Accidental Innuendo: Difference between revisions

* ''[[The Mysterious Cities of Gold]]'' had a somewhat [[Squick|Squicky]]y and really creepy one when Menator, leader of the [[Ancient Astronauts|Olmecs]], captured the [[Power Trio]] of kids and assured them with the following line:

* In the original B&W ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers'', hero and heroine are fleeing the alien pod people, and stumbling around from exhaustion (because the aliens get you while you sleep). At one point they're lying side by side, hiding in a ditch from their pursuers, and the woman blearilyblearily—and -- and hilariously -- stammershilariously—stammers out "We'll never make it without sleep...", her lips and body suspiciously close to the man's.

** A great deal of [[Accidental Innuendo]] consistently surrounds the Chamber of Secrets. The fact Harry enters the big cavernous, chamber with a wand and a sword. To top it off the only time anyone goes into the chamber it is one of the [[Official Couple]] (Harry and Ginny, Ron and Hermione).

** Might be a bit of stretch, but ''Sunset'' features some [[Accidental Innuendo|Accidental]] [[Gorn]] with {{spoiler|[[Ho Yay|Brambleclaw driving a long, straight piece of wood into Hawkfrost, and feeling the sharpened end sinking deep into him. Then "Hawkfrost stiffened" and collapsed]] ''[[Ho Yay|directly on top]]'' [[Ho Yay|of Brambleclaw, and was left lying on his chest for a few seconds]]}}.

** Similarly is Buffy -- beforeBuffy—before their relationship begins in "Smashed" -- mistaking—mistaking something Spike says for innuendo e.g. "rough-and-tumble" or "grunt work" -- hinting—hinting that despite Buffy's denials she has begun thinking about Spike sexually. Later when she is secretly having sex with him, the Scoobies keep making comments that remind Buffy of what she's up to, e.g. "[[Bondage Is Bad|We know you've been all tied up]]." and "You've been going at it too hard, slinging the doublemeat and pounding the big evil."

'''Wembley:''' Um, uh... lecherous! <ref> adj. given to or characterized by lechery; erotically suggestive; inciting to lust</ref>

* Also frequently highlighted on ''[[The Soup]]'' is ''Gold Rush Alaska'' on The Discovery Channel. They dig through glory holes with large phallic machinery for crying out loud. They also like to talk about ''Man Woman Wild'', and the host named ''Myke Hawke'' .<ref>My cock, for those who don't get it</ref>.

* [[Jonathan Coulton]] realized after writing it that his song "Drinking with You"--a—a sweet song about, well, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|going out drinking with someone]] you have [[UST]] with--couldwith—could be construed as being about date rape. He put a comment in the song's info on his website how he'd realized the undertones, but that was assuredly ''not'' his intent and the song's sweet tone was meant to be sincere.

* The [http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Penetrator Penetrator] [[BattleTech|BattleMech]] is 75 tons of walking [[Accidental Innuendo]].

* Though [[Shakespeare]] intentionally wrote many [[Double Entendre|Double Entendres]]s into his plays, some of which [[Get Thee to a Nunnery|tend to be lost on modern audiences]], Ophelia's line "he comes before me" in ''[[Hamlet]]'' was probably not meant as innuendo. [[The Reduced Shakespeare Company]], acting with typical [[Refuge in Vulgarity]], presented it as such; a footnote in the published edition of ''[[The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged|The Complete Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged)]]'' suggests two X-rated interpretations.

** "Sweet Shining Shooting Star" on ''DJMAX Technika'': [[media:ssss_asddfasdf_4643ssss asddfasdf 4643.jpg|When you see it, you'll never full-combo this song ever again.]]

* Done a lot by [[Chuggaaconroy]] during his [[Let's Play|Let's Plays]]s, which is especially funny because he has ''many'' very young fans who would never even notice - if he didn't stop to dwell on the innuendo he'd just made ''every single time''.

** At least one person ''didn't even know'' they were trying for a more innocent interpretation. I always just thought that was obvious and nobody had a problem with it. The girls singing about Gaston's manliness and the guys singing about Gaston's manliness sound pretty much the same -- lotssame—lots of the praise in the song is centered on physical beauty and it comes from both girls and guys. I mean, lines such as "For there's no one as burly and brawny!", and "There's no man in town half as manly, perfect, a pure paragon!" are pretty similar. Of course, the phrase, "Every guy here'd love to be you Gaston, even when taking your lumps" and describing him as "slick" may qualify in their own right.

* "Mama Mirabelles Tierkino", a German educational series about animals (the target audience is 0-50–5 years old), had one whole episode about tails. The problem is, that "tail" is a pretty common expression for... [[You Know What I Mean]] in german. So there was one episode about animals talking about how long there ''tails'' are and what great things they can do with their ''tails''.

* Hockey announcers often fall prey to the [[Accidental Innuendo]], mainly due to sticks being used in the sport. References such as a player "having a long stick" and "stick-on-stick action" are common.

** Don't forget about [[wikipedia:Arsole|Arsole ]]

** More like [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Getting ]]{{spoiler|[[Incredibly Lame Pun|cock]]}} [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|past the radar]]

* Sir [[Terry Wogan]] exemplifies this trope -- welltrope—well, it's really Mick Sturbs {(the author of the "Janet and John" stories) and many of his listeners who've written in interesting letters who do, but Wogan encourages it all and every little bit of that survived his move from breakfast radio on BBC Radio 2 to his new slot in front of a live audience on Sunday afternoons.
