But You Screw One Goat!/Playing With

• Basic Trope: Bestiality (that is, sex with animals)
• Played Straight: Bob has sex with Alice. Alice is a dog...literally.
• Exaggerated:
  • Bob is banned from the zoo for some...unpleasantness involving an elephant.
  • Bob once rubbed his dog's belly a little too low accidently for a split second and now he's on PETA's watchlist.
• Inverted: A dog tries to have its way with Bob.
• Justified:
  • Bob is a zoophile, and definitely Not Good with People.
  • Bob is a Funny Animal, and his relationship with Alice is just a typical cartoon Interspecies Romance.
• Subverted:
  • Bob likes dogs, but not in that way. He spends a lot of time with them, but that's it.
  • Bob sleeps with a Catgirl
• Double Subverted:
  • But he gets drunk one night and wakes up naked, with his dog and a brand-new wedding ring.
  • Who is completely covered in fur, not like the conventional Catgirl who only has ears and a tail.
• Deconstructed: This one really falls into the Don't Try This At Home category. Besides the social and legal implications, there is also additional risk of disease, and it could hurt the animal and/or you.
• Reconstructed: Bob controls his zoophilic urges, and finds a way to redirect his energy away from animals.
• Parodied:
  • Bob marries his dog, Alice...and it's legally binding.
  • Bob is under arrest for inappropriate behavior with underage turtles
• Lampshaded: "I hear Bob is a real dog-lover."
• Averted:
  • Bob does not engage in any sexual behavior with animals.
  • Bob has no sex life in-story, period.
• Enforced:
  • Rule of Funny
  • Alternatively, we need to show that Bob is a Complete Monster with no regard for laws and social norms.
• Invoked: Bob gets drunk, and suddenly, his dog starts to look really sexy.
• Defied: Bob thinks this is Squick, and does not have sex with Alice. He just takes her for a walk.
• Discussed: When Bob complains about his sexual frustration, Alice jokes about having to keep him away from her dog.
• Conversed: "Sex with animals...disgusting."
• Played For Laughs: Almost always is.
• Played For Drama: Bob is arrested for bestiality, and embarrasses his family when word gets out about why he was arrested.
