* The hardware of the UsefulNotes/AtariJaguar combined with the CD add-on made the system end up looking like a toilet. Considering the console's drawbacks, it wasn't far off.

* During the E3 2013 presentation for the UsefulNotes/XboxOne, a male gamer was playing ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'' against a female gamer. When it was apparent that she was on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle, he quipped "just let it happen, it'll be over soon". What was meant to be a BadassBoast ended up sounding like a [[DudeNotFunny joke about rape]], which didn't settle well with many viewers.

* Even the dust dry area of mathematics contains some stuff that is pure HehHehYouSaidX material: Coxeter group (and its [[http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.0873 Tits boundary]]), Pumping Lemma, P-Space hard, Cuntz algebra, Hairy Ball theorem...Enough!! See" [[http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=6683570 Rude math :-)]]" for an exhaustive list...Also there's an SMBC comic that points out that, referring to math terms, sexation is repeated penetration.

* When Creator/WaltDisney was making sure the ''Ride/CarouselOfProgress'' was ready for its premiere at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, Alice Davis ([[UsefulNotes/DisneysNineOldMen Marc Davis' wife]]) was doing the costume work while simultaneously running the rotating theater. However, while putting the pants on the animatronic "John/Father". Alice was on her hands and knees near the animatronic's lap, trying to reach behind it snap the pants closed behind it. However, she was unaware that the curtain had opened up at that exact moment. This resulted in Alice hearing Walt roaring in the audience, since it looked like she was performing a very adult act while John/Father exclaimed "Very hot for July!". Completely embarrassed, she ran off stage, but Walt later reassured her by telling her "That was the funniest damn thing I've seen in a while!". [[https://podcasts.jimhillmedia.com/show/fine-tooning/fine-tooning-with-drew-taylor-episode-196-remembering-alice-estes-davis-1929-2022/ Alice Davis would occasionally tell this amusing story]] to a handful of the folks at Creator/{{Disney}} in the later years of her life.

* The Columbus Blue Jackets revealed a new, secondary team mascot along with their new third jerseys in November 2010. The mascot, Boomer (a person in an inflatable suit shaped like a cannon), was intended to be geared toward younger fans, specifically early elementary age, 8 and younger. [[http://theotherpaper.com/articles/2010/12/11/blogs/jacket_racket/doc4d03fd239b005172676576.txt Unfortunately, nobody in the Jackets' marketing department could see how this would be a problem.]] It might've helped if they'd considered focus group testing that went beyond just the 8-and-under crowd. It also doesn't help that Boomer is a tie-in with the club's third jersey - which the team opted not to wear for its scheduled fifth appearance, after losing their first four games in them, even leading to the team taking the third-jersey schedule off their website.[[note]]NHL players are very, ''very'' superstitious.[[/note]]

* The mineral Cummingtonite is actually named after a town in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts. There's also [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsole Arsole]]. The name is related to arsenic. ([[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} That Other Wiki]] notes that some find the name "silly" in a disapproving settle-down-class manner.)

* A legendary German classic, said by sport reporter Heinz Maegerlein on a ski event 1959: "Tausende standen an den Hängen und Pisten". [[note]]"Thousands stood on the hillsides and slopes."[[/note]] However, "Pisten" is a homophone to "pissten" [[note]]"pissed"[[/note]] - and even worse, both interpretations are grammatically correct. [[NeverLiveItDown Poor guy never lived it down.]]

* Similarly, the anchors on the Australian Today show [[https://youtu.be/A_fMN9kFm14 discuss what they use for home defense]] after one brings up the "[[BuffySpeak long, stabby thing]]" he keeps next to his bed. Cue one of the women stating that her ''husband'' is her "[[BiggusDickus long, stabby thing]]" without ever realizing she ran afoul of this trope. The other male anchor mentions that he dislikes the idea of stabbing an intruder, stating that he'd "prefer whackin' 'em off from a distance" - [[ThatCameOutWrong though he immediately realized his mistake]].
