He just ''happened'' to trip on that rug over there and land (probably head-first) on top of her [[Funbag Airbag|ample chest]]. Maybe he needed to use the bathroom and ran into her taking a bath or a shower. And he just ''happened'' to be there when [[Marilyn Maneuver|the only wind of the day blew up her skirt]] and his only sin was [[Male Gaze|instinctive goggling]]. He can't help it if his honest-to-goodness accidental moves make him come off as as a lech that can't even muster the... "slickness"... of the [[Casanova Wannabe]].
A characterization trap here is that they sometimes come across as really being lecherous, but are too incompetent and cowardly to be open about it. They really are leering at female body parts; but are terrified of getting hit or yelled at -- or more charitably, they're ''tempted'' despite realizing that it would be '''[[Chivalrous Pervert|wrong]]'''; in either case, the gropings are a type of Freudian slip. Of course, the girls will never believe him, and almost always believe the least charitable interpretation. Cue [[Armor-Piercing Slap]], shrill cries, and desperate attempts at redemption. In comic works, the slap is often replaced with the [[Hyperspace Mallet]] or [[Paper Fan of Doom]], and god help you if you have this character trait within striking range of a [[Tsundere]].▼

* There's an ad where a woman on a plane attempts to climb over the sleeping man sitting next to her to get to the aisle. Through a series of mishaps, she ends up with her sleeves snagged (pinning her arms behind her back) and her blouse popping open. The man wakes up with the woman's breasts (covered by her bra) in his face. [[Distracted

* Densuke from ''[[Eiken]]'' is as much a parody of this trope as ''Eiken'' is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of [[Harem]] anime. It has happened so often, Chiharu (the other half of the [[Official Couple]]) has learned to recognize Densuke by ''how'' he gropes her breasts.

* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Negi occasionally falls into these situations. But because of his age, the girls are usually far more likely to blow it off or tease him about it than they are to get mad. Hell, they probably ''put'' him in the situation in the first place just to tease him! Okay, except for the billion or so times he [[Sneeze of Doom|sneezes]] and [[Clothing Damage|magically blows all their clothes off]].
** One of the most [[Egregious]] cases involves Negi falling over Asuna in a giant bathroom... while ''both'' are
** It also happens almost as frequently to the ''female'' characters, due to Negi's age absolving him of blame. For example, in one of the many "Asuna and Negi fall on top of each other while naked" scenes, a bunch of the other girls [[Not What It Looks Like|walk in on them]] and accuse Asuna of having her way with their innocent young teacher. Or the time when Ayaka walked in on Makie peeking under Negi's towel. Or when Setsuna [[Groin Attack|grabbed Negi's crotch]] during a fight because she didn't realize it was him.

It almost makes you wonder if he does [[Epileptic Trees|some of it on purpose...]]
* Partially subverted in the third season of ''[[Lyrical Nanoha]]''; Erio catches a falling Caro as a way of [[Meet Cute|introduction]] and ends up with [[Thanks for
** Also partially subverted in the first season with Yuuno. HE knows that he's actually a human male, [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|as opposed to the sentient ferret he appears to be]], and that Nanoha should probably not be doing things like undressing in front of him and dragging him into the girl's bath at the local hot springs. She, however, is ignorant of this fact, and proceeds to do both of the above. To his credit, he ''thought'' she was aware of his true form, and presumably he simply believed she just wasn't a very modest person. And in both of the above situations, he has the good grace to freakin' ''[[Blank White Eyes|panic.]]''
*** Of course, Yuuno might actually have had the right idea about her! [[All There in the Manual|Years later]], in the pre-''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

* Subverted in ''[[Vandread]]'', where the females in the crew, being unused to sexual interactions with men, rarely seem to mind the protagonist walking straight into their [[Gainaxing|jiggling]] bosoms, often letting him loiter for a bit.
** The above example only has one practitioner, Jura, who is a tremendous flirt. But the trope also played to an extreme in the episode where Hibiki's Accidental Perversion gets Bart thrown into quarantine, and leads to a strange campaign to get rid of the
* As usual, ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' subverts this trope with Shinji, whose forays into Accidental Perversion hint at the sexual frustration and confusion that add to his many psychological problems. The culmination of this subplot in ''[[Writer Revolt|End Of Evangelion]]'', when he {{spoiler|masturbates over Asuka's comatose body}}, has become a [[Never Live It Down]] moment for Shinji.
** Episode 5 of the TV series has Shinji dropping off stuff at Rei's apartment, when a naked-except-for-a-towel Rei steps out of the shower. Shinji trips and falls on top of her, his hand landing on her naked breast. Her only reaction? [[Emotionless Girl|Stoically]] ask him to get off.
** ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion|Rebuild
*** Really, the Rebuild version isn't all that different from the TV series - in fact, it's shot-for-shot, pose-for-pose alike except for a single detail: they moved a [[Scenery Censor|critical table lamp]] about two feet to the left.
** ''Rebuild 2.0'' ups the ante several degrees. Remember the toothpick scene from ''1.0'' and the TV series? This time Asuka is on the receiving end (with [[Scenery Censor]] assistance, unfortunately) and Shinji happens to turn around. It takes her a few seconds to realize why he is blushing but when she does, does she bother to cover herself? Noooo, she runs up and '''kicks him in the face while stark naked''' then has the audacity to call him a "stupid pervert". Also, when Mari parachutes onto the school roof she lands on Shinji. It takes her a few seconds to realize she has a boy in [[Marshmallow Hell]].

* Kouta Oyamuda from ''[[
* Ryo in ''[[Penguin Revolution]]'' keeps accidentally catching Yukari bathing or changing clothes, and usually gets things thrown at his head when he does.
** Ayaori also tends to wander into the bathroom while Yukari is bathing, but since he's [[Blind Without'Em]], it takes him six manga volumes to even notice that she's not a boy. By the time he does, Yukari is so used to having him wander blindly in and out that she doesn't really react, not realizing that this time he has his contacts in.
* Occasionally in ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'', Lucia will [[Naked First Impression|happen to walk in on Kaito in the shower]], although he doesn't get mad about it. There's also the time when he breaks her fall and just happens to end up with his face in her chest... Then again, Kaito is an ''out-and-out'' pervert most of the time, explaining his easygoing attitude even when it's his mistake.
* Sōsuke falls afoul of this trope a few times in ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', at one point causing [[Tsundere|Kaname]] to come at him with a baseball bat.
** In one episode he pulls a [[Diving Save]] to get Kaname out of the path of a truck, and ends up [[Thanks for
* In ''[[Inubaka]]'', Teppei has to go into the storage room to get something. Yeah, too bad the new recruit is in there changing... and then, later on, when he has to get something else, he finds Suguri with no pants. He then wonders if building a girls' dorm was wasted.
* ''[[The Kindaichi Case Files]]'': Kindaichi is a genuine pervert who tries to pretend that he got into these kinds of situations by accident, but he has had his share of unintentional walk-ins, including one time he accidentally barged into a bathroom while it was occupied. {{spoiler|He'd [[Eureka Moment|then realize later]] that the character claiming to be female had been peeing with the toilet seat up, and this lead to the solution to the mystery.}}

*** It also leads, directly, to her deciding to marry him. A decision which she carries through with about seven years later.
Line 87 ⟶ 84:
** Used to a greater extent in the [[High School AU|high-school alternate-universe]] manga version of the series.
* Inverted in ''[[Mahoujin Guru Guru|Doki Doki Densetsu Mahoujin Guru Guru]]'' when Kukuri and Miruka walk in on Nike and two guys in the middle of changing clothes. The girls quickly run away from the sight while [[Lampshade Hanging|Kukuri remarks that the situation is backwards]] and [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|wonders "what is it about this anime?"]]
* Ryota in ''[[Kyou no Go no Ni]]'' always finds himself in some perverted situation. Such as: falling sick and heading to the nurse's office, only to find that Chika has had her clothing stolen by her friends. Or when Chika is being forcibly stripped by her friends to measure her size -- [[With Friends Like These...|that girl needs some new friends]].
** One especially bad situation happens in the first episode. After Ryota and Natsumi are accidentally looked in the athletic equipment shed by a coach, it turns out that she is afraid of the dark and grasp at him for comfort while sobbing... inadvertently pulling his pants down while he tries to get her head away from his crotch. When the coach opens the door, it appears that Ryota is trying to force her to perform fellatio on him. The fact she thanked the coach for saving her did not help his case. This kind of sets the tone for the series, really.
* Spoofed in ''[[Wedding Peach Abridged]]''. In the original series, this trope is played straight and Yosuke is sometimes inadvertently put into compromising positions. In [[The Abridged Series]], these scenes are edited so that he is portrayed as a [[Lovable Sex Maniac]].
* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (
** In [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
* Louie in ''[[Rune Soldier Louie]]'' suffers from this ''a lot!'' There are at least three examples in the first episode alone.
* Jin from ''[[Kannagi]]''; our hero always seems to find himself in strange situations when his [[Clingy Jealous Girl|childhood friend]] comes in.
* In the [[Yaoi Fangirl]]'s corner of the ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' fandom, it's become something of a running gag to have Syaoran walk in on Kurogane and Fai while they're in the midst of sex. Most of this is pure [[Rule of Funny]], since Syaoran is so straight-laced and noble (at least when it comes to sex and Sakura) most of the time.
** Another twist the fandom uses sometimes is to have Sakura catch them and either not know what's going on [[Yaoi Fangirl|or like it]].
* ''[[Kenichi:
** In a recent{{when}} episode, Shigure accidentally crushes down the screen between Kenichi and Miu in the dressing room (when stopping [[Dirty Old Man|Ma Kensei]] from taking pictures of Miu). This results in Kenichi suddenly seeing Miu (almost completely) naked. Next panel? Kenichi all beaten up and Ma Kensei observing that Kenichi actually shows no regrets about it.
* Partially subverted in the case of ''[[Tona Gura]]'' male lead Yuuji Kagura. He doesn't mean to walk in on female lead Kazuki in awkward situations, but he also doesn't hesitate to exploit them.
* In ''[[
* Death the Kid in ''[[Soul Eater]]''. He will [[Never Live It Down|never live down]] his introduction episode. First, he goes off on a [[Super OCD|symmetry rant]] and without thinking about it, grabs both partner's breasts, to get an [[Armor-Piercing Slap]] from Liz... who was not complaining about being groped. Then later the same episode, Kid is going to go save them, but they had been [https://web.archive.org/web/20150219154851/http://read.mangashare.com/Soul-Eater/chapter-000/page110.html all tied up at the moment]...and Kid was really not much help.

* Kyōsuke in ''Ultimate!! [[Hentai Kamen]]''. A few other characters, but mostly him; possibly due to his [[Only Sane Man]] syndrome.
* Nonomiya Nono from ''[[Nononono]]'' seizes on the assumption that she's a pervert/transvestite rather than be found out as a girl when the local [[Tsundere]] finds her changing and sees her panties.

** Of course, there's also the first meeting with his love interest, a woman whose magic causes her body to be made entirely out of water. When trying to freeze her in the middle of battle he grabs the first thing he can get a hold of: her boob.

** First season episode 3: After Taro gets off a couch he accidentally falls into Mariel and gets a face full of [[Funbag Airbag]].

*** He's thrown onto Mariel during an earthquake and accidentally gropes her breasts.
*** The puppy Fenrir jumps on him and knocks him and Mariel down. He ends up lying face down on top of her.
** ''La Verite'' episode 12: He inadvertently gropes one of his personal maid's breasts while sleepily trying to turn off an alarm clock.
* Kosuda from ''[[B Gata H Kei]]'' provides examples of this on a few occasions, though the difference is that his girlfriend (and series protagonist) Yamada ''wants it''.
** Problem is, he has no idea. That she wants it. Or even that she's his girlfriend.
* Kickboxing trainer Kunimitsu from ''[[
* A rare example of the accidental pervert getting away with it: In ''[[Ultimate Girls]]'' [[Kaiju]] obsessed high school reporter Makoto hears someone in a room yell "monster", bursts in, takes several photos, reloads his camera, takes more photos, realizes his mistake, and politely leaves. The room was filled with girls who were changing their clothes. Several seconds go by before the first of them reacts.
* In the OVA of ''Guyver'': out of control; after his first battle, Sho carries and unconscious Mizuki to her house. She then wakes up to see him carry her, more specifically notices his hand under her rear. She then jumps off him and says "Sho, you're a pervert!!" before running off. Leaving him confused.
* If Touma of ''[[
* Chigusa, from ''[[Silver Diamond]]'', is a frequent example of this trope. So much so that he gets labelled as a pervert by almost every single character that meets him. Pretty much the only one who doesn't is his most frequent victim, [[Chaste Hero|Rakan]].

* Happens now and then on the [[Discworld]].
** In ''[[Equal Rites]]'', Archchancellor Cutangle rides pillion behind Granny Weatherwax on a broom, holding on to her to avoid falling off. When she objects to the ''way'' (or, rather, [[Thanks for the Mammary|the ''place'']]) he's holding, he apologises and explains he hasn't much experience with women. Even then, he still needs to be told to change his grip.
*** This scene is repeated almost verbatim with Bilious and Susan in ''[[Hogfather]]'', except they're riding Binky.
** Played with in ''[[The Last Continent]]''. The Senior Wrangler had once accidentally seen the ''tailor's dummy'' used by Unseen University's housekeeper to make her own clothes, and had never seen her the same way since. Exactly what was special about the dummy is never stated, but it had no arms or head and was presumably shaped like her torso.

* ''[[The View Askewniverse|Mallrats]]'' has [[Silent Bob]] turning into one of these: each time a [[Zany Scheme]] backfires, he ends up in a women's dressing room, where he sees a girl in the process of trying on clothes. And it's always the same girl.

She was making a nude run for the wardrobe and he was... good at timing (who takes off their clothes to listen to music while standing up?). They're both not looking and walk into each other at a fast pace with the response "Oh my god, why are you naked?" "Why are you wet?!"

Across from her is Hui-cheol, an innocent village pharmacist preparing to propose to his girlfriend with his deceased mother's ring. A bout of turbulence releases the ring he was holding from his grasp and lands underneath Yeong-ju's feet. Trying to unsuccessfully get the ring under her seat, more turbulence wakes up Yeong-ju in time to notice Hui-cheol rummaging under her skirt. Cue the screaming and angry hitting.

At one point her father arrives and the young woman runs away. Red does not see this because he is bashfully looking the other way. He reaches over to, I guess, take her hand and his hand comes to rest on the guy's bald head. Red panics and pulls his hand away. It's been all these years and I still do not know what the audience at the time was supposed to think. Was he panicking because the father was there, or was he panicking because his hand had come to rest on her partially exposed breast? Given censorship and the subversion of it in comedy, I really do not know.
== Video Games ==
* Jin Kazama of ''[[Tekken]]'' fame became an accidental pervert in one of ''Tekken 5'''s many endings. After being rescued by Asuka Kazama from his monstrous great grandfather Jinpachi Mishima and regaining his humanity through some kind of healing touch unintentionally administered by Asuka, he awakens suddenly and thrusts himself forward to get to his feet, but accidentally bumps into Asuka while she was trying to wake him. Naturally she falls on her back and he lands facefirst between her (somewhat ample for a 17 year old...) bosom with an obligatory "boing" sound effect. Much time passes before he stands up, at which point the hot-headed Asuka becomes outraged and punches him into a rock before storming off. This exchange is made quite disturbing when you consider the two are actually cousins, though they might not actually know it.
