* [[http://www.picturesforsadchildren.com/index.php?comicID=166 "How is this pornography?"]] spoofs this.

** Deadpool has strange tastes to say the least: two of his greatest loves are [[CakeEater Bea Arthur]] and Death, the latter of whom has been shown to reciprocate his feelings.

* Fetishism, blended with tongue-in-cheek {{fanservice}} and a HaremSeeker comedy, forms most of the basis of ''AiKora'' (from the guy who brought you ''MidoriDays'').

* TheNostalgiaCritic has a thing for toppy women, even going as far to say that if any of the ''{{Chicago}}'' ladies wanted to kill him, he'd be happy for them to do so. [[hottip:*: As long as they played "The Cell Block Tango".]]

* The 'Santa' kink showed up, naturally, in ''BadSanta'', with the woman in question moaning "[=FuckmeSantafuckmeSantafuckmeSanta=]..." while having sex with Billy-Bob Thornton wearing a Santa cap.

** Of course there's also Jack Nicholson doing the routine in the original - pretty shocking stuff for 1959.

* Nice Hollystone from ''{{Baccano}}!'' has a very obvious fetish for [[StuffBlowingUp explosions]]. This has, of course, gotten her [[EyeScream seriously injured]] in the past.

* In ''[[AmericanDad American Dad!]]'', Steve has a recurring [[{{Robosexual}} robot fetish]] that has influenced several of the show's plots. However, it definitely isn't a defining character trait.

->'''Etna''': Let me see that, not that I have bottle fetish or anything.
->'''Ticktock''': Etna snatched away the old bottle, she had a vaguely perverted grin on her face too.

* [[Meganekko Shiguma Rika]] of "{{BokuHaTomodachiGaSukunai}}" though dedicated to [[ForScience developing sciences]], she carries around a "dirty magazine." Though it is a mecha fighting manga, once you hear her inflection upon reading it, the audience quickly gets an understanding for why she thinks it is.

** In a recent episode, Langston and Nick were called to investigate a lingerie show, and the latter became ''extremely'' distracted by a model wearing a pleated skirt and shaking pom-poms. When Langston called him on this, Nick admits "I kind of have a thing for cheerleaders." Langston, with a [[IfYouKnowWhatIMean significant downward glance]], says that he noticed.

* On Supernatural, the Dean we know proves his identity to a future version of himself by revealing something absolutely secret about himself: that he has worn women's underwear. And liked it.

See TurnOnTropes for a whole list of these.

* In ''TheWrestler'' Randy meets a young girl who has a thing for... firefighters.After a quickie in the toilet she takes him to her house,where she has a lot of posters with pictures of models dressed as firemen and stuff like "Firemen like it hot" written on them...

* In ''{{Homestuck}}'', [[TestosteronePoisoning Equius Zahhak]] gets off on being ordered around and [[spoiler:being choked with a bowstring]]. [[BadAss Bro]] also has a fetish for puppets.

This page could go into a detailed description of what exactly a {{Fetish}} is, but that's for a UsefulNotes page. Here, we want to get to the part about sick, sexual thrills--what fetishes ''do.'' Not that [[AllWomenAreLustful we're]] [[AllMenArePerverts perverts]] (especially since some of these could be [[{{Squick}} turn-offs]]); it's just that the sexual arousal part [[JustForFun is the most fun]].

In a nutshell, a sexual fetish (or, more properly, a paraphilia) is getting turned on by something that isn't considered a normal turn-on by one's culture. Of course this means what is considered a fetish [[ValuesDissonance will vary]], and puritanical cultures will even consider any form of arousal to be taboo. ''Anything'' that isn't a normal turn-on could be a fetish. That is the other reason not to go into a detailed description of what exactly a fetish is. In fiction, there are general clues to show [[AuthorAppeal what's being treated as a fetish]]--namely, how people react to someone being aroused by something. If people are either disgusted or uncomfortable talking about it, it's generally a fetish. If people are impressed, it's kinky, but still on the edge of normal. [[BoundAndGagged Handcuffs]] can easily slide between fetish and kinky this way.

* ''BigWindup'' - UpToEleven - A whole baseball team worth of fetishes. [[HotForStudent Teachers]], [[NightNurse Nurses]], Western girls Halle Berry and [[WhereDaWhiteWomenAt otherwise]], [[{{Miko}} Shrine Maidens]]. And that's the printable stuff. But it's okay because AllMenArePerverts.

* ''SexAndTheCity'' will discuss all kinds of sex, but fetishes are still treated as too far, like spanking.
** There ''was'' that one-episode foot fetishist shoe salesman, played by James Urbaniak. Charlotte was into it for a bit, IIRC.

** Handcuffs again in the aptly named "The One with the Cuffs"... Rachel's boss Joanna and Chandler date and it ends with a pantsless Chandler handcuffed to a chair in Joanna's office, with Rachel and the [[TheUnFavorite other]] assistant, Sophie, working in the next room.
