** In the third game, Godot prosecutes a case where someone died from a poisoned cup of coffee. Later it's revealed that [[spoiler:he himself almost died, and was knocked into a coma, by this same method.]] The case is full of parallels, such as the fact the defendant is a young woman [[spoiler:just like Dahlia was]], and Godot's mention of how the defendant is a "classy lady" for using coffee to hide the bitterness of poison. It's also, tragically in a rather ironic way, the case where we first see something that came about due to Godot [[spoiler:being poisoned. Namely, that he he can't see red on a white background.]]

* ''Animation/HappyHeroes'': In season 13 episode 28, after an incident set by the queen of Planet Gray which causes Big M. to lose, the king imposes laws which his residents don't speak about the incident nor the name of the queen... for many years. In the real world, that's how Chinese censorship works.

* Invoked by the ''Podcast/InterstitialActualPlay'' players when discussing how [[spoiler: Roxanne and Ennora]] are separate entities despite their similarities, and agreeing that referring to the latter with the former's name would be equivalent to deadnaming them.

* An extended gag in one of Denis Norden's monologues on ''My Word'' involves him finding an ex-girlfriend "walking the streets". Even after it becomes clear he means she's a traffic warden, the metaphor continues.

Any situation which is made, sometimes for comic effect, sometimes for dramatic effect, to look like another situation -- not in the sense that it is [[NotWhatItLooksLike mistaken for that other situation]] by any of the characters, just in the sense that we the audience see the resemblance. The characters do not. Alternatively, it can refer to an [[CaptainErsatz ersatz]] of something more familiar that the audience would immediately recognize in {{subtext}}, in order to make it look less {{Anvilicious}}, but it doesn't always succeed in fulfilling the latter. The situation doesn't always have to mean anything sexual, however it is the most common use of the {{trope}}.

* Drug-related meanings: ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin, FantasticDrug, DrunkOnMilk, GRatedDrug, {{Uncoffee}}

** A non-sexual example of this trope: The Imperium's citizens are encouraged by the official state religion, the Ministorum, to hate, fear, and persecute psykers, even though the Imperium could not function at all without them[[note]]If you're wondering how they function despite killing a crucial populace, they break the metaphor for an answer: a portion of psykers who would otherwise be executed are given to the Black Ships as part of a federal tithe[[/note]]. We should also mention the entire Imperium, under that same state religion, worships a psyker.

This sort of situation can lead to a MistakenForIndex plot if some other character hears it out of context. If unintentionally done, this is LooksLikeSheIsEnjoyingIt. May result in GettingCrapPastTheRadar if it alludes to something that would normally get censored. Similar to InnocentInnuendo[=/=]VisualInnuendo in that each of these tropes attempts to draw suggestive ideas from the audience; however InnocentInnuendo[=/=]VisualInnuendo attempt to trick the audience into thinking the situation is different from what it really is, whereas this trope is upfront about the situation and merely draws parallels to those suggestive ideas. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused with]] IronicEcho, which can easily use this trope's title as a LampshadeHanging.

** In Volume 4, Sun has never before visited Menagerie so Blake explains the history of the island continent. As a sop to equality, the kingdoms' leaders gave the Faunus an isolated, out-of-the-way continent that is two-thirds desert and therefore only habitable along its coastal regions. This has been used to relocate and confine the Faunus away from other kingdoms, crowding them into limited space and expecting them to disappear from radars of other kingdoms' leaders. Not only is Menagerie an unsubtle reference to the use of Australia as a dumping ground for the undesirables of European and American societies, and the continuing plight of the Aboriginal Australians, but it's even located on the south-eastern portion of Remnant's world map -- exactly where the real Australia is found on standard real life flat maps.

* In ''Theatre/{{Aida|JohnRice}}'', the imprisoned Aida is alone with her captor Radames. He takes off his shirt, saying, "Do you know what's going to happen now?" Several actresses in the role play Aida as being VERY fearful that he's about to force himself on her. He instead orders her to wash his back, something that at the very least is meant to similarly degrade her, at worst, meant to symbolize a rape.
** In the [[Theatre/AidaVerdi operatic source material]], the main antagonist is Ramphis, a [[SinisterMinister fanatical priest with political power]]. Verdi himself may have had anti-clerical views.
* There are parallels drawn in ''Theatre/AngelsInAmerica'' between God's abandonment of Heaven and Louis' abandonment of Prior.
-->'''Belize:''' Abandoned.\\
'''Prior:''' Yes.\\
'''Belize:''' I smell a motif. The man that got away.\\
'''Prior:''' Well it occurred to me.
* ''Theatre/{{Brand}}'' by Creator/HenrikIbsen has a jarring Christmas scene involving a homeless mother and her child knocking at Brand's door, begging for clothes for her frozen child. The scene plays heavily into the legends of St. Martin and other saints, sharing their clothes with a beggar in the snow, who turns out to be Christ. It also plays in on the Christmas gospel, with the mother Mary seeking shelter and giving birth (at Christmas, of course) to UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} himself. To drive the point home, Brand`s own son is dead, and his wife grieves over her dead son. But given the Christmas references, it is impossible ''not'' to share with the paupers. The scene makes an {{anvilicious}} TearJerker, because we know this is breaking Agnes completely.
* ''Theatre/{{Elisabeth}}'': "Die Schatten werden länger" ("The Shadows Grow Longer") is about Death trying to seduce Rudolf into suicide. In many, ''many'' productions, it's played as Death [[HoYay trying to seduce Rudolf]].
* In ''Theatre/FiniansRainbow'', when Finian learns Og the {{leprechaun}} came to America without a passport, he threatens to have him deported. As Og starts to flee, Finian accuses him: "You're a member of a subversive underground group takin' its orders from Dublin!"
* The musical ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', which tells the life of the first US Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton in a style infused by hip-hop and R&B songs, came about when writer-star Lin-Manuel Miranda realised that the story of Hamilton's life was in many ways similar to the classic hip-hop AntiHero narrative. Both are about a young man from an impoverished and socially unrespectable background clawing himself up from the gutter to a position of power in an atmosphere of revolutionary violence, only to make many enemies along the way which eventually leads to his violent downfall.
* In ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'', the song "Hello, Little Girl" is theoretically about the Big Bad Wolf trying to eat Little Red Riding Hood, but it's dripping in sexual innuendo. The later song "I Know Things Now" all but drops the pretense, being straightforwardly about her loss of innocence as a result of the encounter.
* Comedy duo James and Jamesy have a moment if this where one character attempting to click on his headlamp looks... like something, both actors struggle to keep straight faces, near in mind the show is G rated
* In Theatre/TheKingAndI, Tuptim's in-universe adaptation of [[Literature/UncleTomsCabin The Small House of Uncle Thomas]] is a thinly-veiled criticism for her slavery and her separation from her lover. In the middle of the play she goes too far into an AuthorFilibuster and dispenses with all subtleties.
* In ''Theatre/ThePajamaGame'', when Sid is trying to con Gladys out of the key to the account books (which is dangling around her neck), the dialogue makes it sound as if he's asking for the key to her chastity belt ("I'm a desperate man, and I hate to ask a cute kid like you to do me a favor, but...").
* In the musical version of ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' (and TheMovie made from it), the song ''The Music of the Night'' could be seen as an attempted seduction. The lyrics are highly-suggestive euphemisms (The Phantom is singing about his Music and the Dark/Night, but could just as easily be substituted for sex). Christine faints towards the end of the song, so ultimately nothing happens.
* The death scene in Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet is rife with sexual imagery. The bit where Juliet welcomes being penetrated by Romeo's dagger is still pretty clear to modern audiences, but it's only the tip of the iceberg. The cup that Romeo drinks his poison from is supposed to be a symbol of femininity, and furthermore, Shakespeare often used "die" as a euphemism for "orgasm".
* In the ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' musical adaptation, Pinocchio shouts [[AmbiguouslyGay "I'm good, I'm wood, get used to it!"]] during a song titled "Freak Flag" which rallies the {{Fairy Tale}}s creatures against Farquaad. Already sounding more like a song for a gay pride parade than a theme for any RagtagBunchOfMisfits.
* In ''Theatre/TheSpongebobMusical'', Plankton and Karen sound like a couple having relationship troubles (more specifically in the bedroom), with the way Plankton complains "You used to love my evil schemes!" and her reply "Well what can I say? The magic's gone."
* In ''Theatre/ThrillMe'', "Roadster" is honestly about child murder, and not anything sexual. And if you can find a show that can say, "Feel the power of my engine," without making it about sex, you have an ''incredibly'' skilled performer.
* ''Theatre/WesterosAnAmericanMusical'': The play retells ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' with parodies of songs from ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''. The choice of music can sometimes draw a parallel between an event from ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' and a scene from ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'':
** "King Robert Baratheon", which is about how Robert started out a rebellious teen and became King, is set to the tune of "Alexander Hamilton", which tells the story of a poor orphan managing to better his situation into becoming a historical figure.
** "Hand of the King" is set to "Right Hand Man". Both songs happen during a war and involve the protagonist being given an important position they weren't expecting by a father or father figure who's a prominent military leader.
** "Shae No To This" is about Tyrion's SecretRelationship with Shae, and at some point has a minstrel try to extort money from Tyrion to keep his mouth shut about it. Its original, "Say No To This", is about Hamilton having an affair with a married woman and includes her husband asking for money in exchange for his silence.
** "Growing Concerned" focuses on a group of characters conspiring to get another out of their way, much like its original, "Washington on Your Side".
** Both of the songs sung by Daenerys were originally sung by King George III, who is also an antagonist separated from the protagonists by a large body of water, and has nothing to do plot-wise.
* ''{{Theatre/Wicked}}'': "What Is This Feeling?" begins with this lyric: "What is this feeling so sudden and new? I felt the moment I laid eyes on you. My pulse is rushing. My head is reeling. My face is flushing. What is this feeling? Fervid as a flame? Does it have a name? Yes. '''Loathing'''. '''''Unadulterated loathing'''''". Sorry darlings, but that isn't loathing; it's ''[[LesYay lust]]''. Then again, they have been [[WordOfGay confirmed]] to have romantic interest in each other, and Stephen Schwartz (composer) did this intentionally to highlight the irony of using common phrases from love songs in a song about hate instead.

* ''WebVideo/DaisyBrown''. Daisy's relationship with Alan is highly evocative of DomesticAbuse. He physically attacks her under seemingly little provocation, puts her in situations like locking herself in a room and regularly being chased outside, and destroys things beloved by Daisy like her garden and [[spoiler:an innocent animal]] out of apparent spite. Daisy, in turn, tries to defend him even when it's clear Alan is being hurtful. The parallels become even more obvious once [[spoiler:Alan is able to talk, as he uses his newfound ability to verbally insult Daisy over her personal issues]]. Perhaps not coincidentally, [[spoiler:it's implied her father had abusive episodes as well.]]
* A Funny or Die video called [[http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/25cc8b85e1/pantsed-from-june-raphael-derekwaters-and-casey-wilson?_cc=__d___&_ccid=2e5b8c37-fdf4-41ed-a334-d1312f32b2f6 "Pantsed"]] was about a young woman (co-writer June Diane Raphael) who, whenever she began to make out with a partner, would suddenly get pantsed. This is played out as a metaphor for constantly getting into abusive relationships. After her second pantsing in a row, June decides she's finished with men, and we see her in a car with a girl, wearing matching baseball caps and white t-shirts and singing an Music/AniDiFranco song, whereupon the girl asks her if her jeans are button-fly; told they are, the girl says "Good to know" and June looks worriedly out the window. The metaphor is lampshaded by June's friend:
-->'''Casey''': I guess getting pantsed is your destiny.
-->'''June''': [''staring at herself in the mirror''] Yeah, Case, maybe you're right. [''montage of June standing with man without her pants on; sitting on floor, pants-less, tearful; stumbling out of hallway with her pants around her ankles''] Why am I fighting it? I get pantsed. It's who I am.
** Eventually, she meets a nice guy who says he wants to take their relationship to the next level, but he's then horrified when she spontaneously pulls down her own pants.
--->'''Man''': Fuck's wrong with you? [''hastily putting on his shoes''] Jesus Christ, June, I liked you.
--->'''June''': I thought you would like this.
--->'''Man''': Fuckin' skank. [''heads for the door'']
--->'''June''': "Skank", what are you saying? [''shuffles after him, her pants around her ankles''] What did you mean by "next level"?
--->'''Man''': [''leaving''] Jesus Christ, not this! [''slams door'']
--->'''June''': Stop! I'll pull them back up! I'LL PULL THEM BACK UP!
* ''{{WebVideo/Gameboys}}'': As early as Episode 2, when Gavreel calls Cairo while working out. Gavreel's doing pushups. Cairo is just lying in bed counting his reps. If the initial shot composition with Gav's screen on top and Cai's screen at the bottom didn't clue it in...
-->'''Cairo:''' ... Four... Five... [[FreudianSlip Sex]]SIX. Six...
* During the 2020 Presidential Election, gaming-based NewsParody site ''Website/HardDrive'' posted the article [[https://thehardtimes.net/harddrive/gamer-sick-of-two-console-system/ "Gamer Sick of Two-Console System,"]] about a gamer who finds it pointless to [[UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars choose between Sony and Microsoft]] ("At the end of the game, they're both just angry old men who want to kill stuff") but can't go TakeAThirdOption with Nintendo because all the games are made for the main two systems so it's basically "throwing your gaming away." It also features an "independent gamer" who insists upon playing Nintendo and the obscure console Raspberry Pi to make true change in the gaming industry.
** ''Hard Drive'' later published [[https://hard-drive.net/ign-premieres-new-mario-golf-trailer-reminding-readers-it-supports-mario-and-bowser-equally/ an article]] in which gaming website IGN apologizes for posting a ''VideoGame/MarioGolf'' trailer with the like, "Can’t wait to hit the links as Mario next month!" and insists that they also support Bowser. This is a satire of IGN removing an article about Palestine as to not "take sides" in the UsefulNotes/ArabIsraeliConflict.
* In ''WebVideo/LPSPopular'', Brooke, a pale blonde [[CatsAreMean cat]] with blue eyes calls Savannah, a naturally brown dachshund, a wiener dog. Everyone treats this as a horrible slur and Genevieve, one of Savannah’s best friends, only allows herself to say it in a whisper.
* The WebVideo/MinutePhysics video ''The Hairy Ball Theorem'', which is about the topological theorem of that name which states that [[DoubleEntendre you can't comb a ball totally flat if it's covered entirely with hair]]. The narrator then goes on to say things like "don't go wasting your time [[DoubleEntendre playing around with a hairy ball]] to try to prove this wrong". At the end, the narrator says that, since the theorem applies not only to balls but any 3-dimensional objects without any holes, the next time a mathematician gives you trouble, you should ask them if they can [[DoubleEntendre comb a hairy banana]].
* ''WebVideo/{{Petscop}}'': In Evencare, there are signs about bringing pets home. Two of them say "When choosing pets, pick somebody that you like. You don't have to love them right away," and "Don't be discouraged if they run from you! They really want a home. They're afraid. Show them there's nothing to be afraid of." There's a pet who's kept in a cage, and is awarded for staying there. Its description is "Amber is a young ball. She's afraid to leave home. If her home is good, this is not a problem. She is very heavy, and that makes her life a little harder, as well as yours. What's the safest place you can put her in? You should start thinking about that." [[{{Foreshadowing}} In hindsight]], the reactive attachment disorder themes were there from the beginning. [[spoiler:And to bring it home, there are three different versions of Care available as pets.]]
* Titli of ''WebVideo/TitlisBusyKitchen'' has slipped some dirty imagery into a few episodes of the show, usually involving a large carrot and two smaller fruit positioned next to one another.

* In ''WebVideo/JakeAndAmir'', the two title characters' bizarre friendship is often portrayed as a gay relationship. Amir constantly wants to spend time with Jake, becomes jealous when Jake spends time with other people, and, on one occasion, received a marriage certificate (from a drag queen) stating that the two were officially wed. Jake is more aware of the connotations and tries to avoid them, but a few episodes depict him as equally jealous when Amir has a girlfriend; in another arc, he gets temporarily transferred to California, and meets a sexy coworker, only to drive her off by thinking and talking about Amir nonstop. The whole situation is lampshaded in an episode featuring Pat and Sarah: Sarah points out that, to the casual observer, the two seem to be a married gay couple. Of course, this being Website/CollegeHumor, the episode has Jake and Amir by the elevators, fighting in a way that's deliberately designed to look like gay sex.
* In the ''Film/MoulinRouge'' review between Music/{{Brentalfloss}}, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic and WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick, [[WebVideo/BrowsHeldHigh Oancitizen]] interrupts to demand why he wasn't included in the crossover. But from the Nostalgia Duo's squirming, his irritation and Floss's complete confusion, it looks instead like a person catching their partner cheating.
* In one of Balddumborat's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhgYIqQm-IE Q&A videos]] as [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Derpy Hooves/Ditzy Doo]], she is asked whether pegasus ponies wake up with "[[RagingStiffie morning wing]]" (a reference to the [[MemeticMutation "Wingboner" meme]]). The response: "Oh, gosh, yeah, we do sometimes. I mean, try sleeping on your back or side with a pair of wings. They really cramp up in the morning and feel horribly stiff. It takes a while to shake them out. But at least we don't have magic messes in the morning like unicorns!"
* ''Series/{{Noob}}'' :
** At some point, Gaea, female and [[TheScrooge very greedy]], is alone with an older, male player whose dialogue suggests he's about to ask her for money. Her reaction to this? Looking very worried and blurting out the line "Don't come any closer, especially if you want what I think you want!".
** A plotline involving [[spoiler:a top player who turned up to be getting his avatar illegally enhanced beyond what game mechanics allow]]. Now, what would be the equivalent of that if the webseries was a sports story rather than about [[MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame MMORPG]] players?
* A non-comedic and {{Squick}}y example occurs in ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'', with Alex White [[spoiler:[[ColdBloodedTorture torturing]] Rosa Fiametta]]. His [[EvilFeelsGood sadistic delight]] at her suffering while making jabs about her sex life, and the emphasis on her struggling and how he repeatedly stabs her, very quickly starts to look like... [[RapeAsDrama something else]].
* The [[MasterOfUnlocking Lock Picking Lawyer]] has a large collection of videos of him picking locks. He has done a few funny videos for AprilFoolsDay, each of which is a master class on [[ThatsWhatSheSaid double-entendres]]. Among them:

My face is flushing. What is this feeling? Fervid as a flame? Does it have a name? Yes. '''Loathing'''. '''''Unadulterated loathing'''''". Sorry darlings, but that isn't loathing; it's ''[[LesYay lust]]''. Then again, they have been [[WordOfGay confirmed]] to have romantic interest in each other, and Stephen Schwartz (composer) did this intentionally to highlight the irony of using common phrases from love songs in a song about hate instead.
* In the ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' musical adaptation, Pinocchio shouts [[AmbiguouslyGay "I'm good, I'm wood, get used to it!"]] during a song titled "Freak Flag" which rallies the {{Fairy Tale}}s creatures against Farquaad. Already sounding more like a song for a gay pride parade than a theme for any RagtagBunchOfMisfits.

* In ''Theatre/{{Aida|JohnRice}}'', the imprisoned Aida is alone with her captor Radames. He takes off his shirt, saying, "Do you know what's going to happen now?" Several actresses in the role play Aida as being VERY fearful that he's about to force himself on her. He instead orders her to wash his back, something that at the very least is meant to similarly degrade her, at worst, meant to symbolize a rape.
** In the [[Theatre/AidaVerdi operatic source material]], the main antagonist is Ramphis, a [[SinisterMinister fanatical priest with political power]]. Verdi himself may have had anti-clerical views.

* ''Theatre/{{Brand}}'' by Creator/HenrikIbsen has a jarring Christmas scene involving a homeless mother and her child knocking at Brand's door, begging for clothes for her frozen child. The scene plays heavily into the legends of St. Martin and other saints, sharing their clothes with a beggar in the snow, who turns out to be Christ. It also plays in on the Christmas gospel, with the mother Mary seeking shelter and giving birth (at Christmas, of course) to UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} himself. To drive the point home, Brand`s own son is dead, and his wife grieves over her dead son. But given the Christmas references, it is impossible ''not'' to share with the paupers. The scene makes an {{anvilicious}} TearJerker, because we know this is breaking Agnes completely.
* In ''Theatre/ThrillMe'', "Roadster" is honestly about child murder, and not anything sexual. And if you can find a show that can say, "Feel the power of my engine," without making it about sex, you have an ''incredibly'' skilled performer.
* The musical ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', which tells the life of the first US Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton in a style infused by hip-hop and R&B songs, came about when writer-star Lin-Manuel Miranda realised that the story of Hamilton's life was in many ways similar to the classic hip-hop AntiHero narrative. Both are about a young man from an impoverished and socially unrespectable background clawing himself up from the gutter to a position of power in an atmosphere of revolutionary violence, only to make many enemies along the way which eventually leads to his violent downfall.
* In Theatre/TheKingAndI, Tuptim's in-universe adaptation of [[Literature/UncleTomsCabin The Small House of Uncle Thomas]] is a thinly-veiled criticism for her slavery and her separation from her lover. In the middle of the play she goes too far into an AuthorFilibuster and dispenses with all subtleties.

* In ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'', the song "Hello, Little Girl" is theoretically about the Big Bad Wolf trying to eat Little Red Riding Hood, but it's dripping in sexual innuendo. The later song "I Know Things Now" all but drops the pretense, being straightforwardly about her loss of innocence as a result of the encounter.

* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' reveals in its third route, ''Heaven's Feel'', that [[spoiler:Sakura is subjected to torture every night in the basement by her adopted grandfather by being violated by the bugs he can create using his powers. Not to mention that her adopted older brother Shinji regularly beats her and rapes her. Then when this is revealed about Sakura and that she's become a vessel for the Holy Grail (which contains Angra Mainyu, who will use her to be "born"), the SinisterMinister Kirei Kotomine refuses to prevent this because he believes all things have the right to exist (and because he wants to destroy the world), which eventually leads to Sakura's boyfriend Shirou fighting him for her.]]

* ''{{WebVideo/Gameboys}}'': As early as Episode 2, when Gavreel calls Cairo while working out. Gavreel's doing pushups. Cairo is just lying in bed counting his reps. If the inital shot composition with Gav's screen on top and Cai's screen at the bottom didn't clue it in...
-->'''Cairo:''' ... Four... Five... [[FreudianSlip Sex]]SIX. Six...
* The WebVideo/MinutePhysics video ''The Hairy Ball Theorem'', which is about the topological theorem of that name which states that [[DoubleEntendre you can't comb a ball totally flat if it's covered entirely with hair]]. The narrator then goes on to say things like "don't go wasting your time [[DoubleEntendre playing around with a hairy ball]] to try to prove this wrong". At the end, the narrator says that, since the theorem applies not only to balls but any 3-dimensional objects without any holes, the next time a mathematician gives you trouble, you should ask them if they can [[DoubleEntendre comb a hairy banana]].
* Titli of ''WebVideo/TitlisBusyKitchen'' has slipped some dirty imagery into a few episodes of the show, usually involving a large carrot and two smaller fruit positioned next to one another.
%% * [[Creator/MichaelRosen Michael Rosen]]'s infamous "Drilling for oil" routine. So. Very. Much. %% Zero Context

* ''WebVideo/DaisyBrown''. Daisy's relationship with Alan is highly evocative of DomesticAbuse. He physically attacks her under seemingly little provocation, puts her in situations like locking herself in a room and regularly being chased outside, and destroys things beloved by Daisy like her garden and [[spoiler:an innocent animal]] out of apparent spite. Daisy, in turn, tries to defend him even when it's clear Alan is being hurtful. The parallels become even more obvious once [[spoiler:Alan is able to talk, as he uses his newfound ability to verbally insult Daisy over her personal issues]]. Perhaps not coincidentally, [[spoiler:it's implied her father had abusive episodes as well.]]
* In ''WebVideo/LPSPopular'', Brooke, a pale blonde [[CatsAreMean cat]] with blue eyes calls Savannah, a naturally brown dachshund, a wiener dog. Everyone treats this as a horrible slur and Genevieve, one of Savannah’s best friends, only allows herself to say it in a whisper.
* During the 2020 Presidential Election, gaming-based NewsParody site ''Website/HardDrive'' posted the article [[https://thehardtimes.net/harddrive/gamer-sick-of-two-console-system/ "Gamer Sick of Two-Console System,"]] about a gamer who finds it pointless to [[UsefulNotes/ConsoleWars choose between Sony and Microsoft]] ("At the end of the game, they're both just angry old men who want to kill stuff") but can't go TakeAThirdOption with Nintendo because all the games are made for the main two systems so it's basically "throwing your gaming away." It also features an "independent gamer" who insists upon playing Nintendo and the obscure console Raspberry Pi to make true change in the gaming industry.

!!Example sub-pages

* Done for dramatic and tragic effect in ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' a few times.

** This series is ''full'' of these, although a lot of them are inverted to the player and some are subverted due to being pointed out in game. They're always used for tragic effect.
*** An example of a subverted one is in case 3 of the first game. Jack Hammer, an actor, [[spoiler:at first was thought to have been stabbed with a spear but it turns out he died from being pushed of some stairs onto a spiked-fence. 5 years prior, the victim himself (allegedly accidentally) pushed a fellow actor from the same stairs and onto the same spiked fence while filming a scene, killing them. What makes this worse, is that the person who killed Hammer did so in self-defense, when Hammer himself went to get his revenge on them for his treatment after that accident he had caused. Thus it's more then likely that Hammer was accidentally killed in the exact same way and place that he accidentally killed someone himself, due to the fact that he had accidentally killed said previously mentioned someone.]]

* In ''VisualNovel/GrisaiaNoRakuen'', having stayed away all night without eating anything, Makina and Michiru instantly fall upon a container of jam and messily devouring it. A similarly hungry and sleep deprived Sachi follows in moments later, asking Amane whether she thinks it sounds like two girls competing to get something a bit more risque in their mouths before continue to try making triple blowjob sound effects.
