It involves using a physical object, such as cloth, tape, or a hand, to obstruct the mouth and prevent speech or noise. Gagging can be used in various contexts, including in situations of kidnapping, torture, or as a means of control and domination.

This comedic form of gagging involves temporarily muffling a person's voice or obstructing their ability to speak clearly, often resulting in humorous exchanges or miscommunications.

When a person is gagged, it implies the silencing or restriction of their ability to express their thoughts, opinions, or emotions openly. In this sense, gagging can be both a physical and metaphorical restraint on an individual's freedom of expression.
