* '''Justified''':
** Bob drunkenly mistakes the lamp for a hat rack.
** It's a costume party, and Bob forgot his costume, so he grabs the lampshade and hopes nobody notices he didn't come in with it.
** Or the theme is furniture and home appliances and he is dressed as the lamp.[[note]]Extra points if he actually has a working bulb there[[/note]]
* '''Inverted''':
** Bob crouches on top of the lampshade while drunk.

* '''Subverted''': Bob drunkenly reaches for a lampshade but then puts it down.
* '''Double Subverted''': But as he stumbles home, he puts a traffic cone on his head.
* '''Parodied''':

** Bob wears the lampshade home. At work the next day, he is still wearing it.
** Everyone has lampshades on their head during the party.

* '''Discussed''': "I swear, he does this at every party."
* '''Conversed''': "Yeah. It's amusing and embarrassing at the same time."
* '''Deconstructed''': This behavior could cause embarrassment for Bob or others. Also, Bob could get hurt as he cannot see where he's going. Plus it stops being funny after some time.
* '''Reconstructed''': Bob doesn't get hurt and everyone is amused (not embarrassed) by Bob's behavior.
* '''Implied''':
** A house that's in a mess after a party has had all its lampshades removed.
** The morning after the party Bob gets a call telling him that he forgot his hat. Bob then wonders "so what was I wearing on my head?"
* '''Played for Laughs''': Bob's dialogue while wearing the lampshade has a humorous echoing effect.
