'''L:''' Touched what?\\
'''Mello:''' Bow chicka bow wow.

** It is if you're a [[FanNickname Bowie fan]]. Then again, that's [[AC:Area]]. There can be only one!

* In ''Film/{{Shelter|2007}}'', 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, if you know what I mean."

* 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, if you know what I mean."

* ''Series/{{Psych}}'':
** Shawn says he's selling tickets for the Policemen's Ball. Lassiter says "We don't have balls." Shawn says "There is absolutely nothing I can say to that."
** In another episode (about a character they're trying to investigate for fraud):
--->'''Shawn''': All I have to do is make sure Bethel is in front of those cameras when he exposes himself.\\
'''Gus''': Right idea. ''Wrong'' choice of words.

* Lampshaded in one episode of ''Series/{{Cybill}}''. Cybill plays the part of a mother in an ad for something called "Femigel", which is supposed to help women with "you know what I mean".

* [[Creator/MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]], as host of ''Series/YouBetYourLife'', didn't ''need'' to lampshade things that could be construed as double entendres. A quick raise of the eyebrows spoke ''volumes''.

'''Bender:''' That's what she said. Whooooo!

* ''Series/{{Friends}}'':
** Chandler seeing Rachel's boss led to this exchange.
--->'''Chandler:''' She's not just the boss in your office… if you know what I mean.\\

* [[SayingSoundEffectsOutLoud Adding a deliberately obvious]] "wink, wink" or "nudge" after the statement

* It's a RunningGag in ''VideoGame/DeadInVinland'' that tomboyish teenager Kari doesn't understand sexual innuendo - even when her dirty-minded aunt Moira lampshades Kari's own accidental innuendo with "ThatsWhatSheSaid!"

--->'''Brian:''' Okay, now just [[IkeaErotica insert support rod "A" into slot "B"]].\\
'''Peter:''' That's what she s-\\
'''Brian:''' If you say "that's what she said" again, I'm going to pop you!

** The gang was just finished [[ItMakesSenseInContext defeating a deer]] and saving the [[AnthropomorphicFood candy people]] when Princess Bubblegum said this to [[KidHero Finn]]:
--->'''Princess Bubblegum:''' The dear wanted our sugar, but I didn't give him any.... if you know what I mean. ''[clicks teeth twice]''\\

** Then in Puhoy, Finn goes to a Pillow World and dances with a Pillow girl. He comments on how in his world pillows are used for bedding. She giggles, gives a sly grin and states that they are used for that here too. Finn nervously chuckles and blushes.

* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' you have option to say "If you know what I mean" while romancing Alistair.
** So... have ''you'' ever licked a lamppost in winter?
*** And the Warden's follow up option for both genders: "Why yes, I've licked my fair share of lampposts, ''and then some." '' Leaves Alistair gobsmacked.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "Spanish Fry" has Bender being semi-dedicated to this trope yelling several from off camera, complete with 'WHOOO!', not surprising given that the show is about aliens attempting to harvest Fry's "lower horn" as a potential aphrodisiac.
-->'''Fry:''' Look, normally I'm the first guy to toot his own lower horn...\\

'''Bender:''' Just like at the movie theater. Whooooo!
*** The DVD commentary notes that Bender is shouting these comments from offscreen in several cases because they just kept adding more in to lampshade all the entendres.

** "All's Fair In Oven War":

** "Lisa's Rival":

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': Any time a double entendre comes up in the dialog of the show, '''Yakko''' would say "Good night everybody!" to the audience (implying they'd get taken off the air for the joke), generally drawing attention to it for those in the know ([[ParentalBonus children probably still didn't get it]]).

-->'''Light:''' [[spoiler:Higuchi]]'s still raving. Apparently he just says the same thing over and over—'Everyone who touched it should be dead.'
-->'''L:''' Touched what?
-->'''Mello:''' Bow chicka bow wow.

'''Eleya (narrating):''' Standing at attention--not figuratively, thank the Prophets, that would've been just ''perfect''--is Gaarra, [[IntroductionByHookup the guy I went to bed with last night]].

--> '''Naruto:''' "Hey Hinata! Rise and shine!"
--> '''Hinata:''' "Ugh. What is it you want from me Uzumaki?"
--> '''Naruto:''' (briefly checks her out then gives her a FascinatingEyebrow) "Well since you're offering..."
--> '''Hinata:''' (covers chest with hands and blushes) "Not what I meant!"

'''(cut to Yvette struggling to control an electric buffer in a hallway)'''

-->'''Twain:''' No, don't look at each other! Look at me! I?m the greatest! I'm number one!\\

* Rampant in the ''Series/StargateUniverse'' episode "Seizure" when discussing the applications of virtual interaction.
* The "Nudge, Nudge" sketch from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' is, as the quote above indicates, one of the most famous examples of this gag.
* ''Radio/TheFrantics''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6iSk9vsK_E "Dirty Words"]] sketch, in which a man does this with neutral words from newspaper headlines.
-->'''Dirty Words Man:''' Areas! That's not a dirty word.\\
'''Man Reading Newspaper:''' No, it's not.\\
'''Dirty Words Man:''' It is if you say it right.
** It is if you're a [[FanNickname Bowie fan]]. Then again, that's [[AC:Area]]. There can be only one!
** Also if you're an ''[[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]]'' fan (also acceptable: region, store)
* ''Series/{{Friends}}'':
** Chandler seeing Rachel's boss led to this exchange.
--->'''Chandler:''' She's not just the boss in your office… if you know what I mean.\\
'''Joey:''' ''(chuckles, then gets stared at)'' Sorry, I knew what he meant.
* A game on ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', using the original trope name, is devoted to these jokes. It features the performers turning ''every single line'' into a double entendre by ending every sentence 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 e.g. the infamous: "Can I help you fluff your Garfield?"
** If you think that last one doesn't make any sense, try saying it to a woman. What conclusion do you think she'll come to?
** This game was occasionally subverted by Colin Mochrie, with lines like "No, I don't know what you mean," or "I'm going to go to the bathroom." The other members would simply react in mock disgust when it came to subverting. In contrast to Colin Mochrie, Brad Sherwood was a stand-out in this game.[[note]]"Nothing better than a 200 pound snatch, if you know what I mean!" [[http://youtu.be/UQE-t2rmtek]][[/note]]
** "If I had a nickel for every time I heard that!"
* In ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', The Todd, who commonly uses the DoubleEntendre, will also use more obvious references, such as the classic "That's what ''she'' said!" or when a character ([[AnythingThatMoves usually]] female) mentions they're looking for something, he'll pop up and say "I got your [object sought for] right here!" and motion to his crotch. He'll also explain his references from time to time.
** The Todd has even turned the word "innuendo" into a double entendre by saying it as "inYOURendo".
** His "I'd like to double her entendre" line.
* Michael Scott, of ''Series/TheOfficeUS'', frequently adds "that's what she said" to statements. In the episode ''Dunder Mifflin Infinity'', it was revealed that he keeps a list of things he can say just to be able to add those four words.
-->'''Pam:''' "That job looks hard." "You should put your mouth on that." How can you even use that one naturally?\\
'''Michael:''' Blowing up balloons, I thought.

* ''Series/{{House}}'' provides an inversion when a physical therapist orders Dr. House to use a quad cane:
-->'''Cameron:''' Nice cane.\\
'''House:''' ...if I know what you mean!
** Similarly...
--->'''House:''' Dr. Cuddy! LOVE the outfit! Says "I'm professional, but I'm still a woman." Actually, it kinda ''yells'' that second part.\\
'''Cuddy:''' Yeah, and your big cane doesn't mean anything either.
** And possibly one of the crowning examples...
--->'''House:''' ''[handing cane to intern]'' Here, hold my metaphor for a second.
** Also:
--->'''Cameron:''' Where do you put your cane?\\
'''House:''' ''[looks over to Wilson]'' If he buys me dinner, [[HoYay he'll find out.]]
* On ''Series/{{Titus}}'', Chris Titus's [[TheDitz special]] brother Dave once had a sequence where he repeatedly made direct references to sex, ending each line with "If you know what I mean!". Like "Sorry we're late me and Nancy were having sex in the car, if you know what I mean", and "That's time you could have spent having sex with Erin if you know what I mean" Chris: "We've all cracked your little code, Dave."
* RunningGag on ''Series/TheTick2001'': Batmanuel says "if you know what I'm saying" and The Tick replies [[EntendreFailure "Nope."]]
* April Rhodes to Will on ''Series/{{Glee}}'': "Divorce? So you're free to date? And by date, I mean sleep with people, and by sleep with I mean have sex with people, people like ME!"
* Invoked on an episode of ''Series/{{Beastmaster}}''.
-->'''King Zad''': Every [[{{Mooks}} Terron warrior]] will have a priceless horn! …so to speak.
* On ''Series/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")
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E4TheTimeOfAngels "The Time of Angels"]]: "Ooh, Doctor, you sonic-ed her!"
** Also the repeated references to "dancing" in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E9TheEmptyChild "The Empty Child"]]/[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E10TheDoctorDances "The Doctor Dances"]].
** And in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E1TheImpossibleAstronaut "The Impossible Astronaut"]] we have "I'm quite the [[TheImmodestOrgasm screamer]]... now ''there's'' a spoiler for you."
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E2DinosaursOnASpaceship "Dinosaurs on a Spaceship"]]: Riddell is, in Amy's words, "the walking innuendo".
--->'''Riddell:''' You clearly need a man of action, excitement. One with a very large weapon. (''cocks his gun'')
** Let's just classify most of what [[ExtremeOmnisexual Jack]] says as this, particularly in ''Series/{{Torchwood}}''.
* ''Series/TheDailyShow'':
** Segment names are often double entendres implying that host Jon Stewart is doing something extremely lewd. Stewart will always protest the names as he sees them.
** "That's right, Biden! I just said you ride the Amtrak, if you know what I mean!" ''*pause for laughter*'' "I don't know ''what'' that means."

* ''Series/{{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".
** In one episode, when Lynn comes back from a date, he asks, "How did you two make out?", laughing suggestively. Willie and Kate are disgusted.
* Lampshaded in one episode of ''Series/{{Cybill}}''. Cybill plays the part of a mother in an ad for something called "Femigel", which is supposed to help women with "you know what I mean".

-->'''Chang:''' "And then she said "screw you!" or "screw education!" or something like that and stormed out of the room in her high-heeled boots like it was tampon time. ''If'' you know what I mean."\\
'''Jeff:''' "[[DeadpanSnarker Objection. I don't know what he means.]]"\\
'''Duncan:''' "Don't encourage him, Winger."
* ''Series/TwinPeaks'', which features Creator/DavidDuchovny as a cross-dressing FBI agent, has said agent deliver one of these to Cooper:
-->'''Dennis/Denise Bryson''': More importantly, ''who'' is that girl?\\
'''Dale Cooper''': Well now, Denise, I'd have thought you're no longer interested in the opposite sex.\\
'''Dennis/Denise Bryson''': Coop, I may wear women's clothing, but I still put my panties on one leg at a time, if you know what I mean.\\
'''Dale Cooper''': ...not really.
* Tara did this in the musical episode of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''. 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. Her repetition of "You make me com...plete" leading to the song ending with "You make me..." was more than a little suggestive as well.
** Not to mention between those two lines, Tara singing "spread beneath my Willow tree"! She's even lying back on a bed, with Willow just out of shot - does that make this a double audio-visual entendre, or a triple entendre?
** Larry makes a lewd comment re Buffy and Willow, causing DeadpanSnarker Oz to comment that he's mastered the "single entendre".

* In "The Dogs of War," the second-to-last episode of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', Zek tells Quark in a comm transmission "I'm retiring. Your mother and I are moving to Risa to enjoy our old age and do a lot of (''static''), if you know I mean. Quark's response? "Good for you, I guess."
* [[Creator/MarxBrothers Groucho Marx]], as host of ''Series/YouBetYourLife'', didn't ''need'' to lampshade things that could be construed as double entendres. A quick raise of the eyebrows spoke ''volumes''.
** The audience, who got used to this, started lampshading double entendres by laughing even in situations where even Groucho didn't realize something sounded like an innuendo.
** "Maybe I can come over later and clean your pipes? Wow, they haven't let me say that in twenty-five years."
* In the 'rebrand Margate' task of ''Series/TheApprentice'' (UK), Nick Hewer comments on one team's attempts to create photographs of gay couples dancing in a nightclub:
--> From what I can see, they're not getting a lot of direction, and it's all looking a bit stiff and wooden... if I can put it that way.
* In ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', Alex explains to her parents her new idea of a sandwich called "Meet Me In Turkey", then she turns to Justin and grins, telling him that he knows where she's going with that.
* ''Series/{{Psych}}'':
** Shawn says he's selling tickets for the Policemen's Ball. Lassiter says "We don't have balls." Shawn says "There is absolutely nothing I can say to that."
** In another episode (about a character they're trying to investigate for fraud):
--->'''Shawn''': All I have to do is make sure Bethel is in front of those cameras when he exposes himself.\\
'''Gus''': Right idea. ''Wrong'' choice of words.
* On ''Sunrise On 7'' reporter Edwina Barthowlmew points out [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything the similarities]] between [[UsefulNotes/WaterPolo men's water polo]] and [[GuyOnGuyIsHot gay sex]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m83m6GlRmcc#t=1m52s this expose`]]:
--> '''A.J. Roach''': It's a great spectacle. Especially guys running around in their speedos, wrestling and pressing up against one another. So it's a good sport to watch.\\
'''Edwina Barthowlmew''': [[HoYay That sounds like the Greek Olympics]].

* In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2seALEj8z3c#t=18m12s this scene]] from the ''Series/{{Baywatch}}'' episode, "The Trophy", one of the three [[WalkingSwimSuitScene girls on the beach]] tells Eddie Kramer "I [[ThePornomancer go far]] when I go out." and one of the other girls then says "[[SexGoddess Yeah! All the way!]]".
* In ''Series/ParksAndRecreation'', Leslie is being interviewed by Perd Hapley about a picture of someone's penis that got Emailed to every woman at city hall.
-->'''Leslie''': It's not ''that'' big a deal, if you know what I mean.\\
'''Perd''': ''[laughs]'' [[EntendreFailure I don't know what you mean, but it certainly had the cadence of a joke]].

* "Strip Away My Conscience" from ''Series/CrazyExGirlfriend'' is a ''Film/{{Chicago}}'' style song chock full of DoubleEntendre (one line goes "Kiss around my sense of right and wrong - but not on it, it's sensitive.") After Rebecca sings "let me choke on your cocksuredness", complete with appropriate gesture, the back-up dancers just straight up call out "''innuendo!''"

-->'''Kelly:''' Hmmm. "Push in, pull out." How should I remember that? (''Bud gropes for an explanation'')

--> "Yeah you've got that somethin/
-->''I think you'll understand''/
-->when I say that somethin'/
-->I wanna hold your hand

-->'''Alistair''': Wait, what are you talking about?\\

--->'''Princess Bubblegum:''' The dear wanted our sugar, but I didn't give him any.... if you know what I mean. ''(clicks teeth twice)''\\
'''Finn:''' ''(beat)'' Um...

* Legendary Bluesman ''Music/RobertJohnson'' muttered a sly:"You know what I'm talkin' about" after the line: "You can squeeze my lemon 'til the juice runs down my leg". The line was later appropriated by ''Music/LedZeppelin'' in "The Lemon Song"

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': Any time a double entendre comes up in the dialog of the show, '''Yakko''' would throw a kiss to the audience and say "Good night everybody!" (implying they'd get taken off the air for the joke), generally drawing attention to it for those in the know ([[ParentalBonus children probably still didn't get it]]).

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': Any time a double entendre comes up in the dialog of the show, '''Yakko''' would say "Good night everybody!" (implying they'd get taken off the air for it), generally drawing attention to it for those in the know ([[ParentalBonus children probably still didn't get it]]).

* While not used in a sexual manner, [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyIII the Onion Knight]] in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' uses this phrase in a way that can SO easily be [[UnEntendre taken out of context:]]

-->'''Onion Knight:''' I've got something they don't, ''right here''[[note]]He's pointing to his head, befitting his role in the story as an InsufferableGenius[[/note]], if you know what I mean!
