Danny:''' I'll do my best! }}

{{quote|'''Maddie:''' ''(trying to remove the bottom half of a deadly battle suit)'' Vlad, help me get these pants off Jack!

'''Vlad:''' Nope. Sorry. That's all you. }}

{{quote|'''Van Driessen:''' ... There's a wonderful world out there when we find we don't need TV to entertain us.

'''Butt-Head:''' [[Heh Heh, You Said "X"|Huh huh huh. He said "anus"]]. }}

{{quote|'''Butt-Head:''' If I could turn into a bird, I'd turn into a cock.}}

** There's also an episode featuring a talking heart named Ricardio who, when introduced, was giving Princess Lumpy a "special massage meant only for best friends" and assured everyone that it was "completely consensual".

** There are plenty more in the series. There's one case where, when trying to distract Jake, he tells him to play "fifteen minutes in heaven" with his girlfriend, and shoves them in a closet. To top it off, there's an episode where Jake is so attractive he's causing animals to rush to him-including snakes. Finn then says "These snakes are everywhere. There's even one in my underwear!" as he holds up a pair of underpants with a snake in them.

* In the TV cartoon ''[[The Flintstones]]'', Wilma is pregnant, and needs to be taken to the hospital. Her husband Fred's best friend Barney follows along to help Fred get her into the hospital. Barney is, however, too aggressive moving her out of the car, and as a result, spins the revolving door so fast Fred is spun out, and across the street into a hotel. 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."

'''Silverbolt:''' Scout patrol.

'''Rattrap:''' Oh, yeah, scouting the enemy. Find any new positions? }}

* ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'': After Grievous mockingly offers Asajj Ventress some battle droids for the escort, she replies to the cyborg in a hyper-sexy voice:

{{quote|'''Ventress:''' My dear General, there is ''nothing'' you have that I could want.}}

{{quote|'''Slo-Mo:''' I like a man who does it fast.

'''Nanosec:''' And I like a woman who takes it slow. }}

{{quote|'''Liz Allen:''' You can web me up anytime, Petey.}}

{{quote|'''MJ:''' You [two] could go down to Times Square, watch the ball drop. ''(winks)''}}

* One interesting stretch of dialogue in ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' takes place between Ulrich and Odd as they're getting out of the shower (common bathroom at a boarding school, in case you're wondering), with Odd talking about Heidi, the last girl in his class he hasn't dated:

{{quote|'''Odd:''' Hey, speaking of "hot chocolate", I finally got a date with Heidi.

'''Ulrich:''' Eh, you gonna give her your ''croissant''? }}

** Also:

{{quote|'''Brian:''' So, uh, where's your good buddy James Woods?

'''Brian:''' Same problem.

'''Brian & Peter:''' Wooooaahh!! }}

{{quote|'''Stewie:''' ''Farewell, Brian, I'm off to sea. An hour from now, I'll be surrounded by seamen; sperm whales and seamen. Oooh, a swallow.''}}

{{quote|'''Quagmire:''' You know what I'm talking about right? ''(silence)'' Oh!}}

{{quote|'''Peter:''' I am gonna sue that bastard and make him pay out the ass. No ifs, ands or but(t)s. I'm gonna be real anal about this. ........... Sphincter!}}

{{quote|'''Peter:''' Just don't forget our deal, Lois. I sit through this and later tonight I get anal. You hear me? No matter how neat I want the house you have to clean it.}}

{{quote|'''Peter:''' Well, you datin' that guy? It's just a lot to take in.

'''Lois:''' Oh, you tellin' me! }}

{{quote|"Glenn, you should be very proud of your dad. It was an honor to serve with him. Come on Dan, let's get a drink. So glad to see you back in your element, surrounded by seamen."

"Your dad took supplies where no one else would go! I can't tell you how many loads your dad took when I served with him!"

"If there was one man you wanted in your hole, it was your dad!"

"Your dad had the best penis in the military!" }}

{{quote|"Glenn, you're ruining this ball. You know how much I love balls!"}}

* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'':

** "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]].

** ''The Drill'' is about stopping a giant drill from penetrating the wall of Ba Sing Se and releasing soldiers to conquer the city. However, Katara and Toph manage to increase the pressure on the drill from behind, so that some sludge [https://web.archive.org/web/20120620075626/http://piandao.org/screencaps/ep33/ep33-1368.png spews out] prematurely. Then Aang works the front and causes it to [https://web.archive.org/web/20120620075611/http://piandao.org/screencaps/ep33/ep33-1605.png explode].

** Along the same lines, in "Nightmares and Daydreams" Aang has a daydream about finally confessing his love to Katara, and when he snaps out of it she asks what he was dreaming about. He replies with:

{{quote|'''Aang:''' [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Living underwater]]?}}

* There's this show out there called ''[[I Got a Rocket]]!'' in which the protagonist, er, got a rocket for his birthday. [https://web.archive.org/web/20101230182206/http://www.igotarocket.com/ No, seriously]. And it won an Emmy, too. Seriously.

* ''[[Futurama]]'' made this into a brilliant running joke for the episode ''Spanish Fry'', all about Fry's [[Don't Explain the Joke|''lower horn''... which is his penis]].

{{quote|'''Fry:''' ''(after escaping from Lrrr)'' Yes! I never thought I'd escape with my doodle, but I pulled it out!

'''Bender:''' Just like at the movie theater! Wooooo! }}

{{quote|'''Marge:''' You turned Springfield into America's trash hole!

'''Homer:''' Marge, Ix-nay on the asshole-tray." }}

* ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]'' 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.

* ''[[The Legend of Zelda (animation)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' cartoon was remarkably full of [[Parental Bonus]] lines, although few of them were presented as double entendres. However, in the episode "A Hitch In the Works", Ganon offers a gem when he orders the abduction of Zelda. Making it even funnier is the fact that he's ordering his mooks to kidnap her so he can force her to marry him:

'''Henry:''' *stares at her*

'''June:''' I meant ''talking'' to her. }}

** [[Ho Yay|I'd like to top his honor role!]]

** [[Makes Sense in Context|Ow! My wiener!]]

* Larry from ''[[Time Squad]]'' (a.k.a "[[Cartoon Network]]'s 26-episode juggernaut of [[Ho Yay]], [[Freud Was Right]], [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]], and [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] Moments") gives one when a robot grouped with Sheila, Buck's ex-wife, shows off his modern thermal sensor which helps them locate Alfred Nobel. Larry clearly lacks such advanced equipment, which makes him deliver the line:

{{quote|'''Larry:''' It's not the size of the equipment. It's how you ''use'' it!}}

* In ''[[Fillmore!]]'' there's a particularly unsubtle one ([[Getting Crap Past the Radar|that makes one wonder how did it get past the radar]]) in "Cry the Beloved Mascot":

{{quote|'''Larkin:''' ''(to Ingrid)'' Hey, Third! How'd you like that cream pie?}}

{{quote|'''Vanessa:''' Well, Ferb, you sure know how to show a girl a good time.

'''Doofenshmirtz:''' I had to disable it. It was doing weird things to my head, man. }}

{{quote|'''Candace:''' Hmmm... maybe they should call it jump, duck and ''blow''!

'''Jeremy:''' At least you don't have a weenie on your head!

'''Background Singer:''' She's gonna be a big sensation, cuz she's sporting major kinkification!

'''Candace:''' ...and I am NOT using the banana this time! }}

{{quote|'''Doofenshmirtz:''' Thwart me, Perry the Platypus!}}

{{quote|'''Candace:''' Oh, ''yeah'', Jeremy. Nobody makes a corn dog like ''you''.

'''Doofenshmirtz:''' This is really a two-handed job.

* The animated ''[[Beetlejuice (animation)|Beetlejuice]]'': In "Mom's Best Friend", Beetlejuice changes into a dog and can't change back because of a restrictive collar around his neck. Sweet, innocent little Lydia delivers this as she takes out a pair of scissors:

{{quote|'''Lydia:''' I know how we'll fix it...we'll ''cut'' it off! (''Beetlejuice shrieks in panic; Lydia shakes her head long-suffering'')}}

{{quote|"[[Blue Beetle]]'s deeds are really swing, [[A Man Is Not a Virgin|but who will bring him out of his shell?]]"

"[[Flash]]'s rogues finish last... Too bad sometimes [[Speed Sex|he's just too fast!]]"

"[[Aquaman]]'s [[Compensating for Something|always courageous! His little fish, less outrageous...]]"

"[[Plastic Man]] [[Power Perversion Potential|can expand]]... [[The Loins Sleep Tonight|Becomes putty in our hands!]]" }}

* The sausage-stuffing challenge of ''[[Total Drama World Tour]]'' results in one of Noah's most famous lines: "Look. Cody has a tiny sausage."

* In the ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' episode "Revenge of the Mooninites", the Mooninites are watching porn stolen from Carl's secret stash, leading to this exchange:

'''Err:''' I think ''I'' have a [[Raging Stiffie|'straight six']].

'''Ignignokt:''' Ooh, Err, your sexual innuendo is priceless. }}
