Line 3: ''Fred turned everything into a sex joke, whether it made sense or not''\|Greeting card.}} [[Double Entendre~~\|Double Entendres~~]]s are a staple of [[Comedy Tropes\|comedy]]. Characters are so used to double meanings and innuendos flying all over the place, in fact, that sometimes they jump the gun and assume ''everything'' someone says is a [[Double Entendre]] (probably because [[Freud Was Right]]). It can take a few moments for them to realize that they don't actually know what other meaning "put some parsley on the chicken" is supposed to have. It just felt like it did. Definitely [[Truth in Television]]. We've all done it or had it done to us at some point .<ref>fnarr fnarr</ref>. Compare [[Imagined Innuendo]], [[Accidental Innuendo]] and [[Is That What They're Calling It Now?]]. Contrast [[Entendre Failure]]. Can be used for [[Double Entendre~~\|Double Entendres~~]]s. ~~----~~ {{noreallife\|we'd be here all day.}} ~~===~~ {{examples\|Now we're going to give you some "Examples": ~~===~~}} == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == Line 15 ⟶ 16: == [[Comic Books]] == * In ''[[X-Factor (comics)\|X-Factor]]'': {{quote\|'''Ruby''': So, did you do him?
