Accidental Innuendos in Other Media.


Asian Animation


Eastern European Animation

  • The Unusual Rigans is about a chicken that wants to be the protector of the Latvian city of Riga by "growing into a real cock".

Magazine

  • Private Eye: Sometimes seen in Colemanballs / Commentatorballs, and they also occasionally publish examples of this from newspaper articles (this used to be a much more prevalent feature, back when manual typesetting meant that amusing typos were more common in newspapers).

News


Pinball

  • There exists a "N-Way Combo" in The Simpsons Pinball Party (i.e. 3-Way Combo, 4-Way Combo).
  • The alternate name for the Linear Target in Bad Cats? "Fish Bone-Us".

Podcast

  • This is a semi-regular running gag in Mom Can't Cook!, where the hosts note that some of the dialogue of the various Disney Channel movies sounds filthier than it should.

Radio

Sir Gregory: In a few bungling minutes you've made our currency worthless!
Lennox-Brown: What... what are you going to do, Sir Gregory?
Sir Gregory: You for a start!
  • A common reason for the choice of newspaper clippings on The News Quiz.
  • The object of fun in Innuendo Bingo, a game on Scott Mills' radio show on BBC Radio 1. Contestants hold a mouthful of water and listen to audio clips laden with accidental innuendo from recent TV or radio, with the challenge being not to crack up and spray themselves or the other unfortunate contestant with water. It tends to get wet.
  • In the BBC Radio 4 documentary series Ian Hislop's Oldest Jokes, when Hislop is looking at an Anglo-Saxon book of riddles that contains the oldest known Double Entendre in Britain, he and the historian find themselves using the words "rear" and "back end" when discussing where in the book these occur. Narrator-Hislop claims this was all unintentional, but once you start talking about double entendres, they just happen. He follows this up with an innocent question about whether these would have been spoken originally, then realises "I just said 'Was it oral before it was put down?'"

Shorts


Toys

  • These Spider- Man balloons. Guess that is what he means by "his spider sense is tingling".
  • The vibrating Harry Potter broomstick. This (NSFW) was based on an actual product.
  • Elmo loves balls!
  • My Little Pony: Online product descriptions of the toys put certain items in quotation marks to indicate that they can't actually be used as intended (e.g. plastic cake). (This probably has something to do with avoiding lawsuits.) A description with several words in quotation marks may end up sounding like a Hurricane of Euphemisms.
  • The "Berry Beachy" line of Strawberry Shortcake dolls.
  • Is there no one else who finds the fuzzy, vibrating Tickle Me Elmo hands deeply disturbing? Made even worse for one commercial building up suspense for a new model Tickle Me Elmo where they censored Elmo's body with blurry boxes.
