6	''Tales of the Code: Wedlocked'' is a 2011 ShortFilm set in the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' universe. More specifically, it is a {{prequel}} of sorts to ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl The Curse of the Black Pearl]]'', detailing some things that happened before the film and had consequences on it.
7
8	On Shipwreck Island, prostitutes Scarlett (Lauren Maher) and Giselle (Vanessa Branch) find out they have been duped, as the pirate Jack Sparrow (Creator/JohnnyDepp) separately promised them both marriage but is nowhere to be seen. Instead, they are both put on auction before a crowd of horny pirates.
9	----
10	!!''Tales of the Code: Wedlocked'' provides examples of:
11
12	* AllMenArePerverts: The crowd of pirates attending the auction with the two women as the "properties" to be sold are practically drooling over them.
13	* {{Auction}}: Scarlett and Giselle are put on auction for the buyer to do whatever he wants with them. That scene is straight out of the ''Ride/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' Disneyland ride.
14	* BlackComedy: The short film is about women who are put on auction to be sold as {{sex slave}}s and someone who loses his tongue, and it still bears the classic ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' humorous tone (which is often pretty dark anyway).
15	* ColonCancer: "Pirates of the Caribbean: Tales of the Code: Wedlocked"
16	* TheDreaded: [[Music/KeithRichards Captain Teague]] doesn't show up, but once the Pirate Code is shot, it's pretty clear he'll want to kill those who did it, as the MassOhCrap shows. You ''don't'' mess with the Code, as Teague demonstrated in ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]''.
17	* {{Homage}}: The auction scene is a deliberate homage to the auction happening in the original Ride/DisneyThemeParks ''Ride/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' ride.
18	* MassOhCrap: The pirate named Mungard accidentally shoots at the Pirate Code. Cue the OhCrap from ''everyone'' in the auction room.
19	-->'''Unnamed pirate:''' Captain Teague will have his head!
20	* {{Prequel}}: The short is set a few days before Jack Sparrow reached Port Royal in ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'', and details a few things about it:
21	** The exact reason why Scarlett and Giselle slapped Jack Sparrow on the isle of Tortuga.
22	** The reason why Sparrow's boat is on the verge of sinking when he reaches Port Royal.
23	** How Cotton lost his tongue.
24	* {{Revenge}}: Scarlett pulls out some nails in Jack Sparrow's small vessel for duping her, which makes it take on water slowly once Jack sets sail to Port Royal.
25	* RunawayBride: {{Gender flip}}ped. Jack Sparrow separately told Scarlett ''and'' Giselle that he would marry them. Both women end up duped and put on auction to become {{Sex Slave}}s, and Jack is nowhere to be found.
26	* StockFootage: Jack Sparrow appears in the short through a reused footage from ''Curse of the Black Pearl'', showing the near-sinking state of his little boat as a consequence of the RunawayBride scheme he pulled on Scarlett and Giselle.
27	* TongueTrauma: The short explains how Cotton lost his tongue: Mungard swears he will cut the tongue of anyone who says a word about him shooting the Pirate Code. Cotton apparently didn't hold his tongue...
28	* TruerToTheText: In comparison to the sequels that rarely reference the ride, this short is pretty much a WholePlotReference to the auction scene.
29	* VerbedTitle: The subtitle, as a reference to the weddings for the [[RunawayBride runaway groom]].
