Playing With / Wolf Whistle

Go To

Basic trope: Alice walks down through a group of men, and Bob lets out a wolf whistle.

  • Straight: Alice is on the catwalk, does a little twirl, and Bob lets out a wolf whistle.
  • Exaggerated: Every men watching does it in unison.
  • Downplayed: Bob does it in conversation with another man about Alice.
  • Justified: Bob is a fan of Ted Avery's cartoons, and it's the only thing he can think of... when Alice is interrogating him over why he's such a rude bloke.
  • Inverted: Bob walks through a crowd of women, and Alice lets out a wolf whistle.
  • Parodied:
    • Bob transforms into a wolf, does the whistle, and then becomes a human again.
    • Bob uses a physical whistle.
  • Averted: Alice is on the catwalk, but none of the men are Distracted by the Sexy enough to do the whistle.
  • Zigzagged: Bob starts to do it, but realises he's the only one doing it, so shuts up. But then he sees another side of Ms. Fanservice, and is sufficiently impressed. Rinse and repeat.
  • Lampshaded: Bob blows a whistle when he's impressed.
  • Defied: Bob knows wolf-whistling isn't a thing in The New 20s, so decides not to.
