Playing With / Stomach of Holding

Go To

  • Basic Trope: A character holds things in their stomach.
  • Straight: Alice carries items in her stomach. Even things that couldn't possibly fit in it.
  • Exaggerated:
    • Alice keeps absolutely everything in her stomach.
    • Everyone in the setting does this.
  • Lampshaded: "Hey Alice, how come you always keep things in your stomach? And how much can you fit in there? And you never get any bigger, either."
  • Discussed:
    Charlie: "Hey Bob, you know your wife Alice keeps things in her stomach?"
    Bob: "Yup, that's why I love her."
    Charlie: "Okaaay."
  • Inverted:
  • Justified: Alice is actually a Human Alien whose stomach is a Pocket Dimension. Or at the very least, is Bigger on the Inside.
  • Enforced: "We wanted a comical way for Alice to store things, and storing them in her stomach was the only family friendly thing we could think of."
  • Zig-Zagged: Alice only keeps certain things in her stomach, other things she carries in her purse.
  • Exploited:
  • Defied: Bob suggests Alice swallow a few things and she replies "Are you crazy? I'm not swallowing this stuff, gross!"
