->''You may have noticed that one of the Series/{{Yo Gabba|Gabba}} monsters is a flexible salami-like creature with one gaping eye at the top. I'm pretty sure I sketched the original design for that in the margin of a chemistry textbook back in 1985.''
-->-- '''Creator/CharlieBrooker''', ''Series/YouHaveBeenWatching''

Let's face it, some characters look odd. Something about their design makes them look ugly, or freaky, or... phallic. Or worse yet, maybe they [[BlackFaceStyleCaricature resemble Blackface]] or the UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan.

The design is obviously unintentional (or at least probably not intended by the majority of the creators), and not meant as a ParentalBonus or GettingCrapPastTheRadar. The offending part is pretty obvious. And it is so distracting that it can ''never be unseen''.

See also: FashionVictimVillain (when the villain has an unconventional taste in fashion), NudeColoredClothes (when a character has the appearance of being naked because they wear clothes the same color as their skin), AccidentalInnuendo (when a statement not intended by the creators to be dirty is still interpreted as something lewd by the audience), and UnfortunateNames (a character's name sounds wrong unintentionally). Will often be NauseaFuel.

* The design of the [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/de/2012_Summer_Olympics_logo.svg London Olympics logo,]] otherwise known as the "[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Lisa Simpson]] Blowjob" logo.
* In a non-sexual example, the logo of the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil]] is surprisingly reminiscent of a {{Facepalm}}. This becomes HilariousInHindsight in light of the [[CurbStompBattle results of the game between Brazil and Germany]], and to a lesser extent, Spain and the Netherlands.
* The Storage Deluxe logo [[http://totallylookslike.icanhascheezburger.com/2010/05/10/storage-deluxe-logo-totally-looks-like-dck-in-a-box/ resembles]] the [[MemeticMutation famous]] "[[Series/SaturdayNightLive Dick in a Box]]" skit.
* Part of the reason why [[Advertising/McDonaldland Mac Tonight]] became a MemeticPsychopath as "Moon Man" was that some people noticed his white crescent moon-shaped head resembles a Klan hood.
* In the Platform/SegaSaturn [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cP3ciD4Efr0 Theatre of the Eye]] commercials, the Cones resemble Klansmen with their white outfits and pointy hats.
* ''Advertising/MonsterCereals'':
** Boo Berry has been hit with unfortunate design choices twice. His original design gave him chains that appeared to be attached where his ''nipples'' should be on his body. Later designs of him removed the chains, but gave him a look that looks like he's permanently blazed.
** Multiple fans have commented how the dents in Frankenberry's head makes it look like a rear end.
* In 2021, the CDC released a PSA image encouraging people to get vaccinated for COVID-19... featuring a character who looked a lot like an [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/npc-wojak NPC Wojak]] with hair. Needless to say, memers had [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2091742-npc-wojak a field day]].

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* The [[HumongousMecha Antibodies]] in ''Anime/BrainPowerd'' have cockpits in their crotches, covered by a long, narrow strip of armour that extends when the pilot wants to climb out.
* Shiro from ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' has a skin-tight bodysuit that's [[NudeColoredClothes very close to the same shade as her skin]], meaning that at first glance she looks totally naked apart from some body paint (which are actually patterns drawn on the suit) and it's even worse in the black-and-white manga since you can't make a comparison between the color of her face and the fabric and realize she ''is'' wearing something.
* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'': The ''Data Squad'' version of Crowmon has a white mane that really stands out thanks to his mostly black and purple design. Said mane is [[http://dma.wtw-x.net/DMA/DigimonStands/Toei/Seppi/Crowmon.jpg braided into a single rope that dangles freely with a bell to each side of it.]] Guess we should call the ''Data Squad'' version the four-legged crow. Also, the very un-wendigo-like Wendigomon from the first ''02'' movie has been compared to a minstrel show for its facial features.
* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': In a random segment in the Cell Saga, Imperfect Cell crosses paths with a sports team who [[BullyingADragon harasses him before getting killed]]. One of the athletes' heads looks just like a penis, which ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' made fun of by [[CensoredForComedy blurring it out]].
* ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'':
** ''Anime/TurnAGundam'': The titular Gundam's cockpit is placed on its crotch. This wouldn't be so bad, if said cockpit wasn't also a detachable aircraft with a translucent orb at its tip.
** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'': The MSJ-06II-ED Tieren Zhizhu, which was intended to guard the [[SpaceElevator Orbital Elevator]], besides some other weapons, has a 30 mm Machine Gun turret attached to its crotch, as you can [[http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/gundam/images/c/c0/MSJ-06II-ED_-_Tieren_Zhizhu_-_Front_View.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110216002050 see for yourself.]]
* The Mega Smasher in ''Manga/{{Guyver}}'' is supposed to be the biobooster’s ultimate weapon, but its unfortunate placement in the chest and the bouncing jelly design of the “lenses” make it look like the Guyver unit wielders are flashing their alien breasts at their opponents before vaporizing them.
* ''Franchise/HelloKitty'': Hello Kitty's main pose is putting her finger to her... [[NoMouth "mouth"]] as if pondering something. However, thanks to the lack of clear digits on her hands, [[http://kittyhell.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/hello-kitty-bank-account.gif it can easily look like she's flipping you off.]]
** It's not just Hello Kitty, other [[Creator/{{Sanrio}} Sanrio Characters]] that are typically depicted with no fingers (such as My Melody and Cinnamoroll) are sometimes seen putting their fingers near their mouths when they are curious, confushed, or deep in thought. But also looks like their flipping you off as well.
* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'':
** One unit of Catholic Knights introduced in the last arc has uniforms [[ShownTheirWork accurately modeled after Spanish penitents]] (as seen in the picture above), which unfortunately is also how post-''Film/{{The Birth of a Nation|1915}}'' KKK members dress. ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'' ran with this by making one of them an ''actual'' Klansman.
** There's also Alucard's glasses that make him look like he has [[https://i.imgur.com/Ao2kyVb.png goofily crossed eyes]]. Once it's been seen it can never be unseen, which can ruin a ''lot'' of scenes with the character, and it ends up being unintentionally so [[{{Narm}} Narmy]]. [[Creator/ChristopherWalken Hi. These are my cactuses. I put googly eyes on them]].
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': Guido Mista, [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind of Part 5 fame]], has a stylized arrow on his hat. Or, at least, what was originally intended to be an arrow. Many fans find his hat ornament to look more like a penis instead, to the extent that "dick hat" is a popular FanNickname for the said head accessory.
* ''Manga/TerraforMars'': At least [[https://thekenpire.com/2015/03/17/terra-formars-is-an-obscenely-racist-manga-and-anime-series-but-its-sort-of-hilarious/ one reviewer]] has pointed out how the designs of the roaches that are the primary enemies of the series can be compared to racialized caricatures of black men.
* ''Anime/WelcomeToTheNHK'' has the logo on Satou's shirt looking nearly identical to the Russian curse word "хуй" (meaning roughly the same as English "dick", but considered far more obscene), which led to it becoming a [[MemeticMutation meme]] on Russian imageboards and anime forums.
* Zorc Necrophades from ''Manga/YuGiOh'' has a dragon head on a long neck protruding from his crotch. It's ''meant'' to be an evolution of Diabound's snake lower body, but add on legs and it becomes... er... Takahashi was in the midst of a CreatorBreakdown and had been hospitalized due to an ulcer at the time, which certainly explains a lot; he did try to rework Zorc's look in a collected edition, but the damage is largely done. Naturally, Creator/LittleKuriboh [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries has a field day with this]].
-->'''Marik:''' By the way, what is that thing on your crotch? You know, that dragon-head thing?\\
'''Zorc:''' Oh, that's my willy.\\
'''Marik:''' ''Geez'', man, put some ['''EFF''']ing pants on, will you?

* A crucifix in the St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church in Warr Acres, Oklahoma, depicts Jesus with a distended stomach and abs -- which some critics say looks a bit too much [[https://cdn2.newsok.biz/cache/w620-df0fb5fca40d59000dcfa0c8ae1e2639.jpg like an erect penis and scrotum.]] The clergy response was basically "whatever", and they refuse to discuss the controversy any further.
* Nearly all reconstructions of ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsintaosaurus Tsintaosaurus]]'' depict it with a vaguely phallic-shaped unicorn-crest on the head, although some modern theories speculate it had nothing of the sort, and what people believed to be a horn-like crest was in reality only a fragment of a totally different-shaped head-ornament. But if that wasn't enough, some old illustrations ([[http://www.dinotoyblog.com/2010/06/15/tsintaosaurus-collecta/ and an infamous toy]]) also gave it two, inflatable sacs at the base of said crest.
* Red [=McCombs=] Superior Hyundai in San Antonio, TX has [[http://www.roadsideamerica.com/attract/images/tx/TXANTmufind_defrancisci1.jpg a statue of a Native American in the classic "how" pose,]] with his left hand resting at his side. Approaching it from a certain direction driving along Loop 410, though, makes his left thumb look like [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZKtd6VWWbWg/SJJ5Z-2r2DI/AAAAAAAAFEI/pWsNU6lxzfw/s320/Red1.jpg something else entirely.]]
* Liverpool, UK, boasts a locally infamous statue of Queen Victoria which is holding an Orb and Sceptre. From the front and right side, the Sceptre looks like a Sceptre, but from the left side, the bottom of it looks like... [[https://www.flickr.com/photos/twocrabs/1476683994/ something else.]]
* A [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Penn_(Calder) particular statue]] of William Penn at the Philadelphia City Hall is notorious for this among news photographers, since if you photograph it at a certain angle the placement of his right hand is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Philadelphia_City_Hall-zoom.JPG pretty suggestive.]]
* Among other figures of the past, the Château de Versailles has a statue of [[http://www.photo.rmn.fr/C.aspx?VP3=SearchResult&IID=2C6NU0PO65N2 General Emmanuel Leclerc,]] Pauline Bonaparte's first husband. If the fact that he is the only naked figure in a gallery otherwise filled with fully-clothed statues is not weird enough, the sword resting on his right hip can easily look like another kind of sword from certain angles.
* A sculpture called ''Domestikator'' was [[https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/18/obscene-pornographic-louvre-sexually-explicit-sculpture-too-risque moved from the Louvre]] in Paris to the "edgier" Pompidou Centre after some people thought that the human figure was [[BestialityIsDepraved penetrating]] the animal, which the artist claimed was not the intended meaning.
* The statue atop [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnside_Fountain the Burnside Fountain]] in Worcester, Massachusetts has become infamous for its, um, ''suggestive'' posing. Officially called ''Boy with a Turtle'' but known colloquially as ''Turtle Boy'', the statue is of a naked boy riding on the back of a turtle -- however, it looks a lot like [[BestialityIsDepraved the boy is “riding” the turtle in a different manner.]]

[[folder:Card Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'':
** [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=3680 Uktabi Orangutan,]] a.k.a. "Sex Monkey." The flavor text even does some LampshadeHanging on the position of the two monkeys in the background and a later parody card shows the two monkeys again, but now one of them is pregnant.
** The art on [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=29980 Gorilla Titan]] prompted the creators to give it the flavor text "I want a banana ''this'' big."
** [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=3442 Ekundu Cyclops]] depicts a female figure riding what appears to be a giant phallus (with the twin moons in the background as testicles).
** The Ninth Edition version of [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=82951 Paladin en-Vec]] depicts a knight wearing what appears to be a KKK hood. Even worse, it's a white knight with protection from black.
* ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'':
** Guess where the biggest drill on [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Drillago Drillago]] is. Not to mention the two drills on its boobs.
** Some character designs are unfortunate enough to set off the censors. Such as [[http://yugipedia.com/wiki/Card_Artworks:Flying_Fortress_SKY_FIRE Flying Fortress SKY FIRE]], which has a very conspicuous missile stack between its legs that's missing from the international artwork. Or the pointy bit between [[https://yugipedia.com/wiki/Card_Artworks:Bicular Bicular's]] wheels.

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/{{Saga}}'': Hazel starts off as a baby with nubby little horns, who's usually got a white blanket covering her head (over the horns) and a blue blanket covering her body. [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/sagacomic/images/8/87/Hazel.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120818042305 It makes her look like Finn from]] ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', which [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=40756 the artist regrets]].
* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'': Issue 247 ends with the [[CreepyDoll Tails Doll]] transforming into a MechanicalAbomination set to take on Team Freedom. To put it bluntly, [[https://twitter.com/semifreqsonic/status/1409154799879196673 it looks like a penis and testicles with a vagina in the middle]], plus [[TentacledTerror tentacles]]. Luckily for the creative team, the issue in question happened to be the last one before the CosmicRetcon-inducing ''Worlds Collide'' crossover, allowing for the creature to be [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/archiesonic/images/e/ee/Newer_Tails_Doll.jpg redesigned]] for its returning appearance after the event.

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'':
** There is a comic of a sleeping dog dreaming of having caught a car and howling atop it, called "When dogs dream". Larson said later he drew in the car's transmission box where it was supposed to be, but when the editor cleared it to be published newspapers were inundated with mail from offended people thinking that the dog was supposed to be having sex with the car. The caption has been changed to "When car chasers dream" to rectify this.
** Gary Larson was flustered when a reader pointed out that an old woman he drew for the cover of ''In Search of the Far Side'' looked like a giant phallus. His editor responded, "So?"
* A common joke about Argentine comic character ComicStrip/{{Gaturro}} is how his giant cheeks make his face look a butt or testicles.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Eastern European Animation]]
* ''Animation/FairyTaleSitsOnTheDoorstep'': A lot of the monsters resemble KKK hoods, especially when one steals the pointed hat of the main character and puts it on. Given that the animation is from Soviet Latvia, it's pretty unlikely that they intended to promote American white supremacy.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* A fan once recounted bringing fanart of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Discord]] to a ''Star Trek'' convention for Creator/JohnDeLancie to sign. Unfortunately, he didn't realize that a part of Discord's wing looked like something else until he was near the front of the autograph line. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHbfr3TrNLg And then John De Lancie noticed right as he was about to sign it,]] was greatly amused by it, flagged down Creator/NicoleDeBoer and the con staff, telling them it [[RefugeInAudacity was the only part of Discord they modeled on him]] and signed right on top of it.

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* ''Countryside Bears'' by ''Creator/DingoPictures'' has a kangaroo with some sort of doll in its pouch that makes it look a ''male'' kangaroo with a yellow and white groin, as seem in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vsqr-UaR7Mo this video]] starting at around 4:32. With the company that made it, this sort of thing is to be expected.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Foodfight}}''
** In an early scene, when Dex Dogtective asks Daredevil Dan to be his best man, Dan starts... well, he's supposed to be crying tears of chocolate, since he's the mascot for a chocolate product, but just about everyone who's seen the movie will say it looks more like [[{{Squick}} he's violently spewing feces from his face]].
** Cheasel the Weasel's head and neck look ''extremely'' phallic. That they're constantly bobbing and wiggling around does not help. The texture of his brown fur has caused some to call him "[[WebVideo/JonTron poop rat]]" or "shitweasel". This is due to the cheap budget the film was made with. The original trailer shows a less unfortunate looking model, however the film had to be re-built from the ground up after the original version was stolen.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'' has a priest who appears to [[http://www1.pictures.zimbio.com/mp/qCEjhU6UA3Bl.gif get a little TOO excited and sport an erection]] during Eric and "Vanessa's" wedding. A separate shot makes clear that the bulge is actually from his knobby knees, but [[http://caps.pictures/198/9-tlm/full/little-mermaid-1080p-disneyscreencaps.com-8111.jpg Disney edited it out]] all the same because it ''really'' looks like an erection.
* ''WesternAnimation/RapsittieStreetKidsBelieveInSanta'' shows one overhead shot of Ricky where his dreadlocks make him look like a literal pile of crap.
* Turaga Nokama from ''WesternAnimation/{{Bionicle}}: Mask of Light'' has "decoration" on her chest that look like a pair of crudely drawn breasts. This could be [[{{demographically inappropriate humour}} an inappropriate joke]] put into a kids' film by the designers, except it's not hidden in the slightest. The other five Turaga's chest armor reflects the details of the masks they wear, but Nokama's mask is so plain that her chest detail had to be made up from scratch. Even if it ''was'' meant to look like cleavage, the fact that they put it on an elderly robot-lady with a serious role inadvertently [[{{Narm}} makes her come off as silly]].
* ''WesternAnimation/UnstableFables'' has several animals, such as the wolves and the bears, who have noses that extend past the rest of their faces, which make them look quite phallic.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* The alien in ''Film/AlienTrespass'' is... well, phallic. The director, in an interview with ''Fangoria'', stated that he pointed this out to the art designer, who answered "I was afraid you'd say that" and put tentacles at the top to try to counteract this. Its spaceship looks like the female counterpart, as well -- and again, the art designer's response when called on it was "I was afraid you'd say that!"
* ''Film/Dune2021'' and ''Film/DunePartTwo'' depict the [[SandWorm Shai-Hulud]] as lacking the [[FlowerMouth petal-like pedipalps]] they are usually depicted with, having [[LampreyMouth round mouths ringed with baleen-like teeth]] instead. Director Denis Villeneuve claimed the change was intended to make the Shai-Huluds' mouths look like an 'eye of God'. Many fans were quick to point out that it also made them look like anuses ''with teeth''.
* The Dream Demons from ''Film/FreddysDeadTheFinalNightmare'' resemble sperm.
* ''Film/TheHobbitAnUnexpectedJourney'': The Great Goblin's throat resembles a scrotum.
* ''Film/TheLastAirbender'': Many reviewers commented "The princess has penis hair!" due to [[http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/aerieel/26055487/4497/4497_original.jpg a particular shot from behind Yue]] that makes her hair look, well, phallic.
* ''Film/TheNutcrackerIn3D'': More than a few viewers have noted the resemblance of Tinker the Clown to [[MonsterClown John Wayne Gacy]] in his makeup.
* While the costume design in ''Film/TheOogielovesInTheBigBalloonAdventure'' is [[SpecialEffectsFailure shoddy]] as-is, Toofie's is especially bad, as [[http://i.imgur.com/emaGV.jpg his eyes]] make him appear as a meth addict.
* ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'': The Zaranites (an alien species who fortunately only appear as background extras) have a ''serious'' case of [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/a/ac/Zaranites.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160818214611&path-prefix=en penis-head syndrome.]]
* Bill Corbett on the Romulan ship in the ''Film/StarTrek2009'' reboot: "Look, a giant space sphincter!"
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* The notorious Federation Security Robot in ''Series/BlakesSeven''. Not only was it a very cheap-looking TinCanRobot, but its main weapon was mounted in a... [[PhallicWeapon very unfortunate place]].
* The ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' episode "Doublemeat Palace" had a demon with an incredibly phallic-looking tentacle that squirted venom at Buffy. And then Buffy's lesbian best friend chopped the tentacle off with an axe... According to the creators, the symbolism was completely accidental, although a dialogue joke was made about it in a later episode.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'' has had more than a few unfortunately designed monsters:
** In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E5TheWebPlanet "The Web Planet"]], there's a scene where a biological tentacle on a wall (called a "bio-gun" in the novelisation) squirts a sticky white web at the Doctor and Vicki before slowly going flaccid and shrinking.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E4TheKrotons "The Krotons"]] features a {{Cliffhanger}} where a long, prehensile, biomechanical... thing with a slightly bifurcated head with a hole in the end shoots out of a hole in a wall and starts thrusting the Doctor to the floor. The Doctor gets around it in the next episode by having the end spray white fluid on a MauveShirt instead of on him.
** One of the most famous is probably the ambassador from [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alphacentauri3_3714.jpg Alpha Centauri]] in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E2TheCurseOfPeladon "The Curse of Peladon"]] and its [[SequelEpisode Sequel Story]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS11E4TheMonsterOfPeladon "The Monster of Peladon"]]. The cloak they're wearing is a last minute attempt to cover it up. The complaint simply changed from "It looks like a giant dick," to "It looks like a giant dick with a cloak on." There was even some speculation that they could be a ''companion'' for a while, though the design soon put paid to that.
** In "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS10E3FrontierInSpace Frontier in Space]]" the Ogrons are said to worship a hideous beast that fills them with terror. The designers created said beast, which unfortunately turned out looking unmistakably like a giant orange scrotum. The appalled director had to then rejigger the story so that the creature was shown only once and in very, very long shot.
** Davros' design in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks "Genesis of the Daleks"]] is great, so long as you aren't seeing him from the back, [[https://georgesjournal.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/doctor_who_genesis_of_the_daleks_davros_and_daleks.jpg where the back of his chair is shaped like a hand flipping you off]].
** The OrganicTechnology ship controls in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E1TerrorOfTheZygons "Terror of the Zygons"]] are very slimy, veiny and turgid. Creator/TomBaker is clearly having a great time handling them as suggestively as he can in the scene which requires him to use them. This may be a theme with his take on the Doctor. (Later lampshaded in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E7TheZygonInvasion "The Zygon Invasion"]] in the Twelfth Doctor era, where the Doctor insists Zygon controls only work if you "titillate" them.)
** The infamous [[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E3TheCreatureFromThePit Creature from the Pit]], with its many... protuberances. There was even a scene where, while trying to communicate with it, the Doctor picks up a longish, fleshy... thing from the Creature's midsection, looks it up and down, massages it slightly and then puts the end of it in his mouth, sucking and blowing on it. It is probably AccidentalInnuendo. The costume designer and Tom Baker laughed about it in an interview with ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' — apparently it had originally been even ''worse'' and the costume department had made heavy last-minute alterations to it to improve it, but were ultimately powerless to how badly the design had been botched up.
** The Vervoids in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS23E3TerrorOfTheVervoids "Terror of the Vervoids"]], which look like either a) ''uncircumsized'' dicks or b) vaginas with prominent clitorises. A newsagent once refused to stock an issue of ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' with an image of one on the cover on the grounds that it contained a "graphic sexual image".
* An in-universe example occurs in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'', where a RunningGag in season 2 is that Ted's boss is completely unaware that the skyscraper design he wants to present to their clients happens to be incredibly phallic, complete with a semicircular roof and two spherical entrance halls at the base, which are surrounded by wild foliage.
* ''Franchise/KamenRider'':
** ''Series/KamenRiderGaim'': The title character's SuperMode is primarily white with a pointed helmet. It's modeled after samurai warlord armor, but Westerners are more likely to associate its shape and color with the KKK.
** Two in ''Series/KamenRiderRevice'':
*** Giff is presented as the GreaterScopeVillain and SealedEvilInACan that the rest of the villains are trying to revive. Until they do, he's represented as a statue that's big, pink, and looks like a giant vagina.
*** The main heroes, Kamen Riders Revi and Vice, can work in conjunction TwoMenOneDress style to act as animals; which can put them in pretty awkward positions. The worst is the ''T. rex'' combination, where Vice holds Revi by his legs and ends up planting his face in Revi's butt. Vice even [[FourthWallObserver complains to the audience]] about this the first time they do it.
* An episode of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' featured a scene where a man comes into an apartment to sign a man's severed leg. The reveal of the leg was from the knee down, making it look like a giant bell-end. ExecutiveMeddling was mentioned in one of their documentaries.
* ''Franchise/SuperSentai'':
** While Clotho's adult human and knight designs in ''Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger'' aren't too bad, but her child form, which includes a pointed hood, has had many people, including Creator/LewisLovhaug when he reviewed Burai's debut and death arcs for ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'', to call her "the little Klansman".
** In ''Series/ResshaSentaiToQger'', [=ToQ-Oh=] is built in a way that the Red Ressha can unfold and extend a large red cylinder from the mecha's crotch. Which would be bad enough if it were just something people could do with their toys at home, but it was actually used once in the show.
* The Blessing from ''Series/TorchwoodMiracleDay'' is revealed to be a fissure underground which some have remarked [[http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-gathering,61162/ looks like a vagina.]]
* ''Franchise/UltraSeries'': The franchise has its share of monsters and aliens, and inevitably some of them ends up with rather... awkward designs.
** For starters, [[https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Mukadender Mukadendar]] (''Series/UltramanTaro'') and [[https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Kendoros Kendoros]] (''Series/UltramanLeo'') are supposed to be creative-looking with their bodies flipped around, but looks more like their heads are attached to their crotches.
** There's also [[https://ultra.fandom.com/wiki/Alien_Braco Alien Buraco]] from ''Series/{{Ultraseven}}'', who is supposed to blob alien with arms and legs... but looks more like anthropomorphic poop.
** And then there's Alien Varduck from ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'', whose head looks like a pair of scrotums.
* ''Series/YoGabbaGabba'': Muno is a one-eyed monster who... looks like a giant red dildo. Creator/CharlieBrooker said he looks like "a Dalek's cock".

[[folder:Mythology & Religion]]
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capirote Capirotes]] (the page's picture), hoods which are worn by UsefulNotes/{{C|hristianity}}atholic penitents during Holy Week (Easter) processions in several cities of UsefulNotes/{{Spain}}, are pointy, occasionally white, and completely cover the face apart from eye holes. They have nothing to do with the UsefulNotes/KuKluxKlan (which hates Catholics, by the way) and in fact predate it by hundreds of years. This has led to a rather unfortunate recurring example of this trope in anime and manga; TheKlan obviously isn't a thing in UsefulNotes/{{Japan}}, so the capirote has not been [[GuiltByAssociation stained by association with them]] like in the US, but it ''has'' become commonly used as [[HighlyConspicuousUniform cliche bad guy attire]] thanks to the RuleOfCool, leading to all sorts of potential awkwardness during localization. For instance, Neo-Atlantis from ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'', who all dress up in a manner reminiscent of Klan-members despite having absolutely nothing in common with the RealLife organization.

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'' has had its share of unfortunate-looking mechs over the years. One of the original machines to have issues is the [[https://www.sarna.net/wiki/File:3025_Stalker1.jpg Stalker]], whose design has been compared to a sex-toy with legs pretty much since it was introduced. Another one is the [[https://www.sarna.net/wiki/File:ArcticFox.jpg Arctic Fox]], which has an unfortunate resemblence to a heavily-armed toilet. The Dragonfire is a particularly egregious example, having a large cannon protruding from, for lack of a better word, its ''crotch.''
* ''TabletopGame/HeroesUnlimited: The Justice Machine'' features a [[https://www.somethingawful.com/dungeons-and-dragons/justice-heroes-unlimited/2/ couple]] of [[https://www.somethingawful.com/dungeons-and-dragons/justice-heroes-unlimited/9/ characters]] drawn in such a way as to look like they have unclothed female crotches on otherwise masculine bodies.
* In early ''TabletopGame/{{Rifts}}'' supplements, artist Kevin Long illustrates a vast number of HumongousMecha with guns in their lower torsos as alleged anti-infantry position, which end up looking, well, phallic.
* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'':
** The design of the Dreadknight, which has its pilot mounted on the chest wearing a harness. Fans have derided the design as looking more like a baby carrier...or a [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory certain dodgeball robot.]]
** The Lord of Skulls has a cannon which is meant to be mounted on its stomach, but the somewhat awkward proportions and lack of legs results in the cannon looking more like it's mounted on the crotch.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theatre]]
* Creator/CirqueDuSoleil's ''Theatre/{{Luzia}}'' has a few characters who are cacti. One of them has a long, straight arm jutting out from his crotch.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Toys]]
* ''Toys/BattleBeasts'': A really surprising number of the 1980s figures had their cybernetic armor sporting crotch fins, guns, sliding panels, or just highly suspicious protrusions.
* ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}'':
** The rhino-like Vako from the ''Master Builder'' set used a bent "pipe" piece for a tail that connected at the bend in its middle, so half of it stuck backwards like a tail, and the other half hung between the legs due to there being no friction to hold the piece in place. Worse, both ends were outfitted with an extension, not just the tail part that was ''meant'' to be seen.
** [[https://biosector01.com/wiki/File:Set_Stronius.png Stronius]] from the Glatorian Legends series has an extra long protrusion on the bottom of his torso armor with a widened tip, which looks okay from the side but hugely questionable from the front as it hangs way below his belt line. For what it's worth, his packaging art tried to hide it.
* ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' has a Utahraptor in one of the early toylines that has leg kick action. Unfortunately, the button to activate the legs is placed beneath its tail, right behind its pubic bone, and it's been the, er, butt, of a few jokes.
* ''Toys/MonsterHigh'': [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81DyEpEVqTL._SL1500_.jpg Catty Noir]] was meant to resemble a black cat, but her bright pink lips against black skin has been criticized for looking more like a {{blackface}} caricature.
* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'':
** The [[GodCreatedCanonForeigner toyline-exclusive]] ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' character Emerald Ray has a cutie mark resembling the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepwater_Horizon_oil_spill BP]] [[http://theiranproject.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/BP-logo.jpg Logo.]]
** [[https://derpibooru.org/115333 Walking Talking Pinkie Pie.]] The plug covering the screw that holds the toy's battery lid closed is located ''[[https://derpibooru.org/115336 right beneath the tail]]''. So you need to yank the plug out from beneath the tail and then screw it to turn the toy on.
* There's a ''{{ComicBook/Punisher}}'' toy that was infamously recalled because the first part of its transformation into a pistol results in the gun barrel coming out of its crotch.
* Torch/Fire from ''{{Toys/Slizer}}'' has his head between his legs, while Granite/Rock's action feature requires you to repeatedly push a giant rod into a hole on his butt.
* ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': The first action figures were set to give the Turtles tails, which [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage their Mirage counterparts]] did have. While tails did work on the characters in the two-dimensional drawings, in the 3-D mock-ups, they ended up looking rather... phallic. So the tails were removed, and the Turtles have never depicted as having tails since.
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** It's quite common for a Transformer to have some sort of unintentionally amusing crotch design. A ''particularly'' unfortunate example is [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Scattershot_toy.JPG Scattershot.]] That silver-bordered black shape? That's a heat-sensitive sticker that you're supposed to activate by ''rubbing.'' And if that weren't bad enough, he can easily be mistransformed so that the nose and cockpit of his spaceship mode is protruding forward from there instead.
** The [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:G1Megatron_toy.jpg original toy of Megatron]] is infamous for having a trigger on his crotch.
** A good number of Mini-Cons have unfortunately-placed [[CombiningMecha Powerlinx connectors]].
** The ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' Hot Shot is a particularly infamous case of gimmick-induced silliness, as his Mini-Con gimmick involves plugging his Mini-Con into, well... his butt. This also results in a massive cannon swinging out of his body (his shoulders, admittedly, but that's still not great), which fires a red missile.
** ''Transformers'' toy designers don't seem to be all too familiar with dinosaur anatomy, as at least two such figures have gimmicks located in unpractical places. The ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars'' Dinobot mold (and its repaints and remolds) has a rod sticking out of its cloaca that you have to push in to activate a feature, while ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'' Beast Megatron has a Cyber Key slot in the same place. (Apparently it's because tails frequently end up as arms or arm-wielded weapons in robot mode. Apparently, Hasbro didn't think fans would realize this means in beast mode you're shoving things '''directly''' where the sun don't shine. Which means, [[RuleOfThree apparently]], Hasbro doesn't know kids very well.)
** The figure of ''WesternAnimation/BeastMachines'' Obsidian has a tiny machine gun dangling under his cockpit. Since the cockpit is his chest in robot mode, this means that the gun ends up hanging down from between his legs... Thankfully, the toy's more cartoon-accurate configuration, in which his legs are "fused" together, makes this far less obvious.
** A good number of planes, such as G2 Smokescreen, have a design where the front part of the plane becomes the upper body, leading to a plane canopy in their chest and the nosecone on their crotch, but it's not especially noticeable. ''Beast Machines'' Ultra Jetstorm, meanwhile, has a long, flexible cockpit with a bulbous head, designed to "look around" in vehicle mode. In robot mode, it's tucked between his legs, but still has working joints and can hang low or point forward with relative ease. Yep, it's the first Transformer to have an articulated wang.
** WebVideo/TJOmega released a video called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf7CGdDVzCM Top 5 Inappropriate Transformers]]" on this subject, featuring a variety of questionable designs, misbehaving gimmicks and oddly placed kibble.
** ''Beast Machines'' Silverbolt, a figure widely regarded as one of the least successful ''Transformers'' figures ever, turns into (what is said to be) a condor, but the robot head isn't hidden in the least, [[http://www.seibertron.com/transformers-toys/view/beast-machines/silverbolt/629/1/17/ and remains visible between the legs]]. The head also has a tall, thin, tubular shape, and can easily swivel forward, making it look like the condor has a grinning erection. Even if you transform it according to the instructions, it's clearly a head coming out of a condor's butt. This could easily have been avoided, as the toy has a big torso-piece which the small head could have retracted into. In robot mode, the condor's head ends up on his belly, staring at his own crotch -- not much better.
** ''Beast Wars'' Blackarachnia was made into [[ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy a more feminine figure compared to her toy]] being a PaletteSwap of Tarantulas. She later got a Transmetal II figure that was designed to translate more easily into the show, but the logistics of making a feminine figure had designers concerned about her looking naked, but ended up making her look like she is wearing a bikini. Furthermore, due to last-minute changes her BreastPlate was a last minute add on and able to be easily removed... with the attachment plugs on her chest in unfortunate places.
*** ''Beast Machines'' Blackarachnia has enormous, unmovable middle fingers, which make her looks like she's constantly flipping others off. Ironically, this probably would have fit perfectly for her ''Beast Wars'' incarnation.
** It has been noted by some that ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' Megatron's crotch looks like the face of the twins Skyquake and Dreadwing, two of his most loyal servants.
** ''Combiner Wars'' Silverbolt's two heads wind up in dubious places. [[CombiningMecha Superion's]] head has his ears poking out of Silverbolt's chest, forming little rubber nipples: only mildly unfortunate. Where Silverbolt's head winds up in Superion mode: [[AssShove much more unfortunate]].
** ''Anime/TransformersCybertron'''s Backstop was originally designed to feature a genuine left hand, but on the toy's final release, the appendage is formed out of his rhinoceros mode's rear end, and as many fans have noted, it's sorta shaped like a poop scoop. Since the rhino's tail forms his middle finger, he's also one of the few Transformers who can flip the bird.
** The ''Classics''/''Henkei'' Sideswipe and Sunstreaker figures have a pair of oddly placed circular details right on the bottom of their crotch that look fine from most angles other than the front.
** Fortress Maximus, who turns into a base, has an elevator gimmick controlled by a tiny red circular crank. Unsurprisingly for this page, when in his robot mode, [[https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/a/a6/G1FortressMaximus_toy.jpg the crank ends up on his crotch.]] Bonus points: since the peg has a shallow handle, it makes him look like he has a TeenyWeenie. (You can even keep turning it while he's in robot mode!)
** The 2021 ''Kingdom'' Rattrap toy's design is a little too realistic. To make room for the robot arms, the rat form's rear end was expanded, resembling the enlarged testicular area that actual rats have. This in itself wouldn't be too strange, but the figure's round robot fists are fully visible, looking either as giant wrinkly buttocks or a pair of balls. Adding to the awkward design, the fists are colored a vaguely flesh-toned light brown, and in one episode of [[WesternAnimation/BeastWars the original cartoon]] an angry Rattrap does tell one of his comrades to kiss his "pink, hairless..."
** A lot of bootleg transforming dinosaur toys have their dino-heads ending up in questionable places in robot mode, hence ''Transformers'' fans dubbing them "Dinocock Prime".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* [[BigBad Von Bolt]] from ''[[VideoGame/AdvanceWars Advance Wars: Dual Strike]]'', for the most part, has a [[https://advancewars.fandom.com/wiki/Von_Bolt pretty good design]] for a DarkLordOnLifeSupport, but what ruins it are the hoses in his mouth that look like he's sticking out a big doofy tongue: along with his beady eyes, it makes him basically look like a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} pickled Lickitung.]].
* The dragons in ''VideoGame/{{Adventure}}'' look less like dragons and more like [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner freakin' ducks]].
* The Platform/AtariJaguar's CD add-on looks like a black toilet lid. [[https://imgur.com/7nMJiKQ Take a squint]]. The ''WebVideo/AngryVideoGameNerd'', wastes no time noticing and sums it up:
--> That's some cool looking design. It looks just like a toilet. Yeah, it's a fucking toilet. What a perfect analogy!
* ''VideoGame/BahamutLagoon'':
** Yoyo's battle sprite makes it seem like she has a giant chin, due to her clothes' neckline making her neck look like it's part of her face. (Thankfully, gets a better sprite halfway through the game.)
** Diana wears a giant ribbon on her waist, but it looks more like a tail.
** Mist's map sprite is only one pixel long if she walks left or right, making it look like a plant stem.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Balatro}}'', the Arrowhead is supposed to look ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, but its angular shape and flared bottom makes it look like a butt plug instead.
* Most golems in ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' wear loincloths that look just a little too much like giant flapping dongs.
* Janet from ''VideoGame/BrawlStars'' wears a pair of blue shorts as part of her stuntswoman outfit. However, a handful of fans pointed out that it looked like a giant blue diaper instead.
* The ''VideoGame/{{BEMANI}}'' game ''Otoiroha'' has a cabinet that is infamous for [[https://twitter.com/MinttearsTy/status/700530240666279937 resembling a toilet.]]
* ''Videogame/ClockworkKnight'': As [[{{WebVideo/Vinesauce}} Vinny from Vinesauce]] states, it's difficult to not see Pepper as a skinny [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Wario]].
* The player character in the NES game ''VideoGame/CodeNameViper'' has the same three-color palette limitations as most sprites did in the era. Brown was used for his hair and outline and green for his jacket and boots, while a pinkish flesh tone was used for his skin... and ''[[NudeColoredClothes his pants]]'', which has the very unfortunate effect of making him look like he's undertaking his mission with no pants at all.
* The ''VideoGame/CookingMama'' spinoff ''Babysitting Mama'' comes with a doll that you have to stick the Wiimote into in order to play the game, which also requires use of the nunchuck attachment. Unfortunately, the hole where you stick the Wiimote is located right below the back of the doll's head, so with the nunchuck cable sticking out, it looks like your baby's [[DrivenToSuicide hanging itself]] -- ''especially'' if the wrist strap ends up around the baby's neck, as [[https://youtu.be/ToD4O8Mv83o one YouTuber]] discovered.
* ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'':
** Many of ''VideoGame/CrashBandicootTheWrathOfCortex''[='=]s character models look infamously ugly compared to the [=PS1=] titles, but Cortex really takes the cake because his character model's slanted, unmoving eyes combined with his skin tone and goatee make him a dead ringer for an old-fashioned YellowPeril villain. Interestingly, Cortex's yellowish skin tone was retained in later installments despite his character model improving.
** In ''VideoGame/CrashBash'', Rilla Roo's facial expression was permanently locked into an ":o" expression, which, due to the limitations of the [=PS1=], made his mouth look like a butthole, adding to the fandom's dislike for the character at the time. Ironically, Rilla Roo's ridiculous design ended up being RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap over time as he gained an ironic following, to the point that complaints over his divisive redesign in ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRacingNitroFueled'' led to the addition of an updated version of his original ''Crash Bash'' design as a separate playable character named "Fixed Rilla Roo", complete with the perpetual ":o" expression that made his original design so laughable.
* ''VideoGame/DayDreaminDavey'' on the Platform/NintendoEntertainmentSystem has the outlaws fought in the Wild West levels who have rather unfortunately-drawn noses. The way their noses are drawn could easily be mistaken for penises.
* ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}}'''s wyrms have tails that resemble giant penises, not helped by the fact that the tail tends to dangle between their legs.
** Given a scene at the opening of VideoGame/{{Drakengard3}}, however, one begins to suspect [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar it's less unfortunate and was more slipped past]] given a similar protrusion on a dragon explicity being the point where a dragon pees himself.
* Pokey/Porky Minch's sprite in ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound|1994}}'' made him look like a cyclops due to his real eyes being obscured by his hair.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** The popular recurring Cactuar enemy stands in a particular pose supposedly inspired after a Japanese EXIT sign, but some Western players think it looks more like a swastika.
** Zeromus's second form from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'' appears to have a massive, ribbed equine penis continually jizzing blood out of the end. This particular appendage was removed in the DS version.
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'':
*** Due to sprite limitations, the FingerWag emote can be interpreted as a character FlippingTheBird.
*** Emperor Gestahl, an old man with long white hair and a white mustache-and-beard combo, looks like a dog-headed bipedal creature. This is referenced in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' with a Shi Tzu puppy familiar named Gestahl.
*** Kefka Palazzo's final form is clothed in nothing but a waistwrap. Unfortunately, one of the folds ended up in the wrong place, which makes Kefka seem like he's a little too happy to see you. [[MemeticMutation This was promptly acknowledged by many, many people]]. This may have been subtly referenced in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'', after using his Ex-Burst, Kefka goes "That was titillating", implying he is actually getting off on the destruction.
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'' Ramza's sprite changes from chapter to chapter. His last costume contains pants that, due to the sprite artwork, look like they are totally skintight and riding quite far up his butt crack. The fact that the said outfit has noticeably less armor in the back doesn't help matters either. Fans of the series have affectionately dubbed the disturbing garments the [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140128145514/finalfantasy/images/7/73/Chapter_4.jpg Buttpants]].
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'':
*** Garnet's trance form in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'' has some design elements that bear an unfortunate resemblance to a bare bottom. Made all the worse by how lovingly well-rendered her (tightly) clothed bottom is even out of trance.
*** Likewise, it wasn't such a good idea to give Eiko pants that are [[NudeColoredClothes almost the same color as her skin]], since it makes her look like she's nude from the waist down. Add to that the fact that she's ''six years old'' and looks very, ''very'' young and most fans react with {{Squick}}. Most other art and her in game sprites make her pants a much darker red to avoid this.
*** The [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Stroper_%28Final_Fantasy_IX%29 Stroper]] enemy looks very phallic.
*** Zidane Tribal, at least in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''. The point at which his tail sticks out of his pants should really have been placed just slightly higher up in order to look like it was actually coming from the base of his spine; as it is, it looks far too much like he's pooping it out.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'':
*** The diving suit briefly worn by Rikku has beige-colored segments in front of her crotch and on her ass, making it look like she's wearing a lot less than she actually is.
*** The ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' HD Remaster retextured the main characters in a more cartoony style that some players found fell straight into the UnintentionalUncannyValley. A particularly common comment is that the characters, with plasticy skin and exaggerated lips, now resembled deluxe sex dolls.
** With ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII''[='=]s character design being extremely realistic, Vaan's drawn-on chest... shadow... things seem very much out of place. Depending on who you ask, they either look like really odd sunburns, or signs of emaciation. Luckily, the ''Zodiac Age'' remaster fixes this.
** ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy2015'' textures Exdeath's loincloth sash to have a weirdly regular pattern that makes it look like [[https://twitter.com/jesus_christ_93/status/894273438667350016 a pack of sushi rolls]].
** The animation used for Cactuars in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' gives them what appear to be [[http://kotaku.com/a-closer-look-at-cactuar-ass-1796910121 really tight, cute butts]].
* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'' has the infamous "Dong Armor"--most visibly on [[https://i.imgur.com/CoiDppA.png the cover of the game]], Alm's suit of armor has a massive segmented crotchpiece that dangles between his legs. It was removed completely for his redesign in the remake, unsurprisingly, though it returned for one of his alternate designs in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes'', to much rejoicing.
* ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'': As stated in the reference book ''The Art of Halo'', Creator/{{Bungie}}'s co-founder wanted the Elites to have tails until an employee pointed out to him that, alongside the non-sexual factor of the sliding scale of ferality vs. intelligence conveyed by character design (of which the Elites are on the latter end), the tail would look phallic when an Elite is sitting.
* ''Film/HomeAlone2LostInNewYork'': In the Game Boy version, the ending screen has Kevin [=McCallister=] raising his fist in victory over the Sticky Bandits. Due to the hand being undetailed, it could easily be mistaken for either him missing his hand or {{flipping the bird}}.
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
** ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'': [[https://www.khwiki.com/File:Dusk_(Nobody)_(Art).png This Dusk]] looks a little happy to see our keyblade hero.
** In the ending of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', an animation bone issue makes it look like Axel has [[https://twitter.com/bustersvvord/status/1113145300426866688 an incredibly huge, freakish, dislocated giant thumb]].
* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'':
** ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'': The game's BigBad, Lord Hyness, is an AxCrazy priest whose face is hidden behind a long, white, hooded robe. While his design is meant to resemble a stylized monk's habit, American players have noted a strong resemblance to the [[TheKlan Klansmen]]. [[spoiler:It gets more awkward when he is redeemed at the end of the postgame campaign, ''Heroes in Another Dimension'', and still keeps the hood on.]]
** ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLandDeluxe'': One of the new bosses introduced in this remake is Hydriath, an elemental UndergroundMonkey of Goriath who has a tendril of water spouting out of his head in place of Goriath's hair. The unfortunate part of this design happens when Hydriath TurnsRed and "[[ShoutOut goes Super Saiyan]]", which turns that water a suspiciously urinary shade of yellow.
* ''VideoGame/KuroNoKenSwordOfDarkness'' has some serious design flaws thanks to its static animation and graphic limitations. For instance, your hero has a special move where he sheathes and unsheathes his sword rapidly, causing repetitive damage to his opponents, but with his hand movements and his sword being sheathed at around groin level, [[https://youtu.be/0DFRe4GxygQ?t=15409 it looks more like he's masturbating]]. (In the middle of a fantasy battle, no less!)
* The [[PunnyName Orc Chasm]] in ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' is shaped quite a bit like a vagina, though given the name this was probably intentional. The valley beyond it was originally represented by two mountains a short distance apart from each other with a row of trees at the bottom, looking uncannily similar to two knees and pubic hair. This was allegedly accidental on the artist's part, and it was eventually edited to use the same graphic as its predecessor. The level 9 quest was revamped again in August 2012, and the Valley of Rof'lm'fao was split off into a separate zone that used the original graphic.
* In ''VideoGame/KingsQuestIII'', because of the limitations of the graphics, the protagonist's sprite has, for eyes, a solid line of red pixels, making him look like ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** [[https://zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/File:TLoZ_Ganon_Sprite_2.png Ganon's sprite design]] in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'' has confused a lot of people with some of his poses. Is he pretending to be a {{catgirl}} when Link walks in?
** This same game attempted to give Link irises and pupils. Actually, since each eye is two pixels high, he just looks like he has four eyes, which is talked about [[https://www.cracked.com/blog/video-game-zoology-how-5-8-bit-characters-would-really-look/ here.]]
** ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'':
*** [[https://zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/File:TAoL_Wizzrobe_Artwork.png The Wizzrobe's design]] is quite reminiscent of KKK robes, right down to the colour.
*** Link's death sprite is rather... suggestive, due to the fact that his "recoil from damage" sprite has him holding his very short sword at waist-height and perpendicular to his body, and the death sprite turns it into a silhouette.
** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'''s [[https://www.pidgi.net/wiki/File:Ooccoo_-_The_Legend_of_Zelda_Twilight_Princess.png Ooccoo]] is infamous for looking like it has four pairs of exposed saggy breasts because of some extremely badly placed markings combined with suggestive feather shapes.
** [[http://www.zeldadungeon.net/wiki/images/5/5e/Bucha.jpg Bucha]] the Kikwi elder from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' is shaped like a scrotum. Really, the [[https://zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/Kikwi Kikwis]] as a whole look like scrotums, but Bucha most of all.
** As for the bosses in ''Skyward Sword'', [[https://zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/File:SS_The_Imprisoned_Render.png The Imprisoned]] looks like a giant black pinecone with stubby legs and an anus on top, and [[https://zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/File:SS_Tentalus_Render.png Tentalus]] looks like the chubby child of [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Mike Wazowski and Celia]].
** The Moblins in ''Skyward Sword'' blatantly look like their anuses are exposed because of the way their scant, thin loincloth is designed, which is made worse by how the player is encouraged to stab them in the ass a lot when fighting them because they block their front with wooden shields, and there is a big height difference.
* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
** The Yellow Devil MK-II in ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' is supposed to have manly pectorals, but to some it looks like it has a pair of boobs.
** Zero of the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' series is notorious for having a pair of {{Power Crystal}}s in an unfortunate placement. It's made even better in ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'' when he yells what sounds like "titties!" when he uses the Shippuuga/Hurricane Fang move.
** Oil Man in ''VideoGame/MegaManPoweredUp'' is an UncleTomfoolery who resembled a blackface caricature in the Japanese release. International releases changed his black parts to blue and made his lips yellow, but it still didn't help that the character still acts like a stereotype. The [[ComicBook/MegaManArchieComics Archie comic]]'s depiction of Oil Man is blue with a red scarf covering his mouth at all times.
** In ''VideoGame/MegaMan11'', Impact Man has the ability to transform into a three-pronged piece of mining equipment with a disturbing resemblance to a fidget spinner.
** Rospark from ''VideoGame/MegaManZX Advent'' has a giant metal horn protruding from a very unfortunate place [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4e/95/9d/4e959d4c29bb29c9bce4b7b99272ee2a.jpg when he's in his unfolded form]]. The fact that [[AgentPeacock he's an extremely flamboyant villain]] with lots of creepy dialogue for Grey doesn't help matters, either.
** The miniboss in Tunnel Rhino's stage, Hell Crusher, has a giant drill placed in a rather unfortunate area.
* [[https://i.imgur.com/ck5rbfe.png This]] ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots'' promotional statue. Snake's outfit is not unfortunate unless you're allergic to [[MrFanservice shameless female-aimed fanservice]], but the placement of that lamp seems to be trying a bit too hard.
* One of the bosses from ''VideoGame/{{Nier}}'', a giant crocodile-like [[TheHeartless Shade]] named Hook looks like it has multiple pairs of either breasts or testicles hanging from its neck.
* ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'' has the [[https://nier.fandom.com/wiki/1st_Machine_War?file=NA_Emil_SS2.png incredibly phallic-looking aliens]], as well as the giant orb bosses, most of whom (with the sole exception of Hegel) have a hole on their backside that occasionally lets out a [[CreepyCentipedes linked-sphere type machine]], bringing to mind anal parasites such as tapeworms.
* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'': [[MemeticMutation A lot of people had fun pointing out]] that [[http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/capcomdatabase/images/3/3b/RE6_Logo.png/revision/latest?cb=20130330214412 the logo]] looks like a man bending forward to suck off a bipedal giraffe.
* In ''VideoGame/ShadowOfTheColossus'', Pelagia, the twelfth Colossus, is defeated by stabbing a weak spot on its belly, but a lot of players saw it as Wander defeating Pelagia by [[GroinAttack stabbing its crotch]] because of the rather low placing of the weak spot.
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** The Carnival Night Zone miniboss, along with the bosses of Marble Garden and Flying Battery Zones in ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'' suffer from rather phallic designs. It doesn't help the flames it shoots are also suggestive in shape.
** Silver the Hedgehog, whose debut in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' meant the addition of a third new main hedgehog to the [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog series]]. Except one of the very first things just about everyone noted about his design is that his head quills look like a marijuana leaf[[note]]It's meant to based on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acer_palmatum Japanese maple]] leaf, which happens to look like the cannabis leaf[[/note]]. This (combined with the fact he has a friend named Blaze) led to a lot of [[TheStoner stoner]] jokes. One of the most notable was WebVideo/BrainScratchCommentaries coining the FanNickname "Pothead the Porcupine".
* ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'': The Inkopolis Square DLC introduced Fred Crumbs, the proprietor of the local shoe store. He's ''meant'' to resemble a Japanese dish called aji furai, which consists of a butterflied and deep fried fish fillet. Unfortunately, unfamiliarity with said dish combined with his... [[https://twitter.com/SplatoonNA/status/1625286330476363784 unusual shape]] means that to many people, he resembles a deep-fried scrotum.
* ''VideoGame/StarCraft'': [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/starcraft/images/7/7c/Goliath_SC1_Art1.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20091230030757 Artwork]] for the Goliath mech often features an anti-infantry gun that looks… erm.
* There's absolutely nothing weird about Claude C Kenny's character design in ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheSecondStory'' when viewing his artwork, and it's pretty easy to tell he's wearing a beige jacket in the original game's sprites. However, the 2023 remake introduced a lighting system that alters the shading on sprites depending on the location. …And in areas with bright light [[NudeColoredClothes the coloration of his jacket on his sprite is so close to his skin color]] that if you're playing on a small screen, his sprite sort of looks like he's wearing a virgin killer sweater with white tights and white bandages on his arms, especially from the back.
* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'':
** Mario in the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' has eyes shaped like letter "L"s. It's possible they were supposed to look like they were reflecting light, but that doesn't excuse the fact that his head is permanently twisted at a 90 degree angle to the rest of his body.
*** There's also Toad in the same game whose sprite could be mistaken for him FlippingTheBird at the player.
** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine:'' There is a DummiedOut enemy that is essentially a three eyed giant onion with a suspicious looking hole that it poops out enemies from. Why [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDVZSkalR-U Tramplin' Stu]] even made it past the concept stage and got semi-programmed is a mystery.
** Magikoopas usually wear blue robes, but PaletteSwap versions of them appear as enemies in ''VideoGame/PaperMario64''. One of which wears a white robe, and is described as "one of the magicians in the Koopa Clan" in its tattle log.
** None of these have anything on [[FinalBoss Smithy's]] "Magic Head" form from the remake of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'', which sports a pronounced Wario-like nose. It was hard to notice on the pixelated SNES version, but between the nose's placement and the clear high-res graphics of the Nintendo Switch make that thing look like the ''hardest'' part of the battle. [[https://i.ibb.co/MV0w5jx/Untitled-1.jpg Your mind doesn't have to be in the gutter to see genitalia]].
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'' has Kamoana. She's a preteen girl that was turned into a Therion, with her Therion-form having her wear what looks like black, swirly bodypaint.
* Barricade from ''VideoGame/TransformersUniverse'', [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Barricade_(WFC) according to TFWiki]], has a crotch shaped like [[Film/Transformers2007 Bonecrusher's]] face.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' when you first encounter [[spoiler:Mettaton]]'s second form and he appears from the smoke, thanks to the way the game's engine handles transparenciesm that area at his crotch looks way too much [[https://i.imgur.com/NirUFAv.png like a penis]]. Making things worse is the game has repeatedly played up how Alphys finds this form sexy and that it's an intentional in-universe case of {{fanservice}}.
* In ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'', Dagas wears an outfit similar to Napoleonic royalty, including white pants. This would be fine if his skin wasn't [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation just as snow-white as those pants,]] which to some can [[NudeColoredClothes make it look like a cut-out showing off his crotch.]]

* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
** ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations'' gives us Luke Atmey, who has a particular character sprite that was ''supposed'' to be [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/aceattorney/images/9/99/Atmey_Breaks_2.gif/revision/latest?cb=20100329184301 laughing crazily]], but due to his left arm moving in a back-and-forth motion accompanied by a happy look on his face, more than a few gamers have said that it looks more like he's, erm... pleasuring himself.
** Daryan Crescend from ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'', with his oversized, [[http://www.court-records.net/arts/artbook/artofgs-464.jpg phallic pompadour with a patch of white on the tip]]. It's supposed to look like a torpedo, tying into his [[AnimalMotifs shark motif]], but many fans like to joke that it just reinforces the fact that [[{{Pun}} he's a dickhead]]. The fact that his hair droops when he's upset/worried only makes the implications more obvious.

* {{Invoked|Trope}} in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/08/06/ this]] ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' comic, based on a real conversation between the artist and writer. The image is no longer on the site, but Tycho showed a vertical banner meant to be hung in one of their convention halls. Gabe was positioned below Tycho, giving a thumbs up, but his hand happened to be placed exactly on top of his crotch, making it look like Gabe was giving Tycho an eager handjob.
* ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'' sometimes used the "triangle" art style of Gadzikowski's ''Webcomic/TheHeroOfThreeFaces''. Lancelot in the superhero arc was a Batman-like character called the White Night, who wore a white cowl. The one appearance of White Night in triangle format was a NoFourthWall strip concluding they should never do it again.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BalloonLand'': The Pin Cushion Man is shaped to look like a safety pin, which his head and mouth being the clasp. However, when the pin point is unclasped, it looks like an erect penis sticking out of his cushion. This, combined with his predatory behavior, has earned him a reputation as a MemeticMolester.
* When ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'' did its version of ''ComicBook/EmperorJoker'', it gave the Joker a crown in the shape of a whoopie-cushion. However, there are a few people who say his crown looks more like a giant pink condom.
* Recurring ''WesternAnimation/{{Beetlejuice}}'' villain Scuzzo the Clown has a black face with a long nose in reference to the mask worn by the Pulcinella comedy character, but combined with his red lips it is easy to misinterpret as a blackface caricature.
* The titular character of ''WesternAnimation/{{Bing}}'' is an anthropomorphic rabbit who looks somewhat like a Blackface caricature with a cleft lip.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
** An in-universe example where Peter [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct designs a toy]] called [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101211235832/familyguy/images/thumb/0/0b/Mr._Zucchini_Head.jpg/300px-Mr._Zucchini_Head.jpg "Mr. Zucchini Head."]] That "dances" (read: ''vibrates'').
** There's at least two instances where they lampshade that Peter's chin looks like a pair of testicles: once when the FCC is censoring RealLife and they debate whether Peter's face needs to be censored because of it, and [[BrickJoke again in a much earlier episode in season 3 when Peter is stroking his chin in thought]] before it comes off in his hand. He exclaims "Agh! How did these get up here?", then [[RuleOfFunny sticks his "chin" into the front of his pants]].
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible:'' The titular character's upper lip looks like a mustache to some people because of the way it's stylized. Other female characters have this same problem as well. Once you see it you can't unsee it.
* This may or may not have been intentional, but the head cat of Birds Anonymous from the ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short of the same name appears to be high due to his half-closed eyes and dazed expression.
* ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'': Gloomius Maximus has a faint, reddish dripping stain on his chin. It might be rust, or maybe the red paint on his lips leaking. But (hopefully) unintentionally, it looks almost like a blood stain.
* One of the issues with ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles''[='=]s Splinter was his character design. While his short, pudgy stature was meant tio evoke Creator/DannyDeVito, but the smaller eyes make him look like he's squinting like a stereotypical Asian -- which wasn't helped by his promotional key art was extremely unflattering and actually showed him squinting in exertion.
* ''WesternAnimation/SmilingFriends'' has an in-universe example with the forest demon. He is a black humanoid with a large mouth and branches on his head that act as hair. When the demon accidentally invades a Halloween party, the guests think that he’s a human dressed up as {{Blackface}}. After he [[CassandraTruth unsuccessfully tries to tell the them the truth]] and that he just naturally looks like that, they proceed to [[DisproportionateRetribution beat him to death, devour his insides, and light the corpse on fire.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', there is a [[https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Incidental_30 background anchovy]] with a protruding belly button. Due to a combination of the way that his belly button is drawn and the position on his stomach, many fans misinterpreted it as a penis.
* It's not uncommon for ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'' fans to point out how [[spoiler:Monster Steven]] looks like he has a penis for a head, thanks in no small part to his thick long neck and the small, rounded shape of his head. The fact that his skin is entirely pink does not help.

* The [=OrganWise=] Guys is a company dedicated to promoting good health among children. Fair enough. They also use various mascots to represents different types of health. Still fair enough. They have an anthropomorphic StockFemurBone called "Calci M. Bone" to promote good bone and dental health. Still fair enough. Then they made a poster depicting her [[https://me.me/i/calci-m-bone-me-irl-3657512 wearing a hat.]] Suddenly the bone looks like a different part of the body. And to make things even better, her name has a "®" symbol after it, meaning that the poster literally says "Calci M. Bone®".
* The UsefulNotes/NationalHockeyLeague's Columbus Blue Jackets introduced a second mascot, Boomer, to go along with their cannon-themed third jersey in 2010. Boomer, whose costume was an inflatable cannon suit with "wheels" at the legs, was derided for being too phallic, and was quietly phased out.
* Early Euro coins showed a map of the EU countries. On the 1 and 2 Euro coins, Scandinavia minus Norway ended up looking like flaccid male genitalia. They changed it to a complete European map after a few years.
* During D23 Expo 2022, Disney would unveil a special WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse ear hat and WesternAnimation/MinnieMouse ear headband intended to celebrate the company's [[MilestoneCelebration 100th anniversary]]. However, the design they went with is um… [[https://disneydiary.com/2022/09/you-can-pre-order-platinum-mickey-and-minnie-ears-for-disneys-100th-anniversary/ questionable to say the least]]. The idea was that they've been splashed with platinum paint. However, many have noted it looks like they've been splashed by a certain white bodily fluid instead. The fact that the item description on the [=shopDisney=] site says Mickey and Minnie are "[[AccidentalInnuendo dripping with excitement]]" only makes it worse. Likely in response to this, Disney would quietly change the item description to rid the "dripping with excitement" part a few days after the intial listing, before they ultimately decided to delist both hats from the store shortly after.
