"Hold up, why are there heart monitor noises? This thing doesn't have a heart to monitor!"
* '''Invoked''': ???Alice, Charlie, and Diane [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone feel very guilty for breaking Bob's teddy bear]]. They're trying to [[MustMakeAmends make it up to him]], not just by helping him fix it, but by showing they understand how much Bob is attached to his teddy bear. Mimicking surgery was the first thing they thought of to demonstrate the SeriousBusiness.

Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A non-surgical scene (often one that involves fixing an object) is portrayed as a surgical scene.
* '''Straight''': Bob and his friends Alice, Charlie, and Diane try to fix [[CompanionCube Bob's teddy bear]]. The scene has many parallels to a scene in the operating room.
* '''Exaggerated''': The scene is very medically accurate, and even takes place in an actual operating room.
* '''Downplayed''': The scene is similar to how a regular person would fix a toy, but on occasion Bob and his friends say things like "We're losing him!"
* '''Justified''':
** Bob and his friends [[MrImagination are children that like to use their imaginations]].
** Bob's teddy bear is a CompanionCube and is frequently treated as a real character, so it's understandable that they'd pretend to do surgery on it if it's broken.
* '''Inverted''': A MeatgrinderSurgery that involves plenty of NoodleImplements.
* '''Subverted''': ???
* '''Double Subverted''': ???
* '''Parodied''': ???
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': If objects are being fixed, they're fixed in a completely normal way.
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': "Let's just fix your teddy bear in a regular way, no need to be weird about it."
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
