- Justified:
- Bob is a little person so it's natural that his proportions would be smaller than most.
- Bob lives in a society that pushes the narrative that a man has more worth because of their large penis and men who don't live up to that standard deserve to be shamed and mocked.

- Parodied: Bob is a handsome, smart, wealthy, ladies' man, but every time he takes off his pants, women laugh at his microscopic penis.
- Zig Zagged: Bob thinks he's average until Alice sees him naked and starts mocking him.

He becomes more confident and gets a date, only for her to be disgusted by what she perceives to be an overly large member.
- Averted: Bob is of average size.

- Implied:

- Played For Drama: Alice mocks Bob for his size and he soon becomes extremely insecure, which makes him unable to be intimate with other women, and begins contemplating suicide.
- Played For Horror:
- Bob is mocked for his size and begins plotting revenge against his mockers. He captures them by surprise, ties them up, and puts them in a dark room. He takes out a knife and uses it to cut off the men's penises. The men scream in agony. After that, Bob forces the women who mocked him to eat them. The mockers are forever traumatized by this event.
- Bob gets revenge on his mockers by becoming a serial rapist targeting them. He makes sure to supply Self-Deprecation jokes about how uncomfortable the experience will be/was for them because of his tiny length throughout.
Wow, that link to Teeny Weenie is pretty small. That's embarrassing.
