** Invoked by Jeremy Clarkson during Hot Hatchback challenge when they [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueBOKLl1LWE#t=369s raced around the Monaco GP Circuit]]:
-->'''Clarkson:''' Topless women! Mustn't look! Mustn't look!

--->'''Clarkson:''' They just put me off! These [[GagBoobs great orbs!]]
* A serious example of this trope happens in the first episode of the Australian mini-series ''Janus''. A woman is being hammered on the witness stand by the lawyer of her psychopathic ex-boyfriend, who's staring coldly at her the whole time. Realizing this, the policewoman guarding her sits in the front row of the public gallery, crosses her legs and makes eye contact with him. With her boyfriend's attention off her, the witness rallies under the questioning and provides the testimony they need.
* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' has one in a commercial parody called "I'm No Angel" where a pregnant redneck woman (played by Amy Poehler, who really was pregnant at the time the fake commercial first aired) distracts the men in a country western bar with her pre-natal sexy.
* ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway''
** One suggestion for the always funny "Scenes from a Hat" game lampshades this trope: Ryan as a lion-tamer attempts to place his head between Colin The Lion's jaws when he is Distracted by the Sexy. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny So is Colin's Lion.]]

* ''Series/{{Austin and Ally}}'': Austin in "Bloggers & Butterflies" and "Zaliens & Cloudwatchers".
* ''{{Series/NCIS}}''
** In "One Shot One Kill" a warehouse manager is distracted from [=DiNozzo's=] questioning by the sight of Kate's ass as she crawls around on the floor looking for evidence. [=DiNozzo=] is rather annoyed, presumably because [[HandsomeLech lusting after Kate is his job]].

* ''Celebrity Poker'': Creator/JenniferTilly is ''really'' good at poker. We suspect a lot of that is [[BuxomIsBetter psychological]].
* ''[[Literature/MikeHammer Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer]]''. Mike Hammer (Stacy Keach) sees a therapist in an effort to give up smoking. Unfortunately he's too busy checking out her ample bosom during the relaxation exercise (the fact that she's going on about "deep valleys" and "rolling hills" doesn't help). Then when answering the phone he automatically takes out a packet of cigarettes and lighter, both of which are removed from his hands by the therapist, who dryly informs Hammer that the treatment appears not to be working.
* ''Series/{{Lexx}}'''s Lyekka uses this to stun her victims (along with a little telepathy).
-->'''Reporter:''' For a rampaging monster she sure is gorgeous. I know that offers little consolation to the legions of Japanese people now being crushed to death by the monster, but ''wow, is she hot!''
* In the ''Series/GoodLuckCharlie'' episode "Baby Come Back", P.J. takes his baby sister out for a stroll in the park. He runs into a post at the sight of Emma, a cute girl taking her baby brother out for a stroll. This would've been only mildly amusing if not for the following:
-->'''Teddy:''' ''(furious)'' How could you bring home the wrong baby?\\
'''P.J.:''' I'm sorry; I got a little distracted: Emma is ''really'' cute!\\
'''Teddy:''' Yeah, so's our little sister.
* Robin Tunney on ''Series/TheMentalist'' -- in the GagReel. Both she and the other main female cast member just stand there as the guy who plays Rigsby tries to put his shirt on over his wet, glistening muscles. "Brian said that Justin was in love with her..." (both women keep staring at him). "Brian said that Justin was in love with her and my brain is dead I'm so sorry."
* ''{{Series/Mash}}'': In the episode "The Moose," Hawkeye is playing poker with a soldier who has a Korean woman as an "indentured servant," so Hawkeye tries to win her and thus liberate her. To effect this, he has an earpiece in which Radar (from a distance using a telescope) is transmitting the opponent's hand. But Radar gets distracted as a nurse wearing only a towel on her way to the nurse's showers walks by.
* ''Series/NightCourt'' does this when Harry has to arm-wrestle a stereotypical Texas big-money type to save a orphanage. He holds his own for a bit, but starts to lose -- so Christine, the 'sweet innocent' type, waves to get the guy's attention and flashes her breasts at him. Everyone else is focused on the match, so nobody else sees her do this. The Texan later tells her it was WorthIt.
* Used in a short film (no memory of a title or origin, sorry) entirely shown through the scope of a ColdSniper about to shoot someone coming out of a hotel -- but who's distracted by a woman stripping down to her underwear at a window. It comes to the point that the hitman ends up too late to shoot the target, whom gets into a car, and he starts cursing loudly. Then the voyeur witnesses a man, probably a jealous boyfriend, entering the same room as the woman, slapping her and pulling a handgun... and the sniper shoots him. (Thus being an extreme form of a WifeBasherBasher... probably because the guy wanted not "only" to beat her.)
* A few TV bloopers involving this trope:
** ''Life's Most Embarrassing Moments'' showed one blooper where a TV reporter was doing a report at a beach when he got distracted by a bikini clad girl who walked by, resulting in garbled lines and the cameraman focusing on the said girl.
** ''TV's Funniest Commercial Goofs'' had one commercial outtake where a guy advertising a brand of chicken got interrupted when a very busty woman passed right next to him. His line went like:
-->"See how your brand of chicken..." ''(woman walks by and he glances at her then back to the camera, then continues in a more subdued manner)'' "stacks up against mine."
* ''{{Series/Friends}}''
** When the boys play the girls in a Thanksgiving Day game of touch football, Phoebe distracts Chandler by lifting her shirt.
** Earlier in the series, he accidentally sees Rachel half-naked. Later on Rachel asks him why can't he stop staring at her breasts, and it takes a few seconds for him to register the question and lift his gaze.
** When Frank Jr meets his sister Phoebe's friends for the first time, he's bowled over by Monica and Rachel and asks the boys how on earth they can get anything done. Chandler admits they don't.
** In one season 5 episode, Joey spends the entire episode trying to locate a hot, sexy woman who lives in Ross's apartment block. At one point, Chandler watches Joey tear out of the room after spotting her through Monica's window before exclaiming, "I gotta check out this hot girl!". He only remembers his girlfriend is in the room just as he reaches the window, swerves away from it and lands on the couch next to Monica, adding a sheepish "There she is!" and a kiss before Monica can react.
* A very common gag on ''Series/TheBennyHillShow''.
** In one sketch set in WWII, Benny plays a sniper tasked to shoot Hitler. However, as he's testing the sights, he spots a fraulein in skimpy dress by a window. He keeps ogling while distractedly [[IKEAWeaponry putting together his sniper riffle]], which ends up in a twisted, useless shape.
* A sort of PG-rated example happens in an episode of ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy'', where Trakeena goes to Terra Venture in disguise, and pretty much everyone starts to follow her as she suggestively walks down the street, many of them stumbling as she does so, and then a lot of them scrambling to catch a lipstick that she drops. (On purpose; the one who actually picks it up quickly finds himself holding a cockroach. Clearly, she was doing this simply [[ItAmusedMe to have fun with them.]] Ironically, in this episode, the MonsterOfTheWeek was charged with stealing the beauty from the female inhabitants of the city in order to give to her, [[VainSorceress under her order.]])
* ''Series/ThirtyRock''
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qGouqhgFWU This scene.]]
** See also "The One with the Cast of ''Night Court''".
* One suspect on ''{{Series/Monk}}'' was a woman who had been blinded by an accident years earlier. Monk proves that her blindness was only temporary (despite her pretending to still be blind) by convincing a male streaker to run past her. She reacts with approval and gives herself away.
* ''Series/DoctorWho''
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E4TheGirlInTheFireplace The Girl in the Fireplace]]," this happens to the Doctor when he sees Reinette as an adult for the first time. He's uncharacteristically speechless for a good minute.
** BBC's 2011 UsefulNotes/ComicRelief benefit featured a six-minute ''Doctor Who'' short in which the TARDIS is endangered because of this trope. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51JtuEa_OPc Here's part 1.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkmiefoRcfU&feature=relmfu And Part 2.]]

But Radar gets distracted as a nurse wearing only a towel on her way to the nurse's showers walks by.
* ''Series/NightCourt'' does this when Harry has to arm-wrestle a stereotypical Texas big-money type to save a orphanage. He holds his own for a bit, but starts to lose -- so Christine, the 'sweet innocent' type, waves to get the guy's attention and flashes her breasts at him. Everyone else is focused on the match, so nobody else sees her do this. The Texan later tells her it was WorthIt.
* Used in a short film (no memory of a title or origin, sorry) entirely shown through the scope of a ColdSniper about to shoot someone coming out of a hotel -- but who's distracted by a woman stripping down to her underwear at a window. It comes to the point that the hitman ends up too late to shoot the target, whom gets into a car, and he starts cursing loudly. Then the voyeur witnesses a man, probably a jealous boyfriend, entering the same room as the woman, slapping her and pulling a handgun... and the sniper shoots him. (Thus being an extreme form of a WifeBasherBasher... probably because the guy wanted not "only" to beat her.)
* A few TV bloopers involving this trope:
** ''Life's Most Embarrassing Moments'' showed one blooper where a TV reporter was doing a report at a beach when he got distracted by a bikini clad girl who walked by, resulting in garbled lines and the cameraman focusing on the said girl.
** ''TV's Funniest Commercial Goofs'' had one commercial outtake where a guy advertising a brand of chicken got interrupted when a very busty woman passed right next to him. His line went like:
-->"See how your brand of chicken..." ''(woman walks by and he glances at her then back to the camera, then continues in a more subdued manner)'' "stacks up against mine."
* ''{{Series/Friends}}''
** When the boys play the girls in a Thanksgiving Day game of touch football, Phoebe distracts Chandler by lifting her shirt.
** Earlier in the series, he accidentally sees Rachel half-naked. Later on Rachel asks him why can't he stop staring at her breasts, and it takes a few seconds for him to register the question and lift his gaze.
** When Frank Jr meets his sister Phoebe's friends for the first time, he's bowled over by Monica and Rachel and asks the boys how on earth they can get anything done. Chandler admits they don't.
** In one season 5 episode, Joey spends the entire episode trying to locate a hot, sexy woman who lives in Ross's apartment block. At one point, Chandler watches Joey tear out of the room after spotting her through Monica's window before exclaiming, "I gotta check out this hot girl!". He only remembers his girlfriend is in the room just as he reaches the window, swerves away from it and lands on the couch next to Monica, adding a sheepish "There she is!" and a kiss before Monica can react.
* A very common gag on ''Series/TheBennyHillShow''.
** In one sketch set in WWII, Benny plays a sniper tasked to shoot Hitler. However, as he's testing the sights, he spots a fraulein in skimpy dress by a window. He keeps ogling while distractedly [[IKEAWeaponry putting together his sniper riffle]], which ends up in a twisted, useless shape.
* A sort of PG-rated example happens in an episode of ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy'', where Trakeena goes to Terra Venture in disguise, and pretty much everyone starts to follow her as she suggestively walks down the street, many of them stumbling as she does so, and then a lot of them scrambling to catch a lipstick that she drops. (On purpose; the one who actually picks it up quickly finds himself holding a cockroach. Clearly, she was doing this simply [[ItAmusedMe to have fun with them.]] Ironically, in this episode, the MonsterOfTheWeek was charged with stealing the beauty from the female inhabitants of the city in order to give to her, [[VainSorceress under her order.]])
* ''Series/ThirtyRock''
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qGouqhgFWU This scene.]]
** See also "The One with the Cast of ''Night Court''".
* One suspect on ''{{Series/Monk}}'' was a woman who had been blinded by an accident years earlier. Monk proves that her blindness was only temporary (despite her pretending to still be blind) by convincing a male streaker to run past her. She reacts with approval and gives herself away.
* ''Series/DoctorWho''
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E4TheGirlInTheFireplace The Girl in the Fireplace]]," Fireplace]]", this happens to the Doctor when he sees Reinette as an adult for the first time. He's uncharacteristically speechless for a good minute.
** BBC's In the 2011 UsefulNotes/ComicRelief benefit featured a six-minute ''Doctor Who'' short in which special, [[Recap/DoctorWho2011RNDSSpaceAndTime "Space"/"Time"]], the TARDIS is endangered because of this trope.

* ''Series/AmericanIdol''
** This more or less describes Haley Scarnato's entire run.
** And the aptly-named "Bikini Girl". They actually didn't bother calling her anything else on the show. And Kara got jealous. YA RLY.
* On ''Series/BoardwalkEmpire'', an authoritative "beach matron" combs the beaches of Atlantic City, fining girls 10 dollars each for wearing skirts that are too low. Showing too much leg was actually a punishable offense in 1921. Angela's new friend Louise is forced to cover up her shapely legs with a towel, causing a group of raucous boys on the beach to cry out in dismay as she does.
* In one episode of ''{{Series/The Big Bang Theory}}'', one of the main characters serves as a translator between his friend's deaf girlfriend and his friend when asking her about being a gold-digger, but becomes distracted by attractive women. Note - They are at a gym, with sweaty, gorgeous women walking around.

Given that Sheldon is a CelibateHero, this is very much not true, but Sheldon goes with it to avoid embarrassment.

* ''[[Literature/MikeHammer Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer]]''. Mike Hammer (Stacy Keach) sees a therapist in an effort to give up smoking. Unfortunately he's too busy checking out her ample bosom during the relaxation exercise (the fact that she's going on about "deep valleys" and "rolling hills" doesn't help).

* Captain Hastings in ''Series/{{Poirot}}'' is prone to this:
--> '''Hastings:''' What a stunning girl!\\
'''[[CelibateHero Poirot:]]''' I sometimes think, mon ami, that you are too easily stunned.
* A sort of PG-rated example happens in an
episode "Be of ''Series/PowerRangersLostGalaxy'', where Trakeena goes to Terra Venture in disguise, and pretty much everyone starts to follow her as she suggestively walks down the street, many of them stumbling as she does so, and then a Fairy Godmother Thing!" Crispo got lot of them scrambling to catch a 19 on lipstick that she drops. (On purpose; the one who actually picks it up quickly finds himself holding a history test because he cockroach.

* ''Franchise/StargateVerse'':
** After a bump on the head in an episode of ''Series/StargateAtlantis'', Rodney hallucinates Sam Carter to help him escape a sinking jumper. When the Sam part of his mind doesn't like the plan the rest of him comes up with, "she" invokes this trope by taking off her top and making out with him. It only works briefly.

** One suggestion for the always funny "Scenes from
a telekinetic CurbStompBattle Hat" game lampshades this trope: Ryan as a lion-tamer attempts to place his head between Colin The Lion's jaws when he is Distracted by the Sexy. [[CrowningMomentOfFunny So is Colin's Lion.]]
** Earlier in the UK version, one game of "Weird Newscasters" had Ryan doing the weather while "distracted
by a boy monk (long story). He assures her she couple making love in front of him".
--->'''Steve Frost:''' ''(as a ViolentGlaswegian soccer fan)'' YOU'RE GOIN' 'OME WITH A GREAT BIG STIFFIE!

can't win, and she responds by lifting resist referencing her shirt up and showing him her breasts. The boy's eyes widen as he forgets about what he was doing, and Max lays him out cold with figure, rendering the song (and the skit) not safe for broadcast.

* ''Series/TheXFiles'', "[[Recap/TheXFilesS05E12BadBlood Bad Blood]]": The story is told in RashomonStyle, but at least according to Agent Mulder, Agent Scully was distracted by the sexy representative of the local law enforcement when the agents first met him. According to Mulder, she didn't pay attention and repeated the same questions which Mulder had already asked. And indeed, even in Scully's own version, Sheriff Hartwell was a SouthernGentleman type with cowboy looks, somewhat tough, yet boyish and cute. She kept watching him dreamily and was practically swooning over him.
** A more subtle example of this trope happens in the pilot. While getting ready for a shower, Scully finds bumps on her back similar to those on the victims of the case she and Mulder are investigating. She panics and runs to Mulder's hotel room in nothing but her underwear and her robe. She drops the robe so Mulder can inspect the marks. Mulder is dumbfounded and more than a little distracted at first. Completely understandable, considering they'd known each other a grand total of ''two days.''
* In ''Series/Zoey101'', when the girls meet James, they immediately forget that came to ask Logan and Michael if they want to play basketball.
** In the very first episode, Chase sees Zoey from a distance, waves, and promptly runs into a flagpole. On his bike. This became a RunningGag for Chase, who then proceeded to have a painful accident every time he saw Zoey after a long absence--including falling ''off a wall'' and ''down a flight of stairs'' in the series finale.
