Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Gag Boobs has been renamed to Boob Based Gag. Changing to the proper trope where appropriate and cutting misuse.


* GagBoobs: Nurse Diesel - not their size, but their shape, being extremely triangular and pointy. Likely a stealth ShoutOut to [[BattleaxeNurse Nurse Ratched]], who was described [[Literature/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest in the book]] as having a fairly notable pair.

* NoFourthWall: On multiple occasions, Hitchcock's cinematography is parodied by making the audience very aware of the camera's physical presence in the scene-- twice, where the camera breaks through a building's wall or window rather than zooming in or out through it, and once where it films through the bottom of a glass table while Diesel and Montague cover it with tableware, forcing the camera to keep moving to get a view of them.
