* [[{{BuffyTheVampireSlayer}} Tara]] did this in the musical episode. It wasn't quite a remark, but the "wink wink, nudge nudge" look she gave Willow when singing "I can feel you inside" erased any possibility that this might have been some kind of metaphor.

-->'''Dirty Words Man:''' Areas!\\
'''Man Reading Newspaper:''' That's not a dirty word.\\

* ''{{Animaniacs}}'': Pretty much any time a double entendre comes up in the dialog of the show, '''Yakko''' would say "Good night everybody!", generally drawing attention to it for those in the know (children probably still didn't get it).

* ''Film/{{Chinatown}}:

* ''[[RoboCop RoboCop]]''

* {{Interpol}}'s "Say Hello To The Angels"
--> "I cannot control the part of me that swells up when you move into my airspace"

NOTE: This trope is about ''pointing out'' a DoubleEntendre. If you find a double entendre {{sinkhole}}d to this article or one of its former titles, remove the sinkhole.

* In ''Shelter'', Jeanne is concerned because her brother Zach has been surfing with Shaun, who's gay. She talks to Zach about it, saying: "I don't think that he's the best guy to be hanging out with all day half naked, [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean if you know what I mean.]]"

--> '''Rosemary Penderghast:''' No, your father is as straight as they come. A little too straight, [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean if you know what I mean]], girlfriend.

* Scotty's smarmy talk about the Enterprise in ''StarTrek'' (2009) qualifies as a Nudge:

* An entire game on ''WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', using the trope name, is devoted to IfYouKnowWhatIMean jokes. It features the performers turning ''every single line'' into a double entendre by ending every sentence literally with, "If you know what I mean." The game's comedic value comes from the players thinking up ever more elaborate metaphors, often going to the point where they don't make any sense eg. the infamous: "Can I help you fluff your Garfield?"

* [[Series/DoctorWho "Ooh, Doctor, you sonic-ed her!"]]
** Also the repeated references to 'dancing' in ''The Empty Child''/''The Doctor Dances''.
** ''Tooth and Claw'' - Sir Robert, the villains' unwilling accomplice, asks why no-one noticed the werewolf-worshipping monks had taken the place of his household staff.
--> '''Doctor:''' Well, they were bald, athletic, your wife's away...I just thought you were happy.
** And in ''The Impossible Astronaut'' we have "I'm quite the [[TheImmodestOrgasm screamer]]... how's that for a spoiler?"
* '''[[TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]]:''' "That's right, Biden! I just said you ride the Amtrak, IfYouKnowWhatIMean!" ''*pause for laughter*'' "I don't know ''what'' that means."

** In one episode, when Lynn comes back from a date, he asks, "How did you two [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean make out]]?", laughing suggestively. Willie and Kate, are, of course, disgusted.

* Done many times on this wiki alone. {{If You Know What I Mean}}.
** Hee hee, they said "insert double entendre here"
*** Uh heh heh... "insert".

* The introduction to one translation of {{Aristophanes}}' plays gives an example of the difficulties a translator faces: jokes were made about people from the island of Salamis, because they had to row to the mainland, and the ancient Greek word for 'row' had a double meaning. Since modern audiences wouldn't pick up on this, the translators had to add an IfYouKnowWhatIMean: "She's from Salamis, need I say more?"

** A side conversation between Alistair and Oghren has them going back and forth about "polishing their weapons." Hilariously, while one of them is saying it in the IfYouKnowWhatIMean way, the other just means polishing his weapon, with the conversation ending with:

-->''I know you'll understand''/

* ''{{ALF}}'' occasionally alludes to Kate and Willy's love life in roundabout ways. At least once he'd claim to leave the two of them alone so they can, well, "wink wink nudge nudge".

* On ''AbsolutelyFabulous'', Patsy is quite fond of this type of joke--as well as laughing at her own jokes. The best example is probably: "The only thing that got him up in the night was his bladder. D'you get it, Ed? D'you get it? The only thing he got UP for, was to have a slash." (From "Fat")

* In the German episode of [[TotalDramaIsland Total Drama World Tour]], Noah teases Cody for having a tiny sausage. No, they were making them. It makes it all the more funny that the two are often [[HoYay paired together,]] and the [[http://totaldramaisland.blogspot.com/2010/07/ahh-memories.html creators know it.]]
** Owen, when talking about Noah, says, "I'd like to top HIS honor roll!" then a beat later he realizes what he just said, and asks the viewers if it sounded wrong.

* [[{{Discworld}} Nanny Ogg]] quite often used double entendres (though, as the books note, hers were ''single'' entendres and proud of it.)

* Rampant in the StargateUniverse episode ''Seizure'' when discussing the applications of virtual interaction.

* The ''entire episode'' "What Sexual Harris Meant" of {{Dinosaurs}} was rife with these - all coming from the eponymous character's mouth.

See also DontExplainTheJoke and ThatsWhatSheSaid. Has a distinct familiarity with DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything and IntercourseWithYou.

If the person being talked to still doesn't get it, see EntendreFailure.

* Issun of ''{{Okami}}'' just loves this trope.

Note that this is not about the DoubleEntendre itself, but that the character points it out after delivering it.
