Basic Trope: Being concussed might make you act silly.
- Straight: Bob suffers some kind of concussion and acts a little wonky, stumbling around the room as if he were drunk.
- Exaggerated: Bob gets permanent, debilitating brain damage from his concussion that leaves him acting strange for the rest of his life.
- Downplayed: Bob gets confused for a while after being hit on the head.
- Justified: The concussion messed with many parts of his brain.
- Inverted:
- Bob was acting most strange, but after being hit on the head, he suddenly snaps back into clarity.
- Bob drinks a large amount of alcohol, but rather than acting uninhibited and clumsy, he just gets a bad headache and feels tired.
- Subverted:
- Bob gets a concussion and acts strange, but he was really acting strange because of the drug put in his drink.
- Bob acts drunk after his concussion, but it's because he took a bunch of painkillers.
- Bob pretended he had a concussion to hide the fact that he was drinking.
- Double Subverted:
- It was the wrong drink: the culprit accidentally drugged someone other than Bob's drink, meaning he was acting weird from the concussion.
- After the painkillers wear off, he's still woozy.
- Bob has sobered up by now, and his symptoms stem from hitting his head on the bar.
- Parodied: Bob hits himself on the head to get high.
- Zig-Zagged: Bob gets a concussion and, for some time, alternates between being sensible and acting wonky.
- Averted:
- Bob never gets hit on the head.
- Bob immediately collapses after being hit.
- Enforced: "I kind of like the idea of Bob getting drunk, but this is a kids' show, and having him get Drunk on Milk is lame." "Well, what if a concussion makes him act drunk?"
- Lampshaded: "So did you really have a concussion, or did you do something crazy last night?"
- Invoked: Alice hits Bob on the head in order to make him more suggestible.
- Exploited: Alice easily tricks Bob while he's acting strange.
- Defied: ???
