Trying to understand ツッコミ and 突っ込まない and similiar


The character is walking around Tokyo with her boyfriend from the country. The
boyfriend notices she's tired and tells her this:

> 少し 休んでいくか? 丁度いい所に休憩可能なホテルがある

"Should we rest a bit? Just at the right time we found/here there is an hotel
where can take a break"

The joke is that the "hotel" is a love hotel, and the boyfriend, being from
the country, isn't aware of what a love hotel is.

So then the girl thinks this:

Followed by an

> いや 本当にで誘われてたら失礼だよ

"No, if he's actually inviting me for real, it would be rude"

Upon searching around I'm stumbled on what actually ツッコミ and 突っ込まない. One of
the meaning seem to be "to quip" while some other seems more along the line of
"to delve into the matter" while other seem to be more like "Playing the
straight man in comedy".

So what is exactly the meaning of this word and how it's used? Are all the
meanings meant to be similar?




It's a pun on つっこむ. It reads つっこむべき？いや、つっこまれ・・・じゃなくて！=literally, _Should I do
ツッコミ, no, I'm on the side receiving ツッコミ_.

One meaning is the one corresponding to ツッコミ in comedy. A type of comedy talk
consists of two persons, one ボケ and the other ツッコミ. ボケ says something
ridiculous/funny and ツッコミ 'delves into'/make corrections to/make clear what
the ボケ says. In the particular scene, the boyfriend referring to a love hotel
as a normal hotel is treated as a ボケ (something ridiculous). つっこむべき? means
_Should I do ツッコミ_ , meaning the speaker wondering if she should make a laugh
out of it (like "hey, it's a love hotel.").

The other meaning is sexual. The basic meaning of つっこむ is pushing something
into a hole(-ish). The speaker is female. The passive つっこまれ・・・ refers to her
being on the side having the thing pushed into in the sexual intercourse. (I
didn't know but
[ツッコミ](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%84%E3%83%83%E3%82%B3%E3%83%9F) as
a police jargon means rape. Of course, the quote does not mean rape.)
