Egg-Laying Male	comment	It is a well known fact that females of many species lay eggs. In more humorous (or simply more creatively liberal) works, it is expected that any animal of that species will have the ability to lay eggs. This often occurs even if the animal in question has been established to be, or otherwise evidently is, a male. Some works will treat this as perfectly normal, while other, more self-aware ones may hang a lampshade on it, but it will generally not be dwelled too much upon. This might sometimes be used as a simple way to get eggs involved in a plot, as their presence can lead to much humorous antics such as pranking or them being thrown. Other times it will be used as a relatively less disgusting version of a Bowel-Breaking Bricks gag. A form of Animal Gender-Bender. Sister Trope to Lactating Male. Compare Mister Seahorse for when a biologically male character is revealed to somehow be pregnant, which can come in many forms, including mammalian. If a presumed-male animal is discovered to be female after laying an egg, that's Your Tomcat Is Pregnant. If a creature laying eggs is unrealistic even besides sex, it's Whale Egg.

Egg-Laying Male / int_110709c9	comment	Subverted in The Casagrandes episode "Bad Cluck". Sergio, the family's parrot, appears to have laid an egg, but it turns out to be the doing of Alberto the ghost chicken, who then makes eggs come out of Carlos's pants and everyone else's mouths.

Egg-Laying Male / int_11b7db91	comment	In Adventure Time, the Ice King's penguin minion Gunter is usually referred to as a male. In the episode "The Chamber of Frozen Blades", Gunter lays an egg, which later on hatches into a floating pink kitten. Finn points out that this must mean Gunter is female, prompting the Ice King to casually check his genitalia before shrugging it off. An explanation of this could be that the Ice King has many penguin minions, and it is sometimes implied he just simply refers to the nearest one as "Gunter". Another explanation is that at least one "Gunter" is later on revealed to be an Eldritch Abomination known as Orgalorg, which of course does not have to adhere to logical biology.

Egg-Laying Male / int_1f72b18d	comment	The Tom and Jerry cartoon "Flirty Birdy" has Tom Cat pose as a female eagle in order to wrangle Jerry Mouse away from a muscular male eagle. Jerry escapes the clutches of both, and sends Tom off on a honeymoon with his new husband, the eagle. The cartoon concludes with Tom sitting on a nestful of eggs. Tom almost pitches an egg at his "mate," but reconsiders, being unwilling to sacrifice one of his offspring for a petty spite. It is unclear which of them laid the eggs, but realistically, neither should have.

Egg-Laying Male / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: Discussed in the episode "The Milhouse of Sand and Fog", in which the Simpsons try to deliberately infect the neighborhood kids with Maggie's chicken pox. Ralph thinks he turned into a chicken and laid an egg (either because he soiled himself or just because he's a Cloudcuckoolander), apparently not realizing that unless he also turned female and aged up, that wouldn't be possible. At the end of "Married to the Blob" , Milhouse (who's being visualized as a bird by a hallucinating Homer and Kumiko's father) lays an egg.

Egg-Laying Male / int_2bbcacd9	comment	Looney Tunes: In "Golden Yeggs", a gold egg is laid at Porky's farm, and he asks who did it. The one who did it is a goose with a male voice, but since he doesn't want to end up dead like in the story of the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg, he pins it on Daffy Duck instead. Mobster Rocky reads about Daffy's alleged accomplishment in the newspaper and declares "We're going into the egg business!" After beating up Porky, Rocky and his henchmen kidnap Daffy and order him to lay a gold egg. Daffy tries to stall for time to plot an escape, although Rocky is smarter at each turn and blocks his escape attempts. In the end, after a time limit expires on when he expected to have laid the egg, Daffy is shot at ... and the shock somehow makes him actually lay a gold egg. At the cartoon’s end, Daffy tries to leave but is stopped at gunpoint. Rocky escorts the duck to a warehouse where hundreds if not thousands of empty egg cartons are waiting; “Fill ‘em up!” Rocky snaps at Daffy ... to which Daffy faints dead away. Never in the cartoon is it questioned whether male birds should be expected to lay eggs, let alone gold ones. In the 2004 cartoon "Cock-a-Doodle-Duel", Foghorn Leghorn has competition from a genetically-engineered rooster whose attractiveness encourages all the hens to lay eggs. At one point Foghorn has a Stupid Sexy Flanders moment and lays an egg himself, which he immediately hides, saying "Nobody, I say, nobody must hear of this!" Foghorn Leghorn was the victim of a cruel practical joke by the Barnyard Dawg, by being led to believe he actually laid an egg in "Mother Was a Rooster". (The Dawg had stolen an ostrich egg from a local wildlife hatchery and placed it underneath Foggy's belly as he slept.) Dawg gets as much amusement from Foggy declaring he's a mother as he does by viciously (and darkly) insulting the ostrich chick.

He cooks it. In "Pyramid Scheme", Beast Boy does this while going into labor with the other Titans around him like he's a mother delivering a baby, making him learn An Aesop about "hard labor." He does it again in "Chickens in the Cradle" when he lays another egg, though this time his parenting style is Parental Neglect, letting the other Titans raise his son until he finds out the hard way his son's fallen in with some bad eggs, going Papa Wolf on them.

His main mechanic is the ability to place eggs on the battlefield that he will then respawn at if he dies, circumventing both the usual respawn timer and lowering the XP enemies earn from killing him. The game does acknowledge and mock both the fact that he somehow lays eggs and that he can spawn from his own eggs, but then again this is a game that's famous for its intro tutorial telling the game to 'not think too hard about it when asked why everyone was fighting, so it's not that out of keeping with the overall tone.

The episode "Perry Lays an Egg" deals with Phineas and Ferb incubating a bird egg under the belief that it's an egg Perry laid, which notably does not cause them to deviate from their assumption that Perry is male.

Egg-Laying Male / int_ae0356e0	comment	Courage the Cowardly Dog: It is hilariously demonstrated in the episode The Duck Brothers where one of the alien duck brother triplets constantly lays eggs much to the intense chagrin of his other brother who asserts that shouldn't be possible due to being males and constantly demands he cut it out. At the end of the episode, all three brothers lay eggs much to the dissenting brother's displeasure. In "The Uncommon Cold", in order to cure Muriel's cold, Courage has to imitate a chicken and he, somehow, laid an egg, despite being a male dog.

Egg-Laying Male / int_bc848d30	comment	Sponge Bob Square Pants: Potty the Parrot is a possible example. It is unclear what gender Potty is as Patchy the Pirate says "his" when referring to Potty in "Friend or Foe", but Potty also lays eggs in "Christmas Who?" and "The Sponge Who Could Fly", and is even referred to with female pronouns in two books. However, Vincent Waller said in 2017 when asked about Potty's gender that "It is only a puppet, with no telltale signs of gender."

When he dons this cosmetic, Heavy's head gets replaced by that of a robin. While in this form, he gains a few different voice lines, including many where he threatens his enemies with "laying eggs in [their] mouths".

Egg-Laying Male / int_eb095079	comment	A puzzle in Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse: The City That Dares Not Sleep involves getting a chicken to lay an egg. The chicken is male. Lampshade hung in that he points this out, but agrees to lay an egg for Sam anyway. He also lays an egg in Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space: What's New, Beelzebub?, to which Sam adds, "Don't ask me how." Max Imp is supposed to 'skitter inside the sinus cavities of humans to lay his terrible eggs'.

Egg-Laying Male / int_f3c3ca42	comment	The Tick: In one episode the kid Evil Genius Charles captures the Tick and turns him into a small, two-headed bird that can only speak "middle-school level French". The Tick lays an egg in this form before he's saved and turned back, and he remarks that it's still possible to "feel like a man" after having done so. His egg ends up getting broken to his initial horror, then he tastes its insides and discovers it's chocolate flavored.
