"It may interest you to know, fräulein, that the carrot and the cucumber are both very powerful sexuality symbols. They represent the masculine phallic member. And you are vishing either to chop it up or to pickle it!"
Sometimes also known as "Paging Dr. Freud..."
The truth is that
All Men Are Perverts and
All Women Are Lustful, but they are too ashamed of it. Thus, they express it in covert sexual symbolism and repressed desire everywhere, every time, with everybody. Not only is
everyone Jesus in purgatory —
everything is about sex.
When any kind of long thin shape is assumed to be a penis, or any hole that is oval is a vagina, you've got Freud Was Right in play. Obsession with sex is one of the core aspects of this trope, and is frequently
lampshaded.
The
Trope Namer is Dr.
Sigmund Freud, a Viennese doctor who proposed a theory of human behavior and development based on the idea that all our behaviours are ultimately expressions of instinctual, biological desires. Like, for instance, sex.
Some say Freud was right about
something else, too. Not to be confused with
All Psychology Is Freudian and
Everybody Has Lots of Sex. Frequently leads to
Double Entendre and
Accidental Innuendo.
