Basic Trope: A magazine makes a provocative cover, despite sex not being the subject of the featured article it presents.

  • Straight: The cover of Trope Magazine is of Alice in a croptop, a really short skirt, and she winks at the camera.
  • Exaggerated: Trope Magazine cover shows Alice nude in a scandalous position.
  • Downplayed: Trope Magazine cover has Alice dressed normally, but in a seductive pose.
  • Justified:
  • Inverted: Porn Magazine, which always shows scantily clad women naked and in various positions (sometimes even actually having sex) within its articles, has an issue with a cover that shows Alice more covered than a nun.
  • Subverted: Somehow, Alice seems to be barely dressed, but it's only an optical illusion.
  • Double Subverted: ... which was made above the real cover, where she is barely dressed.
  • Parodied: Trope Magazine shows the fat and ugly Bob naked and in a seductive pose.
  • Averted: Alice appears normal on the cover.
  • Defied: Alice appears normally, but denying a revealing outfit an unseen employee presents her.
  • Zig-Zagged: Trope Magazine shows Alice wearing a croptop and a skinny short despite the magazine not being used to that. However, the featured article seems to openly explain talks about how Fanservice makes people watch a show more easily. When readers come to the article, they see another picture of Alice in a bikini, but the article itself is unclear about its subject.
  • Enforced: Trope Magazine always makes provocative covers for special events, as it makes the magazine stand out from the competition.
  • Lampshaded: Trope Magazine actually made an article about how people tend to watch a show (or buy a magazine) if a sexy woman is on the cover.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: Alice writes articles that are considered great by her peers, but that readers always skip because they mention obscure domains, so she makes a sexy cover to boost her audience.
  • Played for Laughs:
  • Played for Drama:
  • Played for Horror:
  • Implied: ???
  • Unparodied: ???
  • Untwisted: ???
  • Deconstructed: ???
