I found this image from Cracked and well,

I think it's hilarious, especially with the caption; "My weathercock is just ball deep in Indiana." What do you guys think?

Kinda inappropriate caption.

Please.

I'd rather not give the impression this is about gags involving penis like things.

I'm thinking this is one that's probably best left without a pic.

I'm pretty sure that bit in the South Park move with Saddam Hussein and Satan in bed fits this trope to a T.

Please tell me that's not fake. Oh, that's rich. [lol]

Yeah, I'm going to go with not-picturable here...

That picture is more Visual Innuendo than Gag Penis. Gag Penis is when an actual penis is used for comedy, not when a penis-like object is used.

And because this trope involves actual dicks, I think it's obviously unpictureable.

Maybe change the caption to

"Now imagine it's real."

Please.

Now we've got someone with a suggestive cactus...it's not any more this trope than the OP's suggestions.

The cactus isn't really an example, though. This trope is about actual penises being used for comedy. The cactus is an example of Visual Innuendo.

As funny as the cactus picture is, it isn't this trope, and it could cause people to assume that the trope is about penis like objects.

Does this even need a picture? I vote imageless.

Also voting imageless. There's no way to show the trope in a way that wouldn't be NSFW.

Visual Innuendo is the "Visual counterpart to Innocent Innuendo". The cactus image is clearly not accidental, and I think it's the closer we can get to get point of trope across without the picture being NSFW.

I vote to keep the cactus

A worksafe possibility would be one of the scenes from Borat where Borat is naked but has his penis covered with a censor box... that goes down to his knees. GIS isn't giving me anything, though.

How about this image of John Holmes? It's about as SFW as you can get with this trope.

I looked at the page and these are my thoughts:

The cactus picture and the weather picture are funny but they are symbolic large penises in a humorous context. Not too different from a picture of a zucchini and a couple of oranges. Which isn't the trope either

The John Holmes picture looks like a still from Oh Calcutta or other naked musical.

A penis is a primary sex characteristic and at least in the US, we kind of funny about showing primary sex characteristics.

Is there are a compelling reason for not making a crowner?

From the article:

Though some shows are able to use visual means of implying the same point

Am I the only one seeing this? I just don't get why we can't do the same thing as "some shows"? We could point that in the caption.

The cactus image is fine. Been up for years, safe for work, funny... nothing to discuss here, really.
