Line #31 PlayingWith/BeeBeeGun


1	'''Basic Trope''': Weaponized bees.
2	* '''Straight''':
3	** Bob has a gun that shoots deadly bees.
4	** Bob has swarms of bees following him everywhere and attacking his enemies at his command.
5	* '''Exaggerated''':
6	** Bob's bee-shooting gun is ''also'' made of bees.
7	** Alternatively, it's a [[{{BFG}} "Bee F.G.]]"
8	* '''Downplayed''': Bob tricks his enemy into standing under a wasps' nest.
9	* '''Justified''':
10	** Bob comes from a planet where the local intelligent humanoids developed a connection with bees similar to what we humans made with dogs.
11	* '''Inverted''':
12	** Bees with guns.
13	** A weapon that kills only bees.
14	** A gun that sucks bees up instead of shooting them out.
15	** Bees that use humans as weapons, HumongousMecha style
16	** A weapon that looks like a bee.
17	* '''Subverted''': The bees die while still inside the weapon.
18	* '''Double Subverted''':
19	** But a few make it out alive.
20	** They are shot with the stinger facing outside the barrel.
21	* '''Parodied''':
22	** Bob loudly announces the horrible devastating power of his bee-gun, then points it at his enemy and presses the trigger dramatically. Dramatic silence, everyone freezes in their tracks... A few seconds pass... and then a few bees fly out lazily out of the barrel and buzz far away in random directions.
23	** [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons ...Or the dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark they shoot bees at you?]]
24	** Bob tries to grab a bee to use it as a weapon, only to get his hand stung in the process.
25	* '''Zig Zagged''': The bee gun is quite nasty and effective until Bob starts to need a precision weapon. He switches to a more normal weapon... until he adds an underslung "sting this thing!" pheremone projector to the gun...
26	* '''Averted''': Bob may use a costume and equipment with a bee motif, but doesn't actually use bees as weapons.
27	* '''Enforced''': "If Bob the Beemaster doesn't have his Bee Bee Gun in TheMovie, then his fans are going to pitch a fit."
28	* '''Lampshaded''': "So, he's using bees as weapons? Bee-autiful, if a little bee-zarre!"
29	* '''Invoked''': A gun that fires mini attack drones is described as firing "tiny robot bees."
30	* '''Exploited''': Bob's enemies are all allergic to bee stings.
31	* '''Defied''':
32	** Bob's enemies carry incredibly effective bee repellents/poisons.
33	** Bob has an innate ability to control bees, but refuses as he has a phobia.
34	* '''Discussed''': [[ComicBook/AmazonsAttack "Bees. My God."]]
35	* '''Conversed''': "Man, it would bee cool if I had a bee weapon like the hero of that show."
36	* '''Deconstructed''':
37	** Bob's years of work on killer bees left him constantly on the verge of death (with only strong medication keeping him up) due to all the attacks by the bees.
38	** Bob's bees always attack ''everyone'' in the area, including civilians, Bob's allies, and Bob.
39	* '''Reconstructed''':
40	** Bob's years of work on killer bees left him understanding them better and educating his friends how to treat them with caution.
41	** Yes, Bob's bees attack everyone, but he's an OmnicidalManiac.
