Basic Trope: Someone has a high-pitched voice shortly after being hit with a Groin Attack.

  • Straight: Bob is kicked in the crotch and starts having Helium Speech for a little while afterwards.
  • Exaggerated: After Bob is hit in the crotch, he permanently has a chipmunk voice.
  • Downplayed: Bob briefly screams in a high-pitched note, but after that doesn't have much ill effect.
  • Justified:
  • Inverted: Bob has a very low-pitched voice after getting hit in the crotch.
  • Subverted: "Bob" turns out to be Alice in disguise, whose voice is naturally high-pitched.
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Bob does not get hit in the crotch and/or his voice has no effect.
  • Enforced: "Maybe the viewers will Share the Male Pain after seeing Bob get hit there, but having his voice be high-pitched right afterwards could be funny!"
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: Bob tells Alice: "I don't know if I can hit these notes! Try punching me in the balls!"
  • Exploited: A Sweet Polly Oliver covers up their vocal disguise slipping after being startled by pretending they got hit in the groin.
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: "I mean, I'd be doing the same if I were Bob..."
  • Deconstructed: Bob's crotch is injured.
