Basic Trope: Someone makes a speak-and-spell (or other similar toy for children) say inappropriate things.
- Straight: Alice uses her little brother Bob's toy, "Talking Tropey the Tiger", to spell out the word "shit".
- Exaggerated: Alice uses Talking Tropey the Tiger to release a massive Cluster F-Bomb.
- Downplayed: Alice uses Talking Tropey the Tiger to say something rude but not quite swearing, such as "idiot".
- Justified: Alice thinks it's funny for a children's toy to cuss.
- Inverted: Alice uses Talking Tropey the Tiger to say friendly compliments.
- Subverted:
- Alice begins to spell "S-H-I...", but she's trying to spell "ship".
- Alice was trying to spell the Japanese Mushroom.
- Double Subverted:
- And then she actually spells out a cuss word later.
- Unfortunately she doubled the "T" instead of the "I".
- Parodied: Swear words are the only words Talking Tropey the Tiger can say.
- Zig-Zagged: Alice uses Talking Tropey the Tiger to swear at some people, compliment others, and say neutral things to others.
- Averted: Alice never uses any children's toys for saying rude things.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "Shit." "What did Talking Tropey just say?"
- Invoked: Alice's friends Charlotte, Danny, and Evan see the toy lying around. Danny suggests that they see if they can make it swear.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied:
- Talking Tropey the Tiger has settings preventing anyone from using it to spell out swear words.
- Alice and her friends decide not to try to make the toy swear.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
