10[[SexTropes Sex sells]], but [[CensorshipTropes censors censor]]. Getting the goods to penetrate that blockade is [[DoubleEntendre hard]]. Then there's times that characters do ''[[TooKinkyToTorture really]]'' [[FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility twisty-turny stuff]], in front of a crowd! Stuff [[CensorSteam so steamy]], just telling it can get people flustered, and as for showing it, well, the MoralGuardians that don't {{faint|ing}} will break out the TorchesAndPitchforks.
11
12The solution? Let the audience TakeOurWordForIt. Keep the [[UnusualEuphemism limber lambada]] dancers off-screen and have [[ReactionShot witnesses tilt their heads]] or turn the magazine sideways, preferably with their mouths [[JawDrop agape]]. Their conversation may be vague about what is happening, yet still implying [[{{Fetish}} something kinky]] is happening, possibly at an oblique angle, and they can't take their eyes off it.
13
14->'''[[AliceAndBob Alice]]:''' Is that her--\
15'''[[AliceAndBob Bob]]:''' Yep.\
16'''Alice:''' And that's his--\
17'''Bob:''' With the [[NoodleImplements tea cozy]], yep.
18
19This avoids the problems of showing it on-screen and also gives the viewer's imagination (perverse) grounds for speculation.
20
21Occasionally happens with other weird events, as people tend to imitate others' actions subconsciously.
22
23Often resembles the [[QuizzicalTilt head-tilt that dogs frequently do when confused]].
24
25Makes for a great diversion [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy to get the guards distracted]]... and everyone else involved! Also comes in handy for RevengePornBlackmail.
26
27Compare ComicSutra, which creates similar kinky fun by suggesting something unspeakably obscene and letting the audience's imaginations fill in the details. Contrast QuizzicalTilt, when the head-tilt is caused by confusion rather than anything kinky.
28
29See NoodleIncident for the non-sexual version of this trope. See also StrangelyArousing, when characters get this reaction to things that would ''normally'' be considered non-sexual.

34
35[[folder:Advertising]]
36* Played straight in BT Broadband ads, where after running from a house with a slow connection to one using the above brand, something (unseen) appears on the screen, prompting this response and (to paraphrase) "no, guys, not on my stag night, she'd kill me!"
37* A Bud Light ad ends with one of these involving a debauched tourist, a customs officer, and a camera that has to be rotated 90 degrees.
38* Appears in a ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier''-themed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv9Ma7RziAY ad]] for Sky Broadband's internet security system (conveniently enough, called Shield): Nick Fury orders a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to bring up the files on the Winter Soldier, then protests "''That'' is ''not'' the Winter Soldier!" While he rails about how this would never happen if they had Sky Broadband Shield, the agent turns back to the unseen screen and tilts her head.
39* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drmeHg2VuTo In this Diet Rite Commercial,]] the female reporter [[ReactionShot does this]] when she [[FemaleGaze admires]] the naked football player's [[RagingStiffie erect penis]].
40[[/folder]]
41
42[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
43* Partially used in an episode of ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' since you can see parts of the images in question. Revy and Rock are talking to a very bored Balalaika while she's editing porn videos.
44-->'''Revy:''' Hold on a sec! Is she takin' it up the ass?\
45'''Balalaika:''' ''[completely deadpan]'' ...Sure is.
46* Erza does this in ''Manga/FairyTail'' when she sees Lucy's naughty underwear. She gives a similar reaction when she finds S&M equipment in one of the rooms at her dorm.
47* In the ''Manga/LoveHina'' manga, Kanako dresses Mutsumi up as Keitaro for a role-play exercise (ItMakesSenseInContext). Mutsumi is quick to point out that she has not left any detail untouched by lifting the robe she's wearing. The reactions of Naru, Shinobu, and Motoko are this combined with bug eyes.
48* In ''Anime/SamuraiChamploo'', when Mugen is looking at an ukiyo-e catalogue. In the English dub, he says "Damn, doin' it with a squid!" Clearly a reference to ''The Fisherman's Wife'', so imagination might not be needed so much.
49* Belnika in ''Manga/RaveMaster'' when she sees Haru naked.
50[[/folder]]
51
52[[folder:Comic Books]]
53* ''ComicBook/TheBlackRing'': Whatever Lex Luthor's fantasies are, they're enough to momentarily startle [[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 Death]], who has quite literally SeenItAll.
54* In ComicBook/HarleyQuinn's ''New 52'' series, she and Poison Ivy go to the movies in one issue. They (and the rest of the theater) do this while watching a pastiche of ''Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey''.
55[[/folder]]

57[[folder:Fan Works]]
58* One random ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' fanfic called ''[[http://florestica.com/dbsommer/azumanga/se/index.htm Sex Education]]'' brings up the consequences of Minamo-sensei's drunken sex-ed lesson from the anime when Chiyo-chan mentions part of it (she doesn't know) in an actual sex-ed class. Nyamo is promptly called up to the office to speak to the principal and ends up demonstrating to a skeptical principal that it ''is'' possible for a woman to, quote, "'''expletive deleted''' her '''expletive deleted''' with her '''expletive deleted'''" ("after a few minutes of contortionism, Minamo unwound her limbs, satisfied that she'd proved her point"). The principal is promptly transformed into "a copy of Kimura, right down the fogged up glasses and detached jaw", and develops a convenient [[TraumaInducedAmnesia episode of amnesia]].
59-->'''Minamo:''' My gym coach in high school said I had a slinky for a spine...
60* ''Featherbrite's Tale'', an entry in Gregg Sharp/Metroanime's Bet series (based on ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf''), describes a... spicy dream to the audience, replacing the {{NSFW}} parts with phrases like, "Oh ''boy'' is that censored."
61* In the {{Crossover}} ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2544224/1/CSI_Death_by_Chocolate CSI: Death by Chocolate]]'', Greg Sanders has this reaction to adult Violet Beauregard, now a contortionist in the Cirque du Soleil, combing her hair. With her feet. From behind.
62* An omake-turned-full-fic by the author of ''Fanfic/InFlight'' ends with Shirou and Miya getting intimate on Izumo House's veranda. Matsu and two others seeing them on a camera feed all proceeded to tilt their heads to the side while watching.
63* One particular scene from the ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' fic, ''Fanfic/AhArchfall''. In Belldandy's own words: "Oh my! I didn't know Lind made ''that'' kind of noise!"
64* In a ''very'' NSFW ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'' minicomic, Aphrodite tells Kratos to petrify the Minotaurs using the head of Medusa. Well, after what Kratos does with the head of Medusa, the Minotaurs ''[[ExactWords are]]'' petrified.
65* Early in Act 2 of ''Fanfic/TheNextFrontier'', [[VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram the Kerbals]] [[AliensStealCable monitor local TV broadcasts]] as prep for FirstContact. They find a porn channel:
66--> "Is this what I think it is?" Bob said slowly, tilting his head slightly to get a better view.\
67"Yes. Yes, it is."\
68"Oh. Well, that's... different."
69* ''Fanfic/BadPress'': The majority of the fanfics Megatron and Starscream read are heavily implied to be explicit in nature. What happens in said fanfiction goes unseen aside from the pair's baffled reactions to some of the more outlandish elements.
70-->'''Starscream:''' ... oil ''there?'' ... ''Optimus Prime?'' I would ''never''--
71* In a ''VideoGame/Persona3'' [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/30094038/chapters/74397471 fic]], an undisclosed EroticDream leaves Akihiko too embarrassed to even ''look'' at a protein shake afterward.
72* Invoked in the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' fic "[[http://offline.buffy.de/outlink_en.php?module=/webserver/offline/www.landofdenial.com/fic/Kendra/wildhorses.html Wild Horses are Wild Things Too]]", where Angel and Buffy are experiencing a shared hallucination of having sex with each other while Buffy is in a sealed-off part of a frat house while Wes and Cordelia take the unconscious Angel to Sunnydale. As the Scoobies are forced to witness Angel's side of the sexual encounter, Anya offers various observations based on her own knowledge of sex, such as commenting that Angel must both love Buffy a lot and be extremely flexible to attempt a certain sexual position.
73[[/folder]]
74
75[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
76* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'', with some adorable forest critters watching Marge and Homer do the horizontal tango. That, or they are in severe need of BrainBleach.
77[[/folder]]
78
79[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
80* [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in ''Film/TheArtOfWar''. Wesley Snipes's character is getting blackmail material on a Chinese general, as a hostess gives him a blowjob under the table. There's a male/female team at MissionControl; the woman says how disgusting the general is, [[AllMenArePerverts while the man tilts his head to look]]. In this case, however, it's not because the action is in an odd position, but because the camera image is (Wes is holding the camera under the table).
81* ''Film/BramStokersDracula'' has Lucy and Mina looking at an illustrated copy of the Kama Sutra, turning the book in several different directions. The trope is somewhat subverted, as most of the pictures are shown on-camera, except for the penultimate one, which had Mina turn the book and ask Lucy "Can a man and a woman really do... ''that?''
82* ''Film/CheechAndChongsNextMovie'' lays this apparently straight at first, then shows you what the character was looking at. Kinky? Yes. Sexual? Not terribly. Weird? '''You better believe it!'''
83* The donkey show in ''Film/ClerksII''.
84-->'''Becky:''' I'm disgusted and repulsed and... and I can't look away.
85* ''Film/{{Clue}}'': The photos of Col. Mustard's rendezvous at Miss Scarlet's specialized hotel.
86-->'''Mrs. White:''' Oh my. No one could get into that position.\
87'''Professor Plum:''' Sure they can. Here, let me show you. ''[as he grabs and tries to lift Mrs. White's leg]''\
88'''Mrs. White:''' Get off me!
89* ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' plays with the trope when the Golgothan throws down with a crew of gang-bangers in such a way that the heroic onlookers tilt their heads as if trying to understand the combat.
90* ''Film/GalaxyQuest'' does a variation of this when [[InterspeciesRomance Fred Kwan and Laliari]] are going at it and [[GlamourFailure Laliari's disguise fails]], revealing her tentacles.
91-->'''Guy:''' Oh! That's not ''[[SickAndWrong right]]''!
92* In the 1941 production of ''Theatre/TheManWhoCameToDinner'', Jimmy Durante as Harpo Marx expy Banjo madly flirts with Whiteside's nurse, at one point telling her "Meet me in my room in five minutes, an' bring a ''rye bread''!"
93* In ''Film/QuestForFire'', two neanderthals witness their friend receive some IntimateHealing, causing them to drop the fruit they were carrying.
94* In ''Film/{{Sneakers}}'', Marty (Creator/RobertRedford) is conducting surveillance on a scientist, who's in his apartment. The scientist's girlfriend comes over, and as they start making out, she exclaims passionately "Let's do what we did in Mexico City!" Marty looks through the camera and mutters, "I didn't know they could do '''that''' in Mexico City."
95* ''Film/SuperTroopers'' gives us Mac's "Halloween Costume."
96-->''[Rabbit can be heard making weird sounds of pleasure with bear grunts punctuating]''\
97'''Cop 1:''' Is the guy...?\
98''[beat]''\
99'''Cop 2:''' Is the bear...?
100* In ''Film/UpTheChastityBelt'', Scheherazade is looking at an illustration in the ''Kama Sutra'':
101-->'''Scheherazade:''' That's impossible! ''[tilts head]'' Or is it?
102* Weirdly inverted, in Maurizio Nichetti's ''Volere Volare'': the head-tilt is inspired not by the porn movie playing offscreen but by the bizarre (to say the least) sound effects applied to same by a Foley artist who normally does cartoons.
103* ''Film/WhatsNewPussycat'' ends up at a rendezvous hotel where the suites are named for famous lovers - the concierge gets a call and tells her husband "The gentleman in 'Marquis de Sade' asks for twelve loaves of bread and a Boy Scout uniform!" Peter O'Toole's lothario character chokes on his drink.
104* Implied in the Dudley Moore vehicle ''Film/WhollyMoses''; the Sodomites' orgies are off-screen, but ''Herschel's'' own head literally tilts as he watches them.
105[[/folder]]
106
107[[folder:Literature]]
108* In ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' Jerin is asked whether it is true that is grandfather was trained in "The Paths of Pleasure" and passed this knowledge to him. He is very embarrassed as it is ''not'' an appropriate topic of conversation, but eventually admits that his father and grandfather gave him TheTalk, and he sort of knows what it's all about. [[spoiler:When another character mentions that Jerin can do "magic" (talking about magic tricks, it's low fantasy), the woman who had sex with him immediately thinks of their encounter and hopes that he didn't do ''that'' in front of the children]].
109* In one ''Literature/CiaphasCain'' ('''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!''') novel, the title character enters the hideout of a Slaanesh cult and the walls are covered with pornographic artwork prompting the following exchange:
110-->'''Penlan:''' I don't believe that's possible.\
111'''Cain:''' It's not, and even if it was it would be against regulations.
112* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}''
113** The actual contents of ''The Joy of Snackes'', Nanny Ogg's "cookbook" in ''Literature/{{Maskerade}}'' (which has recipes like ''Oyster and Carrot Pie'': carrots so you can see in the dark, oysters so you have something to look at) are only alluded to. But when Granny reads it, in increasing disbelief and shock, there does come a moment (Humorous Cake Decorations; Nanny illustrated that bit) when she has to turn it sideways.
114** The actual ''Nanny Ogg's Cookbook'' is filled with these, for the reader, in the form of editor notes. Including one that is a head nod to the "Joye of Snacks" and other works by Ogg, including "Mother Ogg's Tales for Tiny Folk" with the story "The Little Man Who Grew Too Big". Finally, the sections "meaning of flowers" and "Etiquette in the Bedroom" are covered in notes, leaving random lines to sneak through, or removed completely.
115** In ''Literature/{{Pyramids}}'', the highly trained but (it's implied) virginal handmaiden Ptraci gets professionally interested in a sailor's pornographic tattoos: "That's from ''101 days in Pseudopolis'', it's physically impossible... Oh look, it's the Congress of the Friendly Dog and the Two Small Biscuits! You can even see the yoghurt!"
116* In ''Literature/DragonBones'' the protagonists find some ancient paintings in a temple ruin, and take a special interest in one where the people seem to have "lots of fun". Ward comments that some of the positions seem quite dangerously acrobatic. Oreg replies that, maybe, it is worth the risk.
117* ''Literature/ElementalAssassin'': In ''Spider's Bite'', Gin finds some photographs of Giles Gordon engaged in sex with prostitutes:
118-->"Giles had been a little more serious about his prostitute predilection than Fletcher's file had let on. I turned one of the photos sideways. [[FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility More flexible, too.]]"
119* The Tom Wolfe novel ''A Man in Full'' has multiple references to "that thing with the cup." Exactly what this is is never specified, but it is implied to be a particularly interesting "talent" of a female character.
120* Creator/TanyaHuff's ''[[Literature/SmokeAndShadows Smoke]]'' series includes a guy who has found a pornographic deck of cards. One particular card makes him exclaim that he doesn't think that's ''possible'', and another character replies that "It's possible, but the second woman has to be [[FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility very flexible]] and he's going to have a sore back later." Cue bogglement.
121* ''Literature/YoungWizards'': In ''A Wizard Alone'', Kit's sister watches a lot of alien television channels. Their parents can't make head nor tail of them but like one particularly soothing channel. They quickly realize their mistake.
122* The SF "Worlds Apart" by Richard Cowper contains a scene with a) jelly beans, b) slurping noises, and c) a very prudish wife of the protagonist who probably has d) a mind-shattering orgasm and never forgives the hero for that. Since the whole book is a MindScrew, it's up to the reader's interpretation anyway.
123* "Und Jimmy ging zum Regenbogen" by Austrian author Johannes Mario Simmel. The whore tells the protagonist a LongList of fetishes the big heads of the top class are fond of...stuff we can only guess since it's up par to the [[Creator/EdwardGorey Lithuanian Typewriter]]. (If you have an idea what hoods, saws, fiver pyramids, hedgehog-and-hare, the Little Sandman and water women signify, please edit this description. No wild guesses please.)
124* "Ich mach's dir mexikanisch" ("I do it Mexican Style") is sort of the German equivalent of the aforementioned Lithuanian Typewriter (except for the Gorey translation, which invented the Mongolian Double-Drawer), with books by Doris Lerche or Christoph Gutknecht. A prostitute once offered it to an author, who reported that unfortunately he never asked or tried. (Given that, as another investigative reporter found out, "Greek" evaluated to "normal, with Vicky Leandros background music", maybe he wasn't that unfortunate...)
125[[/folder]]
126
127[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
128* ''Series/ThirtyRock'' is always hinting at kinky hijinks between Tracy and his wife.
129** One episode has them start going at it with Liz still in the room, prompting Liz to ask in shock, "Oh no, you guys start with that?"
130** Another episode has Jack Donaghy look out Liz's window, prompting him to say, "Wow, that man appears to be making violent, passionate love... to himself." Followed by "You have to admire his stamina," and "Is he in a board meeting?"
131* On ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun'', an alien whom the Big Giant Head assigned to be Dick's wife (played by Series/{{Roseanne}} of all people) goes through a book titled ''The Joy of Sex'' with [[ReallyGetsAround Mrs. Dubcek]]. She shows Mrs. Dubcek diagrams in the book, each time asking "Have you done ''that''?" with increasing amazement as Mrs. Dubcek keeps replying in the affirmative. The last time, Mrs. Dubcek turned the book upside down and looked at it for a {{beat}} before again saying yes.
132* ''Series/AgathaRaisin'':
133** At the end of "Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley", Agatha brings home a copy of the nude yoga DVD. As she and Gemma sit down to watch it, they immediately start tilting their heads at an odd angle.
134** In "Agatha and the Wizard of Evesham", Agatha finds a folder of sexual photographs the VictimOfTheWeek had been using for {{blackmail}}. On finding one particular photo, she exclaims "Maggie Henderson! <{{beat}}> How does she do that?" as she squints and tilts the photo.
135* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': In the 6th season episode "Inescapable", [[OfficialCouple Fitz and Simmons]] are wired into a mind prison where their thoughts are given life. During the episode, they both have to face their inner demons (The Doctor, the evil Fitz from the Framework, and Nightmare Simmons, a zombie-like version of Simmons who represents her own darker side). Finally, Fitz and Simmons prepare to face off against their darker sides... only to see the Doctor and Nightmare Simmons getting freaky together. They find themselves quite intrigued by the sight.
136-->'''Fitz:''' What... The hell?\
137'''Simmons:''' Okay... okay...\
138'''Fitz:''' Didn't know you liked that.\
139'''Simmons:''' Didn't know you'd ''do'' that.
140* ''Series/AllInTheFamily'': Archie once accidentally gives Edith a ''Playgirl'' to read. She tilts her head while watching a picture, then turns the magazine upside down.
141* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': Wesley's reaction to some blackmail photos of a client's antics at a demon brothel. When Angel points out that he's looking at the picture upside-down, Wes almost faints.
142* The short-lived sequel to ''Series/BabylonFive'', ''Series/{{Crusade}}'', has {{Jerkass}} anthropologist Eilerson accidentally slip Captain Gideon some human/alien porn because he was too lazy to type out a report or realize he was recording over some of his PornStash let alone erase it first. Most fans of the series will give a FascinatingEyebrow at the ''names alone'' - "Snow White and the Seven Narns," "Who's Your Little pak'ma'ra"... but the ''really'' kinky part [[AllThereInTheManual must be looked up]]; pak'ma'ra have truly BizarreSexualDimorphism: half of the species is actually immobile and '''permanently attaches itself to the humanoid's back.''' A pak'ma'ra's "sex" organs would be at the base of its ''neck''. The ship's doctor mentions that this makes the entire concept absurd; cue the Head Tilt. Gideon fiddles with the data crystal in front of Eilerson just to screw with him for much of the episode, and the final payoff involves using it to [[WeNeedADistraction distract]] some [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy prison guards]] during a daring rescue. Perhaps too well, as even the thief was distracted to the point of head tilt!
143-->'''Captain Matthew Gideon:''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EvVW1EPX24 That's an amazing thing, technology.]]
144* In an episode of ''Series/{{Becker}}'', Margaret and Linda accidentally come across porn on the Internet. After a few clicks, they tilt their heads to try and figure out what's going on. In another episode, Bob writes a check for Reggie, and Reggie is surprised to see a "woman" on it. Bob explains it's actually three women and a donkey, and if you flick it they move.
145* In the ''[[Series/{{Blackadder}} Blackadder II]]'' episode "Money," there's that scene in the finale (we never get to actually ''see'' the painting, of course):
146-->''[the Bishop (the Baby-eating Bishop of Bath and Wells) is stunned by the painting and turns sideways to get it in perspective]''\
147'''Bishop:''' By the horns of Beelzebub! How did you get me into that position?\
148'''Blackadder:''' And it's so beautifully framed, don't you think? Which is ironic, really, because that's exactly what's happened to you!\
149[...]\
150'''Bishop:''' Yes, yes, but first, one question: Who is the second figure? Who could you have got to perform such deeds, to have gone lower than man has ever gone, to have plunged the depths of degradation in order to save your filthy life?\
151''[the Bishop pulls back the sheet; it is Percy; he shifts uncomfortably]''
152* In Episode 5.15 of ''Series/{{Bones}}'', the non-forensic subplot revolves around the sex act described on "page 187" of Brennen's latest book, which is apparently so unique and impressive that [[spoiler:Hodgins claims that it could '''only''' have come from Angela describing their sex life -- and is proven correct]].
153* In ''Series/{{Bottom}}'', Richie and Eddie come across (pun in no way intended) a sex video of the (then) Prime Minister, John Major. Lots of head-tilt occurs as do a lot of horrified faces.
154-->"'''''Don't sit on his face. He can't breathe!'''''"\
155"I wish I had a mum like that..." (ItMakesSenseInContext)\
156"Beat that fever right out of him!"
157* In ''Series/BrooklynNineNine,'' [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Scully]] manages to get a date with his "female counterpart," a woman named Cindy. [[DatePeepers Amy and Gina watch,]] and react this way when their date turns romantic... by their standards, anyway.
158-->'''Amy:''' No, Scully, don't put your finger in her mouth... ...Oh!... She likes it!...
159* In ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', over the protests of her sister and friends, Dawn opens up one of Giles' guidebooks on demons, and remarks, "That's a weird place for a horn.... that's not a horn." She then quickly closes the book. After a few seconds, she opens it again for another look.
160* ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'':
161** The [[ProtagonistTitle title character]] and ThoseTwoGuys are seen staring at a web site, questioning "How is that position even possible?" with identical head-tilts. Further head-tilting is provoked when the lead female detective glimpses at the screen and matter-of-factly states "Oh it's possible."
162--->'''Beckett:''' Only a handful of bondage shops in the city do custom work. So let's take photos of those cuffs, send it out, see if anyone can I.D. where it came from.\
163'''Castle:''' Only a handful of shops? Okay, what aren't you telling me?\
164'''Beckett:''' So much, Castle. So very, very much.
165** At another time...
166--->'''Castle:''' Hmm, you know, you should moonlight. Seriously, you would make a fortune. Come on. Haven't you ever wanted to do... something with your handcuffs other than arrest criminals?\
167'''Beckett:''' No. But there is one hot... wild... kinky thing that I do like doing.\
168''[Castle's elbow slips off the table; his chin hits the table too]''\
169'''Becket:''' Putting killers behind bars.\
170'''Castle:''' See? You're already a tease. You're halfway there.
171** In Set Up," Beckett holds up a large pair of bolt cutters (in a rather flirty pose) prior to trying a storage unit door. Castle comments, for reasons he won't explain, that looks quite hot.
172* ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' gives us a live-witness version. Leo and Piper are in the club on a rowdy night with quite a few scantily clad girls dancing on podiums. Leo tilts his head and says "Can you do that in public?"
173* ''Series/{{Columbo}}'': In "The Conspirators", Columbo is in a bookstore waiting for one of the sales clerks to get back to him. He picks up a book titled ''A New History of Erotic Art'' and starts leafing through it. After a few seconds, he stops and peers intently at a page, then turns the book round. Getting a disapproving look from a customer, he puts the book back but then returns to it a few moments later.
174* ''Series/{{Community}}'':
175** In "[[Recap/CommunityS2E09ConspiracyTheoriesAndInteriorDesign Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design]]", Jeff and Annie chase a mystery professor into Troy and Abed's blanket-fort village. During the pursuit, they momentarily stop short at a chamber where Britta is lounging contentedly with an odd assortment of half-dressed, mask-wearing, face-painted denizens.
176** In "[[Recap/CommunityS2E14AdvancedDungeonsAndDragons Advanced Dungeons and Dragons]]", Annie, playing "Hector the Well-Endowed", uses her turn to seduce an elf maiden (played by Abed) for a favor. She's easily the least sexually experienced member of the group, but her lengthy description of her moves (unheard to us, but played out with hand gestures) has the rest of the group in stunned, often alarmed silence. Troy starts taking notes.
177* Though there isn't anything particularly kinky implied, in one episode of ''Series/{{Coupling}}'', all of the characters go to watch sex tapes that [[TheCasanova Patrick]] made with his conquests and pretty much watch them nonchalantly while making commentary. There is an anguished cry of "She's never done that with '''''me'''''!" from Steve when he [[spoiler:thinks he]] is watching the tape of Susan. What she is allegedly doing is never discovered. [[spoiler:It's not Susan, as she indignantly points out to the oblivious men. Her bottom is smaller, for starters]].
178* An episode of ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' has Danny and Hawkes find a sex tape during an investigation, recorded over a walrus documentary. PlayedWith as the audience gets glimpses of the tape, but downright hilarious as Adam (the AV LabRat) and Lindsay are also tilting their heads at the footage.
179-->'''Lindsay:''' Who's the other walrus?
180* From ''Series/DharmaAndGreg'', while Dharma is recovering from physical therapy, they go ask their doctor if they can still have sex.
181-->'''Dharma:''' ''[hands over a book with [presumably] pictures]'' Can we still do this?\
182'''Doctor:''' Could you do this before?\
183'''Dharma:''' I'm a yoga instructor.\
184'''Doctor:''' Yeah, but he's just a lawyer.\
185''[Doctor skims through book in shock]''
186* ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'': In the episode "Love is a Battlefield", this is Barry and Iris’s reaction when former lovers Amunet Black and Goldface mend their broken relationship [[EvilVersusEvil mid-fight]] and start a heavy make-out session (which is strongly implied to rapidly develop into something else offscreen).
187* In one episode of ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', Uncle Phil has joined a monastery after Hilary posed for Playboy against his wishes (even though Hugh Hefner promised the photos would be "tasteful"). Will pays him a visit with the issue in question. When Phil opens the issue, he finds that Hilary's naughty bits are obscured by an article title, and proclaims "She's covered up! Hallelujah!" Then Will pulls out the centerfold and says, "But she ain't." The two tilt their heads, and both respond with "... Hallelujah."
188* ''Series/{{Friends}}:'' Phoebe's (sister's) porn, ''[[ParallelPornTitles Buffay the Vampire Layer]]'' sparked this too. Also shows up a bit with the pose in question being passed around on a yellow pad (either legal or post-it), provoking remarkably candid comments.
189* One episode of ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' has Rory and Logan fighting and Paris and Doyle broken up. When Rory learns about the latter, she goes over to Paris's apartment, hoping to take advantage of the situation to move in with Paris (since she no longer wants to live with Logan). Both boys eventually show up, and Rory goes into the hall with Logan while Paris and Doyle talk in the apartment. Rory and Logan patch things up, but when she goes to tell Paris, she opens the door, immediately closes it and turns back to Logan.
190-->'''Logan:''' What's wrong?\
191'''Rory:''' Either they made up, or Krav Maga[[note]]A form of martial art that Paris and Doyle are learning for self-defense[[/note]] is way kinkier than I thought it was!
192* ''Series/TheGoldenGirls'':
193** In "Adult Education", Blanche reports a teacher for sexual harassment. The dean takes out a form and begins to ask questions about the incident. He stops at one of them, saying "Good Lord, I can't ask you this! I can't even ask my wife this! ''[tilts head]'' I'd like to, though..."
194** In "Isn't It Romantic?", Sophia rents a porno movie [[DirtyOldWoman allegedly by accident]] and they all end up looking, with varying reactions.
195--->'''Dorothy:''' What are they ''doing''?\
196'''Sophia:''' You know what they're doing; we had [[TheTalk that talk]] when you were twelve.\
197''[after they put the tape on fast-forward]''\
198'''Rose:''' It reminds me of my Uncle Ricky's rabbit farm!\
199''[after they accidentally put the tape in reverse]''\
200'''Blanche:''' Oh, I did that once! ''[the others stare at her]'' [[DefensiveWhat What]]? It was his birthday.
201* ''Series/GreysAnatomy'' has an episode where a patient uses porn for pain management. The girls do the head-tilt while checking out the video, and one of them comments, "There's no way that can be comfortable." Meredith replies "Trust me, it's not."
202* ''Series/HermansHead'': Done as a RunningGag in the episode where Herman moves into Jay's apartment, and in the skyscraper across from them, an attractive woman does her yoga exercises in the nude. "Boy is she limber!"
203* In the ''Series/TheHoganFamily'', Sandy finds the pornographic video Mark and Willie rented and practically turns upside down when watching it.
204* In ''Series/HopeAndFaith'', Faith provides the Gooch with a diagram of a position she wants them to try. He turns the piece of paper upside down and remarks "I don't think I bend that way."
205* In "House Training," a third-season episode of ''Series/{{House}}'', Wilson unwittingly takes Cuddy to a fetish photo exhibit at an art gallery. Their head-tilt moment includes statements like "That is such a bad idea! There is no way that won't cause damage to the large intestine" from Cuddy and "Is that a bicycle pump?" from Wilson.
206* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':
207** During the episode "The Bracket," Barney shows the other characters a scrapbook of his conquests -- very specific attributes of theirs, which apparently does not include their faces. Though we never see the pictures, they apparently include "some minor celebrities, one government official, and what appears to be a national fast-food chain mascot." The government official is elsewhere established to be Madeleine Albright, but the mascot is left to our imaginations. [[spoiler:It's stated in one of the commentaries that it's meant to be Wendy]].
208** Variations of this happen in several episodes since Future Ted doesn't want his kids to know too many of the details.
209* ''Series/{{JAG}}'' Harriet and Bud are in a hotel enjoying a weekend together and mention a couple times they're going to rent ''Film/FreeWilly''. They get in bed and turn the movie on only for Harriet to quickly point out that Bud rented ''Free The Willy''. Both then tilt their heads in unison almost 90 degrees.
210* A ''Series/JonathanCreek'' special had a sub-plot about [[{{Jerkass}} Adam Klauss]] investing in a company making 3-D porn. At one point, he demonstrates it to Jonathan, shown on-screen by the pair of them doing synchronised head-tilts while suggestive sound effects are played. The FridgeLogic on that was particularly bad, considering that following the sound of a zipper being undone, both men lean apart and look inwards...
211* ''Series/TheKingOfQueens'' features the Heffernans' photos getting mixed up with those belonging to another couple with a similar last name. The second time it happens, the other couple's photos are full of sex acts, which Doug tries to get Carrie to do with him. "You want me to do this?" "And this. And this. And assuming we can find the right kind of chair, this."
212* The ColdOpen for a fifth-season episode of ''Series/LawAndOrder'' takes place at the tail end of a bachelor party. Two of the men comment on a porno off-screen.
213* ''Series/LouGrant'' had two reporters going undercover as a married couple, staying at a sleazy motel which had porn on the television which they couldn't turn off. Joe (the male reporter) was watching the television avidly, with Billie (the female reporter) making snide comments about "That's not sexy; that's just foolish," etc.At one point Billie stops, tilts her head, and says, "Now ''that's'' sexy..."
214* ''Series/MadAboutYou''. When watching their HomePornMovie, Jamie and Paul do this, marveling, "How did we do that?"
215* ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'':
216** Steve and Marcy, in the episode "I'll see you in court," get this reaction when the court orders a tape of them having sex to be shown (it was a case in which a hotel has been covertly recording their guests and then rented it out to other guests), with a brief mention of handcuffs.
217** Earlier, when Al and Peg watch the tape, Peg comments: "Whoa, I didn't know a human leg could do that. Oh, I want that! Oh, and I want that! And I '''''definitely''''' want that!" They also both do the head-tilt.
218* A ''Series/{{MASH}}'' episode has Col. Flagg enlisting Winchester to try and come up with evidence that Hawkeye is a Communist spy. While rummaging through Hawkeye's things, Winchester comes across one of his nudist magazines and reacts this way. It wasn't just tilting his head -- he tilts the magazine too, and still doesn't seem to understand just how what he's seeing is possible.
219* ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'': After a holiday where the Kenarvans have been either throwing passive-aggressive insults to each other or outright yelling behind doors, Lois tells Kitty that they should try to solve their problems. Kitty goes to Abe's room and they start yelling again... and then we hear someone slamming against the wall and something breaking. Lois goes try to calm them, but after opening the door, she quickly closes back and runs off.
220-->'''Lois:''' Oh my God! Sorry! I thought you were fighting!
221* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'':
222** In "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS8E2 Dead in the Water]]", Barnaby is watching a pornographic video that was used to blackmail one of the suspects. Joyce walks in and asks him what he's watching. As he tells her, she starts tilting her head with her eyes glued to the screen. She then asks him if he fancies an early night.
223** The footage of Jenny Frazer in "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS12E3 Secrets and Spies]]", going off Jones's facial reactions.
224* In the ''Series/{{Monk}}'' episode "Mr. Monk's Favorite Show," Natalie and Lt. Discher react with alarm at the lurid descriptions of a former TV star's sexual relationships, describing what they're reading in very vague terms (the phrase "Is that even physically possible?" comes up at one point).
225* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'':
226** A sketch where a children's TV presenter reading a series of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MstyFwhLy4 stories]] which invariably turn pornographic. "Discipline? Naked? ''[turns the book sideways]'' ...with a ''melon''?"
227** They also have something similar in the audio version of the famous "Blackmail" sketch. During the portion where the video is shown, the presenter says things like "Is that a chicken? No, it's just the way she's holding the grapefruit," and "That certainly doesn't ''look'' like his mother..."
228--->''"£3000 please, to stop us revealing your name, the names of the three other people involved, the youth organization to which they belong, and the shop where you bought the equipment!"''
229* Occurs in ''Series/MyHero2000'' when George and Janet read a lewd diagram of what one woman would like to do to Thermoman.
230* ''Series/MyLifeIsMurder'': In "Fake Empire", Alexa and Madison are looking at photos the VictimOfTheWeek took of himself and his mistress. Madison cocks his head to one side, then asks:
231-->'''Madison:''' How does he get his leg in that position.\
232'''Alexa:''' That's not his leg.
233* In an episode of ''Series/{{NCIS}}'', Tony, Tim, and Ellie are going over a magazine that lists sexual experiences/positions and are shocked when she blithely responds "Yes" to all of them. One in particular has Tony asking if she's double-jointed, then further gobsmacked when she claims that she and her then-husband did it by ''accident''.
234* ''Series/NewTricks'': In "Cry Me a River," UCOS are watching a porn video starring the victim of the cold case they have just reopened. Sandra, Gerry, and Steve all tilt their heads to the side in unison just as new member Dan walks through the door behind them.
235* ''Series/NightCourt'':
236** The gang watches a porn tape that is evidence in a case. The back of the TV set is to the camera, and they all slowly tilt their heads in the same direction.
237-->'''Christine:''' ''[covering her eyes]'' Whatever happened to earning a boy's ''respect''?\
238'''Dan:''' ''I'' respect her.
239** Another episode has [[ReallyGetsAround Dan]] looking at a sexy picture, yelping in surprise and amazement... and then turning it upside down and yelping ''again''.
240* On an episode of ''Series/PartyOfFive'', Claudia rents what she thinks is ''Film/AnAffairToRemember'' for Kirsten for her wedding shower, but a porn tape is in there instead ([[ChekhovsGun guess who ends up getting]] ''An Affair to Remember'' instead), and while Claudia is upset, Kirsten tilts her head.
241* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': A variation. Reese and Finch hack into the Wi-Fi of everyone in an apartment building so they can access the webcams. One woman is doing yoga in full view of her webcam. Evidently the unseen position she gets into is Head-Tiltingly Contorted. Finch doesn't just tilt his head but his body too (thanks to the disabilities which restrict his movement).
242* ''Series/{{Privileged}}'' has Rose buying a porno DVD on Megan's money. They both watch it... and ''[[FridgeLogic mere seconds in]]'' they're wondering exactly how the actress manages to bend like that.
243* On ''Series/{{Reaper}}'', Sock and Sam get one of these when they watch Sock's (step-)sister doing yoga. Since she is an InnocentFanserviceGirl, it was more, "Ooh, bendy!"
244* ''Series/RedDwarf'':
245** A variation on this in the infamous "shrinking boxers" scene, as Rimmer walks in on Kryten and Lister and entirely misinterprets what's going on. Head tilting ensues.
246** Another is when Kryten has been turned into a human and asks Lister how his new "equipment" works. (For instance, the socket for the recharge cable seems to require an adaptor, as the lead keeps falling out.) Lister quickly corrects him, but then Kryten hands him two Polaroid photos. Lister squints a bit, rotating them to try to make sense of it, till he puts them together. His face is a picture. [[spoiler:Word has it that Craig Charles had [[EnforcedMethodActing been unwittingly handed Polaroids of the actual object and that his reaction was genuine]]]].
247-->"Is that ''normal''?"\
248"What, takin' photographs of it an' showin' it to your mates?! No, it's not!"
249** And in "Krytie TV", while Lister and Rimmer are watching the feed from the girls' shower room, they start tilting their heads, mouths gaping.
250* ''Series/RescueMe'' has the firefighting team watching a sex video of Kim Kardashian. As one of their heads tilts, first to the left, then to the right.
251* On a detective show in the '70s, the hero bought a pornographic photo to use for fast-talking his way in to see someone important, implying to all the middlemen that the picture could be blackmail evidence. Obviously, TV viewers never actually saw the picture, but the reaction of all the characters, including the hero, [[TakeOurWordForIt suggested]] head-tilting kinkiness; the big shot's response was, "I've never seen this acrobat in my life!"
252* Much of the premise of the "Stefon" sketches on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'''s "Weekend Update" involves the CampGay character describing increasingly kinky local attractions (often with homoerotic undertones) for the audience to enjoy over the weekend. Bonus points for the fact that the writers [[EnforcedMethodActing often change the lines around on the teleprompter for the live broadcast]], causing Stefon's portrayer Bill Hader to [[{{Corpsing}} double over with laughter]] in RealLife and [[CharacterTic hide his face with his hands]], a Stefon "trademark."
253* ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'':
254** The show once features Elliot and Carla walking in on a patient having sex. With ''Ted''.
255** In the episode where Jordan orders J.D. to drop his pants, we see a shot of her from between his legs as she tilts her head slightly.
256** In the deleted scenes shown over the credits for Series 8, we see one of J.D.'s fantasies run away from him, when much to his horror he begins picturing Ted getting freaky with Gooch. Cue the sound of a zipper and Ted's pants landing on him.
257-->'''J.D.:''' Is that your butt? ''It is?!''
258* In a ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' episode "The Magnificent Seven," Sam walks in on his brother with a couple of girls. The camera doesn't show precisely what they're up to, but the look on Sam's face speaks volumes. Although this is less head-tilting than hiding his face in horror. And later...
259-->'''Sam:''' Let me see your knife.\
260'''Dean:''' What for?\
261'''Sam:''' So I can gouge my eyes out.\
262'''Dean:''' It was a beautiful, natural act!\
263'''Sam:''' That's a part of you I never wanted to see, Dean.
264* There is an early ''Series/ThreesCompany'' where Chrissy is typing a very raunchy romance novel written as a diary (which at the time they thought was a real diary). Jack, reading over Chrissy's shoulder, first does the head-tilt, then attempts a strange contortionist pose, finally exclaiming, "That's impossible!"
265* Happened on ''Series/{{Titus}}'' in a flashback, where Ken tells Christopher that his girlfriend is cheating on him... by pulling out a [[PornStash porn mag]] and showing him the centerfold.
266-->'''Chris:''' She said she couldn't do that... it was "uncomfortable." ''[Ken and Chris look at the picture and Head Tilt]''
267%%* ''Series/TrueBlood'' has a sex scene in which a head is tilted (actually, turned 180°).
268* ''Series/TwoAndAHalfMen'': Like, every episode.
269* A sketch on the Australian show ''Series/TheWedge'' has an athlete showing photos on his mobile phone to his publicist, who advises him to delete each one. The final photo has the phone turned on its side, and the publicist pauses before requesting a copy.
270-->'''Publicist:''' How does she--\
271'''Athlete:''' Gymnast.
272* ''Series/WhodunnitUK'': In "A Bad Sign", a photographer hands the inspector and bundle of photos being used to blackmail one of the suspects. The inspector looks at the first photo and turns it almost completely around before the photographer reaches out and turns it back the way he originally had it.
273* From the improv show ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'':
274** The drawn-from-a-hat topic for a mini-sketch was "inappropriate slide shows that your neighbors make you sit through." So, Colin Mochrie is showing Ryan Stiles his (imaginary) slides:
275--->'''Colin:''' And we call ''this'' position "[[ComicSutra Pruning the Hibiscus]]!"\
276''[Ryan stares silently for a moment, then tilts his head sideways]''
277** Also, during a different episode's "Scenes From a Hat", the scene "What's on TV in Hell".
278--->'''Colin:''' "Buttcracks of the Rich and Famous!"\
279''[Brad runs on stage behind him and "watches", tilts his head and keeps it tilted as he walks off]''
280[[/folder]]
281
282[[folder:Video Games]]
283* In ''VideoGame/BrutalLegend'', one of the first monsters Eddie Riggs meets is a Battle Nun, one of the many demonic NaughtyNuns clad in leather. Eddie comments that she's "kinda sexy in a weird way."
284* In ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'', when the King Bee [[UnusualEuphemism "pollinates"]] the busty sunflower. Watching the (off-screen) action, Conker tilts his head and makes a face. Despite being a colossal pervert, the face he makes is... not pleased.
285* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' the player can explore the H&H Tool Company's work computers and (along with seeing the [[spoiler:rapidly slipping sanity of Anthony House]]) view the inter-office romances and trysts, all of which involve such things as riding crops, egg timers, and various other odd objects.
286* In ''VideoGame/ShadowHeartsCovenant'', during a sidequest involving Joachim, you become involved in "The Man Festival," which basically involves climbing a tower of wrestling rings and defeating several opponents. On reaching the top and defeating the champion, known as The Great Question, you are informed that now Joachim must take part in a ritual involving "receiving the other's manhood." The scene then cuts to Yuri and Anastasia, who have accompanied Joachim to the top, and their reactions are quite honestly the most [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyOQDvkkZo4#t=4m37s hilarious thing you'll ever see in a video game.]]
287-->''[=*kerplunk*=]''
288* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': In the "Meet the Spy" video, this is the Heavy and Soldier's response to pictures of [[spoiler:the enemy Spy having sex with the Scout's mother]].
289-->'''Heavy:''' ''[shows Soldier a photo]''\
290'''Soldier:''' Ooooh! ''[admiringly]''\
291'''Scout:''' Hey, gimme that! ''[as he frantically grabs at the picture]''
292* ''Franchise/DragonAge''
293** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOriginsAwakening'', Sigrun is leafing through the main fortress's library and happens upon a spicy romance novel.
294-->'''Sigrun:''' What's an Antivan milk sandwich? ''Oh...''oh, I see...I'll just put that back.
295** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'': If you bring [[ReallyGetsAround Isabella]] along on Sebastian's quest, she has this reaction when you walk in on a nobleman getting into some implied S&M with a servant. More conservative party members like Sebastian have more of a BrainBleach reaction.
296[[/folder]]
297
298[[folder:Web Animation]]
299* In ''WebAnimation/SonicShorts 2'', Sonic and Shadow are looking at various fan art on the internet. Upon looking for art depicting them both fighting each other, [[spoiler: and finding slash instead,]] they tilt their heads in shock.
300-->'''Sonic:''' Is that...?\
301'''Shadow:''' And is that my...?\
302'''Both:''' AAAUUGGGGGHHH!!
303[[/folder]]
304
305[[folder:Webcomics]]
306* [[http://adventures-comic.com/d/0161.html Done once]] in ''Webcomic/{{Adventurers}}'', when Karn and Ardam are browsing the web and find what is implied to be some very risqué material of Karashi.
307-->'''Ardam:''' I find myself very glad I don't have fansites.\
308'''Karn:''' [[FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility Are all ninjas that flexible?]]
309* Matt's introduction to ''Webcomic/{{Candi}}'' was Jon and Candi watching him make out with Trevor on the dance floor.
310* ''Webcomic/CarryOn'': Kathy Garrison has drawn this more than once.
311** The artwork Kathy and her sister are looking at [[http://www.hirezfox.com/km/co/d/20141015.html here]].
312** In sister comic "The Legend of Anne Bunny", Anne looks for her shipmate in a brothel. The first time she peeks into the wrong room, she slams the door and thinks, "I didn't know you could do that outside of space!"
313* In the "we did WHAT!?" arc of ''Webcomic/CollegeRoomiesFromHell'', the boys find out they performed in a gay porn movie while drunk some weeks before, and the girls make them watch the whole tape.
314-->'''Mike:''' ''[whose [[ItMakesSenseInContext left arm had since mutated into a tentacle]]]'' Man, I miss my left arm.\
315'''Dave:''' That... is not... your arm.\
316'''Roger:''' Hot damn! I'm going back for more of that stuff!
317* ''Webcomic/CthulhuSlippers'': It's probably for the best that readers can't see what's in Sim's mind in [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/boldly-go-captain-kirk/ this clip.]] It involves Captain Kirk... and a... uh... thing.
318* ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'': Player 4's character has [[http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20130408 such a reaction]] to player 1's character's sexual antics.
319* ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'': Visiting a Hobgoblin camp... [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/1958_20080819.gif during the mating season.]]
320* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': Tedd [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-04-24 does the turned-magazine version]] with a [[CatGirl Cat Chicks]] magazine complete with a three-page fold-out.
321-->'''Tedd:''' Whoa, I needs to get me some yarn!
322* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'':
323** When Agatha is working in the traveling Heterodyne Circus as the psychic Madame Olga.
324--->'''Agatha:''' She... tea cozy... ...'''''forty-three hours'''''... ...only '''''one''''' spoon... ...how... eek!
325** And again with Agatha when she discovers that in her two and a half years of absence, multiple book series, with ten plus volumes each, have been written about her '''ahem''' ''exploits'' with Gil and Tarvek. Luckily Zeetha, the resident expert, is on hand to give advice.
326--->'''Agatha:''' This... this is ridiculous! Not to mention '''''impossible!'''''\
327'''Zeetha:''' Nah. You just need the right shoes.\
328'''Agatha:''' ...really?
329* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'': [[https://bobadventures.thecomicseries.com/comics/513 We don't actually get to see the three-eyed lobster aliens mating.]] [[BrainBleach We're told that's a good thing]].
330* ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo'':
331** Mick's reaction in [[http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20071228 this strip]] follows this trope.
332** Rayne and his secretary are touring a porn studio, trying to figure out which acts are real. [[http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20170204/ This one]] seems special.
333* Terra's [[http://www.undefined.net/1/0/?strip=358 webcomic impression]] in ''Webcomic/OneOverZero''.
334* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'':
335** Redcloak finds the Monster in the Darkness [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0082.html scrying on two dwarves having sex.]]
336--->'''Redcloak:''' ''[covers eyes]'' Ugh! How can you sit and watch that-- ''[listens, gradually opens eyes]'' Wow... You know, with those short stubby little bodies, you'd never think they had the agility to...
337** In a much later strip, Elan evades his LawfulEvil father by saying that he and Haley have to go have sex. When he calls for [[AmbiguousGender Vaarsuvius]] and [[TeamPet Mr. Scruffy]] to accompany them, General Tarquin can only manage "...Huh."
338* ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/8/21/ featured this]] when Gabe and Tycho released the Fruit Fucker in "Omega Mode" on a horde of zombies. Its actions weren't shown, but were accompanied by spurts of blood and lovely sound effects like ''SQUICH'', ''SKUTCH'', and ''P-KUSH P-KUSH P-KUSH''.
339-->'''Tycho:''' ''[in disbelief]'' What is going on? Why is he...? I thought that...
340* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'':
341** There's a downplayed example when this was invoked solely by [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1117 the mental image of a Faye/Dora lesbian scene]]. Mostly amusing due to, apparently, being infectious.
342** Played straight with Sven's [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1081 fine, fine ass.]]
343** Something of a running gag, Marigold in a bikini and Bubbles without her armor produce similar reactions, mostly from Dora and Tai.
344** Yet another example is [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4413 comic 4413]], in which this is the reaction to Millefeuille removing her pants so a replacement femur can be installed.
345* ''Webcomic/RoosterTeethComics'': [[http://roosterteeth.com/comics/strip.php?id=677 Combining it]] with {{Nerdgasm}} and InnocentInnuendo.
346* ''Webcomic/{{Tripp}}'': Sam and Coco watch [[spoiler: [[http://www.trippcomic.com/archives/archive/sex-tape-movie-night Tripp and Proxy's sex tape.]]]]
347* From ''Webcomic/TrippingOverYou'', five words: [[http://trippingoveryou.com/comic/ironic-puppet-burlesque/ small-town ironic puppet burlesque.]] It is just as perplexing to the main characters in the audience.
348* Deconstructed in ''Webcomic/TwoKinds''. The Bastin culture is so sexually repressed that Flora chasing Kathrin out of her room while both of them are naked (Kathrin was teaching her how to give a HappyEndingMassage) is enough to cause an entire tavern to drop everything to watch and fill the entire taproom with mortified faces. [[YourHeadAsplode Their heads probably would have exploded]] if they had actually gone down.
349* ''Webcomic/{{Sunstone}}'' has this as a younger Lisa's reaction upon opening her brother's [[PornStash homework folder]] on their shared computer.
350[[/folder]]
351
352[[folder:Web Videos]]
353* ''WebVideo/JoueurDuGrenier'': In the ''Papy Grenier'' special episode about ''Resident Evil'', Gilles Valentine (Seb) tilts his head just after Chris Redfield (Fred) throws a Japanese Schoolgirl toward a tentacle monster to distract it.
354* ''Website/ChannelAwesome'':
355** WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's tribute to ''Series/SiskelAndEbert'' starts with him asking, "When you hear the word critic, what's the very first thing you think of?" Cut an image of him, then WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd, then to a half-naked violinist running down a street wearing a big bird's nest on his head. Cut to the Critic, head at 45° angle, softly whispering "Why would you...?"
356** Also, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaChick, in response to BFF Nella's over-the-top reaction to the phrase "My Little Ponies," which is apparently strong and deep-seated enough to be more important to Nella than the fact that the Nostalgia Chick ''had a camera installed in Nella's bedroom at her parents' house''.
357** And on ''WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown'', when we don't see all of the sex scene from ''Live Wire'', we see Film Brain staring through binoculars, head tilted, saying "I didn't even know you could do that."
358* ''WebVideo/DreamMachine'': Ryan and Josie's reaction to the West Chesterham-themed adult fan-art Leah was looking at.
359[[/folder]]
360
361[[folder:Western Animation]]
362* When Stan finds his kink in the ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'' episode "[[Recap/AmericanDadS9E15TheMissingKink The Missing Kink]]", we see him collecting [[NoodleImplements supplies]] like the largest candle in the world, hungry prairie dogs, and comprehensive butthole insurance, then inviting Principal Lewis and Marguerite to watch. While Stan and Francine get it on off-screen, the audience is treated to Lewis and Marguerite making a variety of facial expressions in response to the (clearly '''''very''''' freaky) things they're seeing.
363* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E14PTV PTV]]", Peter goes into a very long explanation of how his wife pleasures him, with the relevant parts bleeped out by an airhorn. Among the things he mentions that aren't naughty are a [[NoodleImplements toothpaste tube, an extension cord, a parking ticket, and something to do with Episcopalians]].
364* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' episode "[[Recap/FuturamaS2E14MothersDay Mother's Day]]", when Farnsworth tries to court Mom and she repeatedly slams the front door into his foot, Zoidberg says "Is this what human mating looks like? Because I like it!" Also, when everyone barges in on Farnsworth and Mom making love, Zoidberg is the only one not disgusted.
365* Very mild example in ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}''. In the episode "[[Recap/KaelooS1E11LetsPlayHappyRotter Let's Play Happy Rotter]]", Kaeloo, Stumpy and Quack-Quack tilt their heads with quizzical expressions when watching a documentary in which a male crepidula [[GenderBender turns female]] for mating purposes.
366* The ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' episode "[[Recap/KingOfTheHillS3E16JonVittiPresentsReturnToLaGrunta Return to La Grunta]]" features a dolphin named Duke that is sometimes flirtatious with humans that swim with him. In one scene, an onlooking boy cringes and tilts his head as Duke sexually assaults a man in the pool off-screen. Dolphins really have been known to do this in captivity.
367* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
368** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS13E15BlameItOnLisa Blame It on Lisa]]", Bart watches a Brazilian kid's TV show hosted by a woman in a very {{Stripperific}} outfit. The bit on "counting" has scantily clad dancers writhing around on giant letters and a showgirl demonstrates "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" using the tasseled pasties on her chest. As the shot cuts away from the show, the host says "On top of... beneath!" Marge and Bart can only stare in disbelief.
369** "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS14E14MrSpritzGoesToWashington Mr. Spritz Goes to Washington]]" has Krusty giving Bart a list of [[SevenDirtyWords things that can't be said on TV]].
370--->'''Bart:''' I've never even heard of number 6.\
371'''Krusty:''' It's 11 and 3 while she's 9ing your 5.
372* The ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "[[Recap/SouthParkS6E13TheReturnOfTheFellowshipOfTheRingToTheTwoTowers The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers]]" revolves around a porn video, "Backdoor Sluts 9", that the children accidentally come to possess. All the adult men in the episode recognize the title instantly as the "single most vile, twisted, dark piece of porn ever produced" (without ever saying why). It's not until late in the episode that Token explicitly (pun intended) describes some of the tape's contents, which include salad dressing and DVDA.
