| 13 | ->'''Kevin:''' ''[referring to the large box he found in his brother's bedroom]'' I found these in Andy's closet. I think they're pornographic videotapes.\ |
| 14 | '''Jim:''' No way. Andy's porno tapes would never fit into a box ''that'' small. |

| 17 | Your UnluckyEverydude just got home and is settling into his place. It just has to be then that the girl across the street he's had his eye on walks in and looks around his room a little ''too'' closely. And unfortunately for him, she's discovered the one thing every guy wants to keep secret — his [[UsefulNotes/{{Pornography}} porn]] stash. We never see much beyond the covers of these magazines, but the girl will not be pleased with it. If she's an especially touchy girl, the collection may not even live beyond the next scene. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | This one is ''sometimes'' TruthInTelevision. However, with the rise of [[TheInternetIsForPorn Internet]] streaming/downloading and the decline of physical video and print media, RealLife porn stashes are more likely to be virtual caches hidden in obscure subdirectories and encrypted partitions on people's hard drives.[[note]]And if it's a private computer the person isn't sharing with anyone, they might not even do ''that'' and will simply have the appropriate folder right on their desktop.[[/note]] Nonetheless, in-media uses of the trope are highly resistant to TimeMarchesOn and TechnologyMarchesOn, preferring to stick with depictions of physical media stashes, likely because it's a [[RuleOfFunny decades-old comedy trope]] and the fact that it's easier to make jokes, especially visual jokes, about a stack of magazines or movies than computer subfolders. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Occasionally, a character will use his porn stash to [[InfractionDistraction hide something else he doesn't want people to find.]] The idea is that other people stop looking when they get to the porn stash because they think the porn stash is what the character meant to hide. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | Related to CaughtWithYourPantsDown. Not to be confused with a {{Pornstache}}, which is something else entirely. See also PoorMansPorn, for what people might turn to if their porn stash is insufficient. In works where the Internet is involved, this often goes hand-in-hand with EmbarrassingBrowserHistory. Contrast NerdHoard, which is a collection one typically has on display. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Most often PlayedForLaughs, it's rarely explored seriously (except for porn addiction, which in itself may become a CompressedVice or VerySpecialEpisode). See also {{Filth}}. |

| 32 | * In a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyhsAzw6TMA/ Gamestop commercial]], some poor gamer's parents discover his absolutely massive under-the-bed stash represented by blurred flesh-color magazines. The SpoofAesop? Tell your parents what you want for Christmas or they will go looking for ideas. |

| 36 | * Keiichi Morisato of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' keeps a small collection of "dirty magazines" in his room. Every character in the series knows about it and knows where to find it (back of the bottom drawer of his desk), except ''maybe'' Belldandy, and its existence has been used to torture Keiichi on more than one occasion. Its location was a minor plot point during one arc. |
| 37 | * Used in the harem comedy ''Manga/AiKora'', [[spoiler: when Sakurako discovers a stash of photographs of her and the other girls' "parts" Maeda has taken, and is [[WhatTheHellHero understandably pissed off]].]] |
| 38 | * ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': After Suzu decides to put all romance on the hold, she also decides to clear out her secret computer folders and delete her adult bookmark. But she still wanted to keep [[YuriFan the yuri books]] under her bed (which aren't technically specified as porn, but Kanade speaks as if they are). |
| 39 | * In ''Manga/{{Beastars}}'', after meeting the therapist panda Gouhi for the first time, Gouhi gives the grey wolf Legoshi a rabbit porn magazine. There's a practical reason why; Legoshi believes he has a crush on the dwarf rabbit Haru, but Gouhi believes Legoshi is mistaking his predatory instinct to kill and eat herbivores for love. He gave Legoshi the porn to test him. If Legoshi is aroused, then he has a peculiar fetish but his attraction to Haru is genuine. If he feels nothing but still feels urges to be around Haru, then her life is in danger. It still doesn't help things when Legoshi's friend Jack finds the magazine. |
| 40 | * Romio of ''Manga/BoardingSchoolJuliet'' gets provided some adult manga by the Black Dogs' resident LovableSexManiac Kohitsuji, thinking they [[BirdsOfAFeather are fellow perverts]] after the whole Sports Fest fiasco [[note]]where everyone was led to believe Romio grabbing Juliet's breast was ''not'' an accident[[/note]]. Sick with a fever, Romio has little strength to refuse Kohitsuji's "charity", which only causes more problems for Romio when Juliet decides to visit him. |
| 41 | * ''Manga/BusoRenkin'': During the first arc of the series, when [[StockShonenHero Kazuki]] talks to his friends on the phone to hear their voices and gain strength from their friendship, Koji Rokumasu, the most level-headed and intelligent of his friends, [[ImpliedTrope mentions]] that he had hidden Kazuki's dirty magazines so that [[ActionGirlfriend Tokiko]] wouldn't find them. |
| 42 | * ''Manga/CallOfTheNight'': Yamori [[AvertedTrope doesn't have a porn stash]], but that doesn't stop Nazuna, Anko and [[NotSoAboveItAll Azami]] from looking for it when they visit his apartment. |
| 43 | -->'''Anko:''' So this is a middle schooler's room. But it's weird... I don't see a single porn mag in this middle schooler's room.\ |
| 44 | '''Yamori:''' I don't really need to have one. And please don't rummage through the place.\ |
| 45 | '''Azami:''' There ain't none under the bed... How the hell have you been living...?\ |
| 46 | '''Nazuna:''' Cut it out, guys! [[{{hypocrite}} You're giving Kou-kun problems!]]\ |
| 47 | '''Yamori:''' [[CallBack You did this too, Nazuna-chan...]] |
| 48 | * Kio has one in ''Literature/CatPlanetCuties''. Unfortunately, he doesn't do a very good job of hiding it, given that his next-door neighbor, Manami, knows where it is, and Eris, the CatGirl alien who starts living with him finds it almost instantly. Given that she's an InnocentFanserviceGirl, she immediately takes them to be documentation on how things work on Earth. HilarityEnsues. |
| 49 | * Hideki from ''Manga/{{Chobits}}'' keeps lots of porn scattered about his room. When his cram-school teacher unexpectedly drops in when she's drunk, she finds them. She's not offended though, other than calling him naughty in a tongue-in-cheek way and dismissing it as "guys stuff", but Hideki's still horrified. Chi, [[MagicalGirlfriend his naive humanoid computer]], keeps copying poses from them much to his horror, too. |
| 50 | * Subverted in ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}''. When Tomoyo starts making it a part of her morning routine to make sure that Tomoya and Sunohara wake up and make it to school on time, she notices a magazine on the floor of Sunohara's room. Curious, she picks it up and looks at it, causing Sunohara to panic. However, she nonchalantly comments, "Oh, it's just porn." |
| 51 | ** While alluded to in the anime, the visual novel has Akio bring one up constantly. Whether it's true or not is up for grabs. |
| 52 | * In the first episode of ''Manga/ComicGirls'', after knowing [[SequentialArtist Ruki]] draws mature material[[note]]Teens Love, a mature {{shojo}} subgenre that takes up BoysLove storytelling traditions but in a heterosexual form.[[/note]], Koyume and Kaoruko attempt to find one of these under her bed, reasoning that she needs one to write her stories. [[SubvertedTrope Ruki doesn't have any]]. |
| 53 | * Yonroh from ''Manga/CrayonShinChan'', the Nohara's neighbour during their brief stay in Matazuresou Apartment, whose bedroom contains quite the stash of his personal gravure magazine collection. There's a number of issues in the manga where Yonroh would bribe Hiroshi or Shin-Chan with his magazines, in exchange for favours (before Misae finds out and gives either her husband or son a scolding). |
| 54 | * In ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool'', Maeda is horrified when his mom cleans his room and sees his porn, but says nothing about it. His friends go on to tell their tales of embarrassment. One guy saw a cute girl behind the video store counter when he was renting porn, one guy saw his childhood friend behind the counter, and one guy saw...[[spoiler: Maeda's mom]] behind the counter. |
| 55 | * Light of ''Manga/DeathNote'', in order to provide an explanation why he locks his door all the time, ''gets'' a porn stash for his father (and the detective team) to discover. |
| 56 | * In ''Anime/DigimonAdventureLastEvolutionKizuna'', when Taichi takes Agumon to his apartment, the latter sniffed instantly them out from under his bed. Fortunately, as a Digimon Agumon wouldn't actually know about these things, but still... |
| 57 | * ''Manga/DomesticGirlfriend'': Natsuo doesn't have a porn stash and calls them old-fashioned, [[TheInternetIsForPorn since the internet exists]]. Fumiya does have a physical collection, however, and asks Natsuo to hang onto it while his cousins are around. Natsuo reluctantly agrees, ends up roping most of his friends into helping, and when that fails burns them in order to keep Rui from finding them. [[spoiler: He misses one magazine that features busty older women. Hina finds it and assumes he still has feelings for her]]. |
| 58 | * ''Manga/DragonBall'': |
| 59 | ** Master Roshi and Murasaki are shown to have large collections of porn. |
| 60 | ** Also, in the dub, when looking through Murasaki's hut Goku finds a huge porn stash and proclaims "it's Master Roshi's magazines, How did they get there?" |
| 61 | ** Bulma once accidentally opened one of her father's capsules when she mixed up his case of capsules with her own. The capsule ended up being full of porn. She immediately destroyed it. |
| 62 | * Rouche, the lecherous father of the heroine of ''Manga/DragonHalf'', utilizes ''decoy'' porn stashes to protect the real cache from his (literally) draconic wife. |
| 63 | * In ''Anime/DualParallelTroubleAdventure'', Mitsuki finds a part of Kazuki's stash, shows it to Kazuki (he's embarrassed and expecting tragedy), and then replaces it, all without saying anything. It's never mentioned again, and she even confesses to him later that episode. |
| 64 | * In ''Manga/FairyTail'', Gildarts carries a lot of naughty magazines in his bag. |
| 65 | * In ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'', Kirche's ''family heirloom'' is an old porn magazine from the 1970's. She casually gives it away to Count Mott, saying she had already memorized it. This incident is a clue for Saito that people and things from Earth have been summoned to [[MagicalLand Halkeginia]] for a long time. |
| 66 | * In ''Manga/FutureDiary'', Yukki has a stash that was once found by Yuno as she tidied his room. Curiously, she doesn't seem to care, which is surprising for the normally super {{Yandere}} StalkerWithACrush ClingyJealousGirl. Yukki freaks out and snatches it off her, then accidentally shows it to his mother. Apart from a single line, no more is said about it. After all, her son just brought a [[ParentalObliviousness super cute girl home]]. |
| 67 | * ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}''... where do we start? First of all, the club room itself has a large stack of {{Doujinshi}}. Pretty much every member of the club (except Saki) has their own -- even Ohno (fitting a YaoiFangirl). And at one point it's subverted, when Madarame uses a set of bondage [=DVDs=] to hide a ''real'' secret (several photos of Saki cosplaying). |
| 68 | * For a female variant in ''Literature/GoodLuckNinomiyaKun'', Mayu's [[YaoiFangirl yaoi stash]] becomes a (very minor) running joke. |
| 69 | * In ''Manga/GreatTeacherOnizuka'', Onizuka's whole room is his porn stash. |
| 70 | * In the first episode of ''Anime/{{Hamatora}}'', [[spoiler: the super-elaborate safe that serves as a central Macguffin contains nothing more than a small pile of dirty magazines]] and one detective suggests the late owner's son should burn the contents. |
| 71 | * Not exactly porn, but in the ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'' books, Kyon has a hidden folder on the SOS Club's computer labeled after [[MsFanservice Mikuru]] which contains photos of her enforced cosplay. At one point, she notices the folder and he has to try and distract her. (Of course, then Haruhi shows up in a mood, rescuing Kyon... [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt kind of]].) |
| 72 | ** Considering that the tone when he saved it as such (and his frantic self-note to back it up when the computer club threatens to take the computer back) implies that for Kyon, it is essential. Why he keeps it on a school computer considering that is unanswered. |
| 73 | *** New member Yasumi found it, and kept it a secret, but let Kyon know she did. |
| 74 | * ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' subverts this one. Nagi, sneaking around Hayate's room, finds what she thinks to be a Porn Stash full of naked women, as expected. Subverted when it's revealed to be a sumo magazine. ''And'' then it turns out it's not Hayate's at all, but [[TalkingAnimal Tama's]]. |
| 75 | * ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'': Our peace-loving hero built a robot out of panties specifically to guard his porn. When things go wrong though, he knows that he must sacrifice the porn just to save his friend's life. In an episode in the 2nd season, the robot comes back into the picture, as does the porn. Thanks to a little bit of Ikaros' magic, Tomoki's porno mags are ''dancing happy'' to have him as their owner. |
| 76 | * ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': |
| 77 | ** Germany is implied to have one in episode 8, giving rise to this gem from a traumatised Italy. For those of you not in on the joke Germany in Real Life is somewhat infamous for making weird and disturbing porn. |
| 78 | --->'''Italy:''' He's really sadistic, and he has lots of strange magazines and [=DVDs=] in his house! The last one I found involved dogs! Oh, and he really loves bondage! He was doing *censored* until a little while ago! |
| 79 | ** Germany has also received a box full of erotic books from Finland (who is representing SantaClaus) as a Christmas present. |
| 80 | ** [[YamatoNadeshiko Japan]] doesn't have one ([[CovertPervert that we know of]]), but Italy mistakes his ukiyo-e collection as one. |
| 81 | * In ''Manga/HidamariSketch'', Yoshinoya-sensei lists some places where Yuno's orange notebook might be... before realizing that she was thinking of typical places to hide porn. The principal was not pleased to hear this. |
| 82 | * In ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'', Issei and his two perverted friends all have collections of porn. The girls in Issei's life don't really give him any grief over it (it is quite well known how horny he is), but Issei does lament at one point that living with his harem means he doesn't get much alone time to enjoy his stash. |
| 83 | * ''Manga/HisAndHerCircumstances'': While in Arima's room, Yukino goes snooping and finds his hidden stash… [[spoiler: of detective and police novels & shows. He wants to be a police officer instead of a doctor when he grows up]]. |
| 84 | * The page image is the porn stash for Shuusuke in ''Manga/IDontLikeYouAtAllBigBrother''.[[note]]The caption is a gag and not actually in the work, for the record.[[/note]] |
| 85 | * In ''Literature/{{Inukami}}'', Youko regularly torches the parts of Keita's collection he doesn't keep hidden. |
| 86 | * In an episode of ''Anime/IrresponsibleCaptainTylor'', as a reward for doing something heroic, Tylor is given a porn tape by the marines on the spaceship, with a dire death threat should he not return it. He starts to turn it on in a fairly disinterested way, and the episode ends up involving his frantic attempts to eject the tape when it becomes stuck in the player, all the while being constantly interrupted by all female members of the crew to deal with their own feminine problems. Things do not turn out well for him, but nothing ever does anyway. |
| 87 | * In ''Manga/KannagiCrazyShrineMaidens'', when Nagi went to look for a bag to hide her magical girl wand/purification staff in, she mentions that she came across Jin's porn stash. Apparently, he's a breast man. [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Tsugumi]] immediately looks down at her own bust after hearing this information. In episode seven, Jin becomes worried after Nagi locks herself in his closet because that's where he keeps the stash. Nagi's not too pleased as she thumbs through his collection. |
| 88 | -->'''Nagi:''' Milky tits? |
| 89 | * ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'': |
| 90 | ** There's a manga-only storyline where Kaoru agrees to help manage Mayotama's table at Comiket so she can find out the location of Hajime's magazines and doujinshi. [[spoiler:She manages to get rid of them, but he still had all of his scans on an SD card.]] |
| 91 | ** [[http://imgur.com/TypPrZ6 Hajime has two carton boxes for magazines, that won't fit into his bookcase: One labeled "moe", the other one "fap"]]. |
| 92 | * In the first episode of ''Manga/KashimashiGirlMeetsGirl'' Asuta tries to cheer up Hazuma by buying him some porn (well they might actually just be [[IdolSinger Idol]] Photobooks -- i.e. [[PoorMansPorn idols in bikinis]] -- but the idea's the same) regardless of the fact that Hazumu isn't interested. Tomari discovers them and this leads to Asuta getting [[RunningGag kicked in the head]], Akagi on the other hand, [[CovertPervert takes an interest in them]]. |
| 93 | * Parodied in ''Manga/KomiCantCommunicate'' where Tadano and Najimi visit Komi's house. While poking around, Najimi checks under Komi's bed for anything interesting, much to her horror. They find a small stack of communication guides and "How to talk to cats". |
| 94 | * Yuuta in ''Literature/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'' keeps one under his bed, and was found by Rikka. |
| 95 | * Subverted in, of all places, ''Manga/LoveHina'', when Su, being a bigger pain in the ass than normal (save for Molmol), finds Keitaro's porn stash while he and Naru are studying. Naru shrugs it off as normal for guys when Su asks if this proves Keitaro is a pervert. |
| 96 | * ''Manga/LuckyStar'': |
| 97 | ** We see Konata's computer screen, and it's a folder full of subfolders with names that might be fetishes (e.g. {{meganekko}}, {{meido}}, {{tsundere}}). But, then, whether {{moe}} points are fetishes in the eyes of an otaku is another matter... |
| 98 | ** Also subverted in the anime, when Kagami wondered if Konata put her {{eroge}} stash in the closet. Konata answered that they were in her father's study as the two of them share the games. |
| 99 | ** Another discussion: Konata said [[DirtyOldMan her father]] does not peek into her communication records since he knew what would happen when "people peep into his D: drive"... |
| 100 | * Subverted in ''Manga/{{Mahoraba}}''. When the male lead's room is searched by two of his female classmates, they express disappointment when they ''don't'' find a Porn Stash. |
| 101 | * ''Manga/{{Mahoromatic}}'': Mahoro is [[{{Determinator}} very serious about this]]. She spends a whole {{OVA}} episode hunting Suguru's porn, eventually capturing a bag of porn magazines. Then, [[ContrivedCoincidence completely by accident]], she discovers dozens more hidden behind a fake wall- and Suguru later states that this still only represents ''15% of the total.'' |
| 102 | * ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku'': Godai's pile of mags make multiple appearances. First falling out whenever he tries to clean up. Later he stashes them with Yotsuya when he is entertaining female company and directly tells him not to return them while Kozue is around (he knows Yotsuya too well). Later after Yagami moves in and takes over (and Godai flees to another room), she tells him she donated "those magazines" to a recycling drive. |
| 103 | * ''Manga/MidoriDays'': Seiji Sawamura kept a very large collection under his bed, nearly all featuring the same girl. "Kept" being the operative word because Midori forced him to throw it all out as soon as she saw it, over his loud objections. |
| 104 | * ''Manga/MonkeyHigh'': Atsu threatens to tell Macharu's mother where Macharu keeps his. Much later, he does tell Haruna, who merely accepts its existence silently while Macharu can't even stammer an excuse for it. |
| 105 | * ''Manga/MonsterMusume'': Not in the main series, but one of the anime shorts sees the girls (namely all of the main harem except for [[HeadlessHorseman Lala]] and [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent Mero]]) finding one under Kimihito's bed. The reactions vary but are predictable, with [[HarpingOnAboutHarpies Papi]] and [[SlimeGirl Suu]] being indifferent, [[SnakePerson Miia]] being scandalized, [[OurCentaursAreDifferent Centorea]] struggling to defend Kimihito, and [[SpiderPeople Rachnera]], who pulled out a magazine about bondage, being intrigued on trying some of the techniques on him, with Miia and Centorea ''immediately'' stopping her. |
| 106 | * ''Manga/MyBrideIsAMermaid'' has Nagasumi and his dad stumbling across a mermaid porn DVD in box of mermaid aerobics videos. When they both eagerly sit down to watch it, they're both stunned to find erotic footage of... fish. Nagasumi's dad casually questions his interests, and the humiliated Nagasumi dies a little more inside... |
| 107 | * ''[[Literature/MyMentalChoicesAre My Mental Choices Are Completely Interfering with My School Romantic Comedy]]'': Kanade Amakusa has in his computer a folder labeled "The Path to Being a Philosopher", which really holds porn. In episode 6, he's forced to delete it. |
| 108 | * ''Anime/MyselfYourself'': |
| 109 | ** Narrowly avoided when Sana is unpacking his boxes for his new apartment and Aoi offers to help. Quickly realizing what the box she's going for contains, Sana hastily replies with, "No, wait, never mind, I'll unpack it myself." |
| 110 | ** Some episodes later, Aoi ([[NotWhatItLooksLike who has the worst timing in the universe]]), walks in and sees the stash on the floor since Sana was searching for a special key. She also sees some tissues from when he was blowing his nose earlier and runs out, red with embarrassment. |
| 111 | * ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': |
| 112 | ** ''Negima! Magister Negi Magi'' [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade]] on an aversion. One of the chapter title pages is a diagram of Negi's room with comments on his various magical belongings. One of them goes something like "This is the drawer where Negi keeps his books. He's only ten, so there's no porn in it." |
| 113 | ** A subversion occurs later on when Yuna's father is reading something related to his job as a mage and hides it under some Ero Magazines when Yuna comes in (and promptly has a stack of books and papers fall on her because she's opened the wrong half of the door) and so was using porn as a distraction in the name of TheMasquerade. The porn doesn't really bother her though; her only response is "Eh, I don't really mind; you're an adult, after all." |
| 114 | * ''Manga/{{Nichijou}}'': Downplayed in that it isn't a "stash" per se, but in one episode, Izumi does find a lone dirty magazine under her younger brother's bed; naturally, both siblings were quite flustered. |
| 115 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': Used as a throwaway gag at the start of the Whole Cake Island; after Luffy catches a giant fish to feed the crew, Chopper runs to a then-missing Sanji's locker to check his book on fish, to find out whether the fish is poisonous (it was). Naturally, said locker is full of dirty magazines. |
| 116 | * In ''Literature/{{Oreimo}}'', Kyousuke and his sister Kirino each have their own stashes. The latter actually spreads the former's stash around his room for his childhood friend [[{{Meganekko}} Manami]] to see just to mess with her. Since Manami has an obvious crush on Kyousuke, she is ''pleased'' instead of freaked out that one of Kyousuke's magazines she saw was a {{Meganekko}} fetish mag. |
| 117 | * ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'': |
| 118 | ** Osomatsu has one that Choromatsu "borrows". |
| 119 | ** Karamatsu hides his in the bookshelf. |
| 120 | ** Ichimatsu hides his under the floor. |
| 121 | ** Jyushimatsu hides his in the attic. |
| 122 | ** Todomatsu hides his in the closet. |
| 123 | * We get a blink-and-you'll-miss-it look at Panty's stash in episode 3 of ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''. She has quite a few mags...along with her vast collection of dildos, handcuffs, and anal beads (among other things). But then, the rest of their place has mags that's she's dropped littering the place anyway. |
| 124 | * In ''Patlabor: The New Files'' OVA, the discovery of the mechanic team's massive Porn Stash in their quarters at the HQ prompts the infamous Seven Days of Fire. |
| 125 | * [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents Nanjirou Echizen]] from ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis'' has one, though it's {{Bowdlerized}} into a mere stash of cute bathing suit model's mags in the anime. Nanako still reacts in utter ''horror'' when she sees it. |
| 126 | -->'''Nanako:''' Aaaaaugh! Uncle, you're so GROSS! |
| 127 | * The chairman of Hachimitsu academy in ''Manga/PrisonSchool'' has a collection of photos of women's butts. After his daughter finds out he's been on porn sites he decides to take the photos home only to end up spilling them in front of her. So he decides to bury them, which he has to do twice. The second time he uses cement so he won't be able to dig them back up like last time. Of course even with his photos gone he still has to the porn sites he frequents and later on he buys as an ergonomic ass mouse pad, which he tries and fails to hide from his daughter. |
| 128 | * Discussed with a lampshade in ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei''. Every parent knows about those magazines and things under the bed. |
| 129 | * ''Manga/SchoolRumble'''s Nishimoto gave away his porn stash to his classmates, Hanai confiscates the rest. Yakumo runs away from him when she senses his lust. |
| 130 | * Junpei in ''Manga/StrawberryOneHundredPercent'' has one, which is discovered at various points by two members of his harem. Tsukasa hides it from him, to his frustration and embarrassment... but he finds it even more embarrassing when Aya makes a point to replace one she accidentally ruined. |
| 131 | * Tenchi Masaki apparently kept a stash under his bed, which could just be seen near the end of the first episode of the ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' {{OVA}} if you knew what you were looking for. While no-one said anything about it in the show itself, the writers of ''101 Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki Secrets'' saw fit to devote a page (question 23) to it and explain that they're magazines for '''healthy young men'''. |
| 132 | * ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'' reveals at one point that, after Satoru's death, one of his coworkers carried out one of his last wishes -- the destruction of his porn stash before his family could find it. He did so by throwing Satoru's computer into a full bathtub, ''while it was plugged in''. |
| 133 | * Played around with in episode 3 of ''Anime/TigerAndBunny''. When Barnaby hides a folder on his computer screen from the cameraman and Cain Morris (director of [[ShowWithinAShow [=HeroTV=]]]) during their filming of a documentary on him, Morris (mistakenly) assumes that he's hiding an online porn stash - to Barnaby's bewildered amusement. |
| 134 | -->'''Morris:''' I understand - [[AllMenArePerverts I'm also a single man.]] I'll be sure to leave out anything that might ruin your public image.\ |
| 135 | '''Barnaby:''' Excuse me?\ |
| 136 | '''Morris:''' In return, please recommend some good sites if you know of any!\ |
| 137 | '''Barnaby:''' ''[[VisibleSilence ... [smiles]]]'' |
| 138 | * In ''VisualNovel/ToHeart2'', this happens in episode 2 when [[CoolBigSis Tamaki]] visits Takaaki's room after their long separation. |
| 139 | * In ''Manga/ToLoveRu'', when Zastin was possessed by a ghost they found him in his room going through some Ero-mags. Nana calls him on it, while Momo accepts it as he is a healthy man.

''In his parents' spare bedroom''. Needless to say, [[CaughtWithYourPantsDown it does not end well]]. |

| 149 | -->'''Sakuma:''' It would have been fine if they were erotic books! I'm supposed to be a demon you know!? For succubi, consuming anything that doesn't provide nutrition such as pure love is the same as being a pervert! Yeah, that's right! I'm a pervert for romance novels! Got a problem with it!?\ |
| 150 | '''Yuu:''' Everyone has their curiosities while growing up...\ |

| 156 | * One of Steve Coogan's live shows featured Franchise/AlanPartridge giving a motivational presentation to the audience using a Wii controller-like device attached to his computer, and at one point an image of a nude lady accidentally popped up. Partridge laughed it off, but unfortunately, it was apparently the same computer he kept all his porn on, as after this the audience was treated to a tour through an increasingly nasty collage of porn depicting increasingly explicit scenes of bondage, domination, humiliation, and a suspicious number of [[AmbiguouslyGay fat naked men]] while Partridge frantically tried to get rid of it. |
| 157 | * Creator/BillHicks: |
| 158 | -->'''Bill:''' That is one of my big fears in life, that I'm gonna die, you know, and my parents are gonna come to clean out my apartment and find that porno wing I've been adding onto for years.

His little short pants, his little hat, (crying) look how cute my baby was... I wonder what's in this box over here. ({{Beat}}) 'Rear Entry', Volumes One through Forty?!"

| 212 | ** Apparently all of Blake's books are smutty; Nora often blackmails her into doing stuff just by loudly describing the plot of whatever book she's reading at the moment.

| 226 | * In ''Film/{{Blended}}'', Lauren finds a magazine under her son's bed and is shocked to find pictures of his babysitter taped onto the model's bodies. She later finds him having watched a dirty movie with the babysitter's face taped onto the menu. |

Although it's probably a MythologyGag to the above incident Bond doesn't bother stealing any, presumably as it's a lot easier to get porn now. |
| 241 | * In ''Film/JustOneOfTheGuys'', Buddy, who's fifteen, has a massive collection of Magazine/{{Playboy}} magazines. When his parents leave town, he decorates his bedroom with centerfolds. |

| 269 | * In the ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'' film, AmbiguouslyGay Adrian Veidt has a folder labeled "boys" on his computer. This was intended as an in-joke to fans of the Comic Book. |

| 276 | * ''Literature/CiaphasCain'' frequently comments on how Jurgen supposedly hides a collection of porno-[[DataPad slates]] somewhere in his quarters. As Cain's duties infrequently include ''confiscating'' porn, he's also commented on diverting the proceeds in Jurgen's direction.

| 277 | * ''Literature/{{Deathlands}}''. Subverted in "Ice and Fire" when the VillainOfTheWeek is caught (and killed) salvaging a bundle of porn magazines from the EarthThatWas, except they are kiddie and animal porn. The [[HumanPopsicle freezie]] in their group is disgusted that trash like this is the only thing that's survived from his culture. |
| 278 | * Referenced in ''Literature/DeathStar'', in what might just be the only time in ''Franchise/StarWars'' this trope comes up. A guard is faintly amused at the thought of the reactions his fellows would have to finding that "the holos hidden beneath his bunk were not racy images of [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Twi'lek dancing girls]], but rather dissertations on various schools of metaphysical thought detailed by the [[CulturedWarrior galaxy's finest philosophers]]. Not that he had anything against Twi'lek dancing girls." |

At one point, when his best friend and he are wishing up all sorts of cool goodies from catalogs, they come across one of their dads' Magazine/{{Playboy}}s. Interestingly, despite being pubescent males, the two blush, tell themselves "maybe later," and put it away. It never resurfaces. |
| 282 | * In ''Literature/FloraSegunda'', when Flora and Udo are searching through Hotspur's old bedroom, one of the items they come across is a copy of Naughty Nan's Risque Review. |
| 283 | * In ''Literature/TheGirls'', Evie finds her father's nudie magazines in a drawer in the bathroom. This foreshadows her later bisexuality. |

| 287 | * In his autobiography ''The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid'', Creator/BillBryson writes about his childhood exploits in seeking out the porn stash owned by his father. A particularly favourite hobby was to swap magazines with friends who had found their own father's stashes, knowing full well they could do this without getting into trouble. |
| 288 | * In ''Literature/MakingMoney'' Moist and Adora find the stash of sex paraphernalia and diaries collected by the previous bank chairman, a DirtyOldMan. They actually find one entry in the diaries useful once they've sorted through all the sexual stuff in them. Amusingly, Moist is flabbergasted and ashamed by all of it, and [[TheComicallySerious Adora doesn't react.]] |
| 289 | * In Creator/StephenKing's novel ''Literature/NeedfulThings'' the school principal, who's secretly a pedophile, is actually dumb enough to keep his collection of CP magazines ''in his own office'', albeit in a locked drawer. Of course, it bites him in the ass as a part of a DeadlyPrank. |
| 290 | * ''Literature/PresumedDead'' by Rick Kennett. A female soldier stranded on an alien planet is watching some [[InstructionalFilm boring holographic lectures]] on a computer to kill time. She activates one titled ''Space Fittings'' only to find it's [[ZeroGSpot zero-G]] porn. |
| 291 | * In Creator/ChuckPalahniuk's novel ''Literature/{{Rant}},'' Echo Lawrence is the title character's "porn buddy" who will remove his porn in the case of his death before his family can find it. Echo is Rant's ''girlfriend.'' |
| 292 | * ''Literature/SharkysMachine''. The crooked accountant employed by the BigBad has one of epic size (for TheSeventies, anyway), including items said to be from the collection of [[TheHedonist Farouk I]], the former king of Egypt. |
| 293 | * ''Literature/TheZone'' series by James Rouch. In "Blind Fire", TheSquad are being shuttled around the WWIII battleground in a Chinook helicopter whose entire cargo bay is wallpapered by skin magazine pin-ups. When the helicopter picks them up later in the novel, the crew demands to know why some of them have gone missing. |
| 294 | [[/folder]] |
| 295 | |
| 296 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 297 | * In ''Series/ThirdRockFromTheSun'', Officer Don has a collection of Playpen magazine, and after his girlfriend Sally thinks about posing to it, he gets infuriated and cancels his lifetime subscription -- replacing it with a year-by-year one... |
| 298 | * On ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'', [[ItWasHisSled MRF]] Rita gets her idea about sex from her [[spoiler:Uncle]]'s porn magazines. Due to the specificity of said porn, she believes a cricket bat to be essential to the process. |
| 299 | * ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'': On receiving an entire crate load of computer software from the Pegasus crew, Gaeta's first question is a whispered, "Got any porn in there?" Judging by the way the Pesasus crewmen smile in response, there may in fact have been porn in the files. |
| 300 | * In ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'', Penny is less than entranced to discover Leonard's porn stash mainly consists of ''hentai'' animations. |
| 301 | -->'''Penny:''' Even his ''porn'' is comic-book cartoons! |
| 302 | * In the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "Some Assembly Required", on searching one of their suspects' homes, Xander finds "a pornography collection so prodigious it even scared me." |
| 303 | * ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'': |
| 304 | ** Subverted in an episode where a detective expresses his surprise in ''not'' finding any porn stashed on a victim's computer. |
| 305 | ** And mentioned again when Castle tells Beckett to hide his Porn Stash from his daughter Alexis if he dies. |
| 306 | * ''Series/ElChavoDelOcho'': A few episodes hint that Don Ramón has a collection of naughty magazines (which apparently el Chavo himself knows of, go figure). |
| 307 | * ''Series/{{Coupling}}'': |
| 308 | ** Two of the male leads on the show have a deal where they are "porn buddies" with each other. Basically, if one of them dies, the other will immediately go over to the dead man's home and remove all the porn before any parents or family members show up. The porn so recovered would then be added to the survivor's stash, of course. |
| 309 | --->'''Jeff:''' So your best friend's dead - but there's an upside! |
| 310 | ** The plot of the episode "Inferno" revolves around a character finding the titular videotape (whose full title was ''Lesbian Spank Inferno'') in her boyfriend's video. |
| 311 | ** The plot of a Season 4 episode deals with Geoff's SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute, Oliver, who has been single so long he's stopped hiding his Porn Stash and has a girl coming up to his flat. HilarityEnsues. |
| 312 | * There's a ''Series/{{CSI}}'' ep where Greg's porn stash is stumbled onto offscreen and mentioned later. |
| 313 | * On ''Series/CurbYourEnthusiasm'', Jeff has a porn stash which he asks Larry to hide while he has emergency bypass surgery. Larry finds it, but stops to look through it. Naturally, this is when Jeff's parents walk in. Rather than be embarrassed, Larry casually states that he recently had dinner with the male lead in the tape. |
| 314 | * ''Series/TheDailyShow'': Correspondent John Oliver begged Creator/JonStewart to get rid of his pornography if he died while in the field. Oliver said that porn was hidden in several places in his kitchen and living room, but that a box labeled "pornography" was actually "erotica" and should be donated to a library. |
| 315 | -->'''John Oliver:''' [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-june-10-2009/only-in-new-york----escaped-detainee That is my legacy, Jon!]] |
| 316 | * A ''Series/DesperateHousewives'' episode had Bree preventing her son from living with his grandparents by "accidentally" showing them his stash of gay porn. |
| 317 | * ''Series/DoctorWho'': |
| 318 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E7TheUnicornAndTheWasp "The Unicorn and the Wasp"]]: The Colonel claims to have been reading military memoirs in his study when Professor Peach was murdered. The accompanying flashback shows him to actually have been looking at the 1920s version of porn. |
| 319 | ** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E1TheEleventhHour "The Eleventh Hour"]]: The Doctor "borrows" Jeff's (Amy Pond's other friend) laptop to join a conference call. Jeff is at first reluctant to give it to him, and the Doctor comments "Get a girlfriend" after finally seeing the screen. Later, just after leaving, he pokes his head back into the room and tells Jeff, "Oh, and delete your Internet history!" |
| 320 | * One episode of ''Drew Carey's Green Screen Show'' (SpiritualSuccessor to ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'') involved the performers acting out their impression of a virus attack on a computer; at one point Brad and Julie go "We're all your porn" and start drifting away from 'protagonist' Jeff, who breaks out in a BigNo. |
| 321 | * Matt in ''Series/FridayNightLights'' has porn magazines stashed under his bed, unusual given the episode was made in 2007. Lampshaded when a caretaker finds Them and points out that almost no one does that anymore and "there is such a thing as the internet". |
| 322 | * A RunningGag in ''Series/GenerationKill'' is the fate of Evan Wright's totally innocuous photo of his girlfriend. Because of the religious sensibilities of their host nations, the Marines couldn't have any pornography, so Wright's picture gets stolen and becomes the closest thing to porn any of them have access to. At one point the photo is even "pimped out" in exchange for some batteries. Poor Wright spends the entire series trying to track the picture down and never does. On a side note, the Marines finally accept him once he reveals that he used to write for ''Hustler''. |
| 323 | * In an episode of ''Series/GeorgeAndMildred'', Mildred gives away a box of George's old gardening magazines to the church jumble sale. George then confesses that only the top layer was gardening magazines and that the rest were porno mags. There follows a desperate attempt to retrieve the box before TheVicar looks in it. |
| 324 | * Hinted at, sort of, on ''Series/{{Glee}}''. At one point, Finn tells Rachel that he's been blackmailed by Kurt ever since Kurt saw his browser history. |
| 325 | ** Bizarrely, when Will and Emma got back together, he felt the need to show her his porn collection that helped him get through being single. She is completely weirded out. |
| 326 | * Played for drama in the 2020 mini-series ''Series/TheHead''. The investigation team is able to easily access all the mobile phones of the murder victims, except one which has high-level encryption. At first this appears related to the suggestion that espionage is behind the killings, but when they're finally able to access the phone, from the universal distaste shown it's strongly implied to be child pornography. |
| 327 | * In an episode of ''Series/HotProperties'' one of the girls suspects her boyfriend is a chubby chaser and decides to raid his porn stash to find out. |
| 328 | -->''The fold-outs opened out, and down, and up, and across.'' |
| 329 | * Barney on ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'' has his porn out in the open in a special display case, so as to [[AllergicToLove scare away any dates who wish to stay and start a relationship]]. |
| 330 | ** Lily told Barney that Marshall doesn't have porn. He tells her that notion is "cute". |
| 331 | * In ''Series/{{Joey}}'', Michael Tribiani asks Joey to pretend to have seen evidence on someone's computer that he ripped off Michael's idea. Joey can't remember what he's supposed to say but instead bluffs that he saw something else. When asked how he knew the computer had pornography on it, he replies that every guy's computer does. Michael claims his doesn't. Joey then corrects him by telling him about the folder "Joey's Tax Stuff". |
| 332 | * On ''Series/KyleXY'', Josh has one full of [[ParodyNames Playpen magazines]]. He keeps them in a Ouija board box, and lends one to Kyle so he can avoid [[RagingStiffie certain public embarrassments...]] |
| 333 | -->'''Josh:''' No, dude. You are not ready for Charlotte. Say hello to Ginger! |
| 334 | * An interesting variation on ''Series/LALaw'' when a wealthy, well-respected man dies, and his lawyers go through his personal effects. What they find is no crude stack of magazines, but a valuable and lovingly cared-for collection of erotic art and photography, some of it a hundred years old. The man was, in a word, a connoisseur, but his grown children still want to spare his widow any embarrassment. The lawyers quietly sell it off to other collectors and add the cash to his estate. After the reading of the will, the widow calmly asks "By the way; did you ever find your father's dirty pictures?" |
| 335 | * The second season premiere of ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' plays with this when Sophie stays over at Nate's apartment to make sure he was ok after he was injured in a fight. She notes that she didn't look under his bed because she knows that's where guys keep all of their "weird kinky stuff." Nate, of course, denies that there's anything under his bed. |
| 336 | * On ''Series/{{LOST}}'', Charlie finds Sawyer's while looking through his stockpile: |
| 337 | -->'''Charlie:''' Well, he stole all this in the first place. I mean, people need food. They need medical supplies. They need... shocking amounts of pornography. |
| 338 | ** To be fair to Sawyer, he'd simply taken everything of value from all the deceased passengers' luggage, which raises some interesting questions of how many people actually fly with porn magazines. |
| 339 | * In episode 8 of ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger'', after Urara learns AnAesop about being honest with herself and her siblings, the first thing she tells Kai is to "not hide [his] magazines under the bed." It's never stated what these magazines are, but what else do you think a 17-year old boy would hide under his bed? |
| 340 | * ''Series/MarriedWithChildren'' |
| 341 | ** Al Bundy has a stash of "Big 'Uns" magazines. |
| 342 | ** When the car was lost at the car wash Al said he had something valuable of his in the trunk of the car to which Peg replies it's probably just a copy of "Big 'Uns". At the end when the car is found, Al goes right to the trunk to retrieve just that -- a copy of "Big 'Uns". But hidden in the magazine was [[spoiler: a photo of him and his family]]. |
| 343 | ** He also had a collection of Playboys handed down from his father. |
| 344 | ** Bud has his own collection as well, though he does borrow from Al occasionally. |
| 345 | * In the episode of ''Series/MenBehavingBadly'' titled "Pornography", Tony ends up getting dumped by a girlfriend who wanted him to get rid of his collection of porn after she discovers he had lied to her about getting rid of it, only to stash it in his guitar. The fact that as she was leaving he begged her to let him keep one particular magazine citing that it had 'sentimental value' probably didn't help. |
| 346 | * The ''{{Series/Monk}} episode ''[[Recap/MonkS1E3MrMonkMeetsDaleTheWhale Mr. Monk Meets Dale The Whale]]'' mentions this in a rather sad way. The titular Dale The Whale is already known to Monk, having sued his late wife Trudy for referring to him as "The Genghis Khan of world finance" (which is a damn apt description, by the way). Dale was fully aware he would never actually win the lawsuit, but he kept the Monk's so tied in in legal fees that they were forced to sell everything they had, including their first house just to stay above water. In a show of incredible and petty cruelty, Dale bought said house and uses it to store his porn. |
| 347 | * ''Series/MyFamily'' periodically references Michael's "magazines"... which are allegedly Nick's. |
| 348 | * Parodied in an episode of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000''. In the short "Why Study Industrial Arts?", the narrator's description of how he enjoys creating wood and leather leads to Crow to riff that he hides ''Popular Mechanics'' under his mattress. |
| 349 | * In the opening of one ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' episode, a kid isn't so much distressed that his mother has found his Porn Stash... but more worried that she'd also discover the handgun hidden underneath, that he'd picked on a crime scene. |
| 350 | * ''Series/TheNightOf'': After Nasir is imprisoned on rape and murder charges, his mother searches his room looking for anything that might get used against him. She stumbles across a stack of ''Maxim'' magazines hidden in his closet. Nasir is so innocent that his porn stash doesn't even have actual porn in it. |
| 351 | * ''Series/NoahsArc'': In the first episode, Noah is trying to find Wade's stash to determine if he's gay or straight. |
| 352 | * In the ''Series/OrphanBlack'' episode "Conditions of Existence", Allison suspects her husband of being in on TheConspiracy, so she starts going through his things. She keeps finding places where he's hiding stuff from her, but they all turn out to be porn [=DVDs=] instead of sinister conspiracy-related material. |
| 353 | * In the premiere of ''Series/{{Pose}}'', Damon's father finds a gay porn magazine in Damon's room and throws him out of the house. Definitely not PlayedForLaughs. |
| 354 | * The porn buddy idea was also done on ''Series/QueerAsFolkUK''. After attending a friend's funeral Stuart and Vince go to his house and take all his porn so his mother won't find it. |
| 355 | * In the pilot episode of ''Series/ShamelessUS'' (the American version), Lip discovers a porn stash behind his brother Ian's dresser. Although the folder is covered with pictures of semi-dressed women, Lip discovers it's actually full of gay porn. Although Ian doesn't immediately come out to his brother when confronted with it, by the end of the episode they're joking about who they've gotten blowjobs from. |
| 356 | * In ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'', Sherlock off-handedly mentions that John has "naked women" on his laptop; it's fairly clear that he's not referring to artistic nudes. |
| 357 | * ''Series/SixFeetUnder'': David and Keith, when first fostering Anthony and Durrell, find them giggling at their porn stash. David freaks out and declares that they have to throw it all away, despite the fact that it was hidden and the kids must have gone snooping for it. As it turns out, the stash is big enough to fill two large trash bags. |
| 358 | * Used to great effect in ''Series/{{Skins}}'' when Katie, who had spent half a season willfully ignoring it, was forced to acknowledge her twin sister's lesbianism when she stumbled upon her porn-stash. |
| 359 | -->'''Katie:''' What's in the box, James?\ |
| 360 | '''James:''' It's a secret. Oh!\ |
| 361 | '''Katie:''' I'm waiting.\ |
| 362 | '''James:''' Ok, ok. Fannies! It's full of fannies! |
| 363 | * ''Series/TheSopranos''. Tony Soprano's kid isn't concerned when told that the FBI might execute a search warrant on their house, until his sister points out that he might want to delete all the illegally-downloaded porn on his computer. |
| 364 | * In the ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekEnterpriseS02E022Cogenitor Cogenitor]]", our heroes make FirstContact with a [[BizarreAlienSexes tri-gendered species]]. When Trip wonders aloud how such a species goes about the business of reproduction, Phlox eagerly offers to share his porn collection. [[TooMuchInformation Trip quickly demures]]. |
| 365 | --> '''Phlox:''' Well, [[VerbalTic hmm hmm]], I have ''pictures''! |
| 366 | * ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has a RunningGag of Dean liking the porn website Busty Asian Beauties. In "[[Recap/SupernaturalS08E17GoodbyeStranger Goodbye Stranger]]", when Dean is exploring the bunker of the [[AllMenArePerverts supposedly more cultured]] Men of Letters, he finds a first edition 1950s magazine titled ''Voluptuous Asian Lovelies''. |
| 367 | * ''Series/Titans2018'': When Dick Grayson searches a hidden wall compartment in Jason Todd's room, the first thing he finds is a magazine called ''Muddy Duck'', which appears to be a ''Maxim''-expy. It's not shown why he'd be reading a magazine in the first place, but that's probably because Jason didn't want the world's Greatest Detective looking at his internet search history. |
| 368 | * On ''Series/{{Titus}}'', Tommy asks Titus... |
| 369 | -->'''Tommy:''' Titus, if I die, please get the porn from under my bed before my mom cleans out my room. And also, if you look at it, keep an open mind. |
| 370 | * In one episode of ''Series/TopGearUK'', the reward for one of the challenges in the lorry driving contest was "a year's supply of gentlemen's' literature". We could see clearly it was a collection of top-shelf magazines. |
| 371 | * Happens in a ''Series/Tracker2001'' ep, with [[InnocentAliens Cole]] being thrown off by the porn because it's in a teenage boy's room. He doesn't think it's appropriate, and Mel has to explain things a bit. |
| 372 | * ''Series/TrueLife'' explores this in an episode about porn addicts. One man was so addicted to porn that his wife had to put her own password on their computer. ''Which he promptly figured out''. |
| 373 | * In one episode of ''Series/TwoPintsOfLagerAndAPacketOfCrisps'' Donna thinks she is doing Gaz a favour by tidying his room. He is horrified to find it has been completely girlified, then panickedly murmurs "me porn!" rushes to his gigantic porn cupboard, and then opens it to discover it's full of teddies (the bear, not the lingerie). Cue the BigNo. My |
| 374 | * Subverted in ''Series/UltramanGeed''. Episode 12 have Sui bunking into Riku's (Ultraman Geed's human form) apartment and, having a Little Star which grants him the power to perceive anything, says he knows all of Riku's secrets, including what Riku is hiding underneath his futon (causing the boy to go wide-eyed and stammer, "Don't mention that!"). Nearly ten episodes later, [[BrickJoke we finally found out]] the stash under Riku's futon to be... a {{Toku}} magazine. |
| 375 | * ''Series/VeronicaMars'': |
| 376 | ** Veronica goes to a boy's house looking for evidence that he is planning to blow up the school, but instead finds his "Petite Blondes" porn. Veronica remarks, "At least I know I'm his type." |
| 377 | ** In another episode, she finds where [[spoiler: Aaron Echolls keeps his homemade-without-permission-starring-underage-girls porn in a locked cabinet in the bedroom, along with the sophisticated equipment he uses to run the several cameras.]] |
| 378 | * Aaron on ''Series/{{Wonderfalls}}'', obviously afraid that his parents will snoop, keeps his porn stash locked in a ''safe''. |
| 379 | * ''Series/TheXFiles'': |
| 380 | ** There are regular jokes about Mulder's porn stash (which in one episode was implied to take up his entire bedroom, in addition to what he kept stashed around the office). Unusually for the trope, he made no real attempt to keep it a secret from Scully, and she didn't seem to care, aside from occasionally teasing him a little. [[note]]This has become HarsherInHindsight looking back, as David Duchovny went into rehab for sex addiction in 2008. [[/note]] |
| 381 | ** It's implied that ChivalrousPervert Frohike also has an impressive stash, and the first thing Mulder says with being reunited with Frohike after being thought dead is that Frohike will have to wait a bit longer to inherit Mulder's stash. |
| 382 | * ''Series/{{Yellowjackets}}'': In "[[Recap/YellowjacketsS1E3TheDollhouse The Dollhouse]]" a group of flight crash survivors is stranded in the Canadian wilderness. They manage to find an abandoned cabin with only a few supplies and rotten food, but a large stash of porn. As one of them puts it: |
| 383 | -->'''Van:''' We might be stuck in the middle of nowhere, but hey, at least there is porn. |
| 384 | [[/folder]] |
| 385 | |
| 386 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 387 | * Music/BeastieBoys' "Fight for Your Right (To Party)" includes the lines "Man, living at home is such a drag / Now your mom threw away your best porno mag (bust it!)" |
| 388 | * The Music/MarvinGaye song "Sexual Healing" was inspired by one of Gaye's friends seeing his massive porn collection and telling him, "Man, you need some sexual healing!" |
| 389 | [[/folder]] |
| 390 | |
| 391 | [[folder:Podcasts]] |
| 392 | * ''Podcast/RandomAssault'': Used quite often when discussing porn. |
| 393 | * In an ''Podcast/RPPRActualPlay'' episode, this is made ''[[RoomFullOfCrazy horrifying]]'' to the point of inducing SAN loss in Caleb's scenario "Lover In the Ice". |
| 394 | [[/folder]] |
| 395 | |
| 396 | [[folder:Roleplay]] |
| 397 | * ''Roleplay/{{A Shock to the System|Roleplay}}'' has the protagonist [[KleptomaniacHeroFoundUnderwear find a naughty magazine on a thumb drive.]] It comes in handy later, as it's used for distracting an enemy. |
| 398 | [[/folder]] |
| 399 | |
| 400 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 401 | * ''TabletopGame/DeadReign'' gives players a 20% chance of finding one of these when searching in an adult bedroom. Not really much use in a ZombieApocalypse, but hey... |
| 402 | [[/folder]] |
| 403 | |
| 404 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 405 | * ''VideoGame/AITheSomniumFiles:'' [[Characters/AITheSomniumFilesKanameDate Date]] stashes porn in almost ''every'' corner of his apartment-inside his computer, the sounds system, his sofa, you name it. His daughter [[Characters/AITheSomniumFilesMizukiDate Mizuki]] usually throws it away or deletes it when she finds it. |
| 406 | -->'''Mizuki (nonchalantly):''' "Date, the hard drive was full again. I had to make space, so I deleted all your cuckoldry videos."\ |
| 407 | '''Date (seething):''' "First, I told you, [[InsistentTerminology those are "husbandry" videos]]. Second, [[SuddenlyShouting WHY?! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!]]" |
| 408 | * A sidequest in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'' has you recovering arms dealer Marcus's most valued treasure: dirty pics of his ex-wife [[MsFanservice Moxxi]]. After you get the pics, however, Moxxi pipes up and wants you to get the pics back for her so that she can post them online. |
| 409 | ** Several of the sidequests you get from Scooter have optional objectives of collecting dirty magazines for him. |
| 410 | ** Not to mention the Dumpster Diving sidequest in the first game, in which an NPC asks you to retrieve the porn mags that his angry wife threw out. |
| 411 | * In ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'', no sooner has Momo told the heroes about what a great man her late father was, then they enter his private lab... and find out that ''every'' shelf in there is filled with "adult material". (If you try to read it, the game gives them the message "you're not old enough.") |
| 412 | * In the ''VideoGame/ChaosRings'' games, the ShopFodder takes the form of magazines, [=DVDs=] and the like that were taken from the resident shopkeeper Piu-Piu and he'll pay you to get them back. And considering that Piu-Piu is a LovableSexManiac, it's not hard to guess what this collection consists of. |
| 413 | * In one of the sidequests in ''VideoGame/CrisisCore'', Yuffie ends up finding Shinra [[FanGirl secretaries]]' "treasure", which elicits the following reaction: |
| 414 | -->'''Yuffie:''' Nasty pictures! Ewww!! Sickos! Are Shinra employees trained to put TRASH in their treasure chests!? |
| 415 | * [[LovableSexManiac Taichi]] from ''VisualNovel/CrossChannel'' had one, until Touko found it and burned it. |
| 416 | * A few antique black-and-white cheesecake photos can be found in a desk drawer while searching the Dowerton Hotel in ''VideoGame/DarkFall: the Journal''. |
| 417 | * The indie game ''VideoGame/DestroyThePorn'' is about Joe, a guy who dies, goes to Hell, and demands Satan let him go back to Earth to destroy his enormous porn stash before his mom finds it. |
| 418 | * ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series: |
| 419 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' has a VIP room in one of the cities where you find a porno mag on the bookshelf. The screen turns pink and the music changes to reflect the mood. |
| 420 | ** ''VIdeoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', in the updated translation for the GBA port, reveals that the 'Book of Secrets' in Cyan's treasure chest in the World of Ruin is actually a copy of 'Bushido in the Bedroom'. |
| 421 | ** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' has you finding a copy of "The Girl Next Door" early on in the game. You trade it for a Shiva Card for the Triple Triad game later on. |
| 422 | * Isabela of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' has apparently been helping [[PlayerCharacter Hawke]] build one, judging by their comments if you click the bookcase in their Estate. |
| 423 | -->'''Hawke:''' Better keep Isabela's books on the top shelf; I don't want to scar [[IdiotSavant Sandal]].\ |
| 424 | '''Hawke:''' "''101 Uses for a Phallic Tuber''". Thanks, Isabela, [[{{Squick}} that's a hundred too many]]. |
| 425 | ** Ever the generous soul, Isabela similarly provides for Bethany should she be taken to the Circle, but the books get confiscated for being "non-curricular." |
| 426 | * You can sometimes find copies of books like 'The Lusty Argonian Maid' under NPC's beds or in bedroom-chests when snooping around houses in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion'' as well as ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim''. |
| 427 | ** Another book in the Elder Scrolls series, The Wolf Queen I, briefly mentions that Prince Antiochus, son of Pelagius II and brother of the titular Potema, had a "secret stash of [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom Khajiiti]] pornography" while going on about young Potema's early lockpicking and blackmailing exploits. |
| 428 | * ''VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia'': Rin and Saber go looking for Shirou's porn stash in one scene, while Shirou stealthily observes. They find one magazine hidden under a floorboard, which overjoys Rin that she now has more [[TheTease ammo to embarrass Shirou with]], while Saber is mostly just irritated that there aren't any blondes in it. Shirou finally walks in and plays off the magazine as a possession of Shinji's from when they used to be friends, which the girls accept as an explanation. Shirou mentally notes that he's glad they didn't find the ''real'' stash. |
| 429 | ** In ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', Mash warns [[MissionControl Dr. Roman]] that she knows all about the "secret" folder he has on Chaldea's servers and will delete it if he doesn't behave himself. |
| 430 | * ''Videogame/GoneHome:'' One of the clues to the game's mystery is these. Both Sam and her father have erotic magazines hidden in the house [[spoiler:— and they're the same men's magazine.]] |
| 431 | * In ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII'' in the mission "Big'n'Veiny" Claude has to retrieve some porn magazines for a man named El Burro. After doing so he gives you a stack of them by your first safe house. |
| 432 | * In the backstory of ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'', Travis Tate, the resident NightmareFetishist on [[spoiler:Project Zero Dawn, specifically the lead programmer of the HADES subfunction of GAIA]], complains that he lost ''350 kilograms'' of "pre-Code smut comics" in transit to the GAIA Prime facility as recorded in the [[https://horizon.fandom.com/wiki/GAIA_Prime_Arrival_Log Arrival Log]]. |
| 433 | * ''Lacy Comic'' from ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'', which a comic editor finds in his office and decides to burn it along with other things he has. TheHero's team tries to stop him, thinking he's going to burn a special move manual. The book ends up in the hands of [[{{Gonk}} Kabeyama]], who later spends sometime later reading it. Somehow, the said manual's really hidden inside that Hentai manga. |
| 434 | * In ''[[VideoGame/LegendOfLegaia Legaia II: Duel Saga]]'', there is an optional cutscene where Sharon finds Lang's stash at his house under the bed. Kind of averted in that Sharon seems to find it cute and funny instead of getting angry. |
| 435 | ** For what it's worth, you end up finding the Kama Sutra among the books at the monk temple in the first ''VideoGame/LegendOfLegaia'' game. Understandable, considering it's a ''monk temple.'' |
| 436 | * In ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'', Joker has a rather large porn stash that EDI sometimes comments on. In between the second and third game, it seems Cerberus's cyberwarfare division decided to attempt a remote take-over of Normandy. [[SpaceshipGirl EDI]], being unshackled and in full control of the Normandy's systems, naturally repulsed the attempt and retaliated by bombarding the Cerbies with spam data comprised of the seven zettabytes worth of Joker's porn. She ''weaponized the porn stash''. She was joking about it all being Joker's though. |
| 437 | ** A funny/sad log in the third game in a trip to an alien monastery for what are essentially [[OurVampiresAreDifferent alien vampires]] reveals that the younger ones are going to finally make use of their most treasured and carefully-hidden contraband object: a romantic movie depicting two "glamorous" alien women in a relationship. Since they're bound by law and morality to remain celibate for their entire lives, their excitement over an implicitly tame film, and the strict control over such "tempting" items, offers an insight into their lives that's both disturbing and poignant - especially knowing the body-counts accrued by those who decide the rules don't apply to them... |
| 438 | * In the first ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1'' game, checking out the bookshelf in Dex's house reveals that he keeps his adult comics there. Dex is, at most, [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior eleven or twelve]]. |
| 439 | * ''VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII'' has Steamax throwing porn mags that he had in person on the floor to distract Neptune (who is transformed as [[LadyOfWar Purple Heart]]), IF, and Compa. Take note, said porn mag is for male readers. ''[[HilarityEnsues It works]]'' as the trio are distracted at it. |
| 440 | * At one point in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'', Raiden can overhear a parrot making raunchy noises and chanting 'top of locker!' after overhearing an animated conversation between two guards. Kicking the relevant locker causes an impressive amount of pornography to fall from its top. |
| 441 | * ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'': |
| 442 | ** During Yosuke's social link, he comes over to your room and outright asks if "the goods [are] under the futon?" You can then deny it or say yes. Yosuke remarks that he used to keep his there, too, until his mom found it during cleaning. The scene ends with Yosuke actually walking to your futon, saying: "Alright. Let's check under that futon..." while you, the main character, start to panic. What Yosuke finds there is left up to you. |
| 443 | ** If you take Rise (a girl) into your room she'll look around a bit before outright demanding to know "where you hide them." You can casually answer you hide them under the futon, but she's more amused than anything and not really upset. On the other hand, saying you don't know what she means has her amused by your innocence, and denying you have a stash altogether has her impressed that you would be such a gentleman. [[AllWomenAreLustful Then she offers you pictures of her in a bikini]]. |
| 444 | * In ''VideoGame/StardewValley'' during [[spoiler:Pierre's]] six-heart event, you wander into his bedroom and find his "secret stash" hidden away behind a bookcase. While what exactly this stash is isn't explicitly stated, given where you find it, [[spoiler:Pierre's]] reaction when he catches you red-handed, and his concerns that you will specifically tell his ''wife'' (whom you have the option of insisting "deserves to know"), it's not hard to connect the dots. |
| 445 | * In at least the FanTranslation of ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'', if you have Duran in your party and attempt to enter Duran's house in Valsena, he'll force the party out. If you ''also'' have Angela in your party, she'll tease Duran by pretending to assume that this is the reason why. |
| 446 | -->'''Duran:''' Let's skip this one house, it's mine. I promised not to return until [[spoiler: I defeated Koren]].\ |
| 447 | '''Angela:''' Aw, I wanted to see your room. But if you're hiding anything, like your porn collection, I understand.\ |
| 448 | '''Duran:''' ''[flustered]'' Oh, SHUT UP! |
| 449 | * According to his grandson Quark, Tenmyouji from ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'' has a collection of "Grandpa videos" at home that he keeps under lock and key and only watches in private. One of the unlockable files says that they aren't actually porn, just regular movies that aren't appropriate for kids to watch, but those same files have some pretty bizarre things to say about other characters, so they may not be entirely trustworthy. |
| 450 | * ''VideoGame/WatchDogs'': During "The Rat's Lair" mission that involved T-Bone infiltrating [[TheCracker Defalt]]'s base, he also found out a USB stick full of [[GirlOnGirlIsHot lesbian porn]]. |
| 451 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Wild ARMs 3}}'', you find some "adult magazines" in a bookshelf, but trying to read them gives you a message saying you're not old enough. Get your Migrant Level up to 18, however... and you [[spoiler:''[[{{Superboss}} fight the porn stash!!]]'']] |
| 452 | * Implied in a Substory in ''Videogame/Yakuza0'', where after Kiryu manages to purchase a porn mag for a young child after making the kid promise to only read it when no one's around he warns him to not bother hiding it under his bed because it's not as safe as he thinks, with a particularly pained expression implying that this comes from personal experience. |

| 456 | * ''WebAnimation/EtraChanSawIt'': |
| 457 | ** In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43N6btydlrI one story]], it's discovered Tokusa was hiding a porn magazine in one of Karin's books. And for some reason, he's surprised when Karin finds out about it, even though this was a book she needed for her job. The only thing that actually was surprising under those conditions was that Karin found out because of Akane trying to steal that book rather than on her own. |
| 458 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eB3f1oMcYI Akamatsu]] buried a tin box with porn magazines at a construction site, unwittingly causing people to be curious regarding the content inside the box. |
| 459 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsmgjBPtpOQ Akamatsu's wife Karin debunks the rumors about him being gay]] to her former co-workers by searching through his laptop, she happens to find his collections of porn inside it. |
| 460 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqQvP7bgPU Akamatsu]] hid a bunch of erotic magazines in the ceiling over his sister Tsutsuji's closet and gets defensive when Tsutsuji asks what he's doing there. |
| 461 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyq0v_6wvWM Azami]] hides a lot of erotic magazines in her room and is so secretive about it that she takes a lot of measures to keep it from being discovered. |

| 466 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Achewood}}'', when Teodor asks why Lyle still buys print porn, he remarks "Think about it. The power goes out, who holds all the cards?" |
| 467 | * ''ComicBook/{{Buck Godot|Zap Gun for Hire}}'': [[http://www.airshipentertainment.com/buckcomic.php?date=20090516 Even nigh-omnipotent alien overseers have them]]. |
| 468 | ** Which makes sense. The Gallimaufry station has had its computer system altered, re-organized & rewritten many times over the ''known'' history of the station. So of course any smart entity will have an offline copy that can't be tampered with the next time there is a "re-organization". |
| 469 | * This ''Webcomic/CityOfReality'' side-comic reveals that Todo has [[http://kdingo.net/champ/pics/main.php?g2_itemId=10895 really dirty magazines]] under his bed. |
| 470 | * ''[[Webcomic/CtrlAltDel Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'' Gives us this gem: |
| 471 | -->'''Lucas:''' No! Fuck you! I am ''not'' downloading 160 GB of porn for you! |

| 473 | ** Though with a pseudo-subversive role-reversal. |
| 474 | * In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', when Rhea [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2013-05-10 teases Diane about not being an adult]] until the exact time of her birth (ten to midnight), Diane says she's going on the computer. Rhea replies "Stay out of the folder named 'Gender Studies' until eleven fifty!" |
| 475 | * ''Webcomic/ExterminatusNow'' takes it to extremes, as [[CasanovaWannabe Eastwood]] has the largest porn stash on the planet, which crashed the Inquisition's servers at one point. |
| 476 | * ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': It's not ''quite'' porn, but Gilgamesh Wulfenbach showed Agatha into his heavily populated bookshelf and offered her pick... and she went straight for ''In the Seraglio of the Iron Sheik''. It's possible she didn't get the reference, however. |
| 477 | ** Though ServileSnarker Wooster does his best to "help" her with that. |
| 478 | --->'''Agatha:''' ...In the Seraglio of the Iron Sheik?\ |
| 479 | '''Wooster:''' A particular favorite, I believe.\ |
| 480 | '''Gil:''' ''[turning a lovely shade of pink]'' Wooster, go clean the lab.\ |
| 481 | '''Wooster:''' Gone, sir. |
| 482 | ** Which is more of a lesson in "Why one should not hire university friends as one's valet." |
| 483 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Greg}}'', Ted gives Greg advice on how to consolidate his porn stash since Greg's four feet high mountain of DVD spindles full of porn might be construed as super perversion. |
| 484 | * ''Webcomic/{{Insecticomics}}'' has a rather mind-bending example when Sideways infiltrates Shrapnel's computer... then with a horrified shriek, demands to know why he has TWO GIGS of [[MemeticMutation LOCUST PORN]]. HilarityEnsues [[http://www.insecticons.com/insecticomics/v3/213.html here.]] |
| 485 | * ''Webcomic/JuvenileDiversion'': |

| 487 | ** And much later, Alicia in [[FreakyFridayFlip Kyle's body]] discovers [[http://jdcomic.com/comic/a-simple-plan/ Kyle's room]]... and [[http://jdcomic.com/comic/censored/ redecorates it]]. |
| 488 | * In ''Webcomic/KarateBears'' one guy shows his Playboy Stash to [[http://www.karatebears.com/2012/02/playboy.html some girls who thought they were going to make out!]] |
| 489 | * This isn't [[http://gigaville.com/comic.php?id=282 a physical porn stash]]… ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'' comic. |
| 490 | * ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}'' has Ben find a porn file on Jodie's computer, only to be {{Squick}}ed when he opens it to find gay porn. |
| 491 | -->'''Jodie:''' When a man and another man and a black man and a bottle of lube love each other very very much… |
| 492 | ** [[http://the-qlc.com/loserz/go/333 Ben has one of them too.]] |
| 493 | * Piro from ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'' confessed having "embarrassing pictures" of Miho on his laptop... [[IntimateTelecommunications apparently sent by Miho herself]]. |
| 494 | ** And Yuki blackmails her older brother by threatening to reveal his stash of adult games to their mom. |
| 495 | * ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'' takes a different approach. Ash [[GenderBender used to be a guy]] but is now a girl and living in a world in which he always was a girl from almost everyone else's point of view. When Emily (who is one of the few who knows) sleeps over he thinks that "at least there aren't any porn magazines under my bed for her to find." [[http://misfile.com/?page=44 But there are, they've just been corrected for the universe]] (e.g. whatever it was is now "[[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Heaven]]"), {{squick}}ing Ash out. |
| 496 | * ''[[Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures MSPA]]'': |
| 497 | ** In both ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' and ''Webcomic/{{Jailbreak}}''. ''Problem Sleuth'' has his Hunk Rump magazines, and so does one of the characters in Jailbreak. At one point, he even attempts to cheer up another character with them. |
| 498 | ** ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': |
| 499 | *** During the Midnight Crew intermission, each Midnight Crew member has [[DeathDealer a card]] that turns into a pornographic magazine, often revealed at embarrassing moments. Such magazines include ''Black Inches'', ''Red Cheeks'' (which is all about hearts) and ... ''Terrier Fancy''? |
| 500 | *** Equius Zahhak has a not-so-hidden collection of musclebeast furry porn. And in the interactive flashes, you can find more in chests. |
| 501 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' it's suggested that the whole reason Lupin Madblood built a room that was invisible to his supercomputer in order to hide his Hustler collection. |
| 502 | ** Also, at one point Artie overwrites the Dave Conspiracy's files with a collection of gerbil pictures that he says is "a deeply valued porn collection". |
| 503 | * ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': |
| 504 | ** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0188.html It doesn't even have to be a human]], in fact. |
| 505 | ** The awkward moment when Elan [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0389.html tells]] Julio Scoundrèl that his mom has a collection of "pictures of you in the drawer by the bed she thinks I don't know about". |
| 506 | * ''Webcomic/{{Outsider}}'': {{Subverted|Trope}}; [[https://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider157.html a dumbed-down version]] of [[ArtificialIntelligence the Historian's program]] hides itself in [[SoleSurvivor Alex's]] datapad under a "PORN" icon to keep the [[SpaceElves Loroi]] from discovering it. |
| 507 | * In one strip of ''ComicStrip/ThePerryBibleFellowship'', several boys using a Ouija board are guided to [[http://pbfcomics.com/220/ Grandpa's stash]] of girly books. |
| 508 | * ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': |
| 509 | ** Hannelore asks Pintsize to find pictures of sexy firemen (although it's debatable that it was porn, ''per se''). She seems to have lost interest after meeting a real fireman and realizing they're rather sweaty and unhygienic from the bulky protective suits. |
| 510 | ** [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1414 Pintsize's harddrive is..rather full.]] |
| 511 | *** When TheSingularity hits, he will ''[[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence become porn]]''. |
| 512 | ** When Hannelore cleaned Marigold's apartment, she was told that she had mixed up Marigold's yaoi with everything else. After being shown just what yaoi is, Hannelore immediately begs to keep it. Whether she gets converted to a fully-fledged YaoiFangirl remains to be seen. |
| 513 | ** Played for Drama when Dora pesters Marten about his PornStash, citing that she's never seen it before. Marten refuses, claiming it's private. Dora then goes onto his computer to find it--and when Marten catches her, he completely flips his shit about her violating his privacy. [[spoiler: It's the catalyst for them breaking up.]] |
| 514 | * Subverted in ''Webcomic/RealLifeComics'' with Liz being quite cool with the [[http://www.reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=title-2125 Box O'Porn]]. Maybe because Greg does not seem to need it that much these days. |
| 515 | * Played with in ''Webcomic/RedString''. Reika notices a stack of magazines under Eiji's bed. When she pulls one out, he turns red and begs her not to look at it. It turns out he subscribes to girly romance manga. |
| 516 | * [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=528 This]] ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'' strip. |
| 517 | -->'''Art:''' Have you been using my laptop again?\ |
| 518 | '''Kat:''' I like the way that folder is marked [[SexualEuphemism "reference material"]]. |
| 519 | * Overlaps with PersonalEffectsReveal in [[https://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1187 this]] ''Webcomic/SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal'' strip where someone is horrified to find their late father's stash filed in labeled categories by degree of {{squick}}iness. |
| 520 | * Not porn, but similar: in ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'', Jhim's mom helps him move into a new place. Upon seeing the box labelled "Toys", she says, "How cute, you kept all your old Transformers and things!" and opens it. Naturally, they are not that kind of toy. |
| 521 | * ''Webcomic/SpiderWebs'' is [[http://www.tfsnewworld.com/2009/09/14/453/ taking the Misfile route]]. |
| 522 | * A slight variation in ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'' has [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/sticky-dilly-buns/time-to-bond-with-my-sister Ruby discovering her sister Amber's stash]] -- of [=DVDs=] in which Amber ''appeared''. This doesn't help these two's slightly difficult relationship. Incidentally, Amber had that stash around following [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/menage-a-3/all-of-them an earlier scene]] in the related ''Webcomic/MenageA3''. It must logically be just a subset of Gary's stash. |
| 523 | * Hunter of ''Webcomic/SuicideForHire'' has his [[http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20071024.html perfectly visible]] in the corporate headquarters of his [[SarcasmMode respectable]] [[MurderInc business]]. |
| 524 | * In ''Webcomic/TsunamiChannel'', Onii-chan himself has no Porn Stash, but the Professor keeps trying to smuggle some {{Hentai}} to him, much to his dismay. |
| 525 | * ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'', of course, has a [[http://xkcd.com/981/ weird example]]. |

| 530 | * ''Website/SCPFoundation'': |
| 531 | ** Subverted with [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-335 SCP-335]]. Upon inspection, it believed that the doctor who presided over SCP-335 had used its infinite storage space to store his porn. However, it turns out the 150 disks actually contain the entirety of the internet and that the first 12 contained all of the pornography. |
| 532 | ** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5751 SCP-5751]] is a phenomenon where destroyed disc-based media (floppy discs, DVD discs, etc) reappears after its owner's death. One of the recreated discs was the "immaculately catalogued" porn stash of a Foundation doctor killed in a containment breach. |
| 533 | * A teenage girl on ''Website/NotAlwaysRight'' is awfully concerned about [[https://notalwaysright.com/raw-and-exposed-data/114888/ whether a recent laptop repair affected the pictures she'd saved to it]]. The repair shop worker opens the pictures folder to show her and her father nothing was affected... only to realize the pictures in question are of nude men displaying their parts. |

She remarks on all the porn magazines floating near his mattress, asking "Why are so many of these girls Asian? And pregnant?" Steve rushes her along, saying NothingToSeeHere. |
| 546 | * Subverted in ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'': Carl has no problem with openly displaying his Porn Stash. |
| 547 | * In ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'', Stewart's father is shown to have a hidden porn collection much to their amusement. |
| 548 | ** [[{{Jerkass}} When the mother finds the stash, the father denies it's his and pins it on Stewart.]] |
| 549 | * In the “Unknown Serial Killer” episode of ''WesternAnimation/CelebrityDeathmatch'', Nick and Johnny enlist GeraldoRivera's help to find the killer who has already slain Drew Barrymore and Jamie Lee Curtis [[EveryoneHasStandards (having the audacity to do so outside the Deathmatch ring)]]. Geraldo fails to find the killer, but he does find something else interesting: |
| 550 | -->'''Geraldo:''' I'm just about to enter this darkened room, which may contain the serial killer. Okay, here goes. ''[walks into the room and hits the lights]'' Oh my God! This is definitely the secret lair of a sick and twisted individual! There's pornography all over the desk! Pornography on the bookshelves! We're even finding pornography hidden under other pornography!\ |
| 551 | '''Nick:''' Uh, Geraldo... uhm... That happens to be ''my'' office... |
| 552 | * In the third season ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' episode, "Speedtrapped", Daria has to go and look for a notebook under the bed of Trent, the older brother of her best friend, Jane. Daria has somewhat of a crush on Trent and says to herself as she starts to look under the bed, "Please, God, no amusing surprises." |
| 553 | * The ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' episode "Luck of the Ed" has Eddy trying to hide some pin-up magazines he inherited from his big brother... and then having to track them down again after Ed forgets where he put them. |
| 554 | ** He also has some under his bed. Along with tissues. |
| 555 | ** There was a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npDRot9ZsQ4&feature=related bumper]] involving a Porn Stash too. Sorta. |
| 556 | ** In the episode where Ed is grumpy because [[spoiler:he has a pebble in his shoe]], Edd and Eddy try to find something to cheer him up. They find under his bed a magazine titled "Chicks Galore." Let's just say it's not the "chicks" that Eddy was thinking of. |
| 557 | --->'''Edd:''' I didn't even know they had magazines like this. |
| 558 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' episode "Hard Copy", Timmy receives a magic photocopier and the plot stops Timmy short of copying anything from his father's "Under the Bed Monthy" magazines. |

| 560 | ** And the episode where Peter gave his "skin bin" to Chris. |
| 561 | ** In "Baby Not on Board", Stewie crawls under Chris' bed and finds some porn magazines. He is then curious as to what a vagina looks like. He looks through the magazine and reacts in horror and shoots it with a machine gun. |
| 562 | ** Parodied in a cutaway gag about Genesis. God instructs the first humans to stay away from the tree of knowledge, unbeknownst to them that it's where he keeps his pile of dirty mags. |
| 563 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' |
| 564 | ** "Bender's Big Score", Bender keeps fifty terabytes of robot porn on his hard drive. It's all deleted when the Time Code is erased. |
| 565 | --->'''Robot Voice:''' Time Code and Obedience Virus Erased. Also fifty terabytes of porn.\ |
| 566 | '''Bender:''' Hey!\ |
| 567 | '''Nudar:''' You've got no code, no porn, ''and'' you're ugly! Let's dance! |
| 568 | ** A more recent episode suggested that he replaced it with 1000TB, and that the rest of his consciousness is just over one Terabyte. |
| 569 | * ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': |
| 570 | ** A [[FamilyFriendlyMatureContent G-rated version]] appears in "Scary-oke", when Dipper finds a stash of [[PoorMansPorn fashion magazines like "Lady Swimwear" and "Fully-Clothed Women Magazine"]] in a trunk in Grunkle Stan's office. |
| 571 | --->'''Dipper:''' Euw! Pretending I never saw that... |
| 572 | ** In "Roadside Attraction", Mabel says she was checking around the attic where they sleep and that she found a box that says DO NO TOUCH hidden under his bed. When the box is accidentally opened, they discover a bunch of photos of Wendy (albeit fully clothed). Consider the previous episode with the [[DirtyMindReading mind reader device]] foreshadowing. |
| 573 | * The quote is from ''WesternAnimation/MissionHill'', though like Jim says it is not Andy's PornStash. It initially looks like a PornStash, since it is a large, taped-up cardboard box filled with VHS tapes and covered in warnings to stay away, that Kevin finds in Andy's closet, but the tapes are actually the master tapes of Andy's appearance on ''Series/TheRealWorld''. |
| 574 | ** It's mentioned that the box is far too small to contain Andy's PornStash. |
| 575 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpy'' episode "I Was a Teenage Stimpy" Stimpy is going through puberty and swipes Ren's '''Corn''' collection, to his anger. |
| 576 | * There is an episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' which centers around the babies trying to get into Phil and Lil's father's locked desk. Once they do they empty the contents and for a split second you can see a magazine with a [[PlayboyBunny woman dressed as a bunny on the cover]]. |
| 577 | ** Leads to some interesting lines of thought on their parents - their father is the small, soft-spoken type and his wife is the big athletic one. |
| 578 | * Rare female example in ''WesternAnimation/{{Sealab 2021}}'' with Debbie. Not porn per se, but when she dumps Quinn and takes up religion she gives her box of sex toys to Hesh. |
| 579 | ** "The big black one's their leader!" |
| 580 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': |
| 581 | ** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS16E2AllsFairInOvenWar All's Fair in Oven War]]", Marge finds Homer's collection of vintage ''Playdude'' magazines. Homer claims that he is keeping them for the articles. Marge tests this by cutting out all of the pictures of naked women, after which Homer throws out the magazines. It's at this point that Bart and Milhouse discover them and are confused as to why ''Playdude'' is such a big deal... |
| 582 | ** From "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS4E1KampKrusty Kamp Krusty]]": |
| 583 | -->"Don't look in my closet. In fact, stay out of my room altogether." |
| 584 | ** An early episode clearly shows a "Playdude" under Bart's bed. |
| 585 | ** Subverted in a later episode: Homer shows Barney his stash of adult magazines -- such hot numbers as [[spoiler:''Magazine/TheEconomist''.]] |
| 586 | ** It's not ''quite'' pornography, but it's in the same spirit; in "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS5E14LisaVsMalibuStacy Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy]]", Lisa visits Smithers to ask about Malibu Stacy information and Smithers goes to use his computer to get an address for her. Cue his personalised start-up routine. |
| 587 | --->'''Naked Upper Body of Mr Burns:''' Hello, Smithers. You're quite good at turning me on.\ |
| 588 | '''Smithers:''' Uhm. You probably should just ignore that. |
| 589 | ** In "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E9SideshowBobsLastGleaming Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming]]", after Bob reveals his threat and the military base is searched, Col. Hapablap angrily tells the assembled other officers, "Bob is not here. We have searched every square inch of this base and all we have found is porno, porno, porno!" and then throws down several such magazines, including "Granny Fanny" and "Cheek Week" to emphasize it. (In the next scene, Mayor Quimby orders the "esteemed representatives of television" to enter, one of which is Krusty; when he sees the magazines, he shouts, "Hey, hey!

| 590 | ** Speaking of Krusty, in [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E15HomieTheClown Homie the Clown]], Homer (as a Krusty impersonator) is discovering that Krusty gets all kinds of perks from the people of Springfield. In this case he finds out that Apu gives him a 5% discount on all purchases since Krusty's insatiable need for pornography magazines kept the Kwik-E-Mart in business during its first year. He then hands Homer (Krusty) his newest issue of "Gigantic Asses". |

| 594 | * The [[InfractionDistraction "porn stash to hide something else"]] idea is sometimes used in cryptography. Much cryptographic software that creates encrypted files or partitions (such as [=VeraCrypt=]) has support for a "hidden partition" within the normally encrypted file/partition, which becomes visible only if you know the password of said hidden partition. (Without knowing that it's there it's impossible to even tell that there's a hidden partition; it all just looks like random data.) The idea is that you can put eg. pornographic pictures in the normal section and what you ''really'' want to hide in the hidden partition. If you are forced to reveal the password to the encrypted file, you can give out the normal password which just opens your "porn stash" section, making it believable that ''that'' was what you were trying to hide. The actual secret files will still be safe and unretrievable in the hidden partition, whose very existence is impossible to detect. |
| 595 | * Interestingly, fitness videos were a popular "visible" porn stash. While not exactly "PoorMansPorn", you could leave them out in the open on the excuse that you were doing aerobics. Before videos, physique magazines served that purpose. Since the target readership of physique magazines was largely gay men, physique magazines offered the added advantage of PlausibleDeniability regarding the owner's sexual orientation. |
| 596 | * The CIA reported that they found a huge porn stash on the seized computer of none other than UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden, though they won't release it due to the nature of the content. Obviously, this makes his entire Salafi propaganda extra hypocritical. |
| 597 | * Each of [[http://newspapers.com/image/295758540/?terms=air%2Bforce%2Bnurses%2Bplaygirl these]] Air Force nurses had a stack of ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}s'' and ''Playgirls'' while being tested for weightless space travel in [[UsefulNotes/TheSeventies 1973]]. |
