Basic Trope: An animal's interior is a big rib cage.
- Straight: Alice and Bob get swallowed by a whale during a fishing trip, and the interior is a big rib cage.
- Averted:
- The whale's stomach is a realistic flesh bag of digestive juices.
- Alice and Bob don't get eaten. Or there is no whale.
- Lampshaded: "Huh, so this is what a whale's interior looks like. Where are all the internal organs?"
- Downplayed: The inside of the whale has actual stomach walls, but they look like a rib cage, for some reason.
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Zig-Zagged: Alice and Bob are swallowed by more than one whale over the course of the episode, and some of them have ribcage stomachs, while others have actual stomachs.
- Defied:Bob: "So the inside of a whale *isn't* a giant ribcage?"Alice: *sighs and rolls her eyes* "Oh Bob *cheerfully smiles*, you are so naive."
