3----
4* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'': Whenever Newt tries to catch [[MsFanservice Minerva Mink]], her beauty takes his mind off his goal. Minerva has this effect even in the comics with every male, no matter their species.

7-->'''Miranda''': Now [[LesYay she's cute]].
8-->'''Courtney''': Focus!
9* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': In ''[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheFortuneTeller The Fortune Teller]]'', Aang makes Katara a necklace out of fishing line and a flower. When he sees her wearing it for the first time, his vision of her is glowing with light and studded with sparkles (even though no other aspect of her appearance had changed). When asked how she looks, Aang awkwardly replies:
10-->'''Aang''': All of you, or just your neck?
11* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': In the episode [[Recap/BatmanTheAnimatedSeriesE5PrettyPoison "Pretty Poison"]] when Pamela Isley exits the Rose Cafe with a [[SuperModelStrut sensual sway of her hips]] which causes every nearby guy to stop eating and/or talking, [[HeadTurningBeauty craning their necks to get a good look]] at the sexy redheaded knockout slinking off.
12* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'': In the episode "Night of the Huntress!", Blue Beetle is distracted by Huntress's sex appeal instead of having his head in the game during the fights:
13-->'''Blue Beetle:''' I'm sorry! Your hotness distracted me!!
14* ''[[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045550/ Ben and Me]]'': In this Creator/{{Disney}} Classic[[superscript:TM]] -- the story of how Benjamin Franklin owes all his inventions and wisdom to a mouse -- ol' lecherous Ben is ogling a young woman when the mouse yells out "Post, Ben! Post!" leading Ben to comment "Well, how do you do, Mr. Post?" shortly before smacking face-first into said post. Truth in Television; Mr. Franklin had an eye for the ladies.
15* ''WesternAnimation/TheBoondocks'': Hilariously used when Tom draws the attention of a prison inmate.
16* ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'': Happens in the episode "Double O Chipmunk": In one of the rare moments where Gadget acknowledges her own attractiveness, Chip has her take advantage of the ''very'' slinky red dress she's wearing to seduce a guard as part of his escape plan. [[ReluctantFanServiceGirl Gadget is not exactly thrilled by the idea, but relents because it's their only hope to escape.]]
17* ''WesternAnimation/CloseEnough'': In "Josh Gets Shredded", Josh starts working out after he puts his back out playing with his daughter. His wife Emily gets increasingly turned on by his new muscular body, so much so she has to put a bag of ice down her pants just to talk to him face-to-face to tell him he's neglecting his family with his constant bodybuilding without being overwhelmed with how hot she finds him now.
18-->'''Emily:''' Josh, we need to talk. [[FreudianSlip I'm horny- HAPPY]], that you've gotten so healthy. What I'm trying to sex is-- ''Shit!''
19* ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': When [[AlphaBitch Paulina]] was first introduced, they showed all sorts guys reacting to her like this. Oddly enough, that's the ''only'' time they did.
20* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'': At one point, Dexter gets so fed up with Dee Dee, he holds ''interviews'' to get a replacement. He winds up hiring a vixen who he can't do any work around.
21* ''WesternAnimation/TheDickTracyShow'':
22** At the end of the episode "Hawaiian Guy," Joe Jitsu radios to Tracy that the case is wrapped up but is now distracted by a "moving bush." He has his eyes on a hula girl in a grass skirt.
23** Likewise in "Smashing the Ring Ring," Joe is distracted by what sounds like a rather provocative feature in the nickelodeon he's viewing.
24** Heap O'Calorie was briefly distracted by a peep show in "Penny Ante Caper".
25** Go Go Gomez in "The Copy Cat Caper" is pulling down some maps from the four sides of the city to determine which bank Sketch Paree and the Mole are going to hit with Paree using a Dick Tracy mask. When he pulls down the southside map, it's actually a picture of a rather buxom girl with her phone number.
26* ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'': Nazz is the attractive popular girl admired by nearly all the boys in the cul-de-sac. While their infatuation with her is something of a running joke, the episode “Boys Will Be Eds” is built around the premise that they can’t speak clearly or even function fully in her presence, being so blinded by her beauty.
27* ''WesternAnimation/FiremanSam'': Happens when Trevor Evans crashes a bus in "Dilys's Forgetful Day", when he drives past Penny, the new girl in the Ponypandy fire service.
28* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'':
29** This is done mostly every time Amy Wong is wearing less than usual.
30** In ''Bender's Game'', during the parody of ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', one orc-thing climbing a ladder while assaulting the castle catch sight of Amy taking off her top through a window. Cue abundant drooling, which happens to be acidic and burns through the ladder's steps, sending him falling.
31** In "2-D Blacktop", Scruffy broke his spine by walking into the Planet Express ship while admiring Leela's breasts.
32* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': Mabel uses this trope to create a diversion, after Dipper nearly catches her smuggling Mermando out of the pool:
33--> '''Mabel:''' Hey, look! Wendy in a bikini!
34--> '''Dippier:''' Really?! At night!?
35* ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'': Peter Potamus almost screws up his defense of Birdman when the stenographer's [[PoppingButtons blouse buttons start to pop off]].
36* ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'': Invoked by Mickey Mouse in the episode "Clarabelle's Big Secret" when he attempts to prevent Clarabelle Cow from revealing the secret by distracting her with Horace Horsecollar, who is in his underwear while striking a manly pose.
37* ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'': Whenever their neighbor and longtime crush Gil appears, Susan and Mary Test go from rational, genius scientists to utterly soppy girls in love and can hardly take their eyes off him, even if he’s doing the most mundane of activities (just hearing his voice can have a similar effect).
38* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': Invoked in the BaseballEpisode, where Stumpy's team distracts Quack Quack while he's playing by having his girlfriend stand next to the pitch.
39* ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'': In "[[Recap/KingOfTheHillS5E15LuanneVirgin20 Luanne Virgin 2.0]]", Luanne gets baptized in a lake as part of her born-again virgin initiation. She was wearing white and had on underwear. Hilarity Ensues when she runs out of the lake, wet robe clinging to her as she screams "I'm a virgin!", causing a nearby guy to get smacked in the head with a Frisbee disc.
40* ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleRascals'': In the 30-second short "Out on a Limb", while pushing Spanky in a swing, Alfalfa is so distracted by Darla's sudden appearance that he doesn't realize that Spanky is tangled around a tree branch.
41* ''WesternAnimation/TheMask'': A perfect example of this (though it can also count as ShowSomeLeg, depending on how you look at it) is seen in the episode "Flight as a Feather". After stripping two suicide belts off an exotic dancer named Cookie [=BaBoom=] (who crashed a ceremony held by the Mayor), The Mask sees Kellaway and Doyle coming to get him. The Mask then gets behind Cookie (who has been trapped in her own whirling dervish) and stops her so that way the front part of her naked body faces Kellaway and Doyle. The Mask escapes, Kellaway and Doyle melt like a Hershey's kiss on a hot skillet, and the Mayor smiles as he basks in the glow of his ex-girlfriend's humiliation. And this was all on a CHILDREN'S show (albeit one from the 1990s, when this kind of shock humor was in vogue).
42* ''WesternAnimation/{{Mr Bogus}}'': The title chracter, of all people, actually falls victim to this in the episode "[[{{Recap/MrBogusS2E7BogusPrivateEye}} Bogus Private Eye]]", with a female rat who enters his office to tell him about the crime organization that had arisen in the city.
43* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
44** In "Sonic Rainboom", some pegasus construction workers gawk at Rarity's magically-granted butterfly wings, and one of them ends up dropping the jackhammer he was working with off a cloud in his distraction.

46** In a flashback in "The Perfect Pear", Bright Mac (Applejack's father) and his friend Burnt Oak were having a plow race, and Bright Mac saw Pear Butter (Applejack's mother) in the next field... and accidentally ruined Grand Pear's water silo when veering off course.
47** In “Sparkle’s Seven”, a reluctant Rainbow Dash dresses up and lures Zephyr Breeze, who’s trying to be a royal guard and had a huge crush on her, away from his post as Rarity hopes it will help the others break in.
48* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'': In "Study Muffin", the Loud sisters can't get even get a sentence out when in the presence of Lincoln's tutor, their advances eventually chasing him away. It later turns out that Lincoln was flunking his exams and only needed a tutor to begin with because he has this reaction to a sexy substitute teacher.
49* ''WesternAnimation/OKKOLetsBeHeroes'': After the three month TimeSkip between seasons 1 and 2, Enid has become a mime, which she explains as special ninja training she got at community college. In the resultant {{Flashback}}, we see that she [[DescriptionCut walked through the wrong door at community college because she was distracted by a hot ninja guy]].
50* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': In the episode "I Scream, You Scream", Ferb's initial encounter with his PrecociousCrush, Vanessa, leads to him taking the plans she was picking up and vice-versa.
51-->'''Phineas:''' Hey Ferb, snap out of it! What happened back there?\
52'''Ferb:''' ...I was weak.
53* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'':
54** In the episode ''Mommy Fearest'', when Professor Utonium first encounters Ms. [[PunnyName Ima Goodlady]] [[spoiler:(actually the villain Sedusa in disguise)]], he freezes in place and can’t utter a coherent sentence for stuttering.
55** Large zig-zag in the debut episode of the Rowdyruff Boys, the seemingly defeated girls get some advice from Ms. Bellum in turning the tide. The girls completely disarm the boys with long, come-hither eyelashes, then they make the boys explode by kissing them.
56* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': Has a few moments of Mordecai reacting to seeing Margaret in various outfits, from him cutting off his sentence and drooling when he sees Margaret in a shirt which shows some generous {{sideboob}} in "Caffeinated Concert Tickets" to getting distracted by seeing her butt in tight jeans while playing basketball in "Slam Dunk".
57* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': In the episode "Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate", alien doctors need Jerry's penis [[ItMakesSenseInContext in order to save an old ruler.]] When Beth is given a catalog of prosthetic penises to choose from, she reads it like a Playgirl magazine.
58-->'''Jerry''': Hi, honey, so, here's the thing... these guys... they want to completely remove my penis and use it as an alien's heart. And we just need ''you'' to sign off on it.
59-->'''Beth''': ''[[BigWhat What?!]]''
60-->'''Jerry''': ''(to the Alien Doctors)'' Uh-oh. Maybe we got a problem here after all, guys. Yikes.
61-->'''Alien Doctor''': ''(to Beth)'' His penis will be replaced with a sophisticated prosthetic. Now, there's a wide range of options to choose from. They're all in this catalog. ''(gives Beth the catalog)''
62-->'''Beth''': I don't ''care'' about prosthetics. This is insane. What do you people think you're doing?
63-->'''Alien Doctor''': I understand your feelings, Mrs. Smith.
64-->'''Beth''': Oh, I don't think you do. I-I bring my husband in for emergency treatment, he's gone an hour, and now you want his ''penis'', ''(opens catalog)'' and you hand me some... catalog. ''(sees catalog's contents)'' [[RealisticDictionIsUnrealistic It's-it's-it's-it's-I mean...]]
65* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': While Jack and Ashi battle a dangerous monster with monstrous leeches, the leeches tear away at Ashi's leaf outfit. Jack sees her naked and is completely mortified, blushing like mad and stammering. Ashi, having been raised by an all-female cult and having quite possibly gone her entire life basically naked (if the sixth episode of the fifth season is anything to go by), doesn't get why Jack's suddenly acting so weird around her. Jack even drapes his gi on her, insisting that it will protect her from the creature (and it does).
66* ''WesternAnimation/ScaryLarry'': Victoria tries to hypnotize Frank, but he's distracted by her breasts.
67* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
68** In the episode "Bart After Dark", Homer attempts to chastise Belle for allowing Bart to work at her burlesque house, but has difficulty doing so while watching Princess Kashmir's exhibition.
69** "A Star Is Born Again": when Sara Sloane's wearing a somewhat revealing outfit, Homer drolls a little over her and drops his nachos when he trips over. He swaps between whining over his nachos and drooling over Sara's breasts.
70** In "Radio Bart", Homer gets so distracted by the sexy dancers on television that when Lisa asks for money to buy Bart a birthday present, he gives her over $110.
71* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': In "Sexual Healing", the testing to see if students have the disease involves looking at a suggestive picture and asking them what color handkerchief a women is holding. If the student answers "What handkerchief?", they are considered to be sex addicts.
72* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAndHisAmazingFriends'': When Peter Parker first meets Angelica Jones (whilst walking Ms. Lion), he has this reaction:
73-->'''Angelica:''' ''(referring to Ms. Lion)'' Well, somebody's found a friend.\
74'''Peter:''' You can say that again!\
75'''Angelica:''' Her name is Ms. Lion. I'm Angelica.\
76'''Peter:''' You sure are... I'm Peter Piper... Uh, P-Parker... Uh, Parker Peter--
77* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'': In "Temporal Edict", Ensign Mariner ''immediately'' halts her complaints about Commander Ransom (whom she has acknowledged earlier as [[{{Hunk}} being hot]]) when he picks her up in a BridalCarry. Being held in his big, strong arms and being next to his muscular bare chest are enough to shut up her legendary MotorMouth.
78* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'': When seeing an adult Marco in "Running With Scissors", Star barely acknowledge anything he's saying, being entirely focused on his six pack and muscles.
79* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': In the episode [[Recap/StevenUniverseS3E5HitTheDiamond "Hit the Diamond"]], [[OfficialCouple Ruby]] [[BattleCouple and]] [[FusionDance Sapphire]] suffer a mutual version of this. This is to everyone's annoyance, as it causes the former (who is supposed to be sabotaging the other side) to accidentally aid their opponents and the latter (who can literally see the future) to constantly miss hitting and catching the ball.
80* ''WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}}'':
81** In "Omens Part One", the first time Lion-O meets his BodyGuardCrush Cheetara his voice cracks. Lion-O later [[ExploitedTrope feigns]] this, using the sight of two passing women to avoid mentioning a vision he saw in the Sword of Omens.
82** In "Journey to the Tower of Omens" Lion-O, trying to master Sight Beyond Sight and failing, gets flustered when Cheetara tries a HandsOnApproach, taking him by the shoulders and telling him to relax.
83** In the same episode, Tygra openly [[LongingLook gapes]] at the sight of Cheetara using her SuperSpeed, which Panthro lampshades with a smirk and a chiding:
84-->'''Panthro:''' Close that mouth, you're drooling.
85* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
86** Lindsay is sent out to spy on Gwen in "[[Recap/TotalDramaNotQuiteFamous Not Quite Famous]]", but finds the task boring. Not boring is the sight of Tyler as he passes by wrapped in a yoyo cord. His butt is pointedly left unwrapped and the yoyo rhythmically taps underneath it with each awkward step. Lindsay ditches her task to make out with him.
87** Harold proves himself to be a tenacious camper during the skiing challenge in "[[Recap/TotalDramaXtremeTorture X-Treme Torture]]". Heather just can't get rid of him the fair way, so she resolves to cut the rope he's holding onto. It does not come to that, however, because a branch rips off her top. The result is that Harold loses after all due to being mesmerized by the sight of her bare breasts.
88** In an attempt to help Owen beat Gwen in the cliff crossing portion of the finale in "[[Recap/TotalDramaTheVeryLastEpisodeReally The Very Last Episode, Really!]]", Heather brings over supermodel Justin and takes off his shirt. His hotness does distract Gwen, but Owen, who has been lusting after Justin ever since he came to the island, is even more distracted.
89** Justin has a decent chance at the mechanical surfboard challenge in "[[Recap/TotalDramaBeachBlanketBogus Beach Blanket Bogus]]" because the sharks in the water below forget about their appetite at the sight of his shirtless beauty. Similarly, Chris temporarily forgets to shoot seagulls at him as part of the challenge. When he remembers to do so and Justin falls, the sharks make sure he gets out off the water safely.
90** In the uncut version of [[Recap/TotalDramaBroadwayBaby Broadway, Baby!]], the teams are climbing the Statue of Liberty and Cody becomes distracted by her anachronistic cleavage. He ends up slipping from the rope and falling headfirst into said cleavage (which Tyler hails as a "10-point landing") before being pulled out by Sierra.
91** Anne Maria, Zoey, and Brick are sent out in "[[Recap/TotalDramaIceIceBaby Ice Ice Baby]]" to capture the Toxic Rats' flag. Svetlana gets there before them due to her gymnastic skills, but her shirt rips open upon landing and Vito takes her place. He confidently claims the flag and when the other three Mutant Maggots arrive, Anne Maria can't keep her eyes off him, forgetting about the mission completely.
92** In "[[Recap/TotalDramaScarlettFever Scarlett Fever]]", Jasmine and Shawn are distracted by each other's athletic appeal when they are dodging the lasers. This leads to their first kiss, but their disregard for the lasers means they also set off the security system. Chris is not amused by Jasmine's and Shawn's hormone-driven idiocy and says so to Sky and Sugar.
93* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'':
94** This is used as a [[FunnyBackgroundEvent background gag]] in Season One's "Wild Style" once as a couple of guys walk into each other due to being focused on Sam.
95** "The Suavest Spy" is an episode where the spies have a mission to watch a charming and attractive jewel thief and they just always get distracted while doing that due to his good looks, and taken even further when him and Clover dance at a ball, he's also stealing the key to the world's most valuable jewel using ''Clover's gadget'', yet she doesn't even notice due to being too excited to dance with him.
96** This particular gag returns much later in Season 6's "Trent Goes Wild". A girl walks into a tree because she was too busy staring at a hotter version of the titular Trent (pictured above).
97* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'': Happens during Blackarachnia's first appearance. As soon as it is revealed that the giant, scary-looking alien spider is a giant, sexy-looking alien robot, Bulkhead and Bumblebee (who have apparently never seen a female of their species before) immediately drop their guard, which allows her to take them out.
98* ''WesternAnimation/TrippingTheRift'': Six. Practically anything she does will make a guy's jaw hit the floor.
99* ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'': In one episode, the X-Men are repairing their mansion. Scott Summers and Jean Grey distract each other. Jean almost smacks Storm with a statue she was levitating. Logan angrily orders Scott to pay attention.
