History NotWhatItLooksLike / LiveActionTV

** In the episode "Salvage", this is the villainous Angelus' verbatim reaction to being caught holding Lilah's body right after she'd been [[spoiler: stabbed in the neck by Cordelia]]. Everyone naturally assumes he's the one who killed her, and Angelus is so amused by this turn of events, and by the fact that the heroes would never believe him anyway, that he doesn't even try to hide his snickers as he delivers the line.

** In "Sanctuary" Buffy rushes to Los Angeles after hearing rogue Slayer Faith is gunning for her former {{Love Interest|s}}, only to find a recently-showered, shirt-unbuttoned Angel giving Faith a CooldownHug. The fact that Faith recently slept with Buffy's current boyfriend does not help matters.

** "Hush" has a memorable "Not What it Looks Like" facial expression. While Anya is napping on the couch, a vamped-out Spike, who had just been drinking blood from his favorite mug, kneels down to retrieve something. Cue Xander, who walks in to see Spike, his lips covered in blood, his forehead all bumpy, come up from behind Anya's neck. Xander proceeds to render the be-chipped Spike into [[BerserkButton fist burger]] even as Spike flashes wide eyes and a "wait wait!" expression. Once the truth comes out, Anya is flattered (while Spike, who only gets an apologetic shrug from Xander, rolls his eyes at them).

** "Witch" has this exchange when Willow discovers that Xander's been checking out books on witchcraft:

** Later played for drama in "Angel" when Darla feeds off Joyce. Angel, in vamp face, tries to help, but Buffy walks in on him right as Darla leaves him holding Joyce's unconscious body.
** And in "Revelations" when Xander discovers that not only is Angel back from the dead, but he's snogging Buffy. Given that sex with Buffy turned him into the evil Angelus, the Scoobies are understandably pissed.

** In "Wrecked" we have a lot of [[FantasticDrug unsubtle magic = drugs metaphors]], so Buffy isn't amused when she finds witch Amy with a bag of weed.

'''Rebecca''': [[EyeScream Joey had cream filling in his eye.]]\\
'''Joey''': You squeeze one and -- pffft.\\

*** There's a Romulan on the bridge, looming over a fallen Riker ([[spoiler:Riker was knocked down when [[StarTrekShake the ship shook]] and the Romulan was about to help him up]]);

*** The Romulan Warbird is firing upon ''Enterprise'' ([[spoiler:but only with the intent to disrupt the energy transfer beam which is overloading their engines and which ''Enterprise'' cannot shut down]]);
*** There's a Romulan on the bridge, looming over a fallen Riker ([[spoiler:he's moving to offer assistance]]);

** In another episode, Diane (the mutual ex-wife of Gibbs and Fornell) is at [=McGee=]'s place in protective custody, and they fall asleep on his couch--albeit fully clothed, implying that nothing sexual happened. Unfortunately, they don't wake up until Gibbs and Fornell arrive. Gibbs looks mildly bemused, while Fornell is ''pissed''. Tony, naturally, makes sure that [=McGee=] can NeverLiveItDown.

* In the ''Series/HereComeTheBrides'' episode "A Man's Errand," Candy is crying over Jason's controlling behavior, and Ward leans over to wipe the tears from her face. Jeremy wanders into the area, and from his angle, it looks like they're kissing.

* ''Series/ModernFamily'': Mitchell and Cameron get into a silly fight about a trophy that each has won. Mitchell eventually decides to make up by displaying all of Cam's other trophies on the mantlepiece. He gets the box of trophies from the garage - but a mouse pops out. Mitchell drops the trophies and starts stamping around to kill the mouse -- but to Cam it looks like he's tramping on the trophies.
-->'''Mitchell:''' I was going to make this whole display!\\

** In "Close Shave", Maggie's volunteering as a nurse at a local hospital. But one night, Maggie gets Fran to cover for her as she goes to a concert with her friends. However, Fran finds herself in a room with Maxwell, who's suffering from a sudden case of appendicitis and needs surgery. When the surgeon tells Fran to shave him for surgery, Fran tries to get out of it, but is pressured into doing so. Then, Niles walks in, finding Fran spraying and massaging shaving cream all over Maxwell's lower body, leading him to ask "[[DoubleEntendre Bucking for a raise]]?".

* ''Series/{{Supergirl|2015}}'': Lena Luthor and Winslow Schott, both tech geniuses, meet at a gala that is then attacked by people with alien guns. They crawl under the stage to fix a device to disable the guns, and when they crawl back out, sweating and disheveled, everyone stares.
-->'''Winn:''' This isn't--we weren't--we saved the day!

* In an episode of ''Series/TheNanny'', Fran gets a too-tight dress stuck over her head and Mr. Sheffield tries to help her remove it. Just as they manage to pull it off, they over balance and fall down onto her bed, just as Niles is walking past. Niles overheard them saying things like "Don't worry Miss Fine, we'll get it on!", "Mister Sheffield, I'm so hot!" and "I can't do this standing up! Just get on the bed!", and afterwards asks "If you let me tell Miss Babcock about this, I'll work free for a year!"
** In another episode, Fran crawls under Maxwell's desk to massage his foot. Then Niles walks in and hears Fran's voice say "How does this feel Mister Sheffield? Do you want me to rub some lotion on it?" from under the desk, he pauses, then whispers "Should I leave?"

** "Off the Record" has an example from ''both'' sides. Reese sneaks into Lucifer's suite and finds a woman who's gagged and TiedToABed. She's very displeased when he tries to rescue her: she's exactly where she wants to be, but assumes that Lucifer is trying to add Reese to their erotic roleplay without her prior consent.

* ''Series/{{Charmed}}'' had that episode where they fought an evil wizard. His minion, a golem, reveals to Paige that he has no belly button. She has to ''go down on her knees'' to see. In comes Piper.

* In ''Series/TheOuterLimits1995'' episode "Last Supper", immortal Jade lifts her shirt to show Frank her birthmark. Unfortunately, her boyfriend (Frank's son) and his wife walk in on them and take it the wrong way. In a strange twist, he knows about the birthmark because he ''had'' cheated on his wife with her, but that was thirty years before.

* ''Series/GraceAndFrankie'': Referenced for laughs when Brianna pays Coyote an unexpected visit, only for a half-naked young man -- [[spoiler:Coyote's long-lost half-brother]] -- to come out of the bathroom.

-->'''Brianna:''' I know there's a perfectly good explanation for this, but ''please'' don't tell me yet.
