History Main / PainfulBodyWaxing

So nothing can be funnier than watching [[DoubleStandard a man]] getting his body hair waxed, especially if he screams, yells, or swears while the strips are pulled off. Though this trope can still work and be funny with both genders (say, a woman tolerating a leg waxing when she's not used to it), it's generally funnier with a man, especially if he ScreamsLikeALittleGirl. For one, waxing Bob's bare chest or back can invoke NakedPeopleAreFunny ''and'' be shown entirely on screen (can't exactly do the same with Alice's bikini wax), plus it's amusing to think of a man going into hysterics over something that women endure without complaint.
