History Main / HeadTiltinglyKinky

Compare ComicSutra, which creates similar kinky fun by suggesting something unspeakably obscene and letting the audience's imaginations fill in the details.

See NoodleIncident for the non-sexual version of this trope. See also StrangelyArousing, when characters get this reaction to things that would ''normally'' be considered non-sexual.

* In Comicbook/HarleyQuinn's ''New 52'' series, she and Poison Ivy go to the movies in one issue. They (and the rest of the theater) do this while watching a pastiche of ''Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey''.

-->'''Starscream:''' ... oil ''there?'' ... ''Optimus Prime?'' I would ''never''-

** In ''Literature/{{Pyramids}}'' the highly-trained but (it's implied) virginal handmaiden Ptraci gets professionally interested in a sailor's pornographic tattoos: "That's from ''101 days in Pseudopolis'', it's physically impossible... Oh look, it's the Congress of the Friendly Dog and the Two Small Biscuits! You can even see the yoghurt!"

* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': In the 6th season episode "Inescapable" [[OfficialCouple Fitz and Simmons]] are wired into a mind prison where their thoughts are given life. During the episode, they both have to face their inner demons (The Doctor, the evil Fitz from the Framework, and Nightmare Simmons, a zombie-like version of Simmons who represents her own darker side). Finally, Fitz and Simmons prepare to face off against their darker sides...only to see the Doctor and Nightmare Simmons getting freaky together. They find themselves quite intrigued by the sight.
-->'''Fitz:''' What...The hell?\\
'''Simmons:''' Okay...okay...\\

'''Castle:''' Only a handful of shops? Okay, what aren’t you telling me?\\

** In "[[Recap/CommunityS2E09ConspiracyTheoriesAndInteriorDesign Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design]]," Jeff and Annie chase a mystery professor into Troy and Abed's blanket-fort village. During the pursuit, they momentarily stop short at a chamber where Britta is lounging contentedly with an odd assortment of half-dressed, mask-wearing, face-painted denizens.
** In "[[Recap/CommunityS2E14AdvancedDungeonsAndDragons Advanced Dungeons and Dragons]]," Annie, playing 'Hector the Well-Endowed', uses her turn to seduce an elf maiden (played by Abed) for a favor. She's easily the least sexually experienced member of the group, but her lengthy description of her moves (unheard to us, but played out with hand gestures) has the rest of the group in stunned, often alarmed silence. Troy starts taking notes.

** Also, during a different episode's "Scenes From a Hat," the scene "What's on TV in Hell."

* ''WebVideo/JoueurDuGrenier'': In the ''Papy Grenier'' special episode about ''Resident Evil'', Gilles Valentine (Seb) tilts his head just after Chris Redfield ([=JdG=]) throws a Japanese Schoolgirl toward a tentacle monster to distract it.

* In ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts 2'', during a sidequest involving Joachim, you become involved in "The Man Festival," which basically involves climbing a tower of wrestling rings and defeating several opponents. On reaching the top and defeating the champion, known as The Great Question, you are informed that now Joachim must take part in a ritual involving "receiving the other's manhood." The scene then cuts to Yuri and Anastasia, who have accompanied Joachim to the top, and their reactions are quite honestly the most [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyOQDvkkZo4#t=4m37s hilarious thing you'll ever see in a video game.]]

* In a ''very'' NSFW 'VideoGame/GodOfWar'' minicomic, Aphrodite tells Kratos to petrify the Minotaurs using the head of Medusa. Well, after what Kratos does with the head of Medusa, the Minotaurs ''[[ExactWords are]]'' petrified.

* In a ''very'' NSFW minicomic on ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'', Aphrodite tells Kratos to petrify the Minotaurs using the head of Medusa. [[ExactWords Well, after what Kratos does with the head of Medusa, the Minotaurs *are* petrified]].
* Early in Act 2 of ''Fanfic/TheNextFrontier'', [[VideoGame/KerbalSpaceProgram the Kerbals]] [[AliensStealCable monitor some local TV broadcasts]] as prep for FirstContact. They find a porn channel:

->''"I'm disgusted, I'm repulsed... And I can't look away."''

* ''ComicBook/TheBlackRing'': Whatever ComicBook/LexLuthor's fantasies are, they're enough to momentarily startle [[ComicBook/TheSandman1989 Death]], who has quite literally SeenItAll.

* ''ComicBook/TheBlackRing'': Whatever ComicBook/LexLuthor's fantasies are, they're enough to momentarily startle [[ComicBook/TheSandman Death]], who has quite literally SeenItAll.

* Occurs in ''Series/MyHero'' when George and Janet read a lewd diagram of what one woman would like to do to Thermoman.

** Another episode has [[SexManiac Dan]] looking at a sexy picture, yelping in surprise and amazement ... and then turning it upside down and yelping ''again''.

* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'': If you bring [[ReallyGetsAround Isabella]] along on Sebastian's quest, she has this reaction when you walk in on a nobleman getting into some implied S&M with a servant. More conservative party members like Sebastian have more of a BrainBleach reaction.

* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'': [[http://bobadventures.comicgenesis.com/d/20101204.html We don't actually get to see the three-eyed lobster aliens mating.]] [[BrainBleach We're told that's a good thing]].

* The short-lived sequel to ''Series/BabylonFive'', ''Series/{{Crusade}}'', has {{Jerkass}} anthropologist Eilerson accidentally slip Captain Gideon some human/alien porn because he was too lazy to type out a report or realize he was recording over some of his PornStash let alone erase it first. Most fans of the series will give a FascinatingEyebrow at the ''names alone'' - "Snow White and the Seven Narns," "Who's Your Little pak'ma'ra"... but the ''really'' kinky part [[AllThereInTheManual must be looked up]]; pak'ma'ra have truly BizarreSexualDimorphism: half of the species is actually immobile and '''permanently attaches itself to the humanoid's back.''' A pak'ma'ra's "sex" organs would be at the base of its ''neck''. The ship's doctor mentions that this makes the entire concept absurd; cue the Head Tilt. Gideon fiddles with the data crystal in front of Eilerson just to screw with him for much of the episode, and the final payoff involves using it to [[WeNeedADistraction distract]] some [[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy prison guards]] during a daring rescue. Perhaps too well, as even the thief was distracted to the point of head-tilt!

* [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in ''Film/TheArtOfWar''. Wesley Snipes' character is getting blackmail material on a Chinese general, as a hostess gives him a blowjob under the table. There's a male/female team at MissionControl; the woman says how disgusting the general is, [[AllMenArePerverts while the man tilts his head to look]]. In this case, however, it's not because the action is in an odd position, but because the camera image is (Wes is holding the camera under the table).

-->'''Scheherazade:''' That's impossible!" ''[tilts head]'' Or is it?

* In ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' Jerin is asked whether it is true that is grandfather was trained in "The Paths of Pleasure" and passed this knowledge to him. He is very embarrassed as it is ''not'' an appropriate topic of conversation, but eventually admits that his father and grandfather gave him TheTalk, and he sort of knows what it's all about.[[spoiler:When another character mentions that Jerin can do "magic" (talking about magic tricks, it's low fantasy), the woman who had sex with him immediately thinks of their encounter and hopes that he didn't do ''that'' in front of the children]].

[[SexTropes Sex sells]], but [[CensorshipTropes censors censor]]. Getting the goods to penetrate that [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar blockade]] is [[DoubleEntendre hard]]. Then there's times that characters do ''[[TooKinkyToTorture really]]'' [[FlexibilityEqualsSexAbility twisty-turny stuff]], in front of a crowd! Stuff [[CensorSteam so steamy]], just telling it can get people flustered, and as for showing it, well, the MoralGuardians that don't {{faint|ing}} will break out the TorchesAndPitchforks.

The solution? Let the audience TakeOurWordForIt. Keep the [[UnusualEuphemism limber lambada]] dancers off-screen and have [[ReactionShot witnesses tilt their heads]] or turn the magazine sideways, preferably with their mouths [[JawDrop agape]]. Their conversation may be vague about what is happening, yet still implying something kinky is happening, possibly at an oblique angle, and they can't take their eyes off it.

-->"Giles had been a little more serious about his prostitute predilection than Fletcher's file had let on. I turned one of the photos sideways. More flexible, too."

* Creator/TanyaHuff's ''[[Literature/SmokeAndShadows Smoke]]'' series includes a guy who has found a pornographic deck of cards. One particular card makes him exclaim that he doesn't think that's ''possible'', and another character replies that "It's possible, but the second woman has to be very flexible and he's going to have a sore back later." Cue bogglement.

'''Karn:''' Are all ninjas that flexible?

* An episode of ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' has Danny and Hawkes find a sex tape during an investigation, recorded over a walrus documentary. PlayedWith as the audience gets glimpses of the tape, but downright hilarious as Adam (the AV LabRat) and Lindsey are also tilting their heads at the footage.

'''Balalaika:''' (''completely deadpan'') ...Sure is.

* One random ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' fanfic called [[http://florestica.com/dbsommer/azumanga/se/index.htm "Sex Education"]] brings up the consequences of Minamo-sensei's drunken sex-ed lesson from the anime when Chiyo-chan mentions part of it (she doesn't know) in an actual sex-ed class. Nyamo is promptly called up to the office to speak to the principal and ends up demonstrating to a skeptical principal that it ''is'' possible for a woman to, quote, "[[AC:expletive deleted]] her [[AC:expletive deleted]] with her [[AC:expletive deleted]]" ("after a few minutes of contortionism, Minamo unwound her limbs, satisfied that she'd proved her point"). The principal is promptly transformed into "a copy of Kimura, right down the fogged up glasses and detached jaw", and develops a convenient [[TraumaInducedAmnesia episode of amnesia]].
--> '''Minamo:''' My gym coach in high school said I had a slinky for a spine...

* In the {{Crossover}} [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2544224/1/CSI_Death_by_Chocolate "CSI: Death by Chocolate,"]] Greg Sanders has this reaction to adult Violet Beauregard, now a contortionist in the Cirque du Soleil, combing her hair. With her feet. From behind.

--> '''Rory:''' "Either they made up, or Krav Maga[[note]]A form of martial art that Paris and Doyle are learning for self-defense[[/note]] is way kinkier than I thought it was!"

** In "Adult Education," Blanche reports a teacher for sexual harassment. The dean takes out a form and begins to ask questions about the incident. He stops at one of them, saying "Good Lord, I can't ask you this! I can't even ask my wife this! (''tilts head'') I'd like to, though..."

-->'''Dorothy:''' What are they ''doing''?\\

** A sketch where a children's TV presenter reading a series of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MstyFwhLy4 stories]] which invariably turn pornographic. "Discipline? Naked? (''turns the book sideways'') ...with a ''melon''?"

* The ''Series/NightCourt'' gang watches a porn tape that is evidence in a case. The back of the TV set is to the camera, and they all slowly tilt their heads in the same direction.
-->'''Christine:''' (''covering her eyes'') Whatever happened to earning a boy's ''respect''?\\

-->'''Chris:''' She said she couldn't do that... it was "uncomfortable." (''Ken and Chris look at the picture and Head Tilt''.)
* ''Series/TrueBlood'' has a sex scene in which a head is tilted (actually, turned 180°).

* ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent''

[[folder:Web Original]]

* ''WebVideo/DreamMachine'': Ryan and Josie’s reaction to the West Chesterham-themed adult fan art Leah was looking at.

* The ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode "The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers" revolves around a porn video, "Backdoor Sluts 9," that the children accidentally come to possess. All the adult men in the episode recognize the title instantly as the "single most vile, twisted, dark piece of porn ever produced" (without ever saying why). It's not until late in the episode that Token explicitly (pun intended) describes some of the tape's contents, which include salad dressing and DVDA.

** something of a running gag, Marigold in a bikini and Bubbles without her armour produce similar reactions, mostly from Dora and Tai

Occasionally, happens with other weird events, as people tend to imitate others' actions subconsciously.

* In the ''Manga/LoveHina'' manga, Kanako dresses Mutsumi up as Keitaro for a role-play exercise (ItMakesSenseInContext). Mutsumi is quick to point out that she has not left any detail untouched by lifting the robe she's wearing. The reactions of Naru, Shinobu and Motoko are this combined with bug eyes.

* One random ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' fanfic called [[http://florestica.com/dbsommer/azumanga/se/index.htm "Sex Education"]] brings up the consequences of Minamo-sensei's drunken sex-ed lesson from the anime when Chiyo-chan mentions part of it (she doesn't know) in an actual sex-ed class.

The principal is promptly transformed into "a copy of Kimura, right down the fogged up glasses and detached jaw", and develops a convenient [[TraumaInducedAmnesia episode of amnesia]].

* The SF "Worlds Apart" by Richard Cowper contains a scene with a) jelly beans, b) slurping noises and c) a very prudish wife of the protagonist who probably has d) a mind-shattering orgasm and never forgives the hero for that. Since the whole book is a MindScrew, it's up to the reader's interpretation anyway.
* "Und Jimmy ging zum Regenbogen" by Austrian author Johannes Mario Simmel. The whore tells the protagonist a LongList of fetishes the big heads of the top class are fond of...stuff we can only guess, since it's up par to the [[Creator/EdwardGorey Lithuanian Typewriter]]. (If you have an idea what hoods, saws, fiver pyramids, hedgehog-and-hare, the Little Sandman and water women signify, please edit this description. No wild guesses please.)

** At the end of "Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley", Agatha brings home a copy of the nude yoga dvd. As she and Gemma sit down to watch it, they immediately start tilting their heads at an odd angle.

* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': In the 6th season episode "Inescapable" [[OfficialCouple Fitz and Simmons]] are wired into a mind prison where their thoughts are given life.

Finally Fitz and Simmons prepare to face off against their darker sides...only to see the Doctor and Nightmare Simmons getting freaky together. They find themselves quite intrigued by the sight.

* In an episode of ''Series/{{Becker}}'', Margaret and Linda accidentally come across porn on the Internet. After a few clicks, they tilt their heads to try and figure out what's going on. In another episode Bob writes a check for Reggie, and Reggie is surprised to see a "woman" on it. Bob explains it's actually three women and a donkey, and if you flick it they move.

* ''Series/{{Columbo}}'': In "The Conspirators", Columbo is in a bookstore waiting for one of the sales clerks to get back to him. He picks up a book titled ''A New History of Erotic Art'' and starts leafing through it. After a few seconds, he stops and peers intently at a page, then turns the book round. Getting a disapproving look from a customer, he puts the book back, but then returns to it a few moments later.

** In "[[Recap/CommunityS2E09ConspiracyTheoriesAndInteriorDesign Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design]]," Jeff and Annie chase a mystery professor into Troy and Abed's blanket-fort village. During the pursuit they momentarily stop short at a chamber where Britta is lounging contentedly with an odd assortment of half-dressed, mask-wearing, face-painted denizens.

(''Doctor leafs through book in shock'')

* One episode of ''Series/GilmoreGirls'' has Rory and Logan fighting and Paris and Doyle broken up. When Rory learns about the latter, she goes over to Paris's apartment, hoping to take advantage of the situation to move in with Paris (since she no longer wants to live with Logan). Both boys eventually show up, and Rory goes into the hall with Logan while Paris and Doyle talk in the apartment. Rory and Logan patch things up, but when she goes to tell Paris, she opens the door, immediately closes it, and turns back to Logan.

* ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'': After a holiday where the Kenarvans have been either throwing passive-agressive insults to each other or outright yelling behind doors, Lois tells Kitty that they should try to solve their problems. Kitty goes to Abe's room and they start yelling again... and then we hear someone slamming against the wall and something breaking. Lois goes try to calm them, but after opening the door, she quickly closes back and runs off.

* ''Series/NewTricks'': In "Cry Me a River," UCOS are watching a porn video starring the victim of the cold case they have just reopened. Sandra, Gerry and Steve all tilt their heads to the side in unison just as new member Dan walks through the door behind them.

** A variation on this in the infamous "shrinking boxers" scene, as Rimmer walks in on Kryten and Lister and entirely misinterprets what's going on. Headtilting ensues.

** And in "Krytie TV", while Lister and Rimmer are watching the feed from the girls' shower room, they start tilting their heads, mouthes gaping.

-->'''Colin:''' And we call ''this'' position "Pruning the Hibiscus!"\\

-->'''Colin:''' "Buttcracks of the Rich and Famous!"\\
(''Brad runs on stage behind him and "watches," tilts his head and keeps it tilted as he walks off''.)

** In sister comic "The Legend of Anne Bunny", Anne looks for her shipmate in a brothel. The first time she peeks into a wrong room, she slams the door and thinks, "I didn't know you could do that outside of space!"

-->'''Tedd:''' Whoa I needs to get me some yarn!

** In the episode when they go to Brazil, Bart is watching a kids TV show hosted by a woman in a very {{Stripperific}} outfit. The bit on "counting" has scantily clad dancers writhing around on giant letters and a showgirl demonstrates "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" using the tasseled pasties on her chest. As the shot cuts away from the show, the host says "On top of... beneath!" Marge and Bart can only stare in disbelief.

* ''Series/JAG'' Harriet and Bud are in a hotel enjoying a weekend together and mention a couple times they're going to rent ''Film/FreeWilly''. They get in bed and turn the movie on only for Harriet to quickly point out that Bud rented ''Free The Willy''. Both then tilt their heads in unison almost 90 degrees.

* ''Series/{{Community}}'': in "Conspiracy Theories and Interior Design," Jeff and Annie chase a mystery professor into Troy and Abed's blanket-fort village. During the pursuit they momentarily stop short at a chamber where Britta is lounging contentedly with an odd assortment of half-dressed, mask-wearing, face-painted denizens.
** In "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons," Annie, playing 'Hector the Well-Endowed', uses her turn to seduce an elf maiden (played by Abed) for a favor. She's easily the least sexually experienced member of the group, but her lengthy description of her moves (unheard to us, but played out with hand gestures) has the rest of the group in stunned, often alarmed silence. Troy starts taking notes.

** The actual contents of ''The Joy of Snackes'', Nanny Ogg's "cookbook" in ''Discworld/{{Maskerade}}'' (which has recipes like ''Oyster and Carrot Pie'': carrots so you can see in the dark, oysters so you have something to look at) are only alluded to. But when Granny reads it, in increasing disbelief and shock, there does come a moment (Humorous Cake Decorations; Nanny illustrated that bit) when she has to turn it sideways.

** In ''Discworld/{{Pyramids}}'' the highly-trained but (it's implied) virginal handmaiden Ptraci gets professionally interested in a sailor's pornographic tattoos: "That's from ''101 days in Pseudopolis'', it's physically impossible... Oh look, it's the Congress of the Friendly Dog and the Two Small Biscuits! You can even see the yoghurt!"
