Line #2 PlayingWith/ScreamsLikeALittleGirl


1	'''Basic Trope''': A man sees something that makes him scream in a feminine way, whether for joy or terror.
2	* '''Straight''': Bob sees a dead body on his front porch and screams. When he screams, he has a high voice like a woman.
3	* '''Exaggerated''': Bob's scream is so high, that only dogs can hear it.
4	* '''Downplayed''':
5	** When Bob screams, he goes from a baritone to a tenor.
6	** Bob's normal voice isn't very deep, and when screams, it's higher than usual, but you can still tell it's a man.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Bob is trans and still undergoing treatment for his voice.
9	** Adrenaline can make people sound higher because it tightens your muscles, including your vocal cords.
10	** Bob is a little boy whose voice hasn't changed.
11	** Bob is a teenager whose voice is going through the phase where it cracks and changes a lot.
12	** Bob is a ManOfAThousandVoices who accidentally slipped in one of his CrossDressingVoices.
13	* '''Inverted''':
14	** Bob sees a dead body and does a strangely low roar.
15	** Bob [[VocalDissonance sounds like a woman]], except when he's shouting.
16	* '''Gender Inverted''':
17	** Alice sees a dead body on her front porch and she does a strangely low-pitched roar.
18	** Alice is an alto usually, but when she screams, she sounds super high-pitched.
19	* '''Subverted''': Bob appears to be screaming, but it turned out that was Alice behind him.
20	* '''Double Subverted''': It seems like it was Bob screaming... then it seems like it was Alice... then it turns out to be Charlie.
21	* '''Parodied''': Bob screams like an anime girl when he meets a creepy otaku.
22	* '''Zig Zagged''':
23	** A group of people, both men and women, see the body. We hear a high-pitched scream and it's unclear who screamed.
24	** During Bob's scream the pitch changes repeatedly.
25	* '''Averted''':
26	** Bob still sounds like a man, even when screaming.
27	** Bob does not scream.
28	* '''Enforced''': Bob's voice actor (or physical actor, in the case of a live-action film) has this kind of scream as their natural scream. (Extra enforced if Bob's voice role is [[CrossDressingVoices played by a woman]].)
29	* '''Invoked''': Bob deliberately does a high-pitched scream to get Alice's attention.
30	* '''Exploited''': Bob's scream is so high-pitched that it hurts the ears of the murderer at his porch, giving Bob a window to either run away or fight back.
31	* '''Defied''': Bob avoids screaming, knowing that his scream is ridiculously high.
32	* '''Discussed''': "I have a confession to make, when I scream, I sound like a little girl."
33	* '''Conversed''': "Why do the men in films always scream like girls?"
34	* '''Implied''':
35	** Bob and a few others go into a haunted house carnival ride while the camera stays outside. Various sound effects including high-pitched screams are heard. Everyone else exiting is okay, but Bob emerges a little twitchy and insisting that the screams were all part of the show [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial and not him]].
36	** Charlie hears his roommates Alice and Bob cooking, a high-pitched scream, and a mighty thwack on the kitchen wall. Charlie runs to the rescue, to see Bob, RollingPinOfDoom in hand, twitching and agitated near a rat hole. Alice, cool as a cucumber, deadpans "You missed the rat."
37	* '''Deconstructed''': ???
38	* '''Reconstructed''': ???
39	* '''Played For Laughs''': CringeComedy ensues when the [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes arachnophobic]] Bob threatens to kill a spider, then screams like a woman, and the neighbours think he was threatening to kill a woman, leading to a very awkward conversation.
40	* '''Played For Drama''': The body is of a woman, so the police assume, due to the feminine-sounding scream, that it was the woman who screamed [[MistakenForMurderer as Bob killed her]]. He gets arrested.
41	* '''Played For Horror''':
42	** Whatever Bob saw that made him scream like a little girl means it must be so horrible that not even the men could stand up against it!
43	** Bob has just reached his RageBreakingPoint, and he screeches with a pretty high voice... One that belongs to a [[OurBansheesAreLouder banshee]], of course.
44	* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': ???
45	* '''Untwisted''': ???
