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.
