- Straight: In an episode of "The Adventures of Bob", the titular character goes to the dentist.
- Exaggerated:
- Everyone goes to the dentist in this episode.
- The entire series is about going to the dentist.
- Downplayed: The scene where Bob goes to the dentist is an important scene, but not the main focus of the episode.
- Justified:
- Well, people go to the dentist.
- Bob had some sort of dental issues that he needed resolved.
- Inverted: For whatever reason, the dentist goes to Bob's house.

- Double Subverted: He ends up going to the dentist's office sometime later on.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???

- A dentist's office is simply a good setting for the episode.
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Bob decides not to go to the dentist.
- Discussed: "Are you ready to see the dentist now?"
- Conversed: "I wonder why there's often an episode where someone goes to the dentist."
- Played for Laughs: Bob doesn't want to go to the dentist - Hilarity Ensues as Alice and Charlie try to take him there.
- Played for Drama: Bob ends up having to get a rather invasive dental procedure.
- Played for Horror: The dentist is a Depraved Dentist.
