21-->-- '''[[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]]''', ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'', "The Joker's Comedy of Errors!"[[note]]In this context, it actually means a mistake or stupid crime. [[HaveAGayOldTime This definition originated in the 1910s, while the term for an erect penis originated in the 1950s]] -- which just so happens to be [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks when this story was written]].[[/note]]

23Believe it or not, [[EveryoneIsSatanInHell not everyone is trying to]] [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar get crap past the radar]]. [[UsefulNotes/SigmundFreud Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar,]] there's only [[DoubleEntendre a single entendre]], and [[InnocentInnuendo what was meant to be innocent is portrayed completely sincerely]].

25That doesn't stop the immature among us from occasionally finding things to snicker about.

27They were trying ''so'' hard. [[HehHehYouSaidX Haha, "hard".]] It was obvious that nothing dirty was intended, not even in the [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus "wink wink, nudge nudge"]] sense. And yet... thanks to poor word choice, unusual inflection, [[VisualInnuendo bad object placement]] or some other factor, what was obviously meant to be taken at face value takes on some sexual {{subtext}}. Suddenly, an innocent comment about [[CuteKitten cute little kittens]] sounds like something out of bad lesbian erotica. It clearly wasn't ''intentional'', but it can cause a viewer to stop in his or her tracks, trying to stem the giggles. It can sometimes be hard to tell if you're dealing with this trope or a case of DemographicallyInappropriateHumour, especially if you're dealing with a StealthParody.

29The reason for this phenomenon is, of course, the fact that FreudWasRight. HoYay happens when this phenomenon overtakes an entire ''relationship''.

31Distinguished from InnocentInnuendo, which is when the author does this on purpose rather than accidentally, and ThatCameOutWrong, when it is only unintentional on the part of the character, the other characters also catch the dirty meaning, and the victim scrambles to explain himself. Contrast AccidentalPun.
32
33See also HaveAGayOldTime, when this happens due to changes in word use. Also see HehHehYouSaidX, where this is intentionally invoked and pointed out by another character; this is often (but not always) followed up with ThatsWhatSheSaid. When this supposedly reveals what someone is subconsciously thinking about, that's [[FreudianSlip Freudian Sex]]--''[[SelfDemonstratingArticle Slip]]!'' Freudian ''Slip''!
