- Straight: Jake is shown from the back while sitting at his desk, appearing to be masturbating. When the camera cuts to the front, it's revealed that he's actually just trying to build a model plane.
- Exaggerated: Jake and his girlfriend Rebecca are very heavily implied to be having sex, judging by the sounds they're making and the fact that they're saying things such as "Oh, yeah, put it in!" — it's later revealed that they were just building a model plane together.
- Downplayed: It appears that Jake is peeing in public, but he's actually just wringing water out from his coat.
- Justified: Jake knows that he's a TV character and deliberately faces away from the audience to troll them.
- Inverted: It's implied that Jake is building a model plane, but it's later revealed that he was just masturbating.
- Subverted: Jake made noises implying that he was doing something sexual, but he assures his friends that he was just building a model plane. As it turns out, however, Jake was actually lying.
- Double Subverted: ...But what he was actually doing was taking some candy and the reason he lied was because the candy was meant to be for later.

- Discussed: "You must have a dirty mind!"
- Conversed: "I wonder why making innocent acts look inappropriate is such a common thing."
