"Balls" Gag | comment |
The word "ball" has many definitions, including: A spherical object for amusement or athletics The part of the foot just behind the toes A formal function that often involves dance in a titular ballroom. An antiquated expression of fun (i.e. "having a ball") Having guts (i.e. "having balls", "brass balls"), based on the below meaning. A statement that something is nonsense (again, based on the meaning below). To do something with great abandon or to put all your effort into it (i.e. "going balls out") But of course, there's also... A slang term for a specific portion of the male anatomy in the groin region. As such, the word "balls", along with other slang terms for the testicles (such as "nuts", "family jewels", etc.), can be used for innuendo — often resulting in a case of That Came Out Wrong if the balls being referenced are covered by any of the other definitions above. Especially if the size of said balls are in play too. Not to be confused with actual ball gags, or the notion of said balls being comprised of hard metals. See also Groin Attack. |

In the later seasons of Arrow, Rene makes repeated references to Curtis's T-Spheres as "his balls", only for Curtis to try to correct him. Early on, probably accidental, but done on purpose by season 6. | |

Multiple examples from Beavis and Butt-Head: A particular incidence of note is when the pair hit on the idea of finding and selling golfballs and Butt-Head declares "We need to get more balls", prompting Beavis to laugh. One episode has them discover someone left a bank card in the ATM and they use it to steal money from the account. We later see an interview with the card's rightful owner, a basketball player, who says he can't figure out how the two knew his password was "balls" because he's a ball player. |

In Discworld, the Dances and Balls meaning sets up one of these. Lord Vetinari is extremely serious and ascetic, not given to the sort of partying that characterized his predecessors. Hence "Lord Vetinari seldom had balls. There was a popular song about it, in fact." Another variation shows up in The Truth: |

In The Sexy Brutale, Trinity does this twice at the start of the afternoon, which is appropriate since she was trying to play the roulette wheel. First, she asks the staff member "Are you going to drop it in or are you going to fondle that ball all day?" After he drops it and the ball rolls away, she tells Clay "Someone really dropped the ball on that one." | |

One episode of Archer has the title character unable to resist adding on the word "balls" whenever the character Benoit's name is mentioned (it's a pun on ben-wa balls, to which the name "Benoit" is identically pronounced), much to the latter's annoyance. This is reversed to hilarious effect after Benoit is revealed to be the Villain of the Week and Archer has to chase him down: | |

There's a more technical variation in Mass Effect 2 where the quarian admiral Zaal'Koris Vas Qwib-Qwib (quarian names are structured like so: [Personal Name] vas [Ship] nar [Birth Ship]) laments his ship's name and comments that he's thought of requesting a transfer to a ship with a more respectable name, like "Defrahnz" or "Iktomy". 'Vas Deferens' is the part of the male anatomy that connects the testicles to the urethra, and a vasectomy is a procedure in which the vas deferens is cut. | |

The iconic obstacle of the TV show Wipeout and its regional variations - especially the UK version, Total Wipeout - are the "Big Balls", a series of four, red, inflated balls that contestants must bounce across. Given their prominence, the co-hosts are aware of the potential for ball-related wordplay whenever the Big Balls are brought up, or, well, any other time a round on the show involves balls. Lampshaded when John remarks during a game with dodgeballs, "Oh, you and your ball gags." | |

A not-inappropriate variant happens in Steven Universe: Pearl says that Pink Diamond used to throw balls (as in fancy parties) for the other Gems in Homeworld, but Steven misinterprets her word choice and assumes she meant that Pink Diamond was a talented juggler — though Pearl quickly confirms that that part is also true. | |

The Gray Man (2022). Lloyd Hansen captures Sierra Six and demands to know where the MacGuffin is. Six holds up a grenade pin and asks if this is it. As the grenade hits the floor between them, Hansen says in a rather admiring fashion, "Balls!" before diving out the window. Given the amount of homoerotic cracks that Hansen makes during the film, it's definitely this trope (that the grenade is question is a literal ball of steel doesn't hurt either). | |

Pokémon: In the Japanese versions, the "Nugget" item (one of several objects in the franchise whose only real purpose is to sell for a high price) is known as "Kin no Tama", literally "golden ball"—which is Japanese slang for the testicles. The thought of a stranger giving a 10 year old their "golden balls" becomes quite hilarious. Inverted in French, when "Se faire des couilles en or" ("to make oneself golden cojones") means getting filthy rich in a short time. |

Saturday Night Live had a "Delicious Dish" sketch (a parody of stereotypically "dull" public radio shows) in which Pete Schweddy (Alec Baldwin) promoted his bakery's holiday foodstuff, "Schweddy Balls". You can even get them in a "Schweddy Ball Sack". Besides the innuendo, the humor of the sketch came from the fact that the hosts (who speak in a very deadpan monotone at all times) did not break character at all. Baldwin later returned to do a follow-up about his "Schweddy Weiner", while a one-off revival of the sketch in 2010 did a Spear Counterpart with Betty White as Florence Dusty with her "Dusty Muffins". |

AC/DC's song "Big Balls" uses double entendres by using ballroom and costume parties to obviously refer to Bon Scott's testicles. | |

Duke Nukem is known for, among other things, bragging that "I've got Balls of Steel!" Which, thanks to pranks involving a soundboard of Duke quotes, including one memorable incident where "BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS BALLS" cropped up repeatedly, has become a staple of Duke-related humor. It doesn't help that Duke's voice actor thinks it's hilarious. It also became the name of a pinball game by the same creator. | |

The Thief and the Cobbler has fun with its MacGuffin, a set of golden balls that are supposed to adorn the highest minaret in the city, but are stolen by the Thief. There's a shot of them under the Thief's robe, and when the Evil Vizier steals them back from the Thief and is attempting to use them in his own plot, he says "Now that I have the balls, I'll go see the King." | |

Ballz had plenty of innuendo to do with their title, in the tagline ("To be the champion, you gotta have Ballz!"), advertisements ("Tell Santa you want to have Ballz for Christmas"), manual, and even the suggestive opening theme. | |

In Yaiba, there's an arc dedicated to a quest for the "Legendary Orbs" (And before you ask, they're not orange). The heroes are mugged by the revived monk Benkei who shouts "If you want to proceed, give me your balls!!" Cue to embarassed looks and Sayaka says "Oh No!! I don't have balls!!". Not amused, Benkei corrects them. | |

In The Nutcracker in 3D, a film featuring Nazi and Holocaust imagery, there's still time for Gielgud to cry out in pain, "my bananas!" after the Rat King falls unconscious and somehow hits his head into Gielgud's... well, like he said, his "bananas". | |
