History Main / BallsGag

* Sports commentator Brian Johnston notes this as an occupational hazard in his memoirs, and gives several famous examples, including the one about the cricket commentator who, in the lull before the start of a game, announced that there were some small boys out on the field [[ADateWithRosiePalms playing with their balls]].

* WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} streamer Risu (who is a kemonomimi squirrel) established "Nonstop Nut November" as her response to "No Nut November" (a meme challenging people to not go on ADateWithRosiePalms during November), wherein she posts videos on her Website/YouTube channel about nuts with tons of David Letterman-style double entendres.

* Comes up in the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Quagmire's Dad", where Glenn Quagmire's transgender mother Ida tells her son that she's ruining the ball and remarks "You know how much I love balls."

-->'''James Bond:''' Balls, Q?\\
'''Q:''' ''(unimpressed)'' Bolas, 007!

** ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService''. Even while posing as [[AmbiguouslyGay Sir Hilary Bray]], Bond can't resist making a comment about how he has more byzants (i.e. [[BallsGag gold balls]]) than the average man.

-->'''Bond:''' I brought a book on the subject. There's a picture of my own coat-of-arms...which includes four of them. ({{gasp}} from the ladies)'' If you'd care to see them...

* ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' has this exchange as Bond enters Q's South American lab to find him testing a new weapon:

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': In the Japanese versions, the "Nugget" item (one of several objects in the franchise whose only real purpose is to [[VendorTrash sell for a high price]]) is known as "Kin no Tama", literally "golden ball"--which is Japanese slang for the testicles. The thought of a stranger giving a 10 year old their "golden balls" becomes quite hilarious.

* ''WebVideo/EqualsThree'': Ray William Johnson (as his animated alter-ego Your Favorite Martian) did a song about "My Balls"

* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' had a "Delicious Dish" sketch (a parody of [[BoringBroadcaster stereotypically "dull" public radio shows]]) in which Pete Schweddy (Creator/AlecBaldwin) promoted his bakery's holiday foodstuff, "Schweddy Balls". You can even get them in a "Schweddy Ball Sack". Besides the innuendo, the humor of the sketch came from the fact that the hosts (who speak in a very deadpan monotone at all tomes) did not break character at all.

* In one of the Literature/PhoenixForce novels, the eponymous force is figuring out how to scale a mountain fortress without making noise that will draw the attention of the guards.

* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' has the title character unable to resist adding on the word "balls" whenever the character Benoit's name is mentioned (it's a pun on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Wa_balls ben-wa balls]], to which the name "Benoit" is identically pronounced), much to the latter's annoyance. This is hilarious reversed after Benoit is revealed to be the VillainOfTheWeek and Archer has to chase him down:

* A slang term for a portion of the male anatomy in the groin region.

* The iconic obstacle of the TV show ''Series/{{Wipeout|2008}}'' are the "Big Balls", a series of four, red, inflated balls that contestants must bounce across. Given their prominence, the co-hosts are aware of the potential for ball-related wordplay whenever the Big Balls are brought up, or, well, any other time a round on the show involves balls. Lampshaded when John remarks during a game with dodgeballs, "Oh, you and your [[TropeNamer ball gags]]."

* Multiple examples from ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead''. A particular incidence of note is when the pair hit on the idea of finding and selling golfballs and Butt-Head declares "We need to get more balls", prompting Beavis [[HehHehYouSaidX to laugh]].

* There's a more technical variation in ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' where the Quarian admiral Zaal'Koris Vas Qwib-Qwib (Quarian names are structured like so: [Personal Name] vas [Ship] nar [Birth Ship]) laments his ship's name and comments that he's thought of requesting a transfer to a ship with a more respectable name, like "Defrahnz" or "Iktomy". 'Vas Deferens' is the part of the male anatomy that connects the testicles to the urethra, and a vasectomy is a procedure in which the vas deferens is cut.

* On an episode of 'Series/HaveIGotNewsForYou'', when they'd somehow got onto the subject of DoubleEntendre in {{Panto}}, Maureen Lipman quipped "I do declare, the prince's balls get larger every year!"
