* On the YouTube page of Shakira and Rihanna's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3mP3mJDL2k "Can't Remember to Forget You"]] the majority of the comments is from women and girls, either stating that seeing this video is what made them realize they're lesbian, or that they're straight but that this video might be changing their minds about that.

** During the Crossdressing Pagent, on seeing [[spoiler:Teddie]] in an [[AliceAllusion Alice outfit]], one male spectator declares, "I'd hit it."

* This an a lot more of male insecurities are the central theme in ''¿Quien Pidio Pollo?'', a stand up comedy by the colombian actor Antonio Sanint.

* ''ComicBook/XMen'': Mystique is mostly attracted to women (which makes her relationship with Rogue questionable to say the least); her longest, indeed her only real relationship, was with her lover Destiny; but she will have sex with men if she feels there is something to be gained (money, from B. Byron Biggs; security, from Sabretooth; power, from Senator Brickman) and she will completely lose her head over a totally unsuitable man who will usually end up abusing her in some shape or form, which will lead her to leave him, and then come back to enact a HORRIBLE revenge (e.g., Senator Brickman, whom she strangled during sex, after which she screamed at him, "How was that? Was it GOOD FOR YOU?").

* Beca in ''Film/PitchPerfect 2'' tries to insult the German team leader but all she can come out with is stuff like "You're physically flawless" and "Your sweat smells like cinnamon". She mentions to her that "Just because you're making me ''very'' sexually confused does not mean I find you intimdating!"

* In the ''Literature/ParrishPlessis'' novel ''Crash Deluxe'', Parrish has this reaction to Glorious, the ''Amorato'' who's been assigned the job of training her - even ''before'' Glorious starts regularly dosing her with pheromones.

** There's also one episode where Denise Richards plays Ross's cousin, and all the guys (yes, [[KissingCousins even Ross]]) are turned on by her. Every time she shows up on screen, the intro of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcBPPD1fuZY "I'm Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More, Baby"]], song of the late Music/BarryWhite, is playing on the backgroud, while her hair floats. The episode ends with her showing up at Phoebe's house, who opens the door, has the exact same reaction as the guys (same sexy music, etc), and having an inner monologue that ends with ''Go for it! She's not YOUR cousin!''

* In "Tommy's Not Gay" of ''Series/{{Titus}}'', Titus has a moment in the neutral space where he talks about how everyone has had at least one moment where they are flipping through a Muscle Magazine "'cause you're a man" and upon seeing a well-toned man, he talks about his large biceps, ripped abs, and he briefly starts swaying his hips before he realized what he was doing. Throwing the magazine while screaming, he quickly did five push-ups and walked off, talking about going to a strip-club.

* During Lita's run as a color commentator for Wrestling/{{WWE}}, she invoked this when Molly Holly (who was known for dressing conservatively) came out in a relatively low-cut top. Of course, Lita sounded wooden and completely uninterested - [[DullSurprise even more so than usual]] - which ruined the effect.

* In the ''Series/{{Castle}}'' episode "Anatomy of a Murder", Castle conspires on how a saucy love triangle might have led to a doctor's death when this happens:

* In ''Manga/KanojoGaFlagOOraretara'' [[DudeLooksLikeALady Megumu]] glomps Souta who appears confused and says "Hold on, why does he smell this nice?! And his body's soft!"

* In ''Kanojo ga Flag O Oraretara'' [[DudeLooksLikeALady Megumu]] glomps Souta who appears confused and says "Hold on, why does he smell this nice?! And his body's soft!"

* ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'': The strip where Italy gets a request to "keep his eyes open longer than 10 minutes"

'''Italy:''' Got it! ''(opens his eyes)'' Like this??\\
''(Italy sits there with big wide eyes; Germany looks disturbed, and ends up slapping his hand over Italy's face)''?\\
'''Cuba:''' ''(laughing)'' What is it? Was his face so preposterous??\\

* There's some ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' [[http://blazinreshiram.deviantart.com/art/Stupid-Sexy-Flandre-202904122 fanart]] out there of Marisa thinking about [[IncrediblyLamePun stupid sexy Flandre]].

* Mentioned briefly in ''FanFic/{{Princess}}''; Julien is a {{Transgender}} man, and can pass quite easily to anyone who doesn't know enough about lemurs to tell the difference. To other lemurs, however, it's a different matter, and surgery isn't really an option for him. Maurice mentions how awkward it is to work for a male-identified king who so strongly resembles an attractive female.
* ''FanFic/RespawnOfTheDead'' has a ShoutOut to the {{Trope Namer|s}}, except he actually ''is'' wearing nothing at all at the time.

'''Homer:''' Well, duh! He's breathtaking. But Bart has inner beauty, like you'd find in a rodent.

* Chrono became the butt of this gag when the ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' FanWebComic ''[[http://www.entropymax.com/ Nanoha R'r]]'' portrayed [[ViewerGenderConfusion Yuuno]] as pretty enough for [[EvenTheGuysWantHim guys to have crushes on him]]. [[http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/8387/nanorr03translatedrd2.png Observe]].

* Garrus of ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' is known to induce this in otherwise straight male fans of the series (and at least some lesbians) due to essentially being [[http://rooster82.deviantart.com/art/Turian-Batman-157842842 Turian]] Franchise/{{Batman}} with a dash of {{Adorkable}} thrown in.

* Many, ''[[CastFullOfPrettyBoys many]]'' male characters from the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' franchise have made male gamers feel this way, wether it be from badassery, [[{{Bishonen}} prettiness]] or both. Narrowing it down to ''which ones'' varies from person to person and depends on what specific game is being talked about, but the most common invokers of this trope seem to be [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud]][[note]][[AttractiveBentGender crossdressing]] or not[[/note]] and [[VideoGame/CrisisCore Zack]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', when Squidward tries to [[ImagineTheAudienceNaked picture his rival, Squilliam, in his underwear]] (in order to face Squilliam face to face), he realizes that "[[http://youtu.be/1X4v3WmpNo8 Oh no, he's hot!]]"

* [[HornyDevil Dabbler]] from ''Webcomic/GrrlPower'' (see page picture, the [[{{Underboobs}} Underboob]] on the right is hers) inspires this whenever she turns on the succubus charm to the max (she loathes having to lower it "below ten" in her own words) and straight women who see her in this appearance can be seen repeating "Not a lesbian!" in their mind over and over. And men have to remind themselves that they're married, or that she's a subordinate.

* ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'': Spoony wasn't worried about being gay, but a different sexual kink: He was just ranting against gamers who consider the underaged [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Rikku]] hot, when they slip in a pictue of a *ahem* well-developed cosplayer in a kinky Rikku costume, distracting Spoony for a moment before cursing the "Stupid Sexy Cosplayers".

Compare DudeLooksLikeALady, GayMoment, EvenTheGuysWantHim, EvenTheGirlsWantHer, HoYay.

* Ned Flanders in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', as described above, although the fact that he's a chiseled male specimen is highlighted in more than one episode. [[TropeNamers The trope's name comes from a line uttered by Homer in the episode "Little Big Mom"]].
-->'''Ned:''' Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all! Nothing at all! ''[[RuleOfThree Nothing at all!]]''

* ''ComicBook/XMen'': Mystique is mostly attracted to women (which makes her relationship with Rogue questionable to say the least); her longest, indeed her only real relationship, was with her lover Irene Adler; but she will have sex with men if she feels there is something to be gained (money, from B. Byron Biggs; security, from Sabretooth; power, from Senator Brickman) and she will completely lose her head over a totally unsuitable man who will usually end up abusing her in some shape or form, which will lead her to leave him, and then come back to enact a HORRIBLE revenge (e.g., Senator Brickman, whom she strangled during sex, after which she screamed at him, "How was that? Was it GOOD FOR YOU?").

* While she can't stand the movie, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick mentions a few times that Disney/{{Pocahontas}} is extremely hot.

* Creator/TerryPratchett very explicitly lampshades the "man cross-dressing is ''[[AttractiveBentGender beautiful]]''" trope in ''Discworld/{{Jingo}}'' before utterly and wonderfully subverting it. The man in question is Nobby Nobbs, who carries a card signed by the Patrician certifying that he is almost certainly human. Because [[IAmNotWeasel it's often necessary]].

* ''Series/TheGoodPlace'': In "Tahani Al-Jamil", Elanor is going off on one her usual rants about Tahani to Chidi, only for it to end somewhere quite different from she started:

** As explained in the comic, Ted is TOO girly for gay men (well, Justin at least) to find attractive. Straight men, [[EvenTheGuysWantHim on the other hand...]]

'''Ned Flanders:''' (wiggling butt) Feels like I'm wearing nothin' at all! ''[close up of Ned's butt]'' Nothin' at all! ''[closer close up of Ned's butt]'' ''Nothin' at all!''\\

[[folder:Comics]]

* {{ComicBook/Daken}} was this to Venom and Bullseye in ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers''. Add to that the fact that Daken is [[AnythingThatMoves Bi]] and also emits pheromones which can make him influence people of the opposite gender. Making his StupidSexyFlanders a ''superpower''.

* X-Men: Mystique is mostly attracted to women (which makes her relationship with Rogue questionable to say the least); her longest, indeed her only real relationship, was with her lover Irene Adler; but she will have sex with men if she feels there is something to be gained (Money, from B. Byron Biggs; security, from Sabretooth; power, from Senator Brickman) and she will completely lose her head over a totally unsuitable man who will usually end up abusing her in some shape or form, which will lead her to leave him, and then come back to enact a HORRIBLE revenge (e.g., Senator Brickman, whom she strangled during sex, after which she screamed at him, "How was that? Was it GOOD FOR YOU?").

* ''FanFic/NobodyDies'' has this occur in chapter 14 with Ritsuko having thoughts about Maya in a plugsuit. What makes it notable is that not only is a direct homage to the trope-naming scene, it helps her come to terms with her sexuality and paves the way for an eventual RelationshipUpgrade with Maya. Also, no squick for Ritsuko.

* ''FanFic/{{Hivefled}}'': Karkat and "female fetishist" Kanaya are both rather disturbed to realise they've been bordering on [[SlapSlapKiss caliginous]] flirting when arguing.

* ''WithThisRing'' has OL's relationship with Superboy. OL is mostly straight (though is well-aware that sexual identity is very fluid), yet finds himself surprised how drawn he feels towards Superboy, both on an emotional and physical level. It becomes a moot point anyway, since OL isnt comfortable with dating someone who's technically two months old (being a clone and all), and Superboy becomes romantically involved with Miss Martian like in the canonical show.

[[folder:Film]]

* ''Film/{{Hamlet 2}}'''s musical-within-a-movie has a song about how Jesus is this:

* ''Manga/DeathNote'': The live-action movie gives us the Spaceland bus driver describing Light as "quite a good looking guy- not that I'm into guys..."

* {{Music/Voltaire}} seems to have a bit of this for Keanu Reeves in the song "Future Ex-Girlfriend".

* [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Zeus]], despite being prone to produce an offspring with any pretty woman he lays his eyes on, does this with young Ganymede. He finds him so beautiful that he kidnaps him to Olymp, names him his personal cupbearer (replacing his own daughter Hebe) and grants him immortality so he can stay beautiful forever.

[[folder:Stand-Up Comedy]]
* Creator/LouisCK has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLEqH00nQac a routine]] about having this reaction to Ewan [=McGregor=] in his special "Shameless".
* Creator/JamieFoxx has an extended routine exploring this happening when he met Prince. While ice skating.
* Creator/RonWhite has a routine about pointing this tendency out to a homophobic cousin.
-->'''Ron:''' Look, we're all gay. It's just different degrees.\\
'''Ray:''' No way, man! I'm not gay.\\
'''Ron:''' Okay, do you like watching porn?\\
'''Ray:''' You know I love porn.\\
'''Ron:''' Do you only watch the kind that's two women?\\
'''Ray:''' No way, man! I like watching a man and a woman makin' love.\\
'''Ron:''' Okay, do you like it best if the man is tiny and flaccid?\\
'''Ray:''' No way, man! I like big, hard, throbbing... Huh. I did not know that about myself.
* Jimmy Dore realized he was gay for Jude Law when he saw ''Film/TheTalentedMrRipley''.
-->'''Jimmy:''' Remember that other guy in it, Jude Law? Well, ever since I saw that movie...I think...I could be queer for him. And have never had a homosexual feeling ever in my life (that I ever acknowledged). I mean, he was ''beautiful'', he was prettier than the girls in that movie! And it caught me surprise; I'm watching the movie and I find myself going, "I wonder what he's gonna wear in the next scene. I hope it's linen. Ooooh, it's a pancake hat on a scooter! FRICKIN' '''HOT''', THIS GUY!"
* This an a lot more of male insecurities are the central theme in ''¿Quien Pidio Pollo?'', a stand up comedy by the colombian actor Antonio Sanint.
* Creator/BobcatGoldthwait admits this about actor Creator/RobLowe in his standup routine, and provided the page quote for the APrettyBoyIndex page.

* In VideoGame/TalesofSymphonia, an optional scene has both Raine and Colette commenting on Sheena's body, much to her embarrassment.

* According to the rules of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', any straight GenderBender becomes bisexual for the duration. Also, the "Female Variant Five" setting (and Ellen's 'Venus' beam based on it), in addition to turning [[AttractiveBentGender men into exceptionally beautiful women]] and making women more, er, [[MostCommonSuperpower "womanly"]], makes the victim [[LoveIsInTheAir extremely attractive to any non-relative]], whether they like girls or not, for 48 hours (of a 30-day duration). Unsurprisingly, these two things lead to ''lots'' of StupidSexyFlanders moments, most notably when [[spoiler:the revelation that it only lasts the first 48 hours causes a lesbian to come out of denial]]. And then there's Tedd without his glasses, a borderline WholesomeCrossdresser (albeit an unintentional one). However, Justin, who is gay, [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2005-07-03 doesn't actually think he's attractive]] to him (or other gay men).
** As explained in the comic, Ted is TOO girly for gay men(Well, Justin at least) to find attractive. Straight men, [[EvenTheGuysWantHim on the other hand...]]

* Franchise/SpiderMan, but only if you [[http://www2.b3ta.com/spidermanwillmakeyougay/ watch him dance]], apparently.
* This happens in ''Roleplay/DarwinsSoldiers'', to which Aimee mentions how she can see how Hailey thought that Subject 19 was cute.
* In his ''Film/IndependenceDay'' review, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic has this with Creator/WillSmith.
-->''[[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan (slaps himself)]]'' "BOOBS! You like BOOBS!"

--->[[ArousedByTheirVoice "God, I'd go gay for that voice."]]

* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', Dominique, Inquisitor Karamazov's literal right hand man, is sexually confused by {{Stripperiffic}} Fabulous Custodes.
-->Hey, Fyodor, we're surrounded again. But this time by a bunch of half-naked men. Its like a ruddy ocean of bare nipples and bulging muscles. ''It's making me moist''.
* [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]] wasn't worried about being gay, but a different sexual kink: He was just ranting against gamers who consider the underaged [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Rikku]] hot, when they slip in a pictue of a *ahem* well devloped cosplayer in a kinky Rikku costume, distracting Spoony for a moment before cursing the 'Stupid Sexy Cosplayers'.
* ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' does an annual [[{{MST}} review/mocking]] of photos of fan-made HSR costumes. In the 2005 edition, Strong Bad was baffled by a hot woman dressed in a Homestar costume. ("''Hot Homestar?!'' My brain is splitting in half!") He screams and runs away when the real Homestar walks in, offers him a back rub, and calls him "sweetie".
* During his review of ''[[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Ninja Gaiden 2]]'', [[WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation Yahtzee]] reminds us all that [[VideoGame/GearsOfWar Cliff Blezinsky]] is an extremely sexy man.
* [[WebVideo/FrothyPintOfMetal Happy Viking]] has this reaction to the members of ''Týr'', who like to play [[WalkingShirtlessScene shirtless]].
* There's some ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' [[http://blazinreshiram.deviantart.com/art/Stupid-Sexy-Flandre-202904122 fanart]] out there of Marisa thinking about [[IncrediblyLamePun stupid sexy Flandre]].
* Website/{{Cracked}}.com's columnists (male and female) seem to have a giant crush on fellow columnist Soren Bowie, sometimes seemingly using any excuse to include photos of him in an article.
* [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Dio]] getting this reaction from male fans is something of a running gag whenever he's brought up. ''Especially'' on Spacebattles.
* WebVideo/HonestTrailers: ''Film/TheHungerGames'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hp_xsUg9ws&feature=relmfu has the narrator doing this]] to Liam Hemsworth ("I'm not gay, but would [[CensoredForComedy *bleep* Gale's *bleep*]]).
* This trope is often the case with the [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ridiculously-photogenic-guy-zeddie-little 'Ridiculously Photogenic Guy' meme]]
* Duke Devlin from ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. This is what Joey Wheeler says of Duke: "What does he have that I don't got?...besides the fangirls?...and the pretty hair?...and those gorgeous green eyes?" Duke then reminds Joey about his "sweet ass", and Joey admits, "Yeah, and a sweet ass too! But other than that, he's got nothing!"
-->'''Male Narrator:''' Warning: This episode contains copious amounts of Duke Devlin. Women with heart conditions are advised to not look directly at Duke Devlin. This also applies to women without heart conditions; he's very pretty. See? See how pretty he is? He's very pretty. I'd like to run my fingers through his hair, and I'm just a voice.\\
'''Yami:''' ''(about Duke)'' Mustn't... look... directly at his face... So beautiful! No words to describe it... {{They should have sent a poet}}!
* Alucard in ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' has this reaction when he encounters the [[DudeLookslikeALady androgynous cat-boy Schrodinger.]]
-->'''Alucard''': Ah. The return of the "why?" boner.... ''With a vengance.''
