When a phrase which is usually used as a metaphor is shown literally. This can be because The Ditz didn't understand the statement, or can just be a simple gag. This kind of humor is considered dated and a bit old fashioned, so most audience won't do more than smirk — at least when adults are involved (children tend to be more easily amused). Occasionally, this action can be performed literally without the verbal set up. It is a frequent pitfall when dealing with a Literal Genie. Common versions include requests to "give me a hand" being met with disembodied hands and quotes of Marc Antony "lend me your ears" — well, use your imagination. These can be quite a nightmare for translators: purely textual puns can be rewritten into something else, but when the pun has a visual component (which usually cannot be changed), it becomes much harder to come up with something that makes sense. B-Roll Rebus is when news and documentaries do this with Stock Footage. Compare Stealth Pun, which is sort of like a Visual Pun without the visuals; of course, sometimes a Visual Pun can be a stealth pun, but you know, they're stealthy about it. A Super-Trope to Metaphoric Metamorphosis (where road signs are literal, not figurative, depictions of what's up ahead) and Rules of the Road (same). Often a Sister Trope of Literal Metaphor. When creatures, whether individuals or entire species, are designed as living visual puns, see Pun-Based Creature. |

Danny Gonzalez: One Vine has the mail-man deliver a "letter", as in a paper letter "A", complete with wacky music to emphasize the point. Immediately subverted, as the "A" is an actual letter — a "Dear John" Letter, to be exact. "Your destination is ahead on the right." Cue Danny looking out the window to see a disembodied head on the curb. In being told that he, the owner of a "White Explorer", left his lights on...he goes out and yells at a literal Caucasian explorer, holding a light. |

Linus Tech Tips: In "The BEST Keyboards Under $75!", Linus sets down the keyboard boxes and says "Now let's see how they fall into place", then knocks them down like dominoes. In "This GPU SLIDES into this Case!", Linus tests cooling configurations of a graphics card in a small case. The testing with and without a plastic shroud shroud respectively show a green checkmark and a red X over the profile picture of Polish-Canadian esports gamer Michael Grzesiek, better known as Shroud. |

Bleach: Sui-Feng's Bankai consists of an oversized missile launcher strapped to her arm. One might wonder how a ballistic missile is the next step from a finger blade that can kill in two hits (beyond "a missile kills in one hit"), until one remembers that Sui-Feng's Zanpakuto is named Suzumebachi, which is Japanese for "hornet", and realizes that her Bankai is a "stinger missile". | |

DEATH BATTLE!: In the battle between Wario and King Dedede, when Wario's and Dedede's Paper-Thin Disguises (Wario-Man and Masked Dedede respectively) fall apart, a Waddle Dee and Goomba discuss it, before doing a jaw drop before exploding. In that sense, they quite literally had their minds blown. This happens twice at the same time at the end of Deadpool vs. The Mask, where after reducing Deadpool to a head, The Mask pulls out a comically large nuke named "Fat Lady" to finish him off with. And again in Venom vs. Crona, where Venom, hiding in the rafters of the church they're fighting in, grabs Crona's ankle with his Overly-Long Tongue and subjects them to Metronomic Man Mashing. In other words, he's giving them a literal tongue-lashing. |

Channel Awesome: The Nostalgia Critic once is reminded to bring up the suicide of The Neverending Story 2's lead actor by someone who he's been ignoring for a while, who's been in the room for a while, and happens to be an elephant. An elephant in the room, if you will. The Nostalgia Chick's Showgirls review has a running gag of censoring the movie's frequent breast shots with, well, boobies. In the Crisis Crossover storyline Kickassia, the Critic assures his "army" that "I got you all a hotel room." Cut to the large group of people — in A hotel room. In the Nostalgia Chick's Labyrinth review, to point out a Running Gag (namely, Hoggle's name being pronounced incorrectly), the word "Gag" on legs runs across the screen. In the review of The Room (2003), a picture of a donkey's face is used to censor a shot of... you guessed it, an ass. In Spoony and Linkara's review of the Warrior #1 comic, one scene shows them sitting in their hotel room with all of the on-screen colors inverted, leading to this exchange: |

Dororo: When Hyakkimaru's fake hand falls off after he grows a real one, he decides to bury it to show the limb respect, to which Dororo says, "hey, it's a hand-grave!"

In a more noticeable example, Riko "Erwin" Matsumoto from Team Hippo has her hair constantly sticking out from beneath her hat in a manner reminiscent of fox ears, a reference to her namesake's nickname The Desert Fox. Katyusha of the Pravda team travels to meet the leader of the ÅŒarai team in a BM-13 "Katyusha". |

Quite frequent in the Asteroid in Love manga (but not in the anime), usually due to Mira misunderstanding a new scientific term. In the fifth chapter, Ao mentions the asteroid Vesta. Mira somewhat immediately switched to a "Western-style" school uniform with a vest (Hoshizaki uses Sailor Fuku), and asks whether Ao means a vest. In the eighteenth chapter, Mikage raises the term "boring" (as in drilling). Mira immediately pretends to be bowling. Japanese approximates "bowling" in a way that's identical to "boring". |

A Diplomatic Visit: Used by Discord a few times in the sequel Diplomat at Large. In chapter 6, he pops in and claims "My ears are burning" (because he was being talked about). They're literally on fire. Twice in chapter 7. First, when he says he needs to cause more chaos to get back in shape, he's enclosed in a dodecahedron-shaped bubble. Second, when he tells Luna that "The timing is key", his head morphs into an old-style skeleton key. |

Franny K. Stein: Attack of the 50-Ft. Cupid has a chapter where Franny is let down by her family and friends showing little interest in her inventions. She attempts to talk to a friend from school named Percy over the phone about a machine she made that can bring pictures to life, but Percy doesn't pay attention and only babbles about how much he likes corn chips. An illustration shows Franny glaring and hanging up the phone while imagining that Percy has a safety pin for a head, making him a literal pinhead. | |

Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman (1942): Issue 2 proudly declares itself the fall issue, with the cover colors in oranges, yellows and blacks which are colors associated with the fall and depicts Diana tipping Mars off a wall, with him falling. Wonder Woman (Rebirth): Phobos and Demios are minor war gods and the children of Ares who often manifest as monstrous dogs with skeletal heads or a pair of doberman pinschers. They're war gods pretending to be war dogs. |

Yotsuba&! does it from time to time, but whether she truly doesn't understand or is making a joke is up in the air: In one, she draws a tsukutsukuboshi as a little guy wearing a cap (because in Japanese, "boshi" is a homonym for "cap"). When Miura identifies the groupings of stars as "seiza", Yotsuba kneels, because it's a homonym for both "constellation" and "kneeling position". In one translation the joke becomes about how the names of constellations sit well. |

In Episode 12 of Interviews with Monster Girls, Takahashi sees a photo of Hikari at night, noticing that her eyes flash like animals' ones, and explains her why they do this. Several animals have a membrane in the back of their eyes that reflects back the light, and this is shown with an animation of super-deformed smiling Hikari faces bouncing against said membrane. Hikari means "light" in Japanese. | |

SCP Foundation: The object SCP-1091-RU contained by Russian branch. It's an anomaly which visualises idioms said within it. When, during a test, an American doctor said "It's raining cats and dogs", actual cats and dogs started falling from the sky. SCP-586 is a green pipe that causes anyone writing about it to make at least one spelling mistake per sentence (including the Foundation's own database entry about it). The page image, instead of being a green pipe, is a green Pope. |

Discworld: Guards! Guards!: When the Watch are arresting a villain, Vimes tells Carrot to "throw the book at him". Carrot, who doesn't understand metaphor, lobs The Laws and Ordinances of Ankh-Morpork in the villain's direction, causing the villain to lose his balance and fall five stories to his death. Feet of Clay: Vimes is introduced to the tradition of canting arms mentioned under the Real Life section. The Heralds, in creating arms and mottos for newly-rich tradesman, use boxing gloves for a man named Sock and so on, which Vimes is duly unimpressed by. However, one coat-of-arms proves to be a confession Hidden in Plain Sight: Arthur Carry the candlemaker is given a traditional lampe au poisson, and his family motto "Art Brought Forth the Candle" is Ars Enixa Et Candldeabrum... though in true Discworld fashion, the "Eureka!" Moment doesn't hit Vimes until after he's worked that out already, and it only serves to further enrage him as he's apprehending the perpetrators. Pyramids: Whenever Pteppic tries to read hieroglyphs he reads them out literally (i.e. reading an ancient king's name as "thin eagle, eye, wiggly line, man with stick, bird sitting down, wiggly line"). |

Shirokuma Cafe, at least the anime version, combines visual puns and Chain of Corrections into a Once per Episode gag. Polar Bear will misunderstand a word another character says, then rapidly appear in different costumes and scenery that suggest similar-sounding words. The extreme reliance on the Japanese language for these jokes probably means the series will never be dubbed. | |

The Order of the Stick: From one of the filler strips: "Comic is running late." "The Polearm Shop" has a snake slither in in the last two panels. The entire strip is an homage to Monty Python's Flying Circus. The Cliffport Police Department is trying to fight off Pompey's summoned centipedes, so they send in the SWAT team... who happens to be heavily armored officers with flyswatters. SWAT team, indeed... Because Gnomes have a racial ability to speak with burrowing animals, Fox News is an actual fox. After Redcloak lampshades the stupidity of the Order of the Scribble having to be ignorant about the protection of each other's gates due to their distrust of each others, a hobgoblin presents a lampshade to him. Lien claims it's ridiculous that "a superhero would just show up on a random island in the middle of nowhere", and Elan insists that it's happened before. A cutaway panel shows Cyclops, with a flock of sheep, meeting some sailors getting off a boat... This strip (caution; it is full of spoilers) has Elan combining this with a non-visual pun: in response to the question "Are you enjoying the parade?" he states "I'm on the fence" while fencing with Tarquin and also literally standing on a fence. "Passive Voice": Even D&D spell names can be used for this gag. When Durkon cast a hold person spell on Tarquin, the latter just throws off the effect and responds "OK." as he's grabbing the dwarf by the beard for a Human Hammer-Throw. In the "Beach Party" wallpaper, you can see a "horseshoe crab"... i.e. a actual horseshoe with crab legs and pincers. A plasma-screen television in Hell leaks blood when smashed. |

In Rusty and Co.: When Gelatinous Cube seizes the Belt of Genre Changing, the result in the next panel is naturally... Cubism. Schmetts, the alcoholic fairy, is found in a bottle, making her a "bottle fairy". She's also a green fairy. Level 6 ends in a cliffhanger... with Rusty catching Madeline falling down as he's climbing a cliff. In Level 8, the "8-bit 8-ball" is quickly identified as an artifact. What does it do? Artifacting, Dirk muses. Indeed, the comic's picture all around is getting low-resolution, as in an 8-bit picture. Which in computer parlance is called... artifacting. Level 9: The artifact Rusty, Madeline, and Y.T. are sent to retrieve is a device that can cast magic, providing its own verbal components so long as the correct words are typed into it. It's a Speak & Spell. Also in Level 9, Y.T. is pursued by zombies and thinking that she'd need someone good at fighting undead, at healing her, and willing to help. Then she bristles at the idea that she's "putting paladins on a pedestal"... right next to a fountain where Madeline, turned to stone, had been put on a pedestal. In Level 10, the instructions to find the Black Market end with "Now take a long walk off a short pier." This is not a diss, that's exactly what is needed to do. And right afterward, as a swordfish-man questions her, Stabs warns him to not get too nosy... because his pointy bill almost took out an eye. |

One Shugo Chara Chan! comic has the Guardian Characters wondering what the prince of flowers ("hana" in Japanese) looks like, and one of the princes is a nose (Also "hana" in Japanese). Ran says "That's not the right "hana" we're talking about!" | |

The opening of Haruhi Suzumiya has Yuki ("snow") standing in the middle of the snow (though for the record, Yuki is actually written as "hope"). The light novels explain that it had been snowing when Yuki was given permission to have her own name, although this is kinda vague as it's described in really vague poetic symbolic odd prose written by Yuki during the short story. | |

Archie tells Moose to make Midge jealous by sending her a picture of him surrounded by chicks. When Midge sees the picture, it's Moose surrounded by...baby chicks. When his car was elected for carpool to take to the beach, Moose turns his car into a pool (by filling it up with water). |

It allows him to create lethal Razor Floss which can cleave through most materials, do Building Swing using the clouds, and more. He also controls a massive Underworld empire, with moles in the Marine and involved in various weapons trafficking while maintaining a public persona of a benevolent king of Dressrosa. He's the man pulling the strings, figuratively and literally. There's a spider in the Thriller Bark arc. It had the head of a monkey and a verbal tick of 'Monkey.' Does this pun even make sense without knowledge of English? |

Cut to an image of the Action 52 cartridge laying a Nerd-shaped turd.

Magic: The Gathering: The symbol for Phyrexia sets greatly resembles the Greek letter Phi. As in, Phi-rexian. Look at the illustration for Bronze Calendar. It's a bronze colander. The Revised Edition game manual included Richard Garfield's account of the creation of the game. He mentions that the pre-release version used placeholder art for the cards, including a few of these. For example, "Heal" was a photograph of someone's foot, while "Power Sink" showed Calvin sitting in a toilet, "because what is a toilet except a power sink?" Foresee depicts a four-eyed woman. |

In Cinders and Ashes: the Chronicles of Kamen Rider Dante, a major theme is letting your emotions out, as many of the Kamen Riders in the fanfic are tied to an emotion that fuel their Elemental Powers. All of Dante's armors have pipes or vents to air out flames, with his core emotion being anger. The one exception to this is his Yellowstone Mount which has none and just lets the heat accumulate, which consequentially causes Dante's user to get more and more angry. In other words: Dante's armor vents out his own grief save for one that just bottles it up. | |

Feet of Clay: Vimes is introduced to the tradition of canting arms mentioned under the Real Life section. The Heralds, in creating arms and mottos for newly-rich tradesman, use boxing gloves for a man named Sock and so on, which Vimes is duly unimpressed by. However, one coat-of-arms proves to be a confession Hidden in Plain Sight: Arthur Carry the candlemaker is given a traditional lampe au poisson, and his family motto "Art Brought Forth the Candle" is Ars Enixa Et Candldeabrum... though in true Discworld fashion, the "Eureka!" Moment doesn't hit Vimes until after he's worked that out already, and it only serves to further enrage him as he's apprehending the perpetrators. | |

Map Men: Jay's costume of Arno Peters has him holding a giant inflatable penis, or a peter as it's known in some slangs. In "How many continents are there?", Jay mentions that a continent can be defined by its culture, while holding a cup of yogurt (a dairy product derived from fermenting milk with bacteria cultures). The longitude problem episode: Admiral Sir Cloudesly Shovell is depicted as a shovel with googly eyes. The disclaimer text at the bottom helpfully points out that Shovell didn't actually look like that in real life. It's mentioned that Nevil Maskelyne, who had become the new head of the Board of Longitude by the time John Harrison finished his H4 chronometer, decided that the clock needed to be put through several more tests. This was accompanied by the visual of Jay and Mark lifting up a soccer goal and then carrying it a few meters away — literally Moving the Goalposts. In "You'll never guess the most popular internet country code", Mark tells the viewers to "strap in" for the explanation on some internet jargon. Quick cut to him or Jay trying to buckle up in his car seat. |

Taunton Cider's Red Rock Cider was advertised on British television in the late 1980s and early 1990s with a series of spots paying homage to Police Squad!, directed by John Lloyd and featuring Leslie Nielsen reprising his role as Frank Drebin. Among the many stylistic lifts from Police Squad!, the adverts featured many visual puns (some recycled from Police Squad!). For example, upon entering a pub, Drebin passes a sign reading "Pool" and bumps into a man at a pool table — which turns out to be full of water. | |

The snarky video game reviews of Zero Punctuation consist of an almost constant string of these. During the God of War: Chains of Olympus review, he subverts it.

The previous image for this page illustrated his comment that Super Mario Galaxy had "many interesting levels" with Mario looking at a pile of spirit levels and saying "How interesting."

Cells at Work!, which features an abstract depiction of life for cells in the human body, features a number of puns. Virii are depicted as various inanimate objects that attach to Ordinary Cells and turn them into Plague Zombies; the virus that causes dengue fever is depicted as tengu masks. Purine compounds are depicted as stacks of pudding cups, a play on the Japanese word for pudding, purin. The Boot Camp Episode shows the Macrophages and Dendritic Cells helping train thymocytes (developing T cells) by holding up cardboard cut-outs, representing their role as antigen-presenting cells. |

Dotto! Koni-chan: Used a few times in the Latin Spanish dub. For example, in the first episode of the Fish Samurai, Emi tried to stop him and he told her that she didn't have to thank him, turns out she wanted to warn him that he was going to fall into a chasm. While falling he says "ya caigo", which literally means "I'm falling already", but it's also a Mexican slang for "I get it now" or "I see". | |

In one scene in The Muppet Movie, Kermit instructs Fozzie to "turn left at the fork in the road". Kermit is quite surprised to see a literal giant fork stuck in the road at the turn-off. | |

Goldfish Warning!: Any time Chitose says "my school" (Watashi no gakuen), cue the school for scrubbing brushes (Tawashi no gakuen), although that may just be Wapiko not being able to hear properly. | |

There is actually a Yu-Gi-Oh! card named "Gyoh!" in Japan; its effect involves Fish-Type monsters and its art depicts a shark bearing down on a surprised monster. The US name is "Oh F!sh!" | |

One example that does translate, if not incredibly accurately, is in the third episode of Pokémon: The Original Series. Kasumi (Misty), who is afraid of bugs, spots a Caterpie, and screams "MUSHI!" (bug). Satoshi (Ash), mishearing her, pops up in a cow suit, and comments "Ushi?" (cow). The English dialogue opted for, after Misty's scream, having Ash (in the cow suit) comment "Maybe it's a... Cow-terpie!." | |

Fresh Guacamole: Most of the items used to make the guacamole are look-alikes, but some puns are thrown in too. When the baseball (which resembles an onion) and pincushion (a tomato) are cut, they turn into dice. They are literally being diced. The guacamole is served with a side of chips. No, not potato chips; poker chips. |

The Naked Sun: In a rare serious example, at one point Baley the detective asks his partner, R. Daneel Olivaw (the "R." means he's a robot) to "give me a hand". This results in Olivaw briefly giving a puzzled look at his own hand, as if being asked to unscrew it and give it to Baley. This proves to be an important clue to solving the murder. | |

This happens twice at the same time at the end of Deadpool vs. The Mask, where after reducing Deadpool to a head, The Mask pulls out a comically large nuke named "Fat Lady" to finish him off with. | |

Oi-chan from Mononoke Sharing is a nurikabe (basically a living wall) and is the only yokai in the series whose human form doesn't have large breasts, even when she's seen as an adult in the epilogue. She's flat as a board. | |

The Wikipedia page on the rhombic triacontahedron mentions that it is made of "golden rhombi", and illustrates this with an image of a golden rhombus — with a literal gold fill. | |

Guards! Guards!: When the Watch are arresting a villain, Vimes tells Carrot to "throw the book at him". Carrot, who doesn't understand metaphor, lobs The Laws and Ordinances of Ankh-Morpork in the villain's direction, causing the villain to lose his balance and fall five stories to his death. | |
