  • Basic Trope: A very thirsty person drinks from a very big cup. * Straight: Bob has to spend all night working on his report, so he gets a bucket-sized cup of coffee. * Exaggerated: Bob works with a dozen barrel-sized cups of coffee nearby. * Justified: * Bob has a sleep disorder that requires greater-than-normal doses of coffee to stay awake. * Alternatively, Bob isn't exactly a human and needs more coffee. * Inverted: * Bob drinks from a bucket-sized cup of coffee, then spends all night working because he can't sleep. * Alternatively, Bob drinks coffee from a vodka glass. * Subverted: Bob is too busy working all night on the report to drink anything. * Double Subverted: * After work, however, he goes and orders a huge drink from a fast-food joint. * Alternately, coworker Charlie makes a food run and brings back a large softdrink for Bob. * Zig Zagged: ??? * Parodied: Bob is seen sitting next to a massive container of coffee with an IV drip in his arm. * Deconstructed: Bob develops kidney problems from drinking such excessive quantities. * Reconstructed: ??? * Averted: Bob doesn't want to spend the money/risk the calories on such a large drink. * Enforced: The bucket-sized cup is a new Gag Gift from the show's sponsors. * Lampshaded: Bob tells Alice he has an all-night project, then asks her to fill up "Gargantua". * Invoked: Alice, anticipating that Bob would hit an all-night deadline in the near future, gives him a bucket-sized cup as a gift. * Defied: Upon hearing that Bob has to pull an all-nighter, Alice smashes Bob's bucket-sized cup. * Discussed: ??? * Conversed: ??? * Played For Laughs: * Bob drinks from his bucket-sized cup of coffee, but ends up too hyperactive to actually get the report done. * Bob downs the entire bucket in one gulp, then finishes in half a second during the Caffeine Bullet Time. He then proceeds to finish the backlog of work he hadn't finished, and fill the next month's quota, too... all before 3:00 AM. And then promptly falls asleep. * Played For Drama: Bob drinks from his bucket-sized cup of coffee, then falls over from cardiac arrest. Back to Gigantic Gulp
