Added DiffLines:

* OneGenderRace: The dicks and the pussies are treated as separate species from the humans they're attached to, and it ''seems'', at least, that the dicks are all male and the pussies are all female (though Weenie complicates this).

* GroinAttack: A variant -- Dick's weak spot is the balls attached to Creator/JoeWalker's shins.



* {{Metaphorgotten}}: Joey and Dick's InsistentTerminology for Sally seems to be that she's "a salad", which seems to just be a pun on her name, but when he reconsiders her attractiveness Joey starts talking about how she's a fancy salad from a sit-down restaurant and not a "[=McDonald=]'s salad" like he thought.

* BlackIsBetterInBed: Not-that-subtly referenced by having Big T, the biggest of the Lost Dicks and their leader, played by Corey Dorris, the only black actor in the cast. This is emphasized with Big T's brown clothes matching his skin tone, like Dick and Weenie's khakis.

* WomenAreWiser: A very odd version where, at least, women's ''genitals'' are wiser -- the Council of Pussies is the BigGood shadow government of this whole setting, whereas the Lost Dicks form a despised underclass of violent delinquents. (Also note that while Tiffany is a DumbBlonde, her vagina is significantly smarter, wiser and in the end kinder than she is.)

Added DiffLines:

* LoveIsAWeakness: Seems to be the general opinion of the Council of Pussies, all of them having accumulated bad experiences with penises. They're shocked when the RousingSpeech arguing the other position comes from none other than the most cynical of them, the Old Snatch.

** In a way the whole play is an example -- in Act I the sentient genitals could be read as just a weird metaphor for people at war with their own sexual desires, but this all goes to hell and becomes bizarrely literal after the ShockingSwerve when Dick straight up severs himself from Joey.

* ArtisticLicenseMedicine: A standard "sex change operation" doesn't ''remove'' a penis, it's plastic surgery to turn a penis into a vagina (something that would likely be a big deal in this fantasy world but is never brought up). Then again, all of the Lost Dicks are [[Unreliable Narrator]]s about their pasts.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original 24-hour play version of this script had Creator/DarrenCriss play Dick, continuing the joke about him and Joey Richter being HeterosexualLifePartners from when they were cast as [[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical Harry and Ron]].
** Darren and Joey weren't just friends at the time but roommates, which adds even more subtext to the idea of Joey and Dick sneaking in special time together before getting to school.
** Longtime Starkid fans have commented on how unfortunate it was Lauren Lopez wasn't available for this one, since she seems to exactly fit Joey's description of Vanessa as "that tiny little hot Jewish girl". (This may be influenced by [[ActorShipping Richpez shippers]].) Ironically, in the SPACE Tour version of "Ready to Go", Lauren sings as Tiffany, not Vanessa.

This is because Lauren was a year older than the other Starkid members and had already graduated and moved to New York with Julia Albain -- the subject of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64S3K5yjygY this video]].

From Creator/TeamStarKid, the creators of ''Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical'' and ''WebVideo/LittleWhiteLie'', ''Me and My Dick'' is about a boy, Joey Richter and his dick, Dick. Joey apparently lives in a Universe where people can talk to their body parts, and as a teenaged boy he naturally mainly listens to his Dick. Joey pines for Vanessa, the most beautiful Jewish girl at his school, while [[ObliviousToLove not noticing that his best friend Sally is head over heels for him]]. Things seem to be looking up for him when Vanessa breaks up with her long-time boyfriend and invites him over to her house to ''"study."'' However, when he gives Sally a tight hug, Dick is introduced to Sally's Miss Cooter and it's LoveAtFirstSight. Now Dick can't get it up for anyone but Miss Cooter and it puts Joey in a rough patch.
