Basic Trope: Someone is caught masturbating.
- Straight: Bob is masturbating, and Alice walks in. Awkwardness ensues.
- Exaggerated:
- Bob was having sex with someone.
- Any time Bob tries to masturbate, someone always walks in.
- An entire search party comes in to look for Bob while he's tugging it.
- The entire government raids Bob's house as soon as he puts "p" in the search bar. Bonus points if he was searching something up completely innocuous.
- Downplayed:
- Bob was simply doing something rather suggestive when Alice walked in, such as watching porn without actually touching himself.
- An insect flies on Bob's monitor and obscures the anime titties on his screen. Bob tries to kill the moth, but fails.
- Alice walks in on Bob doing a Kissing Warm-Up.
- Justified:
- Bob forgot to lock his door, and was fairly quiet in the process, so Alice didn't know he was in.
- Alice was planning on robbing the house, she slowly backs away after entering through Bob's window.
- The lock on Bob's door is broken, he thinks the door is locked when it is not.
- Inverted:
- Alice catches Bob watching a show for babies.
- Bob's boss catches him on spreadsheet instead of having sex with the other pornstars.
- Bob was on suspicious websites so now the porn is watching him.
- Bob is doing something perfectly innocent, but tells Alice that he is jacking off and/or watching porn as an Embarrassing Cover-Up.
- Subverted: Alice thinks this is what Bob is doing, but it turns out that he was Mistaken for Masturbating and there is a perfectly innocent reason for why he's doing that.
- Double Subverted: And then she walks in on Charlie...
- Parodied:
- Bob locked the door, closed the blinds, is home alone, and shut off his camera. Bob finally tries watching porn, but Jesus Christ himself descends from the heavens. Jesus asks Bob to either stop or marry his computer. Bob chooses the latter and continues jerking it. Then Bob's mom walks in, to the horror of everyone involved.
- Bob walks in on tsundere Alice pleasuring herself, while going on one of her usual "Bob you idiot" rants.
- Zig-Zagged: Alice initially thinks that Bob is fapping, but dismisses it. Bob actually was and when Alice caught him, she joined in.
- Averted:
- Nobody walks in on anyone masturbating.
- Nobody masturbates.
- Enforced: "We should add some Cringe Comedy to this scene."
- Lampshaded:
- "I can't ever jerk off in peace anymore,"
- "Bob has issues. Every time that I've seen him I catch him white handed".
- Invoked: Alice is fully aware of what Bob is doing and decides to walk in on him anyway.
- Exploited:
- Bob's roommate Alice secretly lusts after him, and waits for him to start masturbating before she walks in his room naked, hoping that Bob would be fine with her joining in.
- Evulz breaks in and uses Bob's porn preferences as Black Mail.
- Defied: Bob locks his door.
- Discussed: "Dude, put your dick away for a second and close the tab that I'm on. I hear footsteps from your room."
- Conversed: "Does nobody ever lock their door in fiction?"
- Played for Laughs: Cringe Comedy.
- Played for Drama:
- Alice is disturbed by what she sees.
- The situation is a form of sexual harassment, whether it be Alice disrupting Bob's privacy or Bob making sure Alice steps into his room without knowing what is going on.
- Played for Horror: Alice honor kills Bob and her own children over Bob watching porn.
Oops! When you said you were going to be in your room for a while, I thought you just meant you were gonna be on TV Tropes!
