* '''Straight''': Alex and Bob are trapped on a desert island with no food. The hungry Bob sees Alex as a juicy steak.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob sees the entire island and everything on it as one big LevelAte. Alex is a steak, the sand is sugar, the water is chocolate milk, all the trees are sausages with bacon leaves, and so on.
* '''Downplayed''': Bob smells steak when he's starving, and it's coming from Alex's direction.
* '''Justified''': Bob's hungry mind is playing tricks on him.
* '''Inverted''': Bob, an anthropomorphic (and very hungry) steak, sees his buddy Alex, a banana, as a human.
* '''Subverted''': Bob sees Alex turn into a steak - that's because Alex is a shapeshifter who's using his powers to screw with Bob.
* '''Double Subverted''': But Alex isn't able to turn into food items...
* '''Parodied''':
** [[GenderBlenderName Alex is an attractive woman]], and it's treated as a form of innuendo.

** Alex is already AnthropomorphicFood and Bob merely hallucinates him as a kind of food that's different from the kind of food he already is.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob sees Alex, a shapeshifter, turn into a steak. However, Alex isn't able to turn into food items... except for steak.
* '''Averted''': Bob is hungry, and before he could even hallucinate, [[GrowlingGut his stomach rumbles]] and he passes out, but that's about it.
* '''Enforced''': "We gotta have Bob hallucinate Alex as a steak so the audience will know how hungry and desperate he's become because of his starvation."
* '''Lampshaded''': "The talking steak has a good point. I shouldn't try to eat him."
* '''Invoked''': Alex won't stop talking about the juicy steaks he wants to grill that weekend.
* '''Exploited''': Someone is trying to get Bob and Alex to kill each other, so he's using their starvation against them.
* '''Defied''': "I'm not a steak, damn it. Focus!"
* '''Discussed''': "I hope we don't end up starving to the point that we start hallucinating each other as food."
* '''Conversed''': "Why does Bob see Alex as a steak? A hallucination like that would never happen in RealLife!"
