Playing With / Joke of the Butt

Go To

Basic Trope: Butts are shown to be funny.

  • Straight: In an episode of "Tropers", Bob exposes his butt, causing his friends to laugh.
  • Exaggerated:
    • So many of the jokes in "Tropers" are about butts, to the point in which it might as well be called "Butt Jokes: The Show".
    • Bob causes the entire world to start laughing at his butt.
  • Downplayed: Bob bends over while doing something, and his friends find it mildly funny.
  • Justified: Bob's friends are fairly immature.
  • Inverted:
    • Bob exposes his butt and gets told, "Dude, Not Funny!"
    • Jokes are made about boobs instead.
  • Subverted:
    • Although it seems like they're laughing because he exposed his butt, Bob's friends are actually laughing about a Funny Background Event or something funny they remembered.
    • Someone shows their butt and it seems like it's about to be played for humor, but it actually gets played in a sexual way instead.
  • Double Subverted:
    • And then they notice Bob showing them his butt and begin laughing.
    • Even though the person showing their butt was sexualized, it's still more for adult humor than outright fanservice.
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: There are no butt jokes.
  • Enforced: "Tropers" already has a lot of Toilet Humor, after all.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Bob refuses to show anyone his butt.
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: "I wonder why some shows have so many jokes about butts."
  • Implied: What actually happened was offscreen, but someone said that Bob showed his butt earlier and it was hilarious.
  • Played for Laughs: How this trope is usually played.
