three is three
Aug. 11th, 2008 05:40 pmAt least, I think such things are rare. The only other one I can come up with, off the top of my head, is the name of Parappa's master in Parappa The Rapper. Chop Chop Master Onion is an animated onion (something you chop up), an Asian stereotype ("chop chop!"), and a martial-arts master (who teaches Parappa to do a karate chop).
In both cases, I'm not totally confident all three meanings were intended by the creators, though it seems likely. (The fact that LPs are exactly a foot across might seem too obscure to refer to were it not for "twelve-inches", i.e. non-LP singles of that size. But also, that was 15 years ago, and even if nobody was buying vinyl, it was still a pretty vivid cultural memory.)
Possibly I have idiosyncratic criteria for 'real' triple-entendres, but there must be more. At the very least, there must be a third one!
