10Visual counterpart to InnocentInnuendo. Someone does something that is innocent on the surface, but can have very dirty connotations.
11
12It generally has several common forms:
13* A man holding something cylindrical or elongated in front of his crotch.
14** It can also include pairs of ball-shaped objects.
15* A woman holding two spherical objects at chest level.
16* [[EroticEating A woman eating anything with a remotely phallic shape.]]
17* [[SomethingElseAlsoRises Something phallic rising up]].
18
19See food examples under EroticEating. PhallicWeapon is a subtrope. If done ''without'' the innuendo, then it's often a case of SceneryCensor, although these two tropes tend to overlap often.
20
21The source of most [[PopCultureUrbanLegends supposed]] (and very few genuine) attempts of GettingCrapPastTheRadar. Often overlaps with FoodAndBodyComparison and PsychosexualHorror.
22----
23!!Examples:
24
25[[foldercontrol]]
26
27[[folder:Advertising]]
28* There was an Alitalia poster on bus stops in New York for a while that showed a closeup of a woman [[EroticEating suggestively eating]] a cannoli.
29* Jerry's Subs & Pizza has a commercial that shows a woman [[EroticEating suggestively eating]] a sub.
30* Many Carl's JR ads feature women sporting minimal clothing and suggestively eating their burgers or sausages.
31* Target's 2009 Black Friday sale ad has a woman standing in a kitchen putting white frosting on a Target GingerbreadHouse. She pauses to describe how excited she is about the sale. As her excitement builds to a crescendo and she tells the viewer "I haven't slept for ''days''!" [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything white frosting]] [[SomethingElseAlsoRises gushes from the tip of her frosting gun]].
32[[/folder]]
33
34[[folder:Art]]
35* The foundation stone of classic ''CommediaDellArte''. Capitano's big sword was always placed suggestively, and Pantalone often caressed his low-hanging moneybags.
36* [[http://www.wikigallery.org/wiki/painting_229051/Isaac-Cruikshank/The-Master-of-the-Ordnance-exercising-his-Hobby This cartoon]] about UsefulNotes/TheDukeOfWellington's alleged womanising.
37* 3D artist Kazushi Kobayashi brings us not simply phallic imagery but [[http://www.geekalerts.com/mecha-robot-models/ a female rider]][[http://www.hobbymedia.it/img/2009/01/dsc_0051-hatsune-miku.jpg to boot.]]
38* Georgia O'Keeffe is a modernist painter who is known primarily for her paintings of flowers, several of which look suspiciously like vaginas, or sometimes other parts of the female reproductive system.
39[[/folder]]
40
41[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
42* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'':
43** Suzu spends one scene bathing, wondering if an invisible Matsuri is staring at her body while keeping guard. Suzu definitely likes the idea, and as she starts describing how the idea makes her feel, the next panel is a dripping showerhead.
44** Matsuri putting his hands up Suzu's ''shirt sleeve'' is used as a very over-the-top penetration metaphor. His arms are even trembling as he slowly puts them in.
45* ''Literature/CatPlanetCuties'': In the first episode when Eris is introduced to Manami, Aoi, and Maki, each of them stares at Eris's chest in shock while huge, bouncing fruits (cantaloupes, watermelons, and pears) suddenly appear.
46* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': The shadow cast by Mao and his chainsaw. Jarring as it is, it makes sense, given Mao's [[{{Yandere}} moti]][[AxeCrazy vation]] and his [[BlessedWithSuck back]][[FreudianExcuse story]].
47* ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx'' has tons of examples, but the piloting positions of [[HumongousMecha the Franxx's]] female and male drivers is arguably the most blatant. Said position involves the girl being on all fours, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything while the boy stands behind her and holds her hips as they move in sync]].
48* In ''Literature/TheDevilIsAPartTimer'', when Chiho appears in a bikini and [[ACupAngst Emi doesn't like what she sees]], the scene [[JumpCut jump cuts]] to Maou serving a pair of one-pound hamburgers (topped with pickles, in case the innuendo wasn't obvious enough). It then shows Emi in her bikini, and cuts again to Maou serving a much smaller pair of burgers.
49* In ''The Literature/DirtyPair: Dangerous Acquaintences'', Kei and Yuri are on vacation on a non-United Galatica planet. They see an attractive guy and start talking to him:
50-->'''Kei:''' Oh look... a train! Gee... I jush love watchin' a train enner a station… don' you? It reminsh me of someth-- ?!
51* ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' shows a lot of suggestive imagery (train entering a tunnel) while he hear Excel's comments as she is [[BlackComedyRape raped]] by a little girl android.
52* ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' is [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/FLCLheartSymbol.jpg full]] of it.
53** It's amazing how ''kneading dough'' in a bakery can have such perverse connotations.
54* ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'': At one point Onizuka wears an elephant costume with the trunk coming out of his crotch, and then sprays Mrs. Oda from it when she walks in.
55* ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'': Used regularly in the manga version.
56** In chapter 26, Alice's puppy (Zeke) gets sandwiched upside-down between Rei and Shizuka's boobs. Their breasts being so massive that only Zeke's tail is visible. It's seen jutting straight in the air like an erection near Rei's open mouth.
57** Three chapters later, Shizuka stuffs a net launcher down her cleavage creating the same visual effect. When Saya asks ''why'' she's doing it, Shizuka replies that it seemed like [[InnocentInnuendo "the natural place"]] to put it.
58* In Episode 3 of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', as Ranka is delivering food from Nyan Nyan to Alto and his fellow pilots she brings out a pair of tuna buns. However, when she presents them to Alto she opens the box they are in at chest level. Naturally, Alto thinks for a moment that Ranka is flashing her chest at him, not helped by the fact that said box is the same color as her qipao.
59%%* ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'': The mouth of the Jewel Seed Tree Monster resembles a different bodily opening...
60* ''Manga/MonsterMusume'': In [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies Papi's]] introductory chapter, she asks Kimihito to hold her popsicle while she eats it, since she can't really hold it with her wings. She then proceeds to [[EroticEating eat it in the most lascivious manner possible]], prompting the onlookers to assume that Kimihito is a pervert. Not helped by him eventually pulling the popsicle out of her mouth, causing ice cream to splatter on her face. [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Papi]], naturally, has no idea what the big deal is.
61* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'':
62** There is a really risque KissOfTheVampire / FuroScene with Evangeline going into [[TheVamp vamp]] territory on Negi. WeaselMascot Chamo happens to be positioned right in front of Negi as this happens, and well...
63** Chamo's introduction also had a winner: he jumps in the bath and one of the girls manages to catch him while he's swimming between Negi's legs. It's so blatant that it barely qualifies as innuendo.
64** Negi catches Evangeline after she falls off a bridge. With his staff protruding from between his legs. While water drips off of it. Oh, and Evangeline [[ClothingDamage is naked]] during all this.
65* ''Literature/{{Shimoneta}}'': Kosuri's hairstyle and its color are designed to resemble the glans of a penis. Whenever she's excited, her body stiffens like an erection. But when she gets scolded, her hair droops and her shoulders slumps, making her seem 'flaccid'. Her hair also serves as a visual reminder that she's [[BitchInSheepsClothing "a dick"]].
66* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' has [[ThisIsADrill drills]] ''everywhere''. ''Some'' of it, notably the HotSpringsEpisode (with Simon running around naked; his [[SceneryCensor crotch obscured only by his drill]]) ''had'' to have been intentional.
67** Through the course of the series Kamina has: a metaphorical 'drill' erection, a laser erection, a Boota erection, a sword erection and whatnot...
68** The design of the Dai-Gurren, an [[BaseOnWheels aircraft carrier with legs]] which is a huge robot with [[GagPenis a ship that comes out from the junction of its upper and lower body with a curved, bladed bow]].
69*** This is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in the BeachEpisode, when the bow takes damage from a torpedo and the male characters on the bridge [[ShareTheMalePain clutch at themselves in empathetic agony]]. Hilariously, [[CampGay Leeron]] doesn't flinch then, but jumps when something hits the robot from below.
70** [[spoiler:Antispiral Nia]]'s black LatexSpaceSuit has red TronLines going about it. The concentric circles on her breasts [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything easily remind you of]] [[NippleAndDimed something]].
71* In ''Manga/YakitateJapan'', when Spencer cooks bread dough he's wrapped around a bamboo rod, nearly every panel has him holding the rod right in front of him rather suggestively. With dialogue to match.
72[[/folder]]
73
74[[folder:Card Games]]
75* ''Tabletopgame/{{Magic the Gathering}}'' has a few:
76** Robert Bliss went through a phase of working in phallic imagery. [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=3442 Ekundu Cyclops]] is his best known; let's hope the stuff hanging between his legs is just some sort of tail. Also this card features an Ogress sitting on some kind of tree with a surprisingly phallic shape. [[http://magiccards.info/mr/en/179.html Goblin Soothsayer]] has a similar composition, and then there's [[http://magiccards.info/mr/en/4.html Binding Agony]]...
77** [[http://www.mythicspoiler.com/ust/cards/thudforduds.html Thud-for-Duds]] features a goblin woman in a LittleBlackDress with exposed cleavage [[VisualInnuendo swinging a hammer at a pair of bombs while a male goblin eagerly looks on and winds a crank with his hands.]]
78** [[http://www.mythicspoiler.com/ust/cards/petproject.html Pet Project]] looks perfectly innocent at first glance. But when you take a closer look at its front left and back right paws...
79[[/folder]]
80
81[[folder:Comic Books]]
82* The first page of ''ComicBook/BatwomanRebirth'' #3 is a scene of a papaya being cut. Several close-ups of the opened fruit and the cutter's fingers resemble female masturbation.
83* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' has some examples. Look at Thugboy and his gun on the cover of #1.
84* In an issue of ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', the ComicBook/BlackPanther uses a time travel device known as King Solomon's Frogs. In order to activate the device, he has to place one frog atop the other, inadvertently causing it to look like they frogs are having sex. {{Lampshaded}} when Deathlok says "Aw, that's just crude..."
85* ''ComicStrip/ForBetterOrForWorse'':
86** In a strip set during Michael's early teenage years, his friend Gordon has what he calls "hormone attacks", where anything that could be taken as sexual causes him to pass out. When their gym teacher holds up two basketballs at chest height...
87** Another single-panel gag has the memorable line from his little sister Liz, as they both cloud-gaze, "I see Mickey Mouse['s ears] in the clouds...what do you see?"
88* ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'':
89** The alien squid (in the comic version) vaguely resembles a woman's crotch, legs spread. Because the resemblance is vague and grotesque, the squid is dead, and there are also a lot of dead human bodies lying around, this is also a case of FanDisservice.
90** Dan and Laurie fight off a gang of muggers. Their actions afterward are to stand there panting and sweaty, briefly look at each other, and then look away, whereupon one of them [[SmokingHotSex lights a cigarette]]. Sadly less obvious in the movie, thanks to the removal of Laurie's smoking.
91** When Dan and Laurie have sex in Archie, the flamethrower goes off at the climax.
92* X-Men 15, “Prisoners of the Mysterious Master Mold!”, at those long gone days of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The X-Men need to hold on a platform to ram into a building, and Iceman couldn't craft anything better than a surface with a pair of phallic cylinders to hold. See [[http://x-aspirations.com/?p=692 here]]
93-->'''Beast:''' This doesn't seem very dignified, but I suppose it's necessary.
94[[/folder]]
95
96[[folder:Fanfiction]]
97* In ''[[https://pw-kink-meme-archive.dreamwidth.org/12024.html?thread=2384376#cmt2384376 Limp]]'', VisualNovel/PhoenixWright laments how his animesque hair no longer defies gravity.
98[[/folder]]
99
100[[folder:Film -- Animated]]
101* ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'': The performance art that Frida Kahlo previews for Miguel begins with multiple versions of herself climbing out of a half-eaten papaya. "Papaya" is a Spanish slang term for a woman's naughty parts.
102* ''WesternAnimation/KronksNewGroove'' features a scene where he and his love interest bake bread, which turns into an extended dance sequence. Which includes a shot of Kronk behind Miss Birdwell and... um... helping her knead bread dough.
103* The film ''WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler'' includes a scene where the thief steals some balls, and [[http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j175/muzition/thiefballs.jpg?t=1254273475 hides them]] in his clothes.
104* ''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit: WesternAnimation/TheCurseOfTheWereRabbit'' :
105** The movie has Totty standing behind two chest-height watermelons, just as she says that her suitor has never taken interest in her produce. A similar sight gag happens when one woman holds up two bitten brassicas (a sort of cabbage) which have been "ravaged in the night."
106** Not to mention a naked Wallace [[HandOrObjectUnderwear covering himself with a box]] with the words "May Contain Nuts" on it.
107%%* Who could forget ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a86QgZVgbyQ this]]'' infamous scene from Music/PinkFloyd's ''Film/TheWall?''
108[[/folder]]
109
110[[folder:Film -- Live-Action]]
111* The opening scene of ''Film/NineteenFortyOne1979'' where a SkinnyDipping woman finds herself clutching the upthrusting periscope of a surfacing Japanese submarine (also serves as a hilarious ''Film/{{Jaws}}'' take-off).
112* In ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', the stewardess must inflate the automatic pilot by blowing into on a tube on his belt buckle... when someone looks at her from behind it looks like fellatio. The effect is only accentuated when Otto (the automatic pilot)'s previously bland and stoic expression changes into a big, wide-eyed grin once she's finished... And then his head nods/flops forward, as if in reaction to orgasm.
113* In ''Film/AustinPowersTheSpyWhoShaggedMe'', there's a scene where Austin and Felicity are packing and unpacking inside of a tent, but to the horrified soldiers watching outside, it looks a lot different... The scene is repeated in ''Goldmember'', where Mini Me first acts as a prehensile wang and then a demonic birth.
114* ''Film/BlazingSaddles'' had the Governor trying to put a pen back into its holder. Hedley Lamarr just tells him, "Think of your secretary," and he gets it right into the little... place it's designed to go.
115* In ''Literature/BridgetJones' Diary'', Bridget's mother gets a job shilling an "As Seen On TV" gizmo at the mall. It automatically shells a hard-boiled egg. Just put in the egg, then work the shaft and out pops an egg! Then [[RuleOfFunny some white liquid]].
116* In ''Film/CannibalGirls'', the red-headed Cannibal Girl Clarissa is at one point seen chowing down on a carrot in a very phallic manner.
117* In ''Film/DeepInTheValley'', Lester is hiding under [[GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals a pile of stuffed toys]] as he watches Daphne undress. As he does so, a plush rooster slowly rises up out of the pile.
118* A staggering moment in Creator/WCFields short film ''The Dentist'' where Fields, the dentist, is performing a difficult tooth extraction from an attractive woman. He winds up between her knees humping away trying to extract the tooth, as her high-heeled shoes point at the camera while she moans (with pain). And if that weren't enough, he eventually pulls her out of the chair, and they go staggering around the office with her legs wrapped around his waist. Eventually he pulls the tooth, whereupon the woman slides to the floor in a heap. Even in UsefulNotes/ThePreCodeEra, that was really pushing it.
119* ''Film/TheDove'': Sigrid the lesbian offers her cigar to Inga and says "Phalliken symbolsk?"
120* In ''Film/DownWithLove'', two characters are having a phone conversation at the same time as engaging in various activities. A split screen makes these activities simulate sex. For instance, when the man is on the top of the split screen, he is shown doing push-ups while the woman is on her back on the bottom of the split screen. They even simultaneously have a [[SmokingHotSex "post-coital" cigarette]] at the end of the scene.
121* ''Film/DrStrangelove'', filled as it is with weird sexual innuendo, starts with a scene of two airplanes refueling in midair, but the way it's filmed makes it look like they're having sex. Which was brilliant, because the footage was not shot for the movie: it was StockFootage. All Creator/StanleyKubrick did was play an instrumental version of "Try a Little Tenderness" over it.
122* In ''Film/EveryWhichWayButLoose'', Philo and Orville stop by a roadside fruit stand manned by sexy Echo (Beverly D'Angelo). As Orville is chatting her up, she holds up two cantaloupes at chest level and says "Want some cantaloupes?" Orville's eyes gleam.
123* The film ''Film/Ghost1990'' should've gotten rated R for the wet clay and the potter's wheel.
124* ''Film/GimmeShelter1970'': If it wasn't enough that Music/TinaTurner was orgasmically moaning during her performance of "I've Been Loving You Too Long", and singing about how her man has to give her what she needs, she fondles her microphone stand in a way that makes it look very, very phallic.
125* ''Film/HaroldAndMaude'' has a scene where Maude is showing Harold her sculptures. They focus in on one in particular, an abstract oval structure with a large hole in the middle. Harold seems enthralled by it and runs his hands all over it, including through the middle.
126* ''Film/InherentVice'' has a dialogue-free scene in which Bigfoot Bjornsen, the intimidating, hulking cop, fellates a popsicle, much to stoner Doc Sportello's astonishment.
127* ''Film/OddObsession'': After Kimora climbs on top of Toshiko [[{{Fetish}} (while she is still staring at nude pictures of her mom!)]] the film cuts to shots of trains in the nearby train station. Specifically, multiple shots of train cars--coupling. Followed by a shot of a steam whistle going off.
128* ''Film/OfficeSpace'' does this when Lawrence is talking about how he'd do two chicks at the same time: He's sitting down and holding his beer bottle against his crotch.
129* ''Film/NorthByNorthwest'' has the famous "train going into a tunnel" version. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSAisV76fRM Here!]]
130* ''Film/ThePenalty'': Despite having no legs, Blizzard the crime boss loves to play piano. He can't hit the pedals, though, so he has to get someone to do it for him. First an anonymous moll is doing it, and then Rose does it when she becomes Blizzard's moll. This requires the pedaler to get down on her knees at Blizzard's feet (or where his feet would be, that is). The pose of sexual subjugation is obvious.
131* In the ''Film/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'' movie, the Hades poster has a silver hand on his belt. And the hand looks like it's groping his crotch.
132* ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd'':
133** Barbossa and Jack, feuding over who is captaining the ''Black Pearl'', both pull out their telescopes. Jack is disappointed when his is significantly smaller. Later, he steps up to the rail with an enormous, sagging spyglass. Barbossa gives him an AsideGlance.
134** At the gathering of the Brethren Court, Barbossa bangs on a table with a chain shot (two cannonballs connected by a chain) for emphasis. Later he stands up and we have a perfectly framed shot of his legs, with the two cannonballs dangling in between.
135--->'''Jack:''' Whose boons? Your boons?
136* In ''Film/PlanB'', when Bruno first sees his ex-girlfriend with another man and grows jealous -- and maybe just a little too aware that the other man is quite good-looking -- the camera cuts to a shot of the other man holding his large camera in front of his crotch.
137* A much darker example in ''Film/{{Psycho}}'' during the infamous ShowerScene. The knife has a distinctly phallic silhouette, the stabbing that represents penetration, the ejaculatory spurts of blood--the whole murder is symbolic of a rape that the severely sexually frustrated and repressed killer cannot otherwise carry out.
138* In ''Film/RearWindow'', Jeff is spying on his neighbors with binoculars. Frustrated when he can't see enough, he puts them down, and picks a camera with a telescopic lens. As in... ''longer''. Classic Hitchcock symbolism. Oddly, despite the fact that voyeurism is generally a sexually deviant activity, this isn't why Jeff is snooping.
139* ''Film/RobinHoodMenInTights''. The moonlight serenade scene. Robin's sword.
140* ''Film/ShirleyValentine'' depicts waves crashing on the shore and a ship's mast rocking back and forth during its scene, all backed by dramatic orchestral music. {{Lampshaded}} by the main character:
141--> '''Shirley:''' Oh my God! Where did that orchestra come from?!
142* ''Film/{{Spaceballs}}'' did this with lightsaber stand-ins, as is pictured above.
143* ''Film/StarshipTroopers3Marauder'' has this happening to cute [[BridgeBunnies Holly Little]]. Sprawled awkwardly after getting a faceload of alien goo, a suddenly-appearing crack in the earth points directly up her skirt, then a penile-like claw bursts from the ground between her legs, whereupon she and [[Series/StarTrekEnterprise Jolene Blalock]] are seized by a gigantic [[VaginaDentata man-eating vagina]] with [[AGodAmI delusions of grandeur]].
144* ''Film/TheStarfighters'' also features hot StockFootage of in-flight refueling, which were a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5cEpoHLFOk source of constant merriment]] on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''.
145* ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'' gives us Devastator, who sports a pair of wrecking balls between his legs. ''[[FridgeLogic Which none of his components have in vehicle mode.]]''
146** This is also lampshaded. [[spoiler: "In position under enemy scrotum!"]]
147* German comedy movie ''(T)Raumschiff Surprise'' has a case where one character shows another one his music box. To explain: inside the box is a small pig whose tail extends when being poked. A third character sees the shadow of the others and the pigs shadow is ''very'' phallic.
148* The last shot of ''Film/BloodMachines'' [[spoiler:shows the GiantWoman resting against the giant glowing ArcSymbol that resembles a flower. Open flowers are typically used as yonic symbols, meaning the image represents a form of rebirth.]]
149[[/folder]]
150
151[[folder:Food]]
152* The Old Spaghetti Factory serves the [[DoubleEntendre Meat Lover's Treat]]: a plate of spaghetti with Sicilian meatballs and a whole Italian sausage.
153* Several French restaurants have independently invented a dessert called ''Rêve de jeune fille'' ("young woman's dream"). It's made up of two spherical scoops of vanilla ice cream with a peeled banana standing right between the two. For additional naughtiness, serve with cream on top of the banana. For further additional naughtiness, serve without a spoon.
154* There's a traditional Sicilian pastry called [[http://www.mangiabenepasta.com/images/virgins_breasts.jpg Virgin's breasts]] , a dome-shaped pastry filled with cream and traditionally topped with a cherry.
155[[/folder]]
156
157[[folder:Literature]]
158* Creator/TerryPratchett does this with ''landscape'' in Literature/{{Discworld}}'s Literature/LordsAndLadies. At one point, Nanny Ogg and Casanunda have to visit the Long Man, three large burial mounds in the forest. One long with two round ones at one end. It also gets one of the heaviest [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] possible.
159** A Wizard's staff has a knob on the end.[[note]]Which has now been {{defictionalized}} as a FilkSong.[[/note]]
160** In ''Literature/UnseenAcademicals'', Glenda points out to the wizards that with the placement of two large letter U's on their uniforms, they'll "look like they've got bosoms!"
161[[/folder]]
162
163[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
164* A frequently-run ad for ''Series/{{Andromeda}}'' has Dylan Hunt using a force lance, a laser-flashlight that expands into a six-foot staff. He holds it right at crotch level, in profile, and lets it grow. Seriously, I'm amazed it even got on the air in prime time, let alone run all day when kids could see it.
165* An accidental version occurred in the third season of the UK version of ''Series/TheApprentice'', where one of the contestants had to sell a trampoline on a shopping channel. [[http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eZP3Xcuo16E It might be a bit NSFW.]]
166** This made the "''The Apprentice:'' The Worst Decisions Ever" special.
167--->'''Simon:''' It's not my fault. I'm innocent. Everyone else, out there, are the dirty-minded ones. I can only attest to being an innocent person.
168** The design of the building in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xi3d1ix-3I this clip]] also qualifies. Yes, that's the same candidate.
169* ''Series/TheBennyHillShow'':
170** There are several sketches where Benny is a gardener watering plants with a hose held up at crotch level. It's positioned so that you don't see the hose at first, just the water coming out.
171** There's also a sketch where a woman is sitting at a roadside farm stand with two large melons on the table in front of her. Benny rides by on a bicycle and [[DistractedByTheSexy crashes]].
172* In ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', after an argument Raj decides to gift Howard a belt buckle with a tiny lightsaber on it. By itself isn't that bad, but he was wearing an identical one and shows that the lightsaber can light up, which looks really wrong at waist level. Raj didn't get it, and starts gyrating in [[DiggingYourselfDeeper a theoretical lightsaber belt buckle duel]].
173* The ''Franchise/BuffyVerse'' shows, ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' and ''Series/{{Angel}}'', include a lot of this: the stake in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E10Hush Hush]]", Wesley's arm-blades in "[[Recap/AngelS04E06SpinTheBottle Spin The Bottle]]", and Buffy (hilariously) crushing Warren's *ahem* magic orbs in "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E19SeeingRed Seeing Red]]".
174** In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS5E10IntoTheWoods Into the Woods]]", when Buffy discovers her post-Angel [[ReplacementGoldfish rebound guy]] Riley at the vamphouse, the scene opens with him and a female vampire kneeling before him, shot at an angle (and with sound effects) that makes it unclear just ''what'' she is sucking, but that there is [[EroticEating definitely sucking going on]]. Then the camera pans around to show that it's just blood from his arm.
175** Not to mention Buffy's EroticDream in the [[ComicBook/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Season eight comics]], where she's in between Angel and Spike and all around them are gushing volcanoes, trains entering tunnels, stakes, flowers.. you name it that panel had it.
176* ''Series/GameOfThrones'': In "[[Recap/GameOfThronesS3E10Mhysa Mhysa]]", after Ramsay gelds Theon Greyjoy, he makes a grand show of eating a large sausage in front of him.
177** ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': The arena where TheTourney takes place in the pilot episode is shaped like a vulva, likely to complement the BirthDeathJuxtaposition with Aemma's bloody DeathByChildbirth (or rather death by TraumaticCSection).
178* In ''Series/{{Glee}}'', when Emma is singing about how she could have "done a thousand things I've never done before", there's a close-up of a pearl necklace. For those who don't know, it's a slang term for when a man ejaculates semen around his partner's neck.
179* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDxDYIQL6Nc The Popsicle Twins]] on ''Series/TheGongShow''.
180* ''Series/InterviewWithTheVampire2022'': In "[[Recap/InterviewWithTheVampire2022S1E1InThroesOfIncreasingWonder In Throes of Increasing Wonder...]]", Lestat de Lioncourt sensuously inserts his cigarette (which is encased in a cigarette holder, so it appears thicker and longer) into his mouth and puffs on it deeply while [[EatingTheEyeCandy mentally undressing Louis de Pointe du Lac with his eyes]] as the latter sits down at the poker table. To put it bluntly, Lestat is conveying non-verbally his desire to suck on his LoveInterest's "appendage," as he calls it.
181* In ''Series/{{Life On Mars|2006}}'', Gene and Sam are visiting a comatose girl in the hospital when they start a fight. They whale on each other for a bit, and then the camera cuts to them sprawled on the floor at the end of the bed, slightly the worse for wear, breathing heavily, and with Gene [[SmokingHotSex smoking a cigarette]] as they have a heart-to-heart conversation.
182* ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'': Whilst in Numenor, Halbrand pulls Galadriel in close with her hand ending up on the dagger between the two. She's left breathless when he leaves.
183* In keeping with the theme of the show, the title sequence of ''Series/MastersOfSex'' is a long series of examples: trains going into tunnels, cucumbers being washed, champagne popping, and suggestively shaped mushrooms growing.
184* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': In "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS8E3 Orchis Fatalis]]", Professor Margaret Winstanley flirts with both Barnaby and Scott. At one point she tells Barnaby that orchids are like testicles and then cups two round roots that are very suggestive.
185* In one episode of ''Series/TheNanny'' Fran, C.C. and Val go on a girls night to a cigar club. C.C. wonders why men are staring at them smoking, then all three stick the cigars in their mouths and start sucking.
186* In ''Series/RobinHood'', Little John totes around a large staff, and in the episode ''Treasure of the Nation'', meets one of the Queen's bodyguards, who has an even ''bigger'' staff, with a large wooden knob at the end of it. Little John spends a good part of the episode eyeing it nervously.
187* In one of the episodes of ''Series/SamanthaWho'', the title character (who has experienced amnesia) is trying to remember what sex is like and the next scene shows her boyfriend repeatedly putting a pencil into a mechanical sharpener.
188* ''Series/{{Selfie}}'': In "Un-Tag My Heart" Eliza tries to invoke this when she thinks her [[FriendsWithBenefits casual sex buddy]] is looking at her by sucking on a pen. Henry, standing next to her, points out how toxic that is.
189* On the "Virtual Slide" episode of ''Series/{{Sliders}}'', we find a man painting a house while wearing VR goggles. It's explained that he believes he's painting a mural. Cut to a man inserting a long hose into a tunnel, and Rembrandt comments "I wonder what he thinks he's doing."
190* ''Series/TheSopranos'':
191** Vito lies in bed with Jim. They roll onto their sides and Jim embraces Vito from behind. Cut to a shot of Bobby's trainset, as a train goes through one of the model tunnels.
192* In ''Series/TheStand1994'', Larry is trying to get some gas and gets Nadine to help put a hose into the floor as they talk about how Joe needed a surrogate father as well as Nadine. They feel very awkward as they realize the symbolism here.
193* The {{Media Watchdog}}s descended upon the UsefulNotes/SuperBowl [=XLI=] halftime show, when Music/{{Prince}} played his guitar (shaped to look like his symbol) behind a drape in silhouette, making it look as if the neck is...well...and oh, yeah, a piece of the body stuck out below the neck to look like...oh my.
194** It's ''Prince''. The man could do his taxes with an abacus and make it look sexual.
195* An episode of ''Series/TwoPintsOfLagerAndAPacketOfCrisps'' featured Jonny polishing a long, thin pepper grinder in a very... suggestive manner, without quite realising he was doing it.
196* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsZNra4-u-4#t=0m59s This reporter]] is touching an art sculpture and it looks like she's giving [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jumper+cables&defid=2446377 jumper cables]].

199[[folder:Music]]
200!!Cover art
201* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_%26_Queens_(Ava_Max_song)#/media/File:Ava_Max_-_Kings_&_Queens.png cover]] of Music/AvaMax's "Kings & Queens" features Ava sitting on a throne, holding a sword between her legs. The lyrics also use the PhallicWeapon trope:
202-->''And you might think I'm weak without a sword\
203But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours''
204
205!!Music videos
206* The music video for {{Music/Devo}}'s "That's Good" has a bluescreen background that, on occasion, shows a french fry going into the hole in a donut, followed a naked woman from the [[ShouldersUpNudity shoulders up]] writhing in ecstasy. It's... fairly unsubtle. (Then the fries start breaking as they go in, and the woman begins looking downwards with a sigh of frustration...) MTV refused to air the video before either the french fry or the donut was removed.
207* Music/QueensOfTheStoneAge's "Go with the Flow" video has lots of visual innuendo tucked behind the more overt examples.
208* The animated Music Video for Creator/{{Tobuscus}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN7dYDYfvVg I CAN SWING MY SWORD!]] at [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN7dYDYfvVg#t=0m33s timestamp 0:33]]. Doesn't help that his eyes are bugging out either.
209* The music video for KoreanPopMusic group Music/{{EXID}}'s song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfXZ6ydgZyo Up and Down]]" features heavy doses of phallic and other sexual images.
210* Many a performer (really. too many performers to list) will simulate sexual intercourse by [[MatingDance thrusting, pumping or grinding his or her pelvis]] while singing a [[IntercourseWithYou sex song]].
211* Hot Action Cop's ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAURo0rwt6g Fever for the Flava]]'', with more visual innuendo per second than pretty much anything else ever made- about 80%+ of the entire video has at least one on screen (the parts that don't are either focusing on the band playing, surreal imagery of the singer's face flowing over organs inside peoples' bodies, or dropping all subtlety to just show legs kicking as dozens of people have sex) and most of them have ''several.'' It's a [[HurricaneOfPuns Hurricane of]] Visual Innuendo!
212[[/folder]]
213
214[[folder:Pinball]]
215* ''Pinball/{{Embryon}}'' is a game that requires the player to incubate [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe red- and blue-skinned alien females]] from [[UterineReplicator organic pods.]] The center of the playfield features two captive balls trapped in a pair of curved arches, with more than a passing resemblance to a vagina.
216* ''Pinball/WhoaNellieBigJuicyMelons'', almost needless to say, has {{Farmers Daughter}}s holding the [[{{Pun}} titular]] melons at chest height.
217[[/folder]]
218
219[[folder:Print Media]]
220* The Warwick University Rowing Club's Warwick Rowing Men's [[http://www.buzzfeed.com/mattbellassai/the-naked-british-rowing-team-strips-down-again-for-a-whole calendar]] has a lot of visual innuendo and [[HoYay homoerotic images]].{{NSFW}}
221[[/folder]]
222
223[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
224* The squirrel girl Wrestling/SoloDarling collects nuts. In Wrestling/{{WSU}} she stores them in a plastic bag, which swings between her legs, like a sack.
225[[/folder]]
226
227[[folder:Video Games]]
228* ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'':
229** If you get a GameOver, you're treated to an X-ray of Boyfriend's cracked skeleton, alongside two pulsating blue spheres located on his crotch.[[note]][[DontExplainTheJoke blueballs]][[/note]].
230** In one GameMod, ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinXRayMod'', most of the adult male characters have these spheres on their crotches, but they aren't often blue. X-Boyfriend only ever has the spheres on the GameOver screen.
231* The ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAuto'' games have this in ''spades''. for example, practically any bowling-alley you can find, will have a sign prominently featuring two bowling-balls and a pin.
232* In ''VideoGame/GrooveOnFight'', Elderly TagTeamTwins [[ChainedHeat Oume and Otame]] [[KissOfDeath kiss their opponents to steal energy from them]] to [[FountainOfYouth temporarily restore their youth]]. This involves one bent over the other, who is on her knees while both grabbing onto the opponent to doing so.
233* In ''[[VideoGame/KittyPowersMatchmaker Kitty Powers' Love Life]]'', Kitty Towers looks suspiciously like a certain male organ, which erects more floors as you level up until it finally has a fountain installed on the 20th floor's rooftop.
234* ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'': Vamp licking Raiden's white blood off of his crotch knife.
235* In ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', the main character Travis recharges his Beam Katana by shaking it. But, the behind the back camera makes it look suspiciously like something else...
236* In ''VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}'', Gillian sees an underage girl in his apartment, using his shower. She freaks out and sprays him with her showerhead. He spends the next scene looking damp, flushed and shocked with fluid dripping down his face.
237[[/folder]]
238
239[[folder:Webcomics]]
240* ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' has one strip early on where a beam sword (think lightsaber) is held in front of one guy's crotch and activated, as two demons shapeshifted into scantily clad women make out in front of him.
241* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': When [[spoiler:Jake kisses Dirk's head]], there is [[SomethingElseAlsoRises a volcano erupting rather dramatically in the background]]. In contrast, [[spoiler:Rose and Kanaya]] share their first on-screen kiss while standing in a long, dark tunnel. ''Yeah.''
242* ''Webcomic/ThePaulReveres'' features The Green Mountain Boys being like [[http://paul-reveres.com/?comic=page-11-6 this]] after capturing Fort Ticonderoga.
243[[/folder]]
244
245[[folder:Web Original]]
246* In Chapter 10, Act 2 of the web animation series ''WebAnimation/BrokenSaints'', when [[SexySecretary Sandra]] talks about wanting to do field work at a naval base with hunky sailors, a little animation features her moving her pencil to and from her lips. It's not much, but its been confirmed by WordOfGod to be intentional.
247* ''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Website/Superdickery Superdickery]]'' has an entire gallery of such things, starting [[http://www.superdickery.com/tag/seduction-of-the-innocent here]].
248* ''WebVideo/StarWarsDownUnder'', an Australian FanFilm spoof. When the Sith Troopers activate their light-boomerangs, they're being held at groin level. The downward curve of the boomerang [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything makes them appear somewhat]]...[[TheLoinsSleepTonight droopy]].
249* The subreddit [[https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlypenis/ Mildly Penis]] is entirely dedicated to this trope.
250[[/folder]]
251
252[[folder:Western Animation]]
253* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': "The Pods" features a non-sexual example, with the third pod from the magic beans resembling a pair of buttocks. It produces ice cream, and the ice cream coming out of the... opening [[ToiletHumor just happens to be chocolate-flavored]].
254* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''
255** "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSouthernRaiders The Southern Raiders]]" had a rather infamous scene that implied Sokka and Suki were meeting up for a romantic night in his tent, and the next morning Sokka is seen wearing a flower necklace. In other words, Sokka got lei'd and Suki got deflowered.
256** In "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderBitterWork Bitter Work]]", [[BlackMagicianGirl Toph]] steals [[MartialPacifist Aang's]] staff and a bag of nuts when he gives up his Earthbending training for not being [[MeaningfulName *tough*]] enough.
257* In ''WesternAnimation/BalloonLand'' the villain is an anthropomorphic safety pin. An ''open'' safety pin.
258* In the ''Series/CornerGas Animated'' episode [[Recap/CornerGasAnimatedS1E11SmokeACola "Smoke A Cola"]], Wanda flirts with a cardboard standee of a buff military man advertising Commando Cola. After her flirting, she opens a can of cola that sprays her in the face, causing her to laugh and remark "Someone's excited."
259* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' ''Franchise/StarWars'' parody, Herbert's lightsaber is limp until he spots Chris.
260* In the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short "Russian Rhapsody" when the gremlins make their entrance a fat one stands near the edge of the plane engine and another gremlin's very long nose pokes out from between his legs.
261* At the end of ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'' episode "Powdered Toast Man", Powdered Toast Man (now President of the United States) and his lovely assistant are seen roasting a wiener and marshmallow, respectively, while sporting suggestive grins. According to the DVD commentary, this just barely got past the radar.
262* ''WesternAnimation/RocketMonkeys'':
263** In the episode "What Does the Clam Say?", one scene takes place in the bathroom. Wally is taking a shower, and starts looking at the fortune clams with Gus. His genitalia is seen [[CensorSuds covered in bubbles]]. You can even see the shape of it when he finds a sealing iron that landed on Gus.
264* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
265** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS3E2MrLisaGoesToWashington Mr. Lisa Goes to Washington]]", Marge and Homer visit the Washington Monument. Marge giggles and whispers something in Homer's ear.
266-->'''Homer:''' [[HypocriticalHumor Oh, Marge, grow up!]]
267** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E8NewKidOnTheBlock New Kid on the Block]]", a young couple is about to move into the house next door to the Simpsons' when they look out the window and see Homer lounging in a kiddie pool, fishing a half-eaten hot dog out from between his legs. They immediately leave in disgust.
